I hope I can be forgiven making a comment. I'll not respond to individual posts, for I know I have no right to debate in this thread. But would like to say something for informational purposes that some of you may wish to think about. You see, one of the things I see happening is that assumptions are made regarding things that Christians believe regarding the Trinity that are not what Christians really believe. Often those assumptions aren't even stated in the posts. But when a person who holds those assumptions tries to educate others regarding the Trintiy they have those mistaken assumptions in their own mind when they beginning the process of analyzing, challenging, and submitting the Trinity to logic. Ultimately they reach conclusions which are posted in this thread. But if the assumptions are wrong to begin with, then those posts aren't really about the Trinity (or at least not what Christians mean by it), but something else that is not a part of our theology.
Disprove it, call it shirk, continue your discussion without correction from us Christians, but what you are disproving and calling shirk would not be the Christian Trinity, but only a stawman version of it created by those who apparently have no real knowledge of the Trinity.
So, you can knock it down, and knock it down pretty easily (I know I would certainly join with you in wanting to knock down some of the things that are being presented as if they were the Trinity here). But for all the posts (and even wisdom) this thread contains, unless you are actually discussing the concepts with regard to the Trinity that Christians actually hold to, you aren't discussing the genuine article, but the strawman others have created in its place.
