a small problem with the trinity

[path_of_one]

I just wanted to thank Gatekeeper and Thomas for two excellent, well-thought-out and well-written posts. I will be pondering them on the commuter train... Food for thought.

Many use that term as an insult, so I was making sure Z didn't view it as such - I am a hippy at heart, so I myself have been on the insult side of the term.

i am sure jesus was a hippy too, so we are all in the same club . it certainly seams like a wave running through history since the ice age even.

Jesus said that who ever was ashamed of Him was not worthy of Him. This is a problem that I have run into before - Some might confess Jesus as Lord, but they fail to see His loving kindness, and our charge to be like He was.

I think it's the whole love thing that gets some to be ashamed. Many view it to be a weak spirit, and something TO be ashamed of. I suppose I could care less what 'some' think of me, tho - [I am] a Love dove, and a Love dove I shall remain.


James a.k.a "Happy Heretical Hippy", err - Love dove

please be patient i am trying to get my head around abrahamic religions.

i don’t understand the trinity, so i ask this with all respect; if it is problematic having god the son that is god the father who ‘gave’ mary the mother the son? in human terms he would have made his own mother pregnant with himself?

so how does it work; presuming this is not the case?

I am equally confused by the trinity.
