I wouldn't call it dogged... Or determination for that matter. So right from the start the whole of the post seems to have lost all point, direction and intelligibility (is that a word?).
Anyway, I think the main aim for this post was to give an update on my current theological outlook as regards to the Trinity. Been struggling with this 'issue' for the better part of a year now, so it's not a passing phase.
At the moment evidence, people and scripture is mounting up on both sides of the argument, which i won't bore you with. But whichever God decides to reveal Himself in, I will accept it, but obviously not without teasing out any objections I have made clear in my previous postings.
I've spoken to a great many people about this, all Trinitarians, and all reasonably intelligent; and they believe in it, which leads me to doubt my doubts. It's a very hard subject. I want to be Christian, but I'm not comfortable worshipping Jesus as God if I'm not sure if He is God (or a 3rd of God, or whatever).
Want to put more intelligent sounding arguments in the post, but I can't be bothered at the moment, also I need to put a disclaimer somewhere on the site... Hmmz.
I find I can't pray with other Christians without thinking either "good they're praying how Jesus taught we should" or "why are they praying to Jesus and calling Him the Father" or just doctoring anything they say. It's well annoying.
I wish I was eloquent in day to day life and wish I could articulate my views and thoughts in an understandable and coherrant manner, I just end up getting several mental blocks after every other word and so find it so hard to pray out loud, debate about anything or socialise with people who I haven't clicked with.
My post looks reasonably reasonable (ha) from here, but will probably appear as many line entries, worthy of a primary school gold star. Ooo yeah.
Anyway, an update on my theological position:
Jesus Christ is Son of God, fully man, Saviour of humankind, King over Creation, only mediator between God the Father and man
YaHWeH is God, and all that that entails
Holy Spirit is YHWH God's holy spirit, given as a gift to various prophets and to all followers now
But this may change depending on whether my questions are answered:
- Is Trinitarian belief idolatry/polytheism?
- Is Unitarian belief denying Jesus in front of man?
- Am I, in a word, screwed either way?
