Can an explination of three being one is that God created us in his own image. Since God is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and yet still one. Does that relate to Humans the Mind, Humans the Body, and Humans the spirit. We do have a mind, body and spirit. We all have our own trinities yet we are one in the trinities. Is us being three and one relflect how we are created in God's image?

First, when it says, "So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them," there is no concept of Trinity yet developed. This is often seen to represent that we have the power to create and destroy, and we possess freewill.
Second, This does not negate that you have a good example of the Trinity. Mind, body, and spirit works as well as most the other analogies of the Trinity.
Finally, While it works for describing the Trinity, it does not mean we have a trinity within us, or that this explains being created in God's own image.

The trinity is an synthetic doctrine that replaced into invented interior the 2nd century, clarified during the third century, and declared doctrinal during the fourth century. Early Christians did no longer understand the character of God the father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost. some believed in 2 Gods (one for the OT, one for the NT), some believed in seven Gods, one for daily of the week, and a few believed in 365 Gods, one for daily of the 365 days. while the apostles died, there replaced into no person left that would desire to definitively define doctrine. guy replaced into left to himself to determine it out, and after some hundred years got here up with the Trinity as we comprehend it right this moment. it rather is a faux guy-made doctrine which you do no longer locate interior the bible, and replaced into no longer believed via the early Christians.

Nice theory but if someone shoots a body with a gun and the body dies, mind dies with it and spirit departs from the body.
When Jesus died according to current Christians it means other 2 parts of God died with him for 3 days as well.
If they did then it all 3 can't be God because God is eternal and if they didn't then there goes the whole faith of Christianity.

Three things important to people are food (body), information (mind), and health (spirit). It may be easier to find what you seek with simple ideas.

Yes, I do believe so. It also reflects our levels of consciousness: our subconscious, which governs those things we automatically do (hearts beating, breathing, eyes blinking and all habits); our conscious, which is our active participation in our lives (walking, talking, thinking, praying, loving, etc.); our supraconscious, which is our Communion with God (many who meditate are aware of their supraconscious self).
