I'm a Unitarian, obviously, and believe that God is separate and distinct. I also follow Deist thinking regarding God. Like the old joke of the man in the flood, I think we take responsibility for ourselves. I agree with you when you say that God is unfathomable to humanity, and is a concept beyond expression. I see the holy spirit as the manifestation of God's power on Earth. It is not God, but a part of God. Jesus, to me, is a teacher and prophet, who has the potential to become the messiah if he returns to herald God's kingdom and to rule it. He is not yet the promised messiah as God's kingdom has not yet arrived. I do not accept his being raised to divinity was ever his intention whilst teaching, or within the message that he taught. In the end, we don't know and can only take our own learning and interpretation of the Bible as a guide. That result of that learning and interpretation is between us and God.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783055352523115895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136944325808208090.post-56391613915441776062010-08-27T12:40:53.746-07:002010-08-27T12:40:53.746-07:00A great biblical exposition of the Trinity, Ian, b...A great biblical exposition of the Trinity, Ian, but perhaps it might surprise you that this unbelief in the Trinity is the last thing that attracted me to Unitarianism. Quite frankly, I don't think it matters whether you believe it or not. Like Nogood Boyo in 'Under Milkwood' I am inclined to say: 'I don't know who's up there and I don't care'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136944325808208090.post-6723521170268546142010-08-27T10:20:55.349-07:002010-08-27T10:20:55.349-07:00I think the concept of the trinity was devised by ...I think the concept of the trinity was devised by the clerical hierarchy to enable GOD to be portrayed in a manner which could be embraced by common humanity.<br />In other words, JESUS was that part of the trinity to which people could relate to on a personal level, whereas GOD the Father was unapproachable and could only be reached through the medium of the SON.<br />The HOLY SPIRIT could be understood as that part of GOD which permeates all our lives.<br /><br />Personally, I think that TRINITY is confusing and prefer to hold to the idea of a divine unityRogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136944325808208090.post-15905676630168212472010-08-25T02:52:43.311-07:002010-08-25T02:52:43.311-07:00A clearly written explanation of the non-biblical ...A clearly written explanation of the non-biblical nature of the Trinity doctrine.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326358224522029847noreply@blogger.com
