Logic and Common Sense (Trinitarian and Oneness Doctrine)

The bible says in Matthew 12:32:
“Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But whoever speaks against the holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.”
Trinitarian and Oneness doctrine says that Jesus is God and the holy Spirit is God (though their explanation varies). If Jesus is God and the holy Spirit is God, why is speaking against Jesus, who they say is God, a sin that can be forgiven, but speaking against the holy Spirit, who they say is God, is a sin that can never be forgiven?

If we are to believe the Trinity and Oneness teaching, it actually should read, “If we blaspheme God it is a forgivable sin, but if we blaspheme God is not forgivable.”

The way Oneness and Trinitarians explain their doctrine - that if this were to be explained to the average person on the street - they would say these people are ripe for the insane asylum. Only when conversing about “theology” do people get away with talking like they are insane, with “nonsensical language” that defies what God has given us – that is - the capability to exercise logic and reasoning that most professed Christians hope we would abandon!

“God is not the author of confusion…” (1 Cor. 14:33).

Let me give one more of MANY examples.  In Acts 10:38 it says:
"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, he went around doing good and healing everyone who was oppressed by the devil."
Oneness and Trinitarians would have:
  • God anointing himself, 
  • by himself, 
  • who is himself!
In other words, have "faith" in the Trinitarian and Oneness advocates and never mind using our common sense!

I just has a brother (Frank Licary) write to me saying:
In fact, the Athanasian [Creed] paradox that one is three, and three but one, is so incomprehensible to the human mind, that no candid man can say he has any idea of it, and how can he believe what presents no idea? He who thinks he does, only deceives himself. He proves, also, that man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities… With such persons gullibility (which they call faith) takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck.
 I believe that was quoting Thomas Jefferson.  And what is interesting is why go through all the headache of trying to explain something they call "incomprehensible," trying to get people to "understand" what they say no human mind can comprehend? Like Frank says, one must "surrender his reason" and just accept what they say is true, something they can't even comprehend themselves and yet try to explain it??
