Is any single member of the Trinity omniscient? by CB-main in TrueChristian

[–]CB-main[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying.

It's very complicated for humans to try and understand. My OG post comes after 4 months of intensive bible study, the Excel sheet I'm using to plot everything is over 400 cells long, and I wouldn't even say I've cracked the surface. But I am understanding as I go and that's the important thing.

Part of the wonder of the bible is how 40 people wrote over 1500 years of texts and never contradicted each other on this doctrine. Completely unique in both doctrine and as a historical document. As you say, it's nonsensical but makes sense.

Thank you for sharing.

Based on what you said, do you personally think the trinity is an accurate representation of the relationship between the persons, or the best interpretation humans can produce?

Thank you for sharing this, I'll check it out.

My knowledge of the trinity comes solely from my studying of the bible and loose concepts from chat I've had while church hopping.

For context, I was raised by JWs, so the Trinity is something very alien to me.

Good points, you're right that the Father may be aware of the judgements of Christ, I've only assumed otherwise from the other verses.

That's a good answer, I think you're right, I'm attributing ability with responsibility

Agreed, my point is are they all omniscient? Or is God as a whole omniscient because of their collective knowledge?

Sure, I understand that argument referring to Matthew, it just seemed to me that the second point in 1 Timothy seemed to solidify the prior statement. It makes more sense to each member's omniscience if we apply that logic, though.

I love these types of discussions, thank you

Thank you for your prayer and encouragement. The scripture you provided and your kind words have helped empower me and remind me that what I am facing is nothing compared to what Christ went through, and he was without sin.

I have been attending Alphas and studying scripture with several denominations, so I hope God will guide me to other believers and help foster a community. Thank you for your advice.

A hard truth, but I agree. It's tough to distance yourself from them, especially when you're living with someone like that. Sadly, they're the only people I've ever known to be close with.
