I don't think many people realize how much they've been turned into a bunch of casually cynical jerks.

Someone may come to their parents and say "I want to write a book" and their parents will say "it's really hard to get published".

Someone might confide in their sibling and say "I want to sell my art on "x" platform" and that sibling will say "do you know how many people you'd be competing with? Do you know how many shops are even on that platform?"

I know a kid who once told his best friend "I think I wanna start a dnd podcast" and the friend was like "do you know what the word "oversaturation" means?"

Personally, I don't know why any of that matters? And even if it did, perhaps your response should be "Do it! Do it and see where it goes!"

Unfortunately, someone who rejects who Jesus Christ says he is is *not* believing in him and Scripture.

I see and trust that your faith is important to you, and that you are pursuing God from the right place, but denying the trinity remains a heresy, in spite of your church teaching it as fact!! And as much as I am one who always says that I don’t know but hope God will have grace for those who didn’t understand but wanted to, the BEST thing for anyone is to embrace the FULL TRUTH. The Word was with God and the Word was God, and Jesus is the Word made flesh!

If you are a Christian, that means putting your full faith in Christ and his power: with God and as God.

I would love you to look at the history of the Trinity as a concept. It only occurred - what, 300 years in, from memory? And it was laughed out of countenance when first suggested. I don't have sources for this currently but I read it once.

The concept of the Trinity itself does not make logical sense. How can God be multiple persons? Do we not believe in one God? A man cannot be his own father, he can only be like him. We have one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. If he's somehow God, that falls through. The point is that he's a man like us, but without sin. If he's just a piece of God (forgive my clumsy phrasing), that makes his sacrifice far less meaningful, and empties the cross of Christ of its power.

God bless you, anon.
