    Nah that’s ok because Jesus is God anyway. But he’s also human and has suffered and died. Because he’s 100% God and 100% human at the same time. But is also son of God. And has existed forever, not created by God. Even though he’s not the same person as God. But actually is.

    Just trying to wrap my mind around Christianity

      Basically Greek Platonism, messianic Judaism and Roman culture had a three way and the result has been running Western culture for the last 2000+ years.

        Nobody cares about the Holy Ghost except when explaining Trinity.

        “… and the Holy Ghost”
        gives the same vibe as
        “… and Zoidberg”

      If God can be contained in a human being and one can be a “polytheist monotheist”, what other nonsense won’t you believe? 😕
