I have asked thousands of non-Catholic Trinitarians these questions and they all end up telling me they don't know, call me the devil, say I am blind, etc. Yet, they never seem to be able to answer such simple questions that every Trinitarian should be able to answer. So, I have come to the Catholic Trinitarians in hope that you may answer the questions I present, every single one of them. Thanks.
A trinitarian claim: In this one divine being there are three persons, father, son, and holy spirit.
How can each person (father, son, and holy spirit) be 100% one divine being when the one divine being are three persons? At most, each person would have to be 33.3% divine being. Therefore, neither of the persons of the holey trinity are 100% god.
What are the attributes of this one being, what are the attributes of each person, and what is the difference between being and person? It amazes me how trinitarians make up new definitions for words in order to make themselves think they do not have three gods. Most likely, trinitarians will say that this one being is Deity. Then what is Deity? They will probably start to say how someone who is Deity is omnipotent, omnipresent, etc, and that each of the persons of the trinity has these attributes. To which I ask what gives each of these persons their individuality if they all share the same attributes and are not separate beings? Also, what is the difference between modalism and trinitarianism (I ask this so trinitarians won't give modalistic answers to my questions)?
A trinitarian claim: The triune god is three persons.
Why then does the Bible state that god is one? That is, the god of the Bible is one [person] while the triune god is three [persons]. What else does it mean by god is one if it is not speaking about who many god is? It does not say one god, rather, it says god is one. There is a difference between saying one god and god is one.
A trinitarian claim: There is one god in three persons.
Who is god? The trinitarians say that god is the father, son, and holy spirit. To which I ask how is that they can say one god which there are three who are god? And, how can they say one god in three persons if god is the three persons? Some trinitarians will say that this is referring to god being a deity. To which I ask how can there be one deity if this deity is in three persons that are not each other unless the three persons are actually one person, and thus are each other? In other words, if there is one grape and three cups, how can that one grape be in three cups unless those three cups are actually one cup? If we divide the grape, it is no longer fully grape (or fully Deity/god), but now has become parts of a grape.
Since god is Deity, and god is in believers, what makes the believers not god also?
A trinitarian claim: Each person is omnipresent.
How is it that the three persons are not each other if one of them is where the other is? If one person is somewhere where the other is not, then how is it that all three persons are omnipresent?
A trinitarian claim: Only the son person was born of Mary.
If there is only one deity that is in the father, son, and holy spirit, how can the son be the only one who was born of Mary unless there are more than one deity? In other words, since there is only one divine being (triune god) and not three, the father and holy spirit also had to be born of Mary or are we to assume that the one divine being can be separated into three parts where each person has 33.3% of this divine being?
A trinitarian claim: The three persons are one god.
1st Corinthians 6:17 But the one joining himself to the lord is one spirit with him. John 4:24 god is spirit… John 17:11 …in order that they may be one, just as we are. 21 …You, Father, are in me, and I am in You, that they also may be in us. 22 …in order that they may be one just as we are one- 23 I in them and You in me, in order that they may be perfected into one… How is the Son in the Father different than we being in the Father? How is the Father in the Son different than the Father in us? We are one spirit with the lord, god is spirit. So, how is the Son one with the Father different than we being one with the Father? Notice in verse 5 that the Messiah speaks about before the world was, the flesh was not before the world was.
A trinitarian claim: The son person always had the same authority the father person had.
In Psalm 110:1, the prophecy reads YHVH says to my master: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." Christianity claims that this Psalm is about the Messiah. So, how can YHVH say this to the Messiah if the Messiah is already at the right hand of YHVH? If Uriyah is at the right hand of Bob, Bob cannot say to Uriyah "I will make you at my right hand" for Uriyah is already at the right hand of Bob. Now, for those of you who do not know, to be at right hand of god means to have the authority of god and/or to have access to the authority of god. So, how can the son always have had the same authority as the father person had if the father person said that he will allow the son person to have this authority for a period of time? Notice, the words until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. You can stay at my house until I tell you to leave. In 1st Corinthians 15:24-28, the Messiah gives back this authority.
A trinitarian claim: The god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the trinity.
Acts 3:13 The god of Abraham, the god of Isaac, and the god of Jacob, the god of our fathers-He glorified his child Yehoshua, whom you indeed handed-over and denied in the presence of Pilate-that one having determined to release him. According to Apostle Peter (the one who is speaking in verse 13), the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the god of our fathers is the Father, not a trinity. So, how can trinitarians claim such a thing that is against the Biblical teaching?
My questions for trinitarians:
Since you claim that the three persons are one divine being, how is it that when the father says something, the son and the holy spirit do not also speaking?
Since you claim that the three persons are one divine being, how is it that the father can have a different will than the son?
Since you claim that the three persons are one divine being, how is it that the father and the holy spirit did not also die on the cross/stake when the son died?
Since you claim that the three persons are one divine being, how is it that the son can be anointed with the holy spirit (Acts 10:38)?
Why didn't any of the Bible writers say in plain words "blessed be the trinity" and/or "blessed be the father, son, and holy spirit who are all god"?
Why didn't any of the Bible writers say in plain words "blessed be god the son" and/or "blessed be the only true god, the son"?
Why didn't any of the Bible writers say in plain words "blessed be god the holy spirit" and/or "blessed be the only true god, the holy spirit"?
Why didn't any of the Bible writers say in plain words "the son is both man and god in one person"?
When you pray, do you pray to all three persons, and do you ever wonder if the persons discuss among each other what you pray about?
When you worship, do you worship all three persons, and do you ever wonder if the persons get jealous that you might worship one of the persons more than the other?
When you praise, do you praise all three persons, and do you ever wonder if the persons get jealous that you might praise one of the persons more than the other?
When you show honor, do you show honor to all three persons the same, and do you ever wonder if the persons get jealous that you might show more honor to one of them than the other?
When you think about god, do you think about the three persons or just one or two of them?
When you are referring to god, do you say "they are great" or "he is great"? If you say "he", which of the persons are you referring to?
When you read the Bible, and it talks about god as a "he", which person is it referring to?
