Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith.
For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever.
This is what the Catholic faith teaches: we worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity.
Neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance.
For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit.
But the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have one divinity, equal glory, and coeternal majesty.
What the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Spirit is.
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated.
The Father is boundless, the Son is boundless, and the Holy Spirit is boundless.
The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal.
Nevertheless, there are not three eternal beings, but one eternal being.
So there are not three uncreated beings, nor three boundless beings, but one uncreated being and one boundless being.
Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent.
Yet there are not three omnipotent beings, but one omnipotent being.
Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
However, there are not three gods, but one God.
The Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord.
However, there as not three lords, but one Lord.
For as we are obliged by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person singly to be God and Lord, so too are we forbidden by the Catholic religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords.
The Father was not made, nor created, nor generated by anyone.
The Son is not made, nor created, but begotten by the Father alone.
The Holy Spirit is not made, nor created, nor generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son.
There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits.
In this Trinity, there is nothing before or after, nothing greater or less. The entire three Persons are coeternal and coequal with one another.
So that in all things, as is has been said above, the Unity is to be worshipped in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity.
He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must believe thus about the Trinity.
>three Persons
>666
Behind!
>The entire three Persons are coeternal and coequal with one another.
Then why did Jesus say hes come to do the will of the father, not his will?
And why does Jesus only have two natures?
And why is the Son eternally begotten to the Father?
>Jesus only have two natures
Being real and frontin'.
BASED!
It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man.
Non-Christian here.
Why do you keep posting this over and over again? Are you really that desperate for LULZ Karma?
I just linked it asking for the question to be replied in this thread or in mine
Thread derailment counts as off-topic.
I'm asking why Christians think the Bible, which is one of their bases for the Trinity, is 100% true.
Cuz it says so.
>Trinity
Where does it state the trinity in the bible?
Pay for an advertisement and redirect people to your shitty bait thread that way.

Chud that was yesterday...
As God, He was begotten of the substance of the Father before time; as man, He was born in time of the substance of His Mother.
He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh.
He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but inferior to the Father in His humanity.
Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ.
And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed unto God.
He is one, not by a mingling of substances, but by unity of person.
As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ.
He died for our salvation, descended into hell, and rose from the dead on the third day.
He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their own deeds.
Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into the everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved.
Amen.
What's the deal with those sick robes the church fathers wore? Why haven't anyone revived that style, looks great.
Orthodox still dress like this
>mfw Lao Tzu was Orthodox
Still worshiping Saint Michael.
Non sense fairytale, dumb loser
Still GOD, dingus
But tell me, is Jesus “good”
Because
>there is none good but one, that is God
You are lucky you have a bunch of unhinged Cathodox arguing with you
They couldn’t form an argument besides “muh church” to save their life.
>Still GOD, dingus
There is nothing and there is no one who is greater tha God.
Therefore Jesus is not God.
>there is none good but one, that is God
Indeed, only God is good in the supreme sense. God's goodness is superior than Jesus'
>Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith.
>For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever.
this is literally a heresy THO
Based on this logic. Can't there also be 4 uncreated persons?
Don't the Orthodox and Protestants also affirm the Nicean creed? Like how did they manage to hide behind the Catholics and let them defend the trinity, while getting no flack, when they are all trinitarians?
How many gods are there?
Define "god"
You define god.
The Bible uses the word "god" in varying degrees and applies it to different characters
It basically means "mighty one" or "powerful one"
No it doesn't.
Are you a Muslim? This sounds like something a Muslim would say.
Wrong answer, heretic
Jesus himself said, "Is it not written in your law, Ye are gods?" (John 10:34) referring to Psalm 82:6–8.
God (theos in Greek / El in Hebrew) basically means powerful or mighty one.
the Bible can use the word 'god' to refer to humans (John 10:34,35), prophets (Exodus 7:1), false deities (Exodus 12:12), angels (Psalms 8:5) and even Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4)
The Bible refers to Jesus as a god but he is a god compared to humans, not because he is Almighty God himself.
Angels are also gods compared to humans for example, that is why they are called as such. They are divine beings, and thus lesser gods.
However there is no one else like the uncreated creator, Jehovah God alone is the Almighty (Psalms 83:18) and no one can reach his divinity as he is far above anything in existence, only He is Divine in the Supreme sense !
Watchtower Society added .1 shekels to your account
The Watchtower is a non profit corporation, it doesn't pay anyone since it doesn't earn any money
I'm a JW
>non profit corporation
Nice and non-taxable, more money for the anointed class
>it doesn't pay anyone since it doesn't earn any money
That's not how it works
>Nice and non-taxable, more money for the anointed class
We have no paid clergy, the anointed do not receive a salary for their religious work
>That's not how it works
Yes it is
>We have no paid clergy, the anointed do not receive a salary for their religious work
Officially*
We have no paid clergy whether it's officially or unofficially
>I'm a JW
The tetragrammaton is evolved from the concept of an egregor. The LORD is the subjective governing truth of the earth, as understood by Adam. EL is the objective divine truth of heaven.

>non profit corporation
Oh so it's definitely a scam then.
in accordance with the Nonprofit Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, U.S.A, by law it cannot be and it is not, a profit-making enterprise, nor do individuals make a profit through this Society.
