ME: Men's sin indeed sends them to hell. And at the same time, God ordains all the occurs. Yet God is not the author of sin.

YOU: Doesn't that seem like a non sequitur?

Nope. There are those who would say the Trinity is a non sequitur and self-contradictory. But Scripture defines the Godhead to my satisfaction. And to yours, I would assume.

The Trinitarian God is just fine by me. It is well documented and affirmed by the Church.

The discarding of the bulk of humanity, in apparent opposition to the bulk of the Bible does not make sense to me.

I don’t understand. There is no Scripture that contradicts the concept of the Trinity. The entire concept of the Trinity certainly is derived, and it is derived by the very men whose conclusions and pronouncements are cherry picked by those outside of the Church.

I accept the Bible and the Church’s teaching of who and what God is with my whole heart, mind and soul. I am His creature; He is not mine. That’s why I sometimes get a little irritable when people talk about ‘my God’ and ‘my Scripture reading’, and ‘my religion’ and so on.

Sorry, I digress. :)
