A itchy, stitchy thorny, but otherwise quite nice flower by the name of Thistle - even the floral emblem of Scotland and Lorraine, as well as the emblem of the Encyclopædia Britannica, and a medicinal plant to pharmacists - annoying weed to farmers, led with his private thesis „Jesus is a God“ funnily enough to a new word I learned:
„
Straw man fallacy". Great word. We don’t have it in Germany - well, we do actually, but it’s never used. A Stroh-man is rather referred to in lessons of fencing=Fechtsport, or a scarecrow (whilst crows don’t mind it). The word even in English, is used though in German Philosophical tracts - beyond my education-level ;-D
However. Let’s forever beware of the absolutely wrong and pagan word „A GOD" when referring to The Holy Trinity.
Let’s agree on Jesus’ doctrine or rather explanation and reference to the Holy Trinity like in John 14,26. Christ sending the Holy Spirit while being given all Power from the Father (Mt 28,18). These and many more biblical statements make very clear as to „Who“ in The Holy Trinity does or did what, when.
Though we got very many hints as to every Being within the Holy Trinity - like it’s Jesus Christ who will judge us before The Father - not The Father Himself, nor The Holy Spirit - but Jesus Christ will recognize or deny those HE judges, but judges „BEFORE MY FATHER" as Jesus told in Mt 10,33 -
Though we know this and many more revelations Christ gave as to God in the Holy Trinity; neither the Angels ever did, nor we ever will actually comprehend God, as God is and remains into all eternity incomprehensible to all creation. Match many statements in the Bible to this fact, match e.g.

But friends; let’s strictly beware of any arguing about God. God is God - period! God in The Most Holy Trinity as revealed to us by Jesus Christ.
The tragedy in all Christian forums is quarrelling. OK even the disciples argued in Mark 9,34. This arguing among Christians, finally led to an endless splitting of Churches - not just by Luther or Henry VIII, but even still continuing much later, so we now got a sheer countless number of Christian Churches. A disgrace, as Jesus founded but
ONE Church. If all had heeded Christ’s words in Mark 9,35: “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all” we still had but one Church.
But not only in this large scale, but even among us here - at home, among others or in forums; let’s be servant of others. Christ was, as our Pope demonstrates in doing as Jesus did - the footwashing - which Pope Francis even did in a prison.
Otherwise Pope Francis in many other ways demonstrates Christ’s love - e.g. by talking to all - sinners as good people alike.
So let’s try never to rebuke and reproach among Christian brethren, for we all will stand before Jesus Christ, and He must not be ashamed of us, as any father would be when his grown up children quarrell! Woe to us if He is ashamed - over people who considered themselves Model-Christians.
Yours
