Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

[TheLightWithin]

Theosis doesn't happen.

If I understand correctly, Theosis means becoming more like G-d in a sense.
So - non trinitarians do not become more holy regardless of anything else?
What about the other Abrahamic religions which are very strict about straightforward simple monotheism?

Yep. I withdrew it ... might repost.

Please do, I'm curious now.
Maybe it's a concept that needs its own thread?

Me being short-tempered and outspoken – the temperature is soaring here (for a Brit) – bear with an old man!

Yikes the temperature is soaring here too - it happens in the Northeast, but gag and gasp, hard to breathe outside.

I believe there are demons.

As far as I understand, Jesus hated major sin and hypocrisy .. and not people.

All sin!

We do not find the word Trinity in the Bible, for me it is a way to understand how God can be three persons... "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" concept = idea.

The word Trinity is not in the bible but the concept is there. People that have issues with the Holy Spirit being God fail to recognize that He is just the most recently revealed via the New Testament. Many other things were revealed with the New Testament why not third person of the Godhead.

For many, anything that complicates pure monotheism seems to get in the way of pure monotheism.

There you go again. Where do you see the word "monotheism" in the Bible? Not just the concept. The actual word "monotheism"? If the word is not there, then why do you think that the Bible teaches monotheism?

People use the absence of the word "Trinity" in the Bible as an argument against calling what the Bible says about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit "the Trinity." Is the absence of the word "monotheism" an argument against calling what the Bible sayx about God "monotheism"?
