I told you that I can address each and every argument you have (as I have seen them all), but I wanted to do it one at a time. I addressed the first argument you had. Refuted it with concrete biblical evidence. But instead of giving me a rebuttal, you started in with other arguments.
If you want to have a debate about this, then by all means, I'm ready and willing. Let's take it one step at a time, and deal with each argument first.
BTW, It appears that you are just copying and pasting from a website. While that's fine and dandy, let's stick with one argument at a time. I can throw out a billion biblical arguments, but chances are you wouldn't read them, and you certainly wouldn't respond to each and everyone of them.
Did you want to address my rebuttal to your first argument, or do want to move to the next (if you don't have a rebuttal)?
what rebuttal? your rebuttal doesn't prove anything, how does
"ALONE" mean one person? i use the same logic and say to you, how does "I" and "YOU" refer to the same person? as with your rebuttal to superman, omipresence wouldn't do diddley, if Jesus was omnipresence than He still would have used "I" and not make the distinction of "I" and His father "YOU". you can run but you can't hide, you can use all the semantic shifts you want to, but common sense defeats your logic.
You asked where the Bible declares that only one person makes up God. I gave you solid scripture supporting this.
Again, "You ALONE are the LORD "
Could you (as a trinitarian) walk up to the Father and say, "You alone are Lord" (knowing full well, that you believe that two other persons are also LORD)?
that is amusing! Jesus minus would call His Father "YOU" alone are God (ONE PERSON), this would exclude Him (Jesus) from being God since He uses "I" to distinguish Himself from His Father "YOU"
Can you answer the question?
First of all functioning as different persons is not limited by definition to separate and unique entities totally apart from one another. So in the same way that I legitimately have different personalities, i.e., am a different person with respect to when I am functioning as a brother, father, friend, employee, resident and can legitmately and truthfully say that I alone am googles; so God has different personalities with respect to functioning as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and can legitmately and truthfully say that He alone is God. Also, Scripture often refers to Jesus Christ in His humanity wherein He refers to God the Father, His Father, as if He, Jesus Christ is operating solely out of His humanity, not utilizing His Diety. This is entirely legitimate as you can logically see.
If this is the way you see God (one person, operating in different functions) Just as I am a Husband, Brother, and Worker (Each function distinct from one another, yet I'm one person). That is not the traditional doctrine of the trinity.
If this is truly what you believe, you are not Trinitarian.
The trinity theory is that there is one God that exists in 3 eternally distinct "persons". These 3 eternally distinct "persons" are co-equal, co-eternal, and have always existed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, throughout eternity. Each "person" within the "Godhead" is 100% God, all by themselves, yet each "person" is not the other (completely distinct from one another).
Since the trinity is not biblically based, there are many variations (above is accepted as the actual trinity doctrine by most trinitarian proponents [including CRI]). Some trinitarians borderline on tritheism, which is downright polytheism.
I've met many people that thought they were trinitarian, then went on to explain God. Turns out they weren't trinitarian at all. And if you really believe what you just typed, then you are not trinitarian.
