As someone commented under this post on Facebook:
By saying Jesus was “part Divine” & “part man”, you create a huge problem for yourself.
Did God die then? The Christian says “No, only the man died”.
But, on the same hand, “a man dying” isn’t good enough for them for remission of sins, the need a “divine man”.
The Christian can’t even explain his own position without contradicting himself somewhere…and, an explanation is not a proof, as I just showed you.
You explained HOW your theory works, & I showed you WHY it can’t be the case ; an explanation is not a proof.

What can be more contradictory than a god who cannot enter the creation of his own making, yet who is all powerful.
Worse still, muslims claim that god is unknowable, yet claim with absolute certainty that god cannot be triune. The problem is that your god’s oneness is only an attribute and attributes do not reveal who or what your god is.

Not only Tolstoi doesn’t understand the trinity.
“Christ, according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the Holy Ghost third. Each of these persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten–just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say, before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. So it is declared that the Father is God, and the Son and the Holy Ghost God, and these three Gods make one God. According to the celestial multiplication table, once one is three, and three time one is one, and according to heavenly subtraction if we take two from three, three are left. The addition is equally peculiar: if we add two to one we have but one. Each one equal to himself and to the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.”

Jesus did things that the OT says only God can do.
Jesus walked on the water, only God walks on the water. “He alone stretches out the heavens

So now the question is faith. If you have FAITH. What kind of faith and faith in what? Faith in yourself? That just leads to disaster. Faith in God? Yes absolutely, faith in God leads to miraculous things. As Peter demonstrated he had faith but then lost it, he failed and had to call on Jesus to save him.
Jesus on the other hand walked on water on his own. by his own will by his own power because he is God, where as men like Peter try to do things on their own and with out God they fail.

This presumes Jesus was God. If strong faith is all it takes, then Jesus was able to walk on water due to simply being strong in faith.

My response: No it does not “presume” instead it PROVES since 1. Only God walks on water. 2. Only Jesus walked on water. 3 It was by the “command” of Jesus, and faith in him that Peter was able to attempt to walk on water and it was demonstrated that a loss in faith in Christ meant that Peter started to sink like a stone and had to call out “LORD SAVE ME”.

…and…
“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! -then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism [Islam], that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

you seem a bit confused. The topic is consistency – can you supply a major contemporary mathematician/ logician who supports the consistency of the trinitarian philosophy?

You’d have to show me some evidence that Godel was qualified to assess the theological and doctrinal merits of islam, or even that he had done any meaningful study of the faith.
This is a clear example of how islam rots the brain and makes muslims easily lead and gullible. Just as you follow the guidance of expert clerics into suicide bombings, you follow any authority as long as they seem to support your irrational religion. Stop looking for the experts to tell you what to think and start thinking for yourself.
My guess is that you copy-pasted that quote from some islam apologist site, but didn’t bother checking the wikipedia page it was taken from. If you did, you would have read that Godel read his bible every night – not the quran – and believed in a personal god, not the unattainable, transcendent god of islam.
Try again, but this time, do yourself a favour and think before you type.
Eid al Mubarak and have a nice day.

Can you show any evidence that any of these authorities have studied islam in any depth? Or can read arabic?
Surprise: No.
Like I said, think before you type – not everyone is as gullible as the muslims you are used to preaching to.
And, it is a measure of islam’s lack of substance that you have to look to atheist to provide the logic and reasoning for you. LOL!!!

“Jesus on the other hand walked on water on his own. by his own will *by his own power*because he is God, where as men like Peter try to do things on their own and with out God they fail.”

I don’t understand how He could simply speak and create the universe. (As God, He hasn’t seen fit to explain it to me, yet.) I don’t understand how the physical universe emerged from Spirit. I don’t get how our local thermonuclear reactor warps time and space and fuses 200,000,000 tons of hydrogen per second while its light warms our oceans and feeds Juno as it flirts with Jupiter one half billion miles away with enough energy to run its equipment for the next 2 years, taking 43 minutes to arrive.

That’s right says
Jesus is “a human being who had both natures divine and human.”
You seem terribly confused. Jesus’ “being a human” is identical to “his human nature”.
Or is there anything else HUMAN in “Jesus the human being” apart from his human nature?
You are saying Jesus is a human being who had a divine nature. Orthodox? LOL.

Thats right says:
“AGAIN we DO not divide the natures.”
Really? Only if you have to come up with another creative fairytale. In fact you do it ALL the time.
“But of that day and hour no one knows neither the angels in heaven nor the Son but only the Father.’ We are not to think that the Son of God as he is God did not know the day or hour but only that his human nature did not know it because his divine nature had not chosen to reveal it to his human nature.”

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form. And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.…
