@Arella Mae,
LOL if I remember correctly in the Bible there is a statement that not even Jesus know the time of the second coming. So if it was one and the same 3 in 1 person it seem hard and pointless to keep secrets from one part of yourself.

In any case the whole thing is nonsense on it face.

Good starting point, a hard logical contradiction noticed between the book and religious dogma.

But then Whoops, there goes baby with the bath water

@Arella Mae,
You fell for confusing double negatives.

"...enough to disprove that Jesus is not One with the Father" means enough to prove Jesus is One with the Father.

The official doctrine of the church is of the oneness of the Trinity, rendering this vs a heresy.

There is One God (as the Jews believe). However, even the Jews are on record saying Jacob wrestled with a man, not an angel. And that he later claims "you have fought with God." And they have a Spirit of the Lord, which leaves Saul and he becomes possessed by an evil spirit.

The official doctrine:
Father is God
Son is God
Spirit is God
Father is not Son
Son is not Spirit
Spirit is not Father

They are three distinct parts of God, not three gods. The Holy Spirit is part of our souls somehow (I always wind up comparing it to Shinto ideas), the Father created all things, and the Son personally interacts with humanity.
If the Father tried to interact with humans, our heads would explode seeing him. If the Holy Spirit tried to interact with humans, we'd not know the difference from a regular conversation. Likewise for creating or souls. Each of these aspects of God is best at their job, but God is One.

Take a dart and toss it. Let's discuss that one.

I was merely refuting the claim the Bible never mentions the Trinity. I still haven't hear an admission that, yes, the Bible mentions the Trinity and aspects of Trinity, many times. In fact - there's a bunch more mentions.

So: Our discussion starts here - The Bible talks quite a bit about the Trinity.

I am willing to discuss any or all of what you call "cut and pastes", but I prefer "the inspired word of G*d."

God can't be much of a God if he is arrogant. Naturally, God defers to Himself.

The Shack has a good picture of what God is like. They accuse this of modalism and inventing a fourth side of the Trinity, but I thought it was a good film.

It never uses the word "Trinity" though. The concept is definitely there though. Neither do real copies of the Bible contain the word "Hell." Hell is from Norse tradition, which confused Helheim ( a Sheol-like shadowland) with the realm of the fire giants.
