The Trinity doctrine says God is three persons in one being.
Yet the Bible says God is one.
Gal 3.20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. NIV
Gal 3.20 Now a mediator is not for just one person, but God is one. Holman Christian Standard Bible
How do Trinitarians think this isn’t a contradiction?
or--none ?
Ah, an apophatic theologian
I smell a false dichotomy.
Sorry to hear that. Have you tried cleaning the fridge?
No, it's definitely this thread.
Unless you mean that god, one person, or three are three separate options, in which case the first option cannot be established to exist, and the second option leaves out a large number of people, but 'three' is definitely a thing.
Don’t pull that thread.
Pull my finger instead.
Do people still say that?
Trinitarians say there are three persons in one being, or three persons in one God. Although not all trinitarians agree on what word to apply the threeness to and what word to apply the oneness to.
The point from Galatians is that Paul apparently had no conception of “threeness” within God. He made the simple observation that a mediator requires more than one party, whereas God is only one. He had no idea of God being “three” in any sense, and assumed his readers had the same view.
Sorry for derailing. I do like fan fiction.
