Answer 1

Trinity is three in one. God the Father, God the son and God the holispirit. Its like all huimans are trinity as well except that their components are cant work without the others. God is father in soul the most important part. Jesus is God in form of Human being and The Holispirit is God in spirit.
so the three components of trinity is Soul, Body and spirit
God, Jesus, Holispirit

Answer 2

PEOPLE who believe the Trinity teaching say that God consists of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each of these three persons is said to be equal to the others, almighty, and without beginning. According to the Trinity doctrine, therefore, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, yet there is only one God.

Many who believe the Trinity admit that they are not able to explain this teaching. Still, they may feel that it is taught in the Bible. It is worth noting that the word “Trinity” never occurs in the Bible. But is the idea of a Trinity found there? To answer this question, here is some scriptures that supporters often cite to uphold the Trinity.

“THE WORD WAS GOD”

John 1:1 states: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (King James Version) Later in the same chapter, the apostle John clearly shows that “the Word” is Jesus. (John 1:14) Since the Word is called God, however, some conclude that the Son and the Father must be part of the same God.

Bear in mind that this part of the Bible was originally written in Greek. Later, translators rendered the Greek text into other languages. A number of Bible translators, though, did not use the phrase “the Word was God.” Why not? Based on their knowledge of Biblical Greek, those translators concluded that the phrase “the Word was God” should be translated differently. How? Here are a few examples: “The Logos [Word] was divine.” (A New Translation of the Bible) “The Word was a god.” (The New Testament in an Improved Version) “The Word was with God and shared his nature.” (The Translator’s New Testament) According to these translations, the Word is not God himself. Instead, because of his high position among Jehovah’s creatures, the Word is referred to as “a god.” Here the term “god” means “mighty one.”

GET MORE FACTS

Most people do not know Biblical Greek. So how can you know what the apostle John really meant? Think of this example: A schoolteacher explains a subject to his students. Afterward, the students differ on how to understand the explanation. How can the students resolve the matter? They could ask the teacher for more information. No doubt, learning additional facts would help them to understand the subject better. Similarly, to grasp the meaning of John 1:1, you can look in the Gospel of John for more information on Jesus’ position. Learning additional facts on this subject will help you to draw the right conclusion.

For instance, consider what John further writes in chapter 1, verse 18: “No man has seen [Almighty] God at any time.” However, humans have seen Jesus, the Son, for John says: “The Word [Jesus] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory.” (John 1:14, KJ) How, then, could the Son be part of Almighty God? John also states that the Word was “with God.” But how can an individual be with someone and at the same time be that person? Moreover, as recorded at John 17:3, Jesus makes a clear distinction between himself and his heavenly Father. He calls his Father “the only true God.” And toward the end of his Gospel, John sums up matters by saying: “These have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.” (John 20:31) Notice that Jesus is called, not God, but the Son of God. This additional information provided in the Gospel of John shows how John 1:1 should be understood. Jesus, the Word, is “a god” in the sense that he has a high position but is not the same as Almighty God.

CONFIRM THE FACTS

Think again about the example of the schoolteacher and the students. Imagine that some still have doubts, even after listening to the teacher’s additional explanation. What could they do? They could turn to another teacher for further information on the same subject. If the second teacher confirms the explanation of the first one, the doubts of most students may be put to rest. Similarly, if you are not sure what the Bible writer John was really saying about the relationship between Jesus and Almighty God, you could turn to another Bible writer for further information. Consider what was written by Matthew, for example. Regarding the end of this system of things, he quotes Jesus as saying: “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?

Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?

As you continue your Bible studies, you will become familiar with many more Bible passages that have a bearing on this subject. They confirm the truth about the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit.—Psalm 90:2; Acts 7:55; Colossians 1:15.

Answer 3

The Trinity Is the One True God, in 3 Divine Persons: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

As Father, He Created us all, & He Loves & Protects us all.

As the Son, He Came Down from Heaven To Become our Messiah & To Save us all from our sinful nature. At the end of time, He Will Return To Take His faithful Home with Him.

As the Holy Spirit, He Blesses us all & Makes us Holy so that we will love & worship God.

In These 3 Persons, what humanity has always believed about God can be summed up.

God Is worshipped as Father. The one time God Became a Human Was & Is in the Person Of Jesus. And God Is Spirit.

Answer 4

As taken from Wikipedia:

Within Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single Being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a perichoresis of three persons (personae, prosopa): Father (the Source, the Eternal Majesty); the Son (the eternal Logos or Word, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth); and the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete or advocate). Since the 4th Century AD, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "One God in Three Persons," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal "persons" or "hypostases," share a single Divine essence, being, or nature.

Answer 5

The trinity describes the three ways God has revealed himself to mankind:
God the heavenly father, creator of all things;
God the Son, incarnated as a man to redeem us from sin;
God the Holy Spirit, who dwells within the believer.
All three are very different from each other, but they are all still God.

It's like describing water, which is revealed to us in three ways:
Water the liquid, a free flowing form;
Water the solid, ice hard and breakable;
Water the gas, hot and steamy.
All three are very different from each other, but they are all still water.

Answer 6

The Trinity refers to the three parts of the God-head...God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It is said that God is "three-in-one" in that there are three separate, distinct personalities, but they share the same essence (same qualitities) so it is as if they are one person.

The perfect triumvirate.

To me, the Doctrine of the Trinity showes that Christianity is not monotheistic--when Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit flew over as a white dove, and the Father said "This is my son, with whom I am well pleased." There were three individuals present...as christians, we don't just worship Christ, but we pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit, who reveals to us doctrine, and makes the Word of God "epignosis" ("True" or "full knowledge" as opposed to gnosis "empirical knowledge") to us. We worship a trinity, three deities working together, possessing identical qualities (righteousness, love, eternal life, justice, sovereignty, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, immutability, and veracity).

Answer 7

Trinity is the highest deity formation of leadership and control . It is designed for many things. We can only guess at them. But mostly it is designed by the original god to direct our life long learning process. It is a call to invoke all the power of god... the trinity is power.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

It was a doctrine invented by the *Nicene Council in 325 CE (ad) and eventually forced on people under penalty of death.

The Church of England adopted it and also executed people who challenged it.

**Unitarians reject the polytheism of the Trinity, hence they are called Unitarians. Catholics & mainstream Christian cults (Baptist, Episcopalian, etc.) vilify and denounce them as "Satan worshipers" or other pleasant terms.

I'm an atheist and read the other answers. Most of them seem to be repeating the propaganda (lies) they were taught.

Answer 11

the father the son and the holy sprit or goast what ever you choose to call the last one i dont think it matters, they are all the same yet all have their own characteristics. When ever 2 or more people meet to praise and worship god the holy spirit is there with them as well, and i think you know who the father and son are.
