      I like InspiringPhilosophy videos. He made a good point there that the trinity can be compared to the higher dimensions. It's hard for us to comprehend for example the 5th dimension but it can exist.

      >there's no subordination
      Well that's just unbiblical. The "subordinationism" of Arianism is ontological, meaning the Son is of a subordinate substance. This is not relevant to the relations of the Godhead, which concerns how the persons of the trinity interact. The bible says that the Father sent the Son into the world; the Father gave the Son a command, and the Son obeyed, and this before He took on flesh.

We recognize the monotheistic nature of the LORD while also recognizing that he is 3 distinct persons in one trinitarian God. They do not contradict eachother, and they are one.

    Jesus is God and coequal in substance to the Father but subservient to the Father as the author has stated. Even in the book of mark it is written:

    35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared:

    “‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
    until I put your enemies
    under your feet.”’[h]

    37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”

    The large crowd listened to him with delight.

    This indicates Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity because it indicates Jesus is Lord in relation to the other Lord the Father.

      This is just such an utter stretch when we have passages like "the Father is greater than I", and "I did not come on my own initiative, only because it was the will of the Father". Ect. Etc.

        It's not in contradiction because as the author in the OP pic states, the Son submits to the Father's will but share the same nature. Christ is under God's authority doing His Father's will within the Holy Trinity.

          I understand the statement but it's logicless. It would be like saying the worship of the Olympic gods would not be polytheism If they got married. Besides, there's nothing in the Bible to indicate that the OP image is correct. That is called a rationalization to try to make a theology work when the word does not present it.

          Like Jesus said. He did not come on his own initiative, but only did the will of the Father. He says he only does the will of the Father. He does not indicate that he is God at all beyond these statement about his relationship with the father.

      There is no Holy Trinity, so the prophet cannot be part of that wich does not exist. You have made up your own words, your own understandings that are not of God.

            Well there was a lot of disagreement in the church even during Paul's time. In fact he even states none of the Asia Minor churches acknowledged him. Of course the winning narrative had their writings preserved. Justin Martyr and erinas and all them of course wrote about Jesus being God. I did mention this. Where are the ratings from those who disagreed? Those who were on the opposing end of these letters? Those were not preserved for good reason. They did not win the narrative. But this is why scripture is so important. We have to go with scripture not what people said 100 years after Jesus and more.

            We have to use logic and critical thinking. God said come let us reason together. He gave us these gifts for a reason. If Jesus wanted to state that he was God, he could have done so very clearly so nobody could misconstrue it. But instead all we have is subservience and deflection of praise that belongs to God. There was no way that he would leave this in the word without crystal clarity on him actually being God in the flesh.

            Here in John 1 it states:

            1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. 4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

            Yes, like I said the Gospel of John, which came many decades after Mark and Matthew, is the first time we get the idea that Jesus might be God. It's a bit schizophrenic though because it also says the opposite at times. Regardless, The point stands at Matthew and Mark were the original Gospels and give knowing indication of this Godhood. Obviously John was written because the debate had developed since Mark and Matthew were written. Or perhaps it has been manipulated.

            Mark and Matthew we're good enough for every Christian for many decades. We do not need anything more than them. Especially things that contradict Jesus in those gospels.

            This isn't a contradiction because Jesus is the Son part of the trinity. As the author of the text states, Christ is under God's authority, doing His Father's will.

            So is the Father, so is God, we are looking for consistency.

            In order to know the truth, one must test the truth against itself, if it is inconsistent with itself then it is not truth.

            So if the Son is God, how can Simon say that God is the father of the Son.

            I absolutely despise this doctrine because it confuses those who believe in it, and God is not the author of confusion according to 1 Corinthians.

            Because as the author explains, God the Father is the source from which the trinity emanates. God the Father is the Fountainhead and thus has a similar relationship to a real-life father and son. The Father is the fountainhead from which the Son emerges just as your genes have emerged from the genes of your father.

            Last attempt, cause we are nearing a stalemate.

            I understand the relations as explained, what i am asking is why Simon contradicts this explanation.

            Simon says: You are the Son of God.

            Now according the trinity, the Son is God, but the Son is the son of the Father who is God. So going by the trinity, Simon is basically saying; You are God the son of God.

            It is not congruent with the trinity teaching and it makes no sense. If you dont understand its fine i'll drop for today and go do something else, its late anyway.

    The fact is there isn't a Trinity written about in the scripture. Jesus is subservient to the Father, And reroutes all praise meant for him to him. Though the very early church said Jesus was God. People like Justin Martyr. But, you just have to go with scripture. The very first gospels Christians had were Mark and Matthew. And in these gospels, Jesus did not think it important enough to even mention something that might remotely present him as God. Any of these pre-Gospel of John Christians would look at you like you were an alien if you told them Jesus was God.

    If Jesus was God, he would have made that crystal clear like he made it clear he was subservient to the Father. You could easily have made it clear. I could think of hundreds of different ways to make it very clear that he is in fact God. Jesus chose not to. This being an extremely basic fundamental of trinitarian Christianity, it makes no sense for him to have never directly and crystal clearly said such a thing. But instead to consistently and constantly show only his subservience to the Father. As the Bible states, God is not the author of confusion. If Jesus was in fact God, he would have been stating it in a very confusing way.

      There's even less citation for the Holy spirit's relationship, so it's much better debunked through Jesus's declared relationship with the Father.

      That's a really beautiful explanation. It also coincides with filioque because as the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and Son, love proceeds from the lover and the beloved. In this scenario, the Holy Spirit would be love as a person.
