God is Not Objective

On October 11, 2009, In Arguments Against Christianity, Christianity, Nature of God, Philosophy, By The Armchair Antichrist

I have already established in a previous post titled What is God? that theists don’t have an accurate and positive ontology of God. But do theists even mean the same thing when they talk about God? We will specifically look at the Christian conceptions of God:

Trinitarianism: God is one being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons: the Father, the Son (incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit.

Unitarianism: God is one being that has one personality and Jesus was the son of God, but not God himself

Binitarianism: God is composed of the Father and the Son as two distinct Gods. The Holy Spirit is not a God, but rather is the living power of God that flows/emanates between both the Father and the Son

There are also differing views within each of these three main versions of the Christian God and still more argument over the divinity of Jesus.

As you can see Christians have no objective conception of God. From Christian to Christian what each thinks God is may differ greatly. So Christians should stop assuming that the God they talk about is the only God that could possibly exist. You can’t even step outside Christianity to argue with other religions and atheists without first winning the argument about what kind of god the Christian God is.
