"67. You think that the doctrine of the holy trinity is biblically based."

In light of point 16, I can only respond:

"I pray... for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." -John 17:20-26

What does that have to do with the holy trinity? I see no mention of the "holy spirit", nor any other entity that could take its place ( ... )

Well, I think you may be assuming that I'm defending things that I am not trying to defend. I am pointing to the divine unity that Jesus prayed for and claimed he enjoyed.

Concerning Jews, it is because the Jews were so unaware of God's trinitarian nature, that Jesus was misunderstood as being blasphemous as he claimed to be both God and man. Concerning Hinduism, I do not know enough about Hinduism to comment, though I do trust that Christianity first begun to reveal the trinity that I defend.

I believe that God does not spell out the trinity in the Scriptures, in light of its mysterious nature. And while I do think that foundational things can be understood, concerning this trinity, in verses such as I have referenced, I believe it still remains one of the more elusive qualities of God, and community, and life.

I have no idea what you are referencing, concerning the space-ship :P

I think this site is what I remember. And an illustration.

It's pretty amusing, really. :D

I'm Catholic and not one of these applies to me, that's the gayest shit I've ever read. I hoped for something more creative from this community.

eriscontrol January 30 2006, 22:49:39 UTC

I didn't realise a list could be gay. What, does it prefer the company of other lists?

godwillnspire January 31 2006, 01:17:51 UTC

Well, it specifically prefers the company of other lists of its own gender.

eriscontrol January 31 2006, 01:45:16 UTC

So, numbered lists?

It's just meant to be a joke. We all know most Christians are not like this.

Not all apparently.
