Bible Question: I am trying to understand the Godhead Trinity. My question, is the Trinity one God but three persons, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, or is the Trinity, three separate Gods? |
Bible Answer: There are several ways to explain the Trinity and each one fails to accurately explain it 100 percent. Each of the member of the Godhead shares the same knowledge, power, ability, and authority. However, each member has a different function. The Father is the creator, and the judge. The Son is the savior, and husband of the Church. The Holy Spirit is the comforter and counsellor. Now .. All three are the same God. We serve one single God, not 3 of them. How such a union works is honestly beyond human understanding. All three members of the Godhead are one single God, yet all three are distinct from one another. The Closest I have ever come to explaining this is via looking at a corporate head. At the head of a corporation, you have the Chairman of the board. He doesn't deal with the day to day workings of the Company, but he is in most respects the owner. You have the CEO. He runs the Company, makes the business decisions and so forth. You also have the Chief of Operations. He makes sure the operational proceedures are running as they should. Together, these three make up the head of the company. However, each one is a separate entity within the Company. Now, there are obvious inconsistancies between comparing God to a Corporate head. However, no one can understand the nature and relationship of the Godhead 100 percent. I hope this helps, Jesusman |
