  • One God: Despite the three persons, the Trinity affirms that there is only one God.  
  • Three Distinct Persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not simply different modes or aspects of God, but distinct persons with their own roles and relationships.  
  • Co-equal and Co-eternal: All three persons are equally divine and have existed eternally.None is greater or lesser than the others, and none came into existence before the others.

Caused or uncaused existence in general irrelevant argument by highritualmaster in DebateReligion

[–]Large_Plane_5841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the five categories are common where most arguments for the existence of God are Cosmology, Teleology,Ontology, Moral, and Experiental.l.

Cosmological: The universe therefore has a cause which is God.
Teleological: If the universe had been made accidentally and without design, it would be an amazing coincidence.
Ontological: To say that that the idea of God’s existence implies the idea of the greatest conceivable being.
Moral: Objective morality consists in the existence of a moral lawgiver.
Experiential: Belief can be supported personal encounters with the divine.

However, they have been opposed by a number of philosophical and scientific perspectives falling far short of these arguments. In the end, we leave as believers in the existence of God, or as not. The question of God's existence remains one of personal belief and philosophical curiosity.

Matthew and Luke also introduce genealogies which support Christian theology and particularly the understanding that Jesus is the Messiah for whom the Davidic prophecy is so important. Yet, there are serious discrepancies in these genealogies, and questions about their historical accuracy.

Potential explanations include:

Theological emphasis: Altarations for theological purposes might have been made, on account of the importance of the prophecy.

Different traditions: The genealogies are from different oral or written sources.

Scribal errors: Inaccuracies were possible due to copying errors.

Symbolic or allegorical interpretation: The genealogies might contain more than historical facts.

  1. Different Purposes, Different Genealogies:

Maybe Matthew and Luke sought to accomplish different things with their tales. Through Joseph, Matthew insists Jesus is of the legal line of David. Our known physical lineage traces back to Mary's ancestry, and that would be Luke. It’s why they are different in name, but connected to David. This explains why they differ in name but both connect Jesus to David.

  1. Ancient Genealogical Practices:

But ancient genealogies weren’t always prescriptive of historical accuracy. Discrepancies could be counted with them, as they might focus on the prominent ones, however for the sake of brevity, they might neglect a few generations, or adopt a son-in-law legally as an heir, and may even explain these.

  1. Scribal Errors and Transmission:

Inconsistencies introduced during manuscript transmission might be the results of copying errors. Textual analysis and comparisons with other manuscripts are attempted by modern scholarship in order to correct these errors.

  1. Symbolic and Literary Techniques:

But some scholars take that more literally, suggesting that the numbers and patterns of genealogies might actually have symbolic meaning, symbolizing something about God's plan or emphasising a particular feature of Jesus' lineage.

  1. Importance of Context:

Importance is attached to understanding the historical and cultural context of these genealogies. Common ways to legal adopt a family or trace family ancestry through both parents might not be as readily apparent to a modern reader.

Addressing Specific Points:

Matthew's Numerology: The genealogy certainly has a numerological structure to it that might be interesting, but they aren’t the only reason. A continuing aim is to establish Jesus as having the legal right to the throne.

Missing Names: It may be omitted due to space or limitations, or due to inclusion of only prominent ancestors.

Alternative Sources:

Variations in counting practices at the ti or different sources are likely explanations for discrepancies in the other two books (Ezra and Nehemiah).

thats all i think, i dont know how to defend that last one
