What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

[RLT63]

Elbert Einstein once said you do not understand it yourself if you cannot teach it to a 6 year old.

Who is Elbert Einstein?

 

[RLT63]

God did not make anything in the Bible to be difficult to understand. There are no mysteries that He is hiding from us or anything that He writes to us that He has made hard for us to understand. In most cases a child could understand it. We have to be educated into man made religions to be able to come up with statements like God did not mean for us to understand it.

1 Corinthians 2:7

 

[RLT63]

Many of the Epistles start by saying something like...

Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

How come the Holy Spirit person is always getting cheated out of the greeting?

John 16:13-14 He doesn't speak of himself

 

[RLT63]

My problem with this is that I know it's impossible to be 100 percent of a creature and 100 percent of another creature at the same time.

With God all things are possible

 

[Matthias]

With God all things are possible

In Jewish monotheism, all things which are in keeping with God’s character are possible. Things which aren’t in keeping with his character aren’t possible.

Is is possible that your deity could be (or could become) ten billion persons?

The Holy Spirit can fill that many people

The Holy Spirit can fill that many people

Does that make them your deity?

Reminds me of a question I used to get. If God is all powerful can he make a rock so big that God himself can't lift it?

It isn’t possible with the doctrine of the Trinity for the Trinity to ever be more or less than three persons.

Dr. Einsein was once queried by a colleague why he was repeating a test
that he gave his students once already. He replied: The science has changed
since then.

Science, real science, resists chipping itself in stone, but is always prepared
to reconsider and to revise. This speaks of the problem we're all having with
Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC. Their opinions about Covid are inflexible;
and they refuse to yield to data proving their vaccines, and their methods,
for dealing with this disease are faulty, ineffective, and even downright
dangerous.

Absolutely.

Science, and medicine (which I guess are the same thing), both change their certainties at least once, or twice, a decade.

Fascinating how so many can put so much faith in the current certainties of science and medicine when they are always coming back out with "Scientists/Doctors now say blah, blah, blah ..."

It's exactly the same with Evolution and the Big Bang. Those "theories" have changed, and been disproven, so many times since I was a kid, ... good gracious. I don't know how anybody can trust anything they see/hear in the mainstream these days.

Don't!

Trust the Bible, trust God, and to heck with all the rest of it.

It isn’t possible with the doctrine of the Trinity for the Trinity to ever be more or less than three persons.

It's not more than 3 persons. Jesus is not 2 persons.

 

[Matthias]

It's not more than 3 persons. Jesus is not 2 persons.

If all things are possible for the Trinity then it is possible for the Trinity to do what the doctrine of the Trinity says the Trinity cannot do.

If all things are possible for the Trinity then it’s possible for the Trinity not to exist.

If all things are possible for the Trinity then it’s possible for the Trinity to be more wicked than Satan.

Your argument to @Peterlag is that “ it’s possible to be 100 percent of a creature and 100 percent of another creature” on the grounds that “With God all things are possible”.

It’s an unsound argument.

A creature is a creature, not a creature and another creature.

The one God of Israel is neither a creature nor a creature who is another creature.

In scripture, the one God of Israel is one person, the Messiah’s God and Father.

 

[Matthias]

It's not more than 3 persons.

I would have said “He’s not” rather than “It’s not” but I get your point. The Trinity is not more than 3 persons. My point is that the Trinity, by the doctrine / teaching, will never be more than 3 persons. It’s not possible that He, the Trinity, can be more than 3 persons. Such a thing is not possible for Him.

Jesus is not 2 persons.

What’s the harm in believing and teaching others that Jesus is 2 persons?

Would you say something about it to a person who does? Or would you say that it doesn’t matter because the person believes in “the deity of Christ”?

God did not make anything in the Bible to be difficult to understand. There are no

Most any educated mind can understand a Bible translated in their native
tongue. However, the mind of God understands the Bible in a way peculiar
to His own way of thinking.

• 1Cor 2:10 . . His spirit searches out everything and shows us even God's
deep secrets.

It is no easier to read God's mind than to read a man's.

• 1Cor 2:11 . . No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except
that person alone, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own
spirit.

In a nutshell; His spirit enables mortal men to pick God's brain (so to speak)
so they can understand the Bible as God himself understands it.

• 1Cor 2:14 . . A natural man does not accept the things of the spirit of God;
for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because
they are spiritually appraised.

• 1Cor 1:16 . . But we have the mind of Christ.

Does that make them your deity?

Are you saying that it’s possible for your deity to be ten billion persons?

When you talk about what is possible there are infinite things God could do but he chooses to be 3 persons.

 

[Matthias]

When you talk about what is possible there are infinite things God could do but he chooses to be 3 persons.

The Messiah’s God - the God of Israel, Yahweh - hasn’t chosen to be 3 persons, and never will.

Now let’s talk about your deity. Could your deity choose to be more than 3 persons? If not, why not? If so, how do you know your deity hasn’t already chosen to do so and hasn’t told you about it yet?

 

[Peterlag]

With God all things are possible

Yeah but not confusion and logic that makes no sense. That's not my God.

1 Corinthians 2:7

The mystery in 1 Corinthians 2:7 that you quote above has been revealed (verse 10).

Albert Einstein was a pretty smart man.
