No, he was praying to the Father. The fact that there is one God does not diminish the fact that God is three distinct Persons by virtue of their relationship to each other. He is not the Father who is the Son and he is not the Son who is the Father. They are distinct in relationship and one in Being or substance.
When you leave out the distinct Persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit it does not make sense. There is no different God. There is only one God.
With all due respect, that hardly makes much sense either. What you described sounds like multiple personality disorder. I know those are your beliefs and that is wonderful, but what you just said is just a neater way of saying what dronald did. And dronald acknowledged at the very end the one God detail.
What is it exactly that doesn’t make sense to you?
I’m sorry that you cannot grasp the concept. How is a Father communicating with his Son a multiple personality disorder?
The concept has been grasped. The fact still remains that three beings are one being. You can call this persons in a divinity, but its still a logical inconsistency of magnificent proportions.
Monotheists assert a one truth and that they have it. They therefore to mental backflips to maintain this concept
Heresy-Commonly refers to a doctrinal belief held in opposition to the recognized standards of an established system of thought. Theologically it means an opinion at variance with the authorized teachings of any church, notably the Christian, and especially when this promotes separation from the main body of faithful believers.
A heresy to OTHER Christians just pointing that out. It’s like when I work at the zoo and point out to a child that he must look weird to a hermit crab too.
IMO…monotheists have the greatest grasp on reality than any others.
IMO… nonphysical reality is reached for by everyone but its like a Rorschach test everyone sees it differently. But only a true egotist goes around telling everyone else they’re wrong for seeing a bunny rather than a butterfly.
So, do you see the bunny and I the butterfly, or do you see the butterfly and I see the bunny?
I see a bunny I think.
Do you think the little boy was an egotist for pointing out to the Emperor that he was actually butt naked, and not parading around in sartorial finery like he thought?
ah ha ha ha…
Are you asserting that God cant be 2 persons or for that matter 3 at the same time and still be God?
You have misstated the Christian position. We do not believe that three beings are one being. Learn the difference between the Church’s definition of “Person” as opposed to “Being”. These are philosophical terms and are used differently than in modern language. And why would anyone be surprised that we cannot understand the infinite with a finite mind?
We are speaking of a divine Being, not a human being. God is incorporeal. It would be impossible for a corporeal being to be composed of three persons. But not a divine Being who is by nature, above creation and not subject to the laws of created nature. We cannot limit God’s nature to what makes sense to the human mind. He is above us in every way.
The difference here being that we did not arrive at this conclusion on our own. The Trinity is a divinely revealed truth, not one arrived at through human endeavor. We only seek to understand what has been revealed and no human words will ever adequately explain such a mystery. Yet we believe it because of the One who revealed it.
Come on, knock it off. The Trinity, IMO, has an allusion in nature. Siamese Twins. You have two persons in one body. When one person speaks to the other, they aren’t speaking to themself. So Christ can speak/pray to the Father as a separate person, while being in the same body of the Godhead.
