Trinity? Suuuure – I know all about those things!
I’ve always been interested in not only what intellectuals think about the Trinity, but also about what ordinary Christians think. Thus, this is an interesting find – five helpful wikites step in to wiki-answer the following important questions:
WikiAnswers – What is the trinity and could you be a Christian and not believe in the trinity
I’ll save you some trouble, distilling the answers down into 80-proof folk-wisdom, taking the second question first.
So, Can you be a Christian and not believe in the Trinity?
- yes
- yes
- blah blah blah sexism blah
- yes
- no – and don’t be a cultist
Now, for the first, tougher question: What is the Trinity?
- three aspects or roles of the one God
- something concocted at Nicea, which is optional
- God’s three personalities, which the sexist pigs conspired to keep all-male. And all of ’em are Jesus. Plus the Egyptians thought of it first.
- Dunno, but in all the Bible only the spurious 1 John 5:7 teaches it.
- Dunno, but it’s really important, and is how God has revealed himself to be in the Bible. And people who deny it deny the deity of Jesus.
Part of the reason I started this site is so that googlers might stumble upon something more accurate than this sort of pooled ignorance.
At least this is sporting some artwork now. It’ll come up second if you google “Trinity”. But I’d be careful with it – our theologian Dr. Nick Riviera up there has had his hands in certain parts!
