1 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | Rom831 | 29525 | ||
This is a TOUGH subject. The Bible never uses the word and only speaks indirectly towards it. Churches have debated this for ages. My wife and I don't even agree on it. But here is the best explanation I have come up with on my belief. Think of God the father, Son and Holy Spirit as three 7s: 7 7 7 Each of these 7s are identical, you cannot tell them apart. They have the same characteristics - they are all 7s. But you can tell by looking at them, that they are indeed three separate 7s. They are indeed the same, yet they are each distinct. So are the Father, Son and Holy spirit. They are all God, yet they are separate. Again, this is my view. My wife and my church believe differently (They'd say there was only one "7" and it just appeared in different forms) but this is WAY confusing to me and ends up portraying a schitzo Jesus. But that is MY opinion. Why is it so important? To me, it really isn't except that you believe Jesus is God and not just a man, or even a perfect man. Either view of the trinity I listed still believes that they are all God. Yeah, that's as clear as mud... |

2 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | ethan | 29563 | ||
Bless you. but lets stick to the word 1john 5:7 these THREE are one. It means they talk, think, and act like one person. for how can two walk together unless they be agreed?. that means that this time on earth is for us to be taught to think like God act like God and even Speak like God. for at the end of our time if we havent run a good race and submitted to the ways of the Holy Spirit, how can we live with God for eternity if we dont agree with Him? Bless you | ||||||
3 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | Rom831 | 29568 | ||
Huh? First, I don't get what that has to do with the thread topic. Second, what you are saying sure sounds like works and a lot more "enlightenment" than is taught. I'm saved by my faith in Christ despite myself. I'll never think like, act like or speak like Christ. I'm a flawed sinner, He wasn't. I can never even fully comprehend God little lone pretend to be like Him. He's God, I'm not. Bless...ArtS |

4 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | Truthstudent | 29572 | ||
To me the trinity is a picture of an egg. The egg is one yet it has 3 parts. The shell, the yolk, and the white, just as the trinity is one but has 3 parts. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit | ||||||
5 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | Reformer Joe | 29585 | ||
And yet the Father is fully God, the Son is fully God, and the Holy Spirit is fully God, not "parts of God." To describe the Persons of the Trinity as a part of God does not mesh with Scripture. "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form," --Colossians 2:9 Any analogy in creation to describe the Triune nature of the creator falls short. |
