Pagan basis of the trinity.

Again:
The trikayan concept was known to Plato, who re-offered it at his Platonism. The Christian Trinity is based in full on the functionality of the Platonist Trinity although Platonism and the Christian theology are not identical. Therefore I evaluate the Christian Trinity as a meta-concept rooted on pagan beliefs
😵

I have no interest in Plato or Buddha. The only promise of salvation is
through Jesus the Christ. So it is Him that I believe and in Him I put
my trust. So you can take all your Budhism crap and shove it!

It has been explained to you guys before. You keep using circular reasoning
so it is doubtful if explaining it again will get through that thick skull of yours.
Your refusal to see God as a Trinity is your big stumbling block. Yahshua is
both man and God. Reread Philippians 2:5-11, which explains that although
Yahshua was God, He humbled Himself to bec ...[text shortened]... ngue should confess that
Yahshua is Lord. Yahshua is Lord, Yahshua is Lord, Yahshua is Lord!!!

For the second time I ask which you still are not answering: "Could you please explain these scriptures that show Jesus get's his authority from God?"

Again I will explain that while Jesus was on earth as a man and did perform the act of resurrecting ones who had died and after he assended to heaven as a spirit he was "given authority" to do judging and either giving or not giving life to ones that he judged.
If he was God and truly part of this godhead and being equal to the other two in this Godhead, why did he not already have this ability and power to judge and perform this ability to give life thru the resurrection process?
Why does it say he was "GIVEN the AUTHORITY" by God if he was already God??????????????

Yahshua already had authority which He exercised on earth before
His sacrificial death on the cross. He shared authority with the other
three persons of the Godhead. But after His resurrection He tells His
disciples, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
(Matthew 28:18-19 New American Standard Bible)

So If He meant for any single name to be used in the Baptism, then
it should be His name, for He is the one Who now has ALL Authority.
Paul seems to understand it this way.
And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling
the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.
And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus." (Acts 19:4-5 NASB)

I believe what I have written here. But I must decline your offer;
I only believe in the truth.

And there you go again. This is exactly why Gandhi said, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

I answered that question a long time ago with another post. If you had
been paying attention to me, then there would be no need to ask the
same question over and over. I think it would be a good exercise for
you to go back through all the threads and refresh your memory. I am
67 years old and have a much better memory than you guys seem to
demonstrate. I don't have the time or inclination to keep dealing with
the same idiotic questions over and over. So get your head out and
start thinking, then I would not call you an idiot.

You pontificate on and on, but provide no proof that my understanding
is wrong and yours is right. I am waiting............

I have reconsidered on providing background on this, as I believe it to be a fool's errand that you are going to willfully refuse to grasp. My time is more precious than that. If there are any others that were interested in where I was going with that, then fine...but it is my impression that most others saw background in the section of the Sermon I provided to be self-evident.

Okay then, would anyone else like to have a go at it?

Well I'm obviously not going to get an answer from you because you can't as it screws up the trinity. So I'll not go there again...... Have a great day!!!!!!

The trinity as adopted by Christianity is indeed of pagan origin and from a Christian viewpoint completely erroneous when considering the Godhead. The JW side-step interpretation of a Christian having of 2 'Saviours' is erroneous also.

The Christian Trinity is not only of pagan origin, but also it cannot be backed up by the Scripture

Feel free to put your trust wherever you want; treating the other just as you want to be treated and reading a book or two from times to times just for a change, methinks would do
