The Trinity is the manmade Doctrine that tries to explain the mystery
of the Godhood. The term Trinity is not found anywhere in the
scripture, though the term Godhood is found throughout, and usually
shortened to the term we refer to as God. The Godhood is a mystery
that
is hard to understand since He is beyond our capability to conceive
of
His totality or even a small part of His being, except as He showed
Himself to us. He has made himself known through various
pre-incarnation revelations known as theophanies, the carnate
revelation through Jesus, and the post-carnate in the person of the
Holy Spirit.

The Godhood is not some kind of a timemachine, for He exist outside
of
time, where there would be no need for a timemachine such as even
clocks. They would be meaningless. There would be no time to go back
in, or forward in, or jump around in. This would be impossible for us
to understand, since we are creatures of time, we would cease to
exist
as we know ourselves because everything we know about ourselves is
based on time.

Now obviously we got into deep water real fast, and that just from
talking about the simple question about the Death Penalty. So
evidently
there is no simple question, and more than likely the answers are
even
more difficult to ascertain. In fact when you deal with the Godhood,
you are dealing with some of the deepest questions, with which man
can
even conceive. The Godhood is beyond time, beyond all the mysteries
of
the whole universe, probably at the very edge of mans ability even to
ask questions.

This is indeed exciting! TnT


A slight correction, I meant Godhead, when I was saying Godhood. TnT

Hm. Isn't Godhead big with the Mormons? The basic deal is that god the
father, his son jesus christ , and the holy spirit are three distinct
personages, with both the father and the son having physical bodies.

It seems to me a lot of time would be saved by all simply by acknowledging
that in dealing with mythology you just take the story as told and not worry
so much that it make perfect sense.
