Never mind to my previous questions. You're going to need a large chunk of updating regarding "Form" in the Aristotelian-Thomistic sense.

We all do that but my suggestion is the Holy Ghost is leading you.

The only "sense" that I'm getting from your posts, is the whiff of pompous ass...

How do I know that I'm not being led by the "forces of evil"?

That's a tough one on the face of it, but consider how insignificant you are.
Where did we come from and where are we going?
Here's a question for you, who and what are the forces of evil?

In other words it is necessary to listen to what the Holy Ghost is saying.
I'm speaking for myself not you in this regard but you can join me.

If God is not eternal, then this means he came into existence. But if he came into existence then this means he created himself, which is a self-defeating assertion.

You don't, which is why you need to read and study the Word of God. The Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light to your path (Ps 119:105).

What I meant was...who can speak with certainty about the "triune" nature of God?

Here's what I find amusing, Boxcar:
Everyone sees the benefit of being a "contrarian" when it comes to matters of finance. But when it comes to matters of the soul...the vast majority of the people get in the same line with a billion+ other people...as if religion is some sort of "popularity contest". When I see a billion+ people getting in the same line...then I can be pretty sure that this line isn't destined for the real heaven. And I know this because some real smart guy once said that the path to heaven is narrow...and the travelers are few.

Yes, and wide, very wide is the path that leads to destruction; and many are those who travel on it. You, sir, are the one traveling on that very popular and crowded road.
You need to get off it before it's too late.

It's simple dishonesty to take some of it and not all of it.
I for one am not that cute.
Unless you think you are God?
