Yes I have noticed your thread about the trinity.
Quote:A Muslim (or a Jew) on another forum asked me the same question just recently. Here's the reply I gave...
The Son of God became the Son of Man so that the sons of men may become sons of God.
Jesus Christ paid a debt He didn't owe because humanity owed a debt it couldn't pay.
I know the Cross is repugnant to Jews & Muslims but for Christians it's the ultimate act of charity - God's INFINITE love towards us.
God's greatest work is not creation... but redemption!
Is it important to be a son of God? If yes - why?
Does not God accept us if we are not sons of God?
I think it is unfair that humanity owes a debt they did not get or commited themselves.
The cross is to me torture on an innocent person. Only because God Himself cannot forgive? Strange truly. Sorry that is not love to me.
It is anyway not for God to have shortcomings, since He is Perfect and not being able to forgive Himself is one shortcoming. As I see it.
Well if we have not creation we cannot have anything else either as I see it. So creation seems to be in focus. Without that - nothing.
