Accusing you of what, polytheism? Do you prefer tritheism? That is precisely what you believe. You believe in three completely separate, coequal, divine beings, which is the definition of tritheism.
Do not misrepresent others' positions. I have never said that nor would I. I told you that Jesus, the Son, is a divine person HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE, for instance.
From the same article:
Human person is always being. You don’t believe Jesus is a being like we are. So you don’t believe he’s a human person like we are. What’s the problem with you. That’s the truth or show what is lie here.
Moving the goalposts, I see. Jesus is fully and truly human, just as he is fully and truly God. I have always stated that.
So you just now yourself confirmed that I really believe in Jesus as a divine person and you don’t because you don’t believe what I believe.
The Catholic’s teach that the two natures are joined but not mixed.
For clarity, the eternal Son is a divine person; Jesus is the Son who became flesh and is both truly man and truly God. That's what Scripture teaches.
No, I’m just fixing grammatical errors to make the meaning clear. Truly human and not a separate being… That’s trinitarianism in all it’s ambiguity and irrationality.
human person is a being separate from other humans. Do you believe Jesus while he was in a flash was a separate being?
He was a divine person became flesh and dwelling among us. A person like we are.
No. Jesus's divine nature is what it is and never changes. So, it could never be said that he is a separate being from the Father (and the Holy Spirit); he is one in Being with the Father. There is one God and he is a tri-personal being.
That makes sense, although his human nature still had its own will.
fact. Worthy to mention that you’ve just broken Athanasian creed stating ‘yet there are not three eternal beings but one’ and hence, according to it, you cannot be saved. Glory to God he doesn’t judge according to human seemingly biblical writings.
fact. Yahweh God the Father is that only true God
That’s very sad, really. Read the gospels carefully and you’ll clearly see three divine beings: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and no one other divine. Pay attention to the OT passages where Yahweh addresses Jesus with word US or ‘says Yahweh to my Adonai’ of ‘you are my Son today I’ve begotten you’ and you’ll perhaps believe that there is only one true God but three divine beings: Yahweh God the Father, Jesus Adonai the Son and the Holy Spirit. Believe in the Father and in the Son please, this and not Athanasian, or any other, creed is necessary to enter life.
Could you please quote some verse from the gospels depicting that tri-personal being speaking or acting in some other way.
The idea that God uniting Himself with human nature could actually cause a struggle or challenge for Him is unreasonable.
Mat 3:16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;
How, exactly, is that unreasonable? If God came in human flesh as the atoning sacrifice for the salvation of humans and become an advocate and mediator between God and man, meaning he had to truly live the human experience but be without blemish, how should we expect him to be?
It would be like Andre the Giant in a wresting match with pee wee Herman.
On what basis can you make that claim though? It seems like you’re not really thinking through what I provided nor what the gospels tell us about Jesus, but just sticking to at least one unsupported assumption.
