...Have a problem with the concept of a Godhead as triune is that they think one dimensionally.
Originally posted by josephwIf G-d is really transcedental, all scriptures would merely point to this entity and nobody could offer descriptions about its nature.

If a scripture describes G-d's nature partly or in whole, then the G-d whose nature is described is not transcedental.
The Trinity Doctrine fails simply because G-d is by definition transcedental: Any not transcedent ...[text shortened]... n if hermeneutically the doctrine is backed up, it is merely a non-justified religious axiom

Why do you think God has to be transcedental to be God?
Besides, that's not what my opening post was going to be about. I had to go suddenly and was unable to fully develop the idea I had. Now what was that...

As I was trying to say in the opening post,..
All of creation has God's fingerprint on it. In 3's. It is how one needs to view the scriptures as revealing the nature of God.
Consider time. Past, present and future. Or matter. Solid, liquid or gas. And space. Height, depth and width. Or the atom. And man. Created in the image of God. Body, soul and spirit.

Three is a Magic Number - Bob Dorough
Three is a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
Somewhere in the ancient mystic trinity
You get three
As a magic number
The past and the present and the future,
Faith, and hope, and charity,
The heart, the brain and the body,
Will give you three,
Its a magic number
It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand,
It takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
And every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less,
You dont have to guess
When it's three
ou can see
It's a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby
Yes they did
They had three in the family
And that's a magic number
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30
Now multiply backwards from 3 times 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
And 3 times 3 is 9
And 3 times 2 is 6
And 3 times 1 is 3 of course
(now dig the pattern once more!)
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30
Oh yeah
Now multiply backwards from 3 times 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
And 3 times 3 is 9
And 3 times 2 is 6
And 3 times 1 is 3
What is it?
3
Yeah
That's a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby
Yes they did
They had three in the family
That's a magic number
Originally posted by josephwNo, I don't define a non-entity; I said that any known entity is an observer and that G-d is not an observer, hence it cannot be properly said that G-d exists. Of course, this is not a problem at all if we accept that G-d is transcedental.
Sir, you are giving definition to a non-entity. 😵
God is known. Not perfectly. How would that be possible except by a being of equal qualities? But He is known, and can be known. Transcendence notwithstanding.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a [b]sound mind. (italics mine)[/b]
