I wonder if that guy realizes he sounds like a muslim with his brainlet inability to grasp the concept of the trinity.
He is literally a Muslim
LEL
Oh no no no
This makes me sad
To be fair, it's called a mystery for a reason.
The difference is that we accept the "one God three persons" concept, despite our inability to understand it.
One
He does apologetics too lmao
Related to this, why are all muslim 'apologetics' like this?
wtf I'm muslim now
Someone should send him Shia images of Muhammad and friends and say "I thought images were forbidden in Islam, dude."
Three, but I have to say one or I get lynched.
...
I see a single Triune God
Nice, now read in the dictionary what heaven image means.
*Graven
I hate phoneposting
lol
muslims are heckin fools
MODALISTS BEGONE
Are you being retarded on purpose?
Must be an Andersonite.
Oh Patrick
I too can jump on a bandwagon.
Also go read Augustine's De Trinitate to understand why this is an error, probably should have stated that outright. It's dense stuff but it's also the most brilliant exegisis i've ever read and you really need it.
BURN HIM!
The most egregious of Augustine's theological speculations. Trash it and read St. Maximus and the Cappadocian Fathers instead.
Oi bruv, that's not Tawhid Oneness.
Thomas Jefferson was right, that entire island should have sunk into the ocean.
Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian. He'd probably agree with this guy.
Don't hate the truth boi, nobody elucidates the Trinity in scripture and smoothes out errors of it's interpretation better than him. Still, what of St. Maximus would you actually recommend; presumably his whole body of work is not on the Trinity. I see he did a biography on Our Lady which is bretty neat, how accurate is it generally regarded?
St. Maximus is thought of as a great synthesizer and therefore a holistic thinker, so it's difficult to pinpoint any particular work on the Trinity. With that being said, you should start with On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ then if you're still interested follow with Disputations with Pyrrhus, Free Choice in St. Maximus the Confessor (find a PDF) and Cosmic Liturgy.
I'm not acquainted with it.
every time

the eternal anglo strikes again
Doesn't St. Augustine say that the theophanies were basically just holograms?
the most prot post of all time
He argues that no man has seen the Father, and as such no man has seen the Son, at least not in spirit, or the Holy Spirit either. Therefore the theophanies in the OT, as Stephen the Protomartyr said, were simply angels.
He didnt said that, you're just giving your own interpretation to the book of acts
simply angels wouldnt attribute to them things exclusive to God, such as accepting worship. We see it clearly in book of revelations
So you're saying that the Fathers have, in fact, seen the Father?
pls forgive me brethren, i'm still pretty new to this and didn't realize that was a modalist meme.
no time like the present to read hippolytus's refutation of all heresies
I wasnt even talking about the father.
Anywho:
>And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, (Deut 34:10)
Moses worshiped the Angel of the Lord. If the theophanies were but angels then Moses was an idolater.
If you were talking about God you were talking about the Father; one cannot see one person of the Trinity face to face to the exclusion of the other.
No one, as Paul said, was truly pure of heart until the coming of Christ. None of them, as Christ said, could see God and live. That is why St. Stephen, who saw God at his death, said that it was an angel on in the burning bush and an angel at Mt. Sinai. I get the sense that you haven't actually read Augustine because he covers these points rather clearly, particularly that of Moses.
Was it latria though?
Abraham fell down at the feet of the three angels in Genesis as well, was he an idolater or were the messengers simply messengers?
lol, one of the three was the Angel of the Lord who was the only one Abraham was worshiping.
So did he worship an actual angel, or do you think Moses saw the Unincarnate Christ when Moses the Angel of the Lord said that he couldn't see God because it would kill him?
