Fren, God is perfectly just also. You can think of him as High King and Judge. Do you feel justice is done when a criminal is set free with no punishment? It would not be very just right? Even if the victim has forgiven him, the crime still happened.
This is the concept of atonement, which you can read about in detail here, starting at "Vicarious Atonement" https://carm.org/doctrine-and-theology/substitutionary-atonement-of-jesus-christ/
Matt Slick is very logical and is glad to answer any further questions you have. I am glad to also!
But God can punish and serve justice as He wills on an individual basis lol. I don't see why He would need to sacrifice anything, anyone and frankly Himself in some weird transition to being human and asking Himself why he forsake Himself.
The trinity makes no sense to me. Never has.
He could punish and serve justice as He wills, but then he wouldn't be perfectly just right?
The posters above replied to most of your others questions here and I agree with them.
The Trinity is our best understanding of how God has revealed Himself to be 3 persons. This is consistent with the Jewish Torah. God said We (plural pronoun) will create Man in Our (plural) image. There are many examples in the Torah where the Messenger of the Lord (pre-incarnate Jesus) visits people and is treated as and worshipped as God. But that is a pretty deep theological conversation I can point you to some good resources on it if you're interested.
Why wouldn't that be just? "I am God. I judge all. End of story". By definition of the word "God" that fits as it should.
It seems most aren't even aware of the Trinity is. It was added 70 years after Jesus death and had nothing to do with him or his words lol. Nothing.
Rome created it.
We is a term to describe magnificence and more importantly, it's royal. In Islam Allah is reference with a "we" as well. This is not evidence of plurality lol
The queen of England referenced herself (singular) as "we" but it doesn't mean she's describing 3 entities. She's speaking as royalty.
I've seen all the resources brother. The point of questioning it was to make others think about how ridiculous it is to try and justify a 3-1 but 1 God.
A God that is subject to "spiritual laws" (another anon actually wrote that.
Whatever, it is what it is lol
Because if He judged all "just fine" you and I would know that God was a liar. He wouldn't be acting according to his own standard. God is perfect, therefore by definition He must judge accurately and fairly.
The word Trinity was created after the Bible was written but the concept is clearly outlined in scripture in multiple places. Jesus and many others including his followers and Romans recognized Him as the Son of God. Jesus directly claimed to be God and did not stop people from worshipping Him. Whereas Angels stop people from worshipping them.
There is no royal We in ancient Hebrew. It is not the same as Arabic or modern English sensibilities.
In my humble opinion you are putting God in a box. You expect God to operate and exist like humans do, as one spirit or one body. Christians believe God operates simultaneously as three persons who have eternally co existed. Because that is what He revealed to us.
