I don't know, it just seems like all this is trying to stratify a divine force that's supposed to be the master of truth, and therefore is allowed to make itself and the truth mutable. The opposing argument is: who are we to define god? We don't get discern what it is or what it can do. We aren't designed for that. We are just a bunch of dumb primates, aren't we? A couple weeks ago I lost one set of keys, but later found them by luck. I just spent the last few hours being anxious about stupid problems from yesterday. So this is a finite and limited state I find myself in, in the primate body, with the primate brain. And with this in mind, how am I expected to pinpoint the exact nuances of the trinity? Or know precisely what I should know or have faith in, in order to be 'saved,' whatever that means? It's like.. people don't even have their ducks in a row down here. Who are you going to trust then, to elaborate on all the divine platitudes
"Who are we to define God?" The Christian faith comes from the Jewish faith. Jews (even rabbis) are screaming at each other at the top of their lungs, waving their hands frantically, endlessly debating the finer points of the religion. Yet, when Nazis tortured them to death in concentration camps, their religion was strong enough to endure (til the end, that is), and some went without food to make sure that the more fragile kids would have enough to eat, and their bare bones showed just how hungry these heroes were. As it turns out, arguing about the bible, and questioning everything, actually strengthened their faith (didn't destroy it, nor did it destroy the faith of others around them). Of course, it could be argued that one's religious beliefs are so frail that one must torture to death others in order to defend your own religion (hence Nazis, and hence early Christians who tortured scientists who had dared to talk science which threatened their version (the human version) of religion. For example, when a scientist speculated that meteors fall from the sky, this was against church doctrine (that the heavens are God's domain, and are, therefore, perfect), and that it is blasphemy to say that meteors fall from God's perfect heavens (aka sky).
Multiple Gods to define: There are a myriad of religions, and unless you insist that they are all pagan, all wrong, all evil, and all ridiculous, you must find out how your God stacks up to their God. Noting that ancient Jews were polytheistic, and that "some human" (perhaps with divine guidance) rewrote their religion, omitting the concept of multiple Gods, we have to ask if that new bible is correct. If we don't understand who all those Gods are, we
might pick the wrong religion and incur the wrath of the real (or most powerful, or most wrathful) God. Some Christians writhe on the floor and babble in tongues (supposedly God's language), and they supposedly are in communication with God. Noting that they might writhe on the floor, babble, then get up and say that they had a conversation with God, himself, and now can state, with authority, that Jonah lived in a whale, and, in the same sentence they can call other religions pagan or silly. It is a matter of seeing the splinter in the eye of our neighbor and not seeing the log in our own eye. Most religions have elements of seemingly silliness, and sometimes that "babble" turns out to be right. It would be rather difficult to argue against the idea that Revelation quite correctly predicted the war in Iraq that God ordrered us not to make (and the economic and health problems that God would bring down if Iraq was attacked,such as Revelation 15: (seven plagues).
