1 | Need to understand the Trinity... | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71380 | ||
I see that your reasoning is quite useful to a certain point, but I would like to challenge you with one more question. You said that God is not a God of confusion and we can understand the Trinity because God wants to reveal Himself to us properly, right? So, the question is: "Peter himself wrote in his letter that there were many things that are hard to understand, only in what Paul wrote (2 Peter 3.16). Therefore, would you dare to say publicly on this christian site that you fully understand the mystery of the Trinity? Let me tell you something. Many illustrations have been given in the history of the Church and nobody pretended to understand fully the Trinity. So...who are we to say that we could fully? | ||||||
2 | Need to understand the Trinity... | Bible general Archive 1 | rferg | 71444 | ||
Hello I'm not a history buff but I have been a christian a long time and could not find the answer that made any sense to me. But I have studied this subject for a very long time and I prayed and asked God to help me understand Him. So I could love something and someone who was real to me and that I knew had a plan for me and loved me. I have a limited education and it takes me a long time to understand. This is when one night I recieved this word picture. I took a piece of paper and drew a line at the top of the left side I wrote (earthly family) at he right side I wrote (heavenly famil) things unfolded from their. After I wrote Abba Father -God, Jesus Son of -God and Holy Spirit of -God they were on top of each other and I could see that God was like our last name and then I realized God was a family. Things unraveled from there and still are. I don't know why God Showed me this. But I have been asking for a long time. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened, ask and you shall recieve. It has bothered me for years that know one could explain this to me. Most Pastor's use the Jesus when they should be using the Father's name and viceversa. In my heart I feel it is a clear message I can share with others so they can believe in a real God and when they read their bible for themselves they can understand it and thirst for more of it. God Bless! |

Therefore, as I see you are a sincere chistian, I will suggest to you a very good book to read on the subject. It is written by one of the best theologians in the world, Dr. Millard J. Erickson, and the book is entitled: "Making Sense of the Trinity: Three crucial questions". You could find it on the website of CBD (Christian Books Distributor), in Peabody, Mass. So I invite you to go on Google and type CBD or "CBD christian library" and you will be on the right place to find it. So, let us keep in touch concerning that. God bless you and make you a blessing.
