Great News! I have updated my book and its better than ever! I address more Scriptures and dig a little deeper philosophically! Its great for beginners, with the first half walking simply over the topic. And offers the seasoned more depth by the end.

@QuestionTrinity Well you embrace polytheism so I'll stick with the Bible on this one. You worship Jesus as a creation and the Father as co-creators! You worship 2 gods, which violates the 1st Commandment!

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@rootcausesleuth God is Salvation (Psalm 62:2) and Eternal Life (1John 5:20). For your spirit to be union with His is having Salvation and Eternal Life (1Corinthians 6:17, 1John 4:13, Romans 8:9, Titus 3:5, John 17:3).

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity I have. Thats my point, you are putting words in their mouths. They didn't say 1 mind b/c they didn't break it down that way. A will is the drive guiding behavior-they saw it came from the essence, not the mind like you seem to think. So you are wrong. They didn't hold to 1 mind

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity Lol. Your view is heretical historically! Its called Arianism! It is based on Platonic Greek understanding and applying to God. For Arians said there can only be 1 ultimate Singularity that Plato laid out and that can only be the Father, thus the Son is part of creation

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity In fact, you worship multiple gods! Because you acknowledge that the Apostles worshipped Jesus. And you worship Jesus as a created thing! So you worship a creation! And you worship 2 gods! Violating the 1st Commandment!

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity You have many gods! What do you care? Satan isn't just taking the role of God in people's lives to you! Satan is god to you!

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity Is there another Trinity next to it? Is any kind of living being next to the Trinity? No. Thus it is alone

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity ...That uniqueness is seen in the speech of Jesus and the Father and Spirit. Which requires 3 minds. The mind is where the awareness happens to speak uniquely from eachother. But it was 1 Will and Power or force flowing through Them.

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity Yes it was. You are confusing the early Trinity with Modalism. It was not Modalism. God was seen as being 1 Essence which is where 1 Will and 1 Power comes from and all the character traits come from. It flowed through the 3 Hypostases of Itself. Hypostases indicates uniqueness🧵

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity What more important is that the Bible declares your belief a heresy! Isaiah 43:10 is clear no other gods exists! Isaiah 44:24 is clear Yahweh was alone when He made everything. 1Cor8:6, Col1:16-17, Heb1:2, John1:3 all are clear Jesus is the Creator! Thus Jesus is Yahweh!

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity Not at all! Lol. God is 1 Living Being! I have studied the original articulation of the Trinity and hold it! Social Trinitarianism holds that the 3 Persons have 3 wills! The original Trinity holds that the 3 Persons have 3 minds but 1 will!

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity I think you know what self-awareness is. Its being aware of oneself. It requires a mind, that acknowledges itself as existing&unique from others.The Bible shows God has 3 of these. YHWH refers to 1 Being, & is a Proper Name.There is no contradiction. Being isnt the same as Person

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@voosiki The first one you described is not Trinitarianism, its Modalism which is also known as Oneness Theology.

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity It is the Name of the 1 Being who created everything. That 1 Higher Life Form is composed of 3 Self-awarenesses or what we call Persons - Father, Son, Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19)

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@rabbriansamuel It depends. Some are. You are. But there are some who think of Jesus as merely a human Messiah, and deny His Deity and that He is YHWH. Those are not Christians or followers of YHWH.

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity Thats my point, your view requires multiple gods, b/c Jesus is called God! Yet Paul is clear "there is no God but One. For even if there are so-called gods in heaven & earth...for us there is but One God, the Father..."and" Jesus Christ, by whom are all things" (1Cor8:4-6)

[Andrew K. Stephens @AndrewKStephen1]

@QuestionTrinity Literally the Scripture says "the Word was "with" God (distinct from God) & the Word was God (the Word is at the same time the Person, God) (J1:1).Thomas says "to" Jesus 'My Lord & My God' (20:28). Rom9:5 says"the Christ according to the flesh who is over all.God blessed forever"
