A Alternative Godhead View.
 

I understand that Classical Trinity doctrine isn't correct neither,are doctrines like Unitarism and such. However some of the Oneness definitions of the Godhead still leave some explaining to do and some of them are a bit radical in the way they are worded.

Is there a alternative Godhead view that is more correct than both The Trinity and Oneness views,and should someone maybe be seeking to find a more Biblical view,or at least use more Biblical terms in defining who God is ?

As for me I believe in One indivisible God who is plural in attributes but singular in being and all of the fullness of divinity lives in Jesus Christ.

oneness-trinity hibryd. i'm working out the details.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

I believe 'Jesus loves me'. A child can understand this.
Jesus is not a 'trickster'. He is not seeking to fool me or cause me to fail and fall. He is the one who caught me 'from' my fall when the devil/that old trickster was dragging me away to hell. Jesus is not easily fooled, He knows my heart. It was He who called me....by HIS NAME. I am His, and the devil cannot hold me, man can not confuse me and can no longer cause me to stumble with tricky and deceptive words. He won the battle. He won my battle. He did. No man or devil can take away what belongs to Jesus.

what?

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

I'm here. I have most of the details worked out, however. :) The Hebraic concept of "one" lays the foundation for my beliefs.

What he said....

I've been wondering if it's just me, or do fewer and fewer people actually type in English these days? Maybe typing in tongues is for real and I should pray for the gift of interpretation!

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

God does not have 'many-heads'. The many-headed beast is man.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Ok, well it should be said that God is multi-dimensional "in my house there are many rooms," but also that after you have figured out, what you have just said about multi-headed is true, in a sense, in that one is one, and after that are offices, descriptions of manifestations, what you will. Getting lost in the details, not that the Trinity isn't a pretty manifestational detail. Don't forget to include, in your hybrid, that no man can intelligentify God into any quanta, k?

It's like that Navajo code, have a few Wind Talkers around here.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Amen!!! (Why don't they have an "amen" smilie...") LOL!

But yes, I don't see the Trinity, nor do I really see all the Oneness either.

Houston.... Hybrid .... sounds kinda like where I'm at too...

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Lol, actually it is the only way that will not adhere to our current way of thinking, if you see what I mean; our collective symbols are not adequate, and so anything illuminating is going to appear...like that. Speaking in tongues, and you then have to test it for yourself.

God's nonsense is better than man's sense here.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

But you're making NO SENSE. None. At all.

be nice

I try so hard..but sometimes I just can't help but fail.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Jesus said who God was..John 17:3..that they might know YOU {looking up to heaven while praying] the only true God..what is it about the word only do we not get?

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

The fact that the pseudo-Islamic doctrine of only-human-Jesus denies His deity, as He Himself said He was and is the I AM (John 8:24). Jude declares Him to be our God and Savior (Jude 23), and Isaiah declared that only God was the Savior (Isaiah 43:10-12). So, in line with this, Jesus was God manifested in flesh (1Timothy 3:16). So, please, leave your pseudo-Islamic beliefs out of this.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

And I stand behind every word, lol.
Maybe not sense, to you? What makes no sense? Prolly I can translate.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

That.

Who said anything about multi-headed anything until you did. And what does it refer to/relate to/have to do with? What does "in my house are many rooms" have to do with the Godhead? Intelligentify? Quanta? Yes, I know what you mean by these words...but why use them on a discussion forum?? (and is intelligentify even a word?)

I have absolutely no idea what your second post is about. What is the only way that it will not adhere to our current way of thinking? Our collective symbols are not adequate? ???????

The last post actually seems coherent.

As far as I know I am welcomed to post here as well as you.Why not just ignore my posts? :yourock

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Um, actually, I was quting the "multi-headed" ref, you can see it back there...

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Actually, I can't. Which is why I'm asking you what you were referring to. If you could quote it for me, it might help.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

exactly the same thing that "multi-headed" does, I was agreeing, while pointing out that for doctrinal purposes there is only One concept, in three that we need grasp, but that experientially God will manifest countless dimensions?

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

To illuminate the impossibility of reducing God to any formula, any quantification, if you will, hybrid or otherwise.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

I believe if you check "intelligentify" on Google in several hours, you will find that it now is : )

Our collective symbols are not adequate, as long as Armageddon is some future event that will occur before eternity can begin for the majority of believers, no.

Wow... this got weird in a hurry.

bump

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Yeah. And I'm still not sure how....

I give up. lol

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

I'm curious how it compares to the conclusion of most Oneness/Trinitarian discussions you've experienced?

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

um

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Now THAT is funny...

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

A Oneness-Trinitarian hybrid would be Dualtarianism (the belief that there are two people in the Godhead). I know that there is an actual term for that, however I do not remember it right now.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

That's definitely not the conclusion I've reached. :) IIRC, dualism is the word you're looking for.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

I thought that was what it might be, but I did not want to get my philosophy and theology switched.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

"Lawyer," maybe? : )

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Lol, a word to the wise, then.

Re: A Alternative Godhead View.
 

Both models of God, rather...dare I say ALL models of attempting to describe God, will inevitably leave multiple questions unanswered. They will leave "holes" that cannot be filled satisfactorily.

That is because as bbyrd I believe was trying to say, God is beyond human description or quantification. We are doing our best to figure God out, but the reality is that He is beyond our comprehension. Our attempts are like ants trying to understand trigonometry.
