Everything you said applies to God as One Being, existence from non-existence (from christian perspective Father Word and Spirit). I don't see the 'defined finite'. Maybe you meant the finiteness of Jesus. But this is also applicable to Jesus, who is the union of God and man without (con)fusion: this description is important exactly because of the philosophical reasoning you just gave. The human nature of Jesus did not become God and never was God: the human nature has been 'assumed' by God and assumed into the realm of God (taken up into heaven): the ultimate destination of mankind, without ever tranforming into God.


Malachi's response: John 1:14 says that the word became flesh, how can you separate the two natures? We see what Greek philosophy has done so that there occurred an apostasy from apostolic Christianity. Nothing you wrote above has ANY scriptures from the Hebrew Bible or GT to back it up. The doctrine of the Trinity has shown to be a man made doctrine invented in the 4th century.

Regards,
Malachi
