Bible Question: I went to church every week as a child. However, I just recently returned to the church as an adult. I find myself baffled with questions I never considered as a child. As a child, I do not remember hearing the concept of trinity. I just really do not understand it. If God and Jesus were one-why does it say Jesus prayed to his father? Do some christians believe that they are seperate-a father and a son? |
Bible Answer: I have heard some good analogies. If I were an ant, how could I explain to another ant what it meant to be a human. How can you or I comprehend what God is like. So much seems contridictory. 1 Cor 2:10-16. Think of God like a tree. The Father is the roots. Jesus is the trunk, the only visible part. The spirit is like the sap, coming from the father, through the son to the branches which are us. When we are attached to Jesus, the spirit causes us to bear much fruit. John 15, Rom 11. Yet, how can they be three distinct personalities? They are, and yet one. Greentwiga |
