The Trinity Questions – For Traditional Christians
Interested replied to AnthonyB's topic in Christian Beliefs Board
Man was created in the image of God. (Adam) Mankind on the other hand was created in the image of imperfect Adam. -
Oh then therapists? I have one
-
Are moderators pros?

How should I approach boards like this? (or secular boards) and ask for help with my sex abuse recovery? I realize I shouldn't be graphic so I'm not often.
-
I mean that Jesus'es resurected body and physical body are the same.
-
This is not Gnostic Teachings. This is the truth. When Jesus ascended into Heaven, what do you think happened to his body? Do you think it burned in the atmosphere? Edit- Joshua = Yeshua They aren't seperate beings.
-
Only in specific cases. Michael the Archangel, the Angel of the Lord is always in the presence of the Lord, so where he is, God is. And yes, spiritually, I believe that a man is with his wife while they are seperated, but that is just an opinion of mine.

Simple. I can see from my repetitive lack of action in reading the scriptures that you have a point to where it would seem that I am being lazy and just putting my own spin on things. But I have to rhetorically respond Socratically. Why do you think that just because I may not be using the proper method of debate that I am necessarily incorrect? Yes, he can. As contradictory as it sounds there is an Earthly explanation for his return. And it is, that Jesus'es ressurected body is in Heaven, and his physical body, known as Joshua, will return to the planet's stratosphere.(Or so I have come to understand it.) His spirit, has always been God.

"If I descend into the depths of Hell you are there." Is written in the Old Testament. The same passage mentions that God is everywhere, in so many words.
-
Elohim... yes. The plural name for God. But that can still be a Trinatarian teaching. One Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient God can be Elohim, and be the plural meaning for the word and still be one God. Omnipresent REALLY being an important word

[Couldn't these sons of God be angels of his that were sent to educate man and then later fell?
-
The knife cuts and I bleed. The blade thrusts and I bleed. The spear pierces and I die. Welcome to life. I live forever more. No arrow can slay me... If I die, I live forever more. I will live forever more. The laws of Nature defied. Even should I return to the dust. I will live forever more. More than spirit. I shall breathe should I cease to be. More than spirit, which is more than body. I am eternal.. Christ has blessed me.

Quoted for truth. -
Yes, I can expound. I think its more likely the man was blinded so the people could see God having victory over evil than to think the man was blinded because billions or how many years ago he sinned in a previous life. Edit- By the way, I do believe in pre-existence, I just don't see any scriptural evidence for it.
-
I find Orthodox Christianity's answer about the blind man certainly more satisfying that a karmic one.
-
What support for everyone's pre-existence does the scripture support?
-
Not necessarily. Jesus has always existed eternally with the Father. Jesus and the Father are I AM. Not "One".
-
Adam was created in the image of God. We were not.
-
G-d cannot be omnipresent and omniscient and omnipotent and be the only one of his "kind". The flaw of the Traditional Trinitarian (monotheistic) G-d is that he can only deal with that which is inferior and flawed and G-d therefore, lacks the power, intelligence, grace and everything else needed to deal with another being like himself - yet he demands that all his creation do this very thing that he cannot. There can be only one Omnipotent in the universe. Edit - What if the god's will contradict's eachother?
-
On the other hand, this is the same Orthodox Christianity Huegenoths died over.
-
This is somewhat misleading. Orthodox Christianity states that the Trinity is God. This does not mean that Christianity has struggled to be monotheistic like Judaism. It is monotheistic. If God can be omnipresent and omniscient and omnipotent, then why not one literal God in three persons. There is no struggle to put this into an Orthodox perspective if you think closely enough.
-
I just interperate the passage of Jesus calling people gods differently. To ancient peoples, demons could be considered gods.
-
What is a body but a temple to the Lord? Those who have violated my body have desecrated God's temple. It is not just I who suffer, but God who cries for my pain. Not just for loss of His Holy Place. But a loss for my innocent face. He shines on me with the brilliance of the very sun. No matter the darkness of my pain. I will rise to learn again, that God loves me. God loves me, more than I will ever learn.
-
Hm. That is an interesting view.

I'm reading some of it. I haven't gotten far.
