SK,
Your first three posts have been general replies, which means readers don't know who you are replying to or quoting unless they search backwards through the thread. Also the poster you are replying to will not know that he/she has a reply.
Please use the little green reply button at the bottom right of the post you are replying to. It also helps visitors to follow the discussion.
Thanks
AdminPD

    Accurate Quoting
    SK, please pay attention to who you attribute quotes to. You attributed a quote to "Trinity" that I believe was actually Faith's comment and earlier attributed quotes to Faith that were not hers.
    I suggest you edit Message 51 and correct the error and note the change.
    There is a "Practice Makes Perfect" forum which will allow you to familiarize yourself with the EvC software and layout. You will find the link in the purple signature block below.
    Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.
    Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour timeout.
    Thank you Purple

    Warning - Topic
    Just a strong general reminder to participants that this thread is about understanding what the Trinity is. The originator had some very specific questions in Message 1 in trying to understand the doctrine of the Trinity.
    1) Does each of these three persons have a seperate free will and consciousness? Do they each have a seperate soul?
    2) If the three each have a seperate consciosness, then is there a fourth wich is the collective consciosuness of the three? Is there a collective person that is the three persons combined?
    3) Does God exist in the trinity simply because that is the way it is or did God chose to be a trinity?
    4) Was God always a trinity or did God become a Trinity at one point?
    I assume that if 3 is choice and 4 is became that means God could make decisions across time.
    5) Does each member of the trinity have a specific purpose that was there since eternity past?
    Such as
    1. The Father creates.
    2. The Son redeems.
    3. The holy spirit sanctifies.
    This thread is not about whether the Trinity is a viable doctrine or not. If you don't believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, you should not be participating in this discussion.
    Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.
