Understanding the Trinity (?)
So in my head Jesus === God === Holy Spirit... The only reason humans in 3 dimensions perceive this in a "triune" fashion is for the same reason we could poke our finger through a 2d world and they'd see magic, draw ourselves in their reality and they'd see "us" but not in our full 3d nature. But someone mentioned that's "partialism"? Vs the water analogy being modalism... A question that came to my mind was about whether or not Jesus lived "forever" (the same way God is/does/has) like people talk about how Moses saw the burning bush and it was Jesus, or there's a few other sort of unnamed characters in the OT stories that we could say are Jesus but we won't really know till we die. If Jesus is eternal then it makes sense he's a projection of a 4d (or any higher dimension) God into our 3d reality... Interesting not sure if/how relevant to my question/rhetoric this is? https://youtube.com/shorts/XoGU4_o18sU?si=4xKXFyM5TKam2Ygi I'm less intrigued / distracted by other religions because if the Bible is truth then God is Logic, and if God reveals himself to us then we CAN understand God in so much as he's revealed himself to us. Not that we can ever become God but that he's not unintelligible to us. Esp in that we are created in his image we should have some capacity that is like God (as we are to the animals) but we just don't know everything (or really much of anything in the grand scheme) πŸ˜…

Maybe it's less of a question and more of a rant? I'm finding a number of things frustrating lately and I'm not sure how to properly articulate. The Trinity seems to be a topic that just trips so many people up... I'm explaining my understanding first to ensure I'm not committing some heresy on accident. But also secondarily in an attempt to perhaps more accurately distill some version of an understanding of the Trinity that could better help us Christians explain it to other religions that don't understand our concepts? Not that it's my place but it just feels like it trips everyone up and we end up in meta conversations trying to define terms instead of communicating any real understanding. The video is a depiction of my point about Christians just adding to the confusion? Is he describing a Trinity or a Monotheistic God. Is God Triune or Not? Are these even valid questions? Lastly I feel like so many Christians use the excuse of God is Omni-everything so we can't possibly understand him. But I don't agree with this framing used as an excuse to NOT explain the Trinity or other difficult concepts.
What is Worship?
If option C, then what the heck is going on during Sunday service? Why does THAT (however it's performed) get the elevated title of Worship? And if option B, then shouldn't we all be required or pressured by everyone around us to participate? I'm so tired of looking around and seeing all the Men who "don't/can't sing" sit/stand with their arms crossed while the Women who made them show up demonstrate their vibratos for the poor unseeming souls sitting in front of them πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Why can't we properly define either what PROPER worship looks like or stop calling whatever it is we do on Sunday what it is (a concert). Even just a concert for Jesus. Lets go to the CCM show this Sunday. Not, "let's all lift our hands in Worship"? Or someone please share with me what I MUST be misunderstanding.

Real Life Mormon Apologetics Opportunity
I know this is last minute, it's last minute for me, as well. There is an LDS church on Hillsboro Pike having an Interfaith Easter Celebration. This could be an opportunity to go, stand on the sidewalk, and try to witness to Mormons. If you come to this event you do not have to talk to anyone. You can just observe. You can also come when you want, leave when you want. I am imaging 6:30-9:30 would be the max commitment. 4304 Hillsboro Pike Nashville, TN 37215 Friday, Mar 27, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM If you're interested, please respond in the poll below and i will reach out to you. https://local.churchofjesuschrist.org/en/units/us/tn/nashville-tennessee-stake/events/interfaith-easter-celebration
