The Trinitarian dilema

[Scott Pitta]

The Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

1 Jn. 4:14


That works for me.

Yea but if their co existent then the death of Jesus even for 3 days shows that to be not possible, because I can prove from scripture that this was not at a point in time.

But they do believe in 3 God's also. If they are co eternal how can one be the Father? That whole concept is off, it has too many holes to hold water. But I never saw it from that angle you presented.

One apologist(?) on the John Ankerberg show said that God can do anything including dying. I could not believe that John Ankerberg let this go without comment. This was in response to quoted Islamic/Muslim statements that God is eternal and cannot die. Many if not most Trinitarians find some way to explain that God is eternal and cannot die.
