does anyone know how the holy trinity actually works?

Answer 1

What do u mean?
Like God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit?

Well its easy. God is all those three parts.
Just like maybe you are a Son, A friend, A worker, A father.
All these parts consist of oyu. you are only 1 person but you are a multiple of things get it?

Answer 2

Tertullian, one of the early church fathers, coined the term "Trinity." The word actually means "three-ness." Tertullian was an ardent supporter of orthodoxy in the church, and was one of the greatest defenders of the historic Christian faith.

The term "Trinity" is not found in the Scriptures, but the doctrine is clearly displayed. There are many times where Jesus said of Himself that He was God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. There are several others I have not listed. Besides this, Jesus said that He & the Father were one (John 10:30). This describes a unity, even though there are two.

The Trinity has an underlying appearance in the Old Testament as well. In Genesis, we see during creation that God said, "Let us make man in our image." and also when man sinned, God said, "...man has become as one of us, to know good and evil..." Who was He speaking to? The other persons of the Trinity. We also see that the Spirit of God hovered over the waters in the beginning, and in John 1:1-3, it clearly states that Jesus (the Word) made everything.

Another angle to pursue is the various Scriptures that demonstrate that God's attributes are present in Jesus as well as the Holy Spirit. For example, the Father is eternal (Psalm 90:2), and so is the Son (John 1:2), and so is the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14). Another shared attribute is their holiness. Only God is truly holy. The Father is holy (Revelation 15:4), so is the Son (Acts 3:14), and so is the Spirit (Acts 1:8).

An ancient diagram of the Trinity can be helpful in getting your hands around the doctrine, and can be found at the link in the SOURCE list.

The Trinitarian doctrine requires much more depth of discussion than can occur here. It is important to know that we only have to believe, not necessarily understand, the Trinitarian nature of God. It is a bedrock doctrine of the Christian church. Anything else is heresy.

Answer 3

The last time I checked; the holy trinity works 24 hours a day 7 days a week, without pay. The job requires 100% perfection. They are a special task force that protects the human race from death and sin. The three work as one(likeminded). Satan, once worked for them as head angel, but after his ploy to take over, he and his cohorts were removed from the heavenly premises. Satans desire to get back has produced one of the longest battles known to mankind; one day, this battle will end. Nobody knows when this battle will end. However, it is known that the Trinity will win this ongoing battle.
Hope this made sense; I am sure you will get all the theology answers you need and more. Have a nice day!

Answer 4

Father

Son

Holy Spirit.

Picture a wind chime.

The pipes are the structure that the wind caresses and there is music that comes as a result. The effects or the machinations of the functions or purpose of any of the other parts cannot completely be actualized or utilized without the others.

Any tri-fold unity can be used to describe the Holy trinity. Everything is relative and therefore relevant.

Answer 5

TRINITY: According to the Athanasian Creed (St. Athanasius, Archbishop of Alexandria):

"The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God."

In this Holy Trinity: "The three Persons are CO-EQUAL and CO-ETERNAL: all alike are UNCREATED and OMNIPOTENT." (The Catholic Encyclopedia).

Thus the Trinity is considered to be: "One God in three Persons"

There is only one verse in the whole of Holy Scripture called the Bible which unequivocally supports this Christian dogma, and that is:
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one. " The first Epistle of John 5:7

Dr C.I, Scofield, in a footnote to this verse says:
"IT IS GENERALLY AGREED THAT THIS VERSE HAS NO MANUSCRIPT AUTHORITY AND HAS BEEN INSERTED."

The fundamentalist Christians still retain this fabrication whereas, in all the modern translations including the Revised Standard Version (RSV) this pious fraud has been unceremoniously expunged.

Answer 6

The trinity became the accepted doctrine of the churches in the 4th century(Trinitarianism). Under this there is one God, but he consists of three distinct persons. This is the doctrine enunciated in the creed: "I believe in one God......." The three persons are the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are supposed to have existed for all time. The prime functions of each part are: Father=Creator, Spirit=Advocate/Comforter, Son=Word/Saviour.
Most Christians believe in this doctrine, though there are some who are Unitarians(only believe in one, the creator God, and regard Jesus as an example of good.) or Binitarians(only believe in one God with two natures, Father and Son). Arians are generally Binitarians, who also believe that the Father created the Son. So there has always been disagreement and controversy among Christians as to the nature of God and the Trinity.
It is a notoriously difficult concept.

However the idea of a triple deity has been widespread and common.
The Great Goddess of ancient times had three aspects: Maid, Mother, Hag.
In Hinduism, the Supreme Cosmic Spirit, Brahman also has three aspects: Shiva(destroyer) Brahma(Creator) and Vishnu(Preserver).

There seems to be a continual conflict in our ideas of god, between our belief that there is one supreme being, and that we have a personal relationship with God. This leads to a tendency to separate aspects of god, praying to lower divinities and saints. My view, for what it is worth, is that it is very unlikely that anyone of us could understand what god is or how god "works". Therefore all the ideas that we have are at best honest attempts to explain the inexplicable. If the result is often incomprehensible, that is not surprising.

Answer 7

The Trinity is actually three different manifestations of God. In Romans 1:20 is says that the creation helps us understand the Godhead (Trinity). Matter exists in 3 different states...Solid, Liquid and vapor. Take water, it can be ice, water (liquid) or steam. The chemical formula is the same for each. God, the Father (Solid), Jesus, the Son (Liquid because of His shed blood), and The Holy Spirit (vapor) are like one, but manifest differently.

Answer 8

Father right hand Son left hand Holy Spirit earth. Try an upside down triangle might help. The Holy Spirit comes from the Father and the Son.

Answer 9

The holy trinity refers to the three forms god is, was, and always will be and the forms we know today, so when we pray we ask for the attention and trust of god in his three forms to which he appears to us. In the father, his son Jesus, and in the holy spirit which ignites our faith. and when we make this sign when praying it does not make a form of a triangle but as a cross.

Answer 10

All I know is that its the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and it looks like a triangle.

Sorry couldn't be more help.
