I believe in One God,
The father almighty
And His Son Jesus Christ...
Yep. ONE GOD
By definition there has to be a supreme being. All myths that try pluralism have to keep continually regressing until ...
Sure the Christian Trinity is hard, if not impossible, to get our limited intellects around. But there are many things we can't understand. The Universe is one. We've only known for a century that there are other galaxies beyond our own. We still do not know why or how they exist.
Another thing we struggle with is justice. We are imperfect creatures looking up at a perfect God. In a perfect system there has to be balance. A system where different rules apply to different individuals would not be just. Just look at the terrible tortures Jesus had to endure to balance the account of sin. It almost reads like Jesus the man didn't understand why he had to suffer and die. He says, as man, to the Father "Take this cup away "...but then as God"... Your will be done Abba". For about 24 hours he endured the most horrendous abuse that is possible. Before, in the garden, he was so afraid he sweated blood, terror siezed him. After the arrest they beat Him all the way to the trial. Then they flayed Him literally ripping the skin of Him with an assortment of whips. The crown of thorns was more of a helmet of thorns. The beatings and abuse never stopped until after his final agony on the cross, the cruellest torture the Roman's could think off. He endured all this so that we might have a way out of the trap of sin and be acceptable to the Father. He balanced the account. Are we grateful?
Have fun but do not sin.
Cobblers!
ReplyDeleteYou bang on about one god and then try and foist this silly trinity thing on us.
It’s got to be one thing or another.
I’ll go with Richard’s Zeus idea.

DeleteThe Greeks made up Zeus long before RBB!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t know that the Greeks made up RBB.
DeleteThat might explain why he fancied Tony’s Greek girlfriend Anthea.

ReplyDeleteDoesn't original sin start with Eve biting that bloody apple? The rest of us did nothing wrong but got born with original sin. What a twisted god! He sounds like Trump.
