Would Chrisitianity make more sense if they dropped the Trinity and just said Jesus was the son and seperate ?

Question

Seperate being from GOD.

.

Answer 1

1. God the Father plans it
2. God the son(jesus) executes the plan
3. God the Holy Spirit reveals the plan to his people

THAT IS THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, 3 WORKING AS 1.
ALL PART OF THE GODHEAD.
The word trinity is not in the Bible, but the concept repeats itself over and over again!

Answer 2

Trinity doesn't mean that Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one person.

When the Bible says that husband and wife are "one flesh", this doesn't mean that the husband and wife are the same person.

Can you explain the Trinity to me?

A: The Bible shows very clearly that there is only one God, and yet that there are three personal distinctions in His complex nature, traditionally referred to as "three Persons in the Godhead"—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is distinct from the others but never acts independently. They are one in nature and purpose. This mystery is called the doctrine of the Trinity, though that term is not used in the Bible. The teaching, however, is present in seed form in the Old Testament and is revealed explicitly in the New Testament. Note passages such as Matthew 28:19; John 10:30, 14:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Our finite minds cannot understand or explain this mystery of God, which is nevertheless a fact. We must accept the truths found in the Word of God by faith even though we ourselves cannot comprehend them fully; read Hebrews 11:1,3,6 and 1 Corinthians 2:5-10;14; 13:12. It is really not surprising that the infinite God should be complex in His nature beyond the ability of finite humans to comprehend! This doctrine is absolutely essential to New Testament Christianity. Theologians have pointed out that if it were not true, the Bible would be unreliable, Christ would not be divine, and His death on the cross would not atone for our sins, being merely the death of a martyr.

Answer 3

What you would have is something other than Christianity. The Father is God. Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is God.

The Bible is clear that Jesus is God. Only God could be worshiped, yet Jesus accepted worship. Only God could forgive sins. Yet Jesus forgave sins. When Jesus was being questioned by the Pharisees, He said, before "Abraham was, I am", a clear reference to God in the burning bush. Jesus Himself said "I'm the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end", besides saying "I and My Father are one".

When Annias and Saphria lied, Paul asked why are you lying to the Holy Spirit. He said a couple of lines later, you're not lying to man, but to God, a clear statement that the Holy Spirit and God are one.

Answer 4

You mean, if everyone was a Seventh Day Adventist (no Holy Ghost, but Jesus is still the Son of God)? Or if everyone was an Ebionite (no Holy Ghost, and Jesus was a man, not the Son of God, with no virgin birth and physical resurrection)? These subsets of Christianity exist, and the Ebionites, in particular, are growing due to the number of people who have trouble with the "mythology" of the Bible.

Answer 5

Yes perfectly good sence.... God, nor Jesus wanted things to be complicated conscerning the bible, but do want you to be sincere in seeking spiritual answers remember seek and you shall find, that scripture was talking of things of a spiritual nature and i had that very same trinity question also heres what i found:
1) John 10:36 the pharasees thought Jesus was blaspheming because they thought he was making him self God (Almighty)
he told them that" THEY BLASPHEMED because he said he was GODS SON." not God.
2) Matt 24:36 to me was the most convincing proof they are not the same individuals. conscerning that day and hour (when the end of the world is to come) not the angels, nor the Son (Jesus) knows.... only the Father. If all 3 were the trinity or same, wouldnt Jesus know when too??? yet he said he didnt... that was the scripture that really did it for me.
3) John 20:17 Jesus says out of his own mouth, he's ascending to your Father and my Father to your God and my God.
the scripture that says the Father and I are one.... havent you heard of the 3 musketeers even though they are 3 different individuals but yet where they say ONE for all and all for ONE? like them so to speak that lets me know that the Father and Son are not the same individual but rather are in the same line of thought , believe in the same thing, have one belief, the same way of doing things, which = ONE

Look also at this John 17:21 & 22....Jesus said talking about his desciples that they ALL may be ONE just as you, Father, are in union with me. vs 22 clears it up.... that they may be ONE just as we are ONE. The desciples are not God or Jesus but he was praying for them to be ONE with them ALSO. meaning in faith, beliefs the way of doing things not the same individuals or trinity....

now im just saying for ME these scriptures from the bible not man was enough proof!

Answer 6

Not only would that make more sense, but that is what the Bible says. Jehovah is refered to as Almighty (Ex. 6:3), the Most High (Ps. 83:18), (the only true God) Jesus is God's Son. (John 10:36) Not only that, but he is inferior to his Father. At John 14:28, Jesus said: "The Father is greater than I am." At 1Cor. 11:3, it says: "The head of the Christ is God." Does Christ have a head? Yes. Does God have a head? No.

According to the trinity: "there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Godhead are coequal and co-eternal." Is there any verse in the Bible that says God is made up of three co-equal, co-eternal persons? NOT ONE!

Those that believe the trinity, ask them to show you JUST ONE scripture where it says "God the Son" or "God the holy spirit."

Answer 7

No, it wouldn't.
Unfortunately, some people (not you, of course) never study theology, but think that they can run right out and understand a complex metaphysical doctrine like the Trinity. That's like asking, "Wouldn't Heidegger make more sense if we just got rid of the whole 'Being and Time' thing?" You can no more understand the Trinity apart from Hellenistic metaphysics than you can under Heidegger from reading the back cover of the book.

Answer 8

Probably would make more sense.

And while we're at it, let's drop "saved by grace", and replace it with "through works". And get rid of that exclusive statement "can only come to the Father through me."

hey...when comparing His infinite mind to my finite one, there are some things I will not understand until I am completed in perfection.

Not my job to change the message to get more recruits.

Answer 9

no.

It make no sense to follow a religion that says that the Laws of Life are done away with. Kinda sounds like "Surly you will not die!"'

Go figure.

And people still fall for that one.

Remember, Satan did not deceive by telling you to keep the Laws of Yahweh, she tried, and did take them away.

Read Isa 24 for proof.

Answer 10

Then Christianity wouldn't be a monotheistic religion.

The Old Testament clearly teaches there is only 1 God.

All Truth isn't simple. It is more important to teach Truth than simplicity.
