God is one of three and three in one?

1=God=A
1=Jesus=B
1=Holy Ghost=C

A+B+C=1+1+1=1??

Your common example: Water exists in three forms, solid, liquid and gas.

It is in a different physical state YES, but the basic composition remains the same, two molecules of Hydrogen and one molecule of Oxygen - H20. God and Holy Ghost are spirits but Jesus was a man flesh & bones (according to the Bible). So they are NOT the same then. Any answers?

And if any one of these three were to be polluted, wouldn't ALL three get polluted? if you added color to the water, the ice cubes would be colored too. Any answers?

Don't ask me to to 'just believe' because its too late for that. Islam demands that we ask these questions.

Also, how is it that word 'trinity' does not appear in the bible? Did you know that is found in the Qur'an atleast three times?

They are useless. You can never expect miracles.
Let's say you have dick cancer. No matter how much you pray you will still die if it's incurable. Or let's say you prayed for a promotion.
Lets say you got it, but your Boss is a Muslim. What will God have to do with this? Did he direct the Muslim to promote you? Then where is freedom of choice? If God interprets with other people's action/thought, than there is no freedom of choice, isn't it?
So yeah, prayers are a bunch of bullshit, it's only a mere of coincidence. You get something, its God. You don't, it's God great plan for you. So yeah, think about it superstitious morons, and the real truth will unfold to you.

Are there any types of exorcism that are based in something besides the Christian-type religions? If so has anyone been involved in one and what happened?

Because I'm not. I wouldn't even classify myself as being a good person, i haven't lived a very good life. I've done a lot of drugs, stole, lied a lot, and i have been a hore. I'm 36 and i am trying to turn over a new leaf. But I have hurt a lot of people and hurt myself a lot too. I can honestly swear to God that I would take back all the evil **** i've done if i could and start over and do it right, earn what i get, wait for the right woman, you know. But right now i am earning what i get, but i can't make up for all the things i took that hurt people, and if the right woman did come along i couldn't even be with her because of all the baggage i have from all the wrong women i screwed up with and left me feeling stupid and dirty.I know i love jesus with all my heart, but i can't say i'm so sure he loves me yet. I wouldn't love me if i was him. How do i get past this?

or Do you have a Personal Ideal ? Can the Same God or Ideal appear differently for different ones ? Are you 100% loyal to your personal God or Ideal ? as for me, Sri Sathya Sai Baba is my personal God, and regarding loyalty, i am not quite sure how much i am.

I was at the beach today alone and I saw some weird figure in the water. I had the impression that someone was drowning so I jumped into the water but there was no one there anymore, I was about 10 meters from the land and I looked back at the beach and I saw a figure in gray robe and some kind of light directed to him from the sky! I couldn't believe it and as soon as I started swimming towards the beach the figure dissapeared!

Here I am again, Back to my old tricks, will I ever learn. anyway here goes
Christians say that the Big Bang Theory is false because of the creation of something from nothing. Yet isn’t this what God is about? Isn’t he something from nothing? If we are to believe that he created everything and that something is from something, then God is from something. How could he be formed from himself? And what about the miracle atoms that God is made from, what created them?
Have fun and please don't be offended,T hanks again to everyone who takes the time to answer me seriously

Christians have an idol of the Lord Jesus in every church. I know that idolatry is condenmed in the Bible too. So, why do Christians prefer to have an idol of Jesus Christ when it goes against the very essence of the Christian faith?

No one-liners please!

The Bible has all these verses about how if you ask for something in the name of Jesus, it will be given to you and how God will give us what we want if we ask and how he wants to help us.

My significant other is suffering with lupus, the organ-threatening type. He lives each day in constant pain and currently walks with a cane. He is 26 years old and still forced to hold down a job so he can keep his insurance, and is toughing it through school at the same time. He could die at any time if his immune system decides that some vital organ is a threat and attacks it. He also has a five-year-old daughter who relies on him for support (his wife left him when the baby was a week old; he's not her biological parent).

There are countless people praying for him, in accordance with exactly what the Bible says. So where is his healing? Did God lie? Why doesn't the Bible explain this? It just says ask for it in my name and it will be given. But it's not.

There's been some articles on studies done on persons Born Again and speaking in tongues. The studies show that the individuals aren't experiencing mental breakdowns or personality disorders that may result in hearing voices.

Two items of interest is that none of the test subjects spoke any known language, which was explained that they were speaking the language of the angels. But, when the Apostles received the Holy Spirit and spoke tongues, it was for a purpose, to spread God's Word to many nations, all with different languages.

The other item of interest was that the test subjects were not using the language centers of the human brain. You would assume, that regardless of what language they would be speaking, they would be using the language center of the brain, unless they were speaking gibberish.

I imagine someone has an explanation, but it seems to me that in everything, God uses what is available. Wouldn't he also use that portion of the brain meant for languages?

Is it people who are faithful to him? Is it that he likes some people better than others? Is it as a display of power for unbelievers? Really, what are the criteria that God sets to perform miracles?

I'm not asking this out of spite. If anything, it's out of desperation. I've seen people on here talk about their or others' healings performed by God, and the one I love is suffering with an incurable chronic disease and lives in constant pain and fatigue. Why isn't he worthy of a miracle?

I am just tired of all religions of all types pointing fingers at each other. I would like to propose a religion built on the foundation of all religions that all could follow, unity and balance. Religion is meant to unite us, not to divide us. I want us to realize that we are united because we are all individuals. The truth can be found only when all truths are examined, the fine lining is there. I call it weism. Of course, it would have to be a religion that can't be preverted by "deaf mutes." End the war, let's take religion back to its roots and make it the way is is supposed to be.

A Mormon friend of mine just went into the seminary, and I don't know if I should write him letters while he's there or not. He's infatuated with me, but I can't make him understand why a New Age type bohemian wouldn't be happy in a Mormon community. I'm not even sexually attracted to the guy, and it hurts him.

What with seminary and the actual mission, he'll be away for years. I don't want him to think I don't care about him, but I also REALLY want him to have time to get over me. Should I write letters or not?

I feel like I have to send at least one, because I have to tell him (yet again) that I'm not attracted to him that way and ant him to move on while he is doing his religious stuff.

At this point, what should I do?

Help me out here, I'm confused? Since the name "Jesus" is a mistranslation from a mistaken Greek translation, and his proper Hebrew name in Aramaic was "Yeshua" does he know to whom the prayers are for? Since the name Jesus has no actual meaning or point of historical reference wouldn't praying to Joe, Sam, Leroy or Billy Bob be just as effective? And since nobody knew what the actual Yeshua looked like, although he was reported to be a typical jewish male of the time. Doesn't the modern depiction of the long haired somewhat androgenous white European looking Jesus add more confusion to an effective spiritual connection? And multiply that with the fact that Yeshua was reportedly of the Jewish faith and Christianity had not yet been invented, theorized or written? Doesn't that add up to the wrong name, wrong face, new religion equals... praying to an imaginary friend?

How is this enigma reconciled, bible quotations don't count as an actual, logical or intelligent answer.

I mean they say they do belive in God but not in Judaism, Chrsitanaity, or Islam way, dont they realise if it wasnt for these relgions these people wud not have belive in the God they do belive in the first place? i really dont understand that, if they belive in the same God as the 3 main religions do then why not follow one of those religions & belive in that way, its like they made up their own relgion to belive in the sam God, why do they do that, what possibly can be the difference in worshipping the same God but through their own way.
