Equation Of One God Without Partners - abu-salih - 07-02-2004
Equation of One God without partners
Father = 1.0 Son = 1.0 Holy Spirit =1.0
{total} = 3.0
Even if we use the Christian mathematical equation of "trinity", it does not add up.
The Christian's technique of addition is that {Father}& {Son} & {Holy Spirit} are all "equal" and therefore 1.0
Yet the Bible gives us a different equation for the numerical value of Jesus.
Jesus admits "..my Father is greater than I", {John 14:28} This subtracts a Decimal {-0.1}
"I can of mine own self do nothing...," {John 5:30} This subtracts another decimal {-0.1}
At this point, Jesus in no longer a complete 1.0 but now a {0.8}
Now the list of figures are {Father} =1.0 {Jesus} = 0.8 and {Holy Spirit} = 1.0, Bringing the Total to {2.8}
Reading and depending on the Bible, there is a "quantity" that is overlooked by Christians which has clear value in this equation.
Jesus was baptized because He had to fulfill the legal requirements for entering into the priesthood like Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Heb. 5:8-10;6:20)
Melchizedek has no beginning and no end, no Mother and no Father {Hebrew 7:3}, now that is what I call an immaculate conception!
First, Jesus sought to be a High Priest like Melchizedek.
Second, Melchizedek had a more Miraculous birth, without a "mother" or "father", with no beginning or end, although Melchizedek clearly worshiped 1 God so we will give Melchizedek a value of {0.9}
Now the total according to the Bible and Christian belief is
{Father} =1.0 {Jesus} = 0.8 {Holy Spirit} = 1.0 and {Melchizedek} = 0.9
Bringing the Total to {3.7}
There are more variables which we can add for example Genesis 32:24-30 Jacob wrestles with God. God can not win against Jacob.
This information would make Jacob a {1.1} the Father would remains at {1.0} since through out the Bible, Isaiah 43:10-11,Deuteronomy 4:39, Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah44:6, Isaiah45:6, Isaiah 45:22, Exodus 20:3, Exodus 34:14, the Bible "Clearly" States that God is {1.0}
"For there is One God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus", (I Timothy 2:5).
Of course I am not that good in math, there is a form of advanced mathematics in Christianity that I just can't comprehend, that is the "changing variables" Which means, at one point in the Bible, God is given a quantity and then later on that quantity is either subtracted from or added to or in other words, "fluctuating values".
For example:
God is given the value and quantity of "Never sleeping",
(Psalm 121:4): "Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." And Yet according to trinity then Jesus is supposed to have this "Equal" power but "Jesus sleeps"
How can Jesus be 100% Equal if he worshipped God as any other mortal (Luke 5:16):
"And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed."
Jesus was tempted by Satan for forty days (Luke 4:1-13) but in James 1:13 is said: "...for God cannot be tempted with evil.."
I am confused, If the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are "Equal", why doesn't the Bible "consistently" say they are equal instead of giving them and "others" changing values.
I think I will refer to the "Teachers Edition" to get the answers to this complicated question "
"O people of the book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was [no more or less than] a messenger of Allah, and His word, which he bestowed upon Mary, and a spirit preceding from Him: so believe in Allah and his messengers.
Say not "Three": desist!, it is better for you, for Allah is one God, Glory be to Him, Far exalted is He above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and the earth. And enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs." Qur'an (4):171.
Now it all makes sense, the Qur'an clarified what the Bible is saying. I would be going against the Bible itself if I had "unsupported inconsistent faith in trinity" because the Bible says: "For God is not the Author of confusion, but of peace.." (I Corinthians 14:33).
