1 | Explain Trinity Father Son, Holy Ghost | Is 1:1 | halroy | 199586 | ||
Thanks for the welcome, Doc, In seeking to understand how three Persons can be One, I find it handy for my weak mind - I am no scholar - to consider that my own existence seems to entail three...modes, if you want to use the term. However, I ascribe no modes of subordination or derivation to the Godhead based on this. The image of myself produced by my Kodak comes much closer to revealing the essence of my existence, than whatever image my existence reveals to me of the essence of God. It was not meant as an analogy, but just a dim perception of comparison not intended as a basis for doctrine. My beliefs are very conservative, and, I am sure, orthodox. I agree with your caution. may god bless you, halroy |

Hello A dear old lady I know, when asked by myself to explain the Trinity replied 'Its an egg'. With some trepidation I asked her to explain further , her reply was ' an eggs an egg and it cannot be anything else.' Having to plead ignorance to what she meant she says 'you accept an egg as being an egg. accept God in the same way. An egg is the yolk, the white and the shell, three components forming one overall object. God is the same in terms of Father, Son and Holy Spirit'. This picture shows perfectly how 3 things can exist as one and had no basis on doctrine, theology or the Bible and is always the image I visualise when I get bogged down with the concept |
