>>19346081I can post up the verses where Christ clearly doesn't know the same things as God, or I can ask why was Jesus praying to Himself when He prays to God, or ask why is God sitting as His own right hand, but, it was when I was trying to understand *true love*, that I was guided away from the Trinity.
Anyone can die for someone. History is full of examples of men and women dying for total strangers. It is one thing to give your life for another, but could you sacrifice your son to save a stranger? I am sure that in the right situation you would die for someone else, but, could you ever ask your child to go and die for someone?
I am not impressed with the idea that God came to earth, overcame all temptation, and then died for us. Why not? He is God, who can stop Him? What I can't understand is this love that He had for us, where He would send His son, His greatest creation, to die for wretched creatures like us.
This is a true king. A true king will order his prince to go into battle, march at the front of the army, and defend their people and their kingdom, even at the cost of his life. A prince who is worthy to inherit the kingdom, must be willing to die for his people. Most kings and princes expect the people to die for them, but God sets a different example through the life of Christ, and I think the Trinity robs God of His true love for us.
It's easy to die for someone else, but I don't believe any man would ever sacrifice their beloved child to save unworthy people. It's a love that I cannot understand. I know that I could never ask my children to die for someone else. I do not posses the same power of love that God has demonstrated through Christ.
I can argue for the Trinity or against it, and make either argument look good, but true love and sacrifice is the reason why I am against it. I don't care if a Christian believes in the Trinity. Some of the best Christians in history were Trinitarians, and I have no desire to go to war with them
