chirtsan do you belive that god is a spirit or man after reading this?

Question

1 For thousands of years, the people who did not have the Knowledge of the person, or reality of God worshiped their own Ideas of God. He has been made like many things other than what He really is. The Christians refer to God as a "Mystery" and a "Spirit" and divide Him into thirds. One part they call the Father, another part the Son, and the third part they call the Holy Ghost; which makes the three, one. This is contrary to both nature and mathematics. The law of mathematics will not allow us to put three into one. Our nature rebels against such a belief of God being a mystery and yet the Father of a son and a Holy Ghost without a wife or without being something In reality. We wonder how can the son be human, and the father a mystery (unknown), or a spirit? Who is this Holy Ghost that is classified as being the equal of the father and the son?

2 The Christians do not believe in God as being a human being, yet they believe in Him as being the Father of all human beings. The

The Christians do not believe in God as being a human being, yet they believe in Him as being the Father of all human beings. They also refer to God as He, Him, Man, King and The Ruler. They teach that God sees, hears, talks, walks, stands, sits, rides, and flies; that He grieves or sorrows; and that He is interested in the affairs of human beings. They also teach that once upon a time He made the first man like Himself in the image and likeness of Himself, but yet they believe that He, Himself, is not a man or human. They preach and prophesy of His coming and that He will be seen on the Judgment Day but is not man. They cannot tell us what He looks like, yet man is made like Him and in the image of God, and yet they still say that He is a mystery (unknown).

3 How can one teach the people to know God if He, himself, does not know God. If you try teaching the Christians that God is also a human being, they will say that you are crazy, that you do not believe in God and that you a

Answer 1

There are many assertions in your question that may or may not be true. It sounds like you have heard from various people various ideas about what is and what is not various Christian doctrine. It sounds like some concepts have been discussed but not thoroughly examined. I can not speak for all Christian denominations, yet Roman Catholic's adhere to an understanding of the Holy Trinity different than you have described.

Common sensically, I am a father (to my kids), a son (to my father), and a brother (to my siblings) yet I am one whole person. I am 100% father and 100% son and 100% brother; not a third of each. Specifically, Roman Catholic doctrine refers to the mystery of the Holy Trinitiy. (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c1p2.htm). The term mystery is often used by Roman Catholic doctrine to signify or describe an assertion than can not be disproven or proven. However, because something can not be proven does not mean that it doesn't exist. Hence, its existence is a mystery and faith in one possibility versus another defines individuals.

Aside, I found your comparisons to mathematics interesting. Note that the laws of mathematics do allow for:
i.) imaginary numbers; and
ii.) the undefined state of division by zero.
Both concepts seem like they might fit your presumption of "mysterious" or "unknown". As well, mathematics does allow for one equation to have two answers. A simple quadratic equation can be solved equally with two different values. For instance, the equation:

0 = 2X^2 + 4X - 30

resolves to both 3 and -5 without preference or prejudice. Larger order polynomial equations can have 3 or more solutions.

Anyway, despite different denominations and doctrine most Christians can find commonality in the oft remembered citation -- the Golden Rule. Upon being questioned about the most important laws of Judaism, Jesus replies that the most important law is to treat others as you would like to be treated and love God with all your heart.

The Golden Rule resonates outside of Christianity for the simple reason that it promotes societal living. Who doesn't want to be treated fairly? Of course, the notion of God can be argued and opinions can differ. Which ever Supreme Being, Beings, or lack thereof you believe to be the truth, pursuit of a truth should be any persons mantra.

Individuals need to find their own truths. Truth isn't revealed by process of elimination. You should explore various truths with an open mind. Rather than finding the faults in the truths you explore, I suggest looking for the truths that you believe will lead you to be a happy and productive member of society who helps others find happiness -- even if their happiness is in pursuit of a different truth.

Answer 2

Firstly I'm a Christian, I'm not sure what a chirtsan is? Second, I disagree with your statement that "three, one. This is contrary to both nature and mathematics. Consider the qualities of H2O: when it is present at temperatures from 33 to 211 degrees Fahrenheit, it is water. Below 32 degrees it is ice, above 212 degrees it is steam. Now look at an ordinary chicken egg, it consists of a shell, egg white, and a yoke. each part is indispensable, yet combined makes one egg. Now for the certainty of the existence of the the triune God: the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:and these three are one." 1 John 5:7. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:2 "No one has seen god at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. " 1 John 4:12 It does not matter what God looks like, He is Lord of all!!!

Answer 3

Pls note the spelling of christians. I can't tolerate poor spelling. . The mystery of the Holy Trinity can simply be explained like this.
Fold the american flag into three parts. The flag remains one and that is how the Holy Trinity
works. It's composed of the God the Father, Eloihym which is the masculine side, then God , the Son or the Word of God or Jesus Christ in the human form and the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, the feminine side. That's how Adam and Eve were created in the images of God. This is all in the Genesis of the Bible.

Normally, you can not prove religion by using the science of mathematics. Most if not all scientists can not accept that concept as they believe in the evolution theory. That man comes from the primates. That's why most if not all are atheists They do not believe in the existence of God. But let's use mathematics, we have one apple pie. We cut it into three slices. Each slice is one third of the whole.They are fractions. But still, there is only one pie. This explains the three entities or three persons of the Holy Trinity.

God is God , the Father, who has no form and definitely not a human being although Adam and subsequently mankind look like Him. He is the beginning and the end. He is truth. It's a question of faith and thus belief.

Answer 4

I am Christian. I do not believe in a trinity. I believe that God is one. That Jesus was a created being, the first creation of God that is why is called Gods Son, not son the god. I believe the Holy Ghost (Spirit) is not a person but Gods power.

I believe that when man was created in Gods image it was not in appearance but in attributes such as love, power, wisdom, justice, peace, long-suffering, mildness, self-control, joy, goodness.

I believe that those who teach or follow the trinity idea are not true christian.

I earnestly believe that what most "Christan" religions teach are unbiblical.

Answer 5

God is everything and everywhere. God has been around forever and will always be around - - quite simply - he IS.

The Old Testament teaches us that God was displeased with man and our overall sinning ways. God notified all the righteous people (Noah and his family) and flooded the earth to wipe it clean.

God sends us Jesus, his Son to save us because no one can have eternal life except through is Son.

God the Father is exactly that, our Father and we are his children. God the Son is our role model - Jesus shows us how he treated people and we should treat each other the same way. The Holy Spirit is that emotional side that comforts/moves/prompts us into action.

I am a Christian and God is NOT A MYSTERY TO ME... I am currently building my relationship with him through prayer, reading and changing my ways. Perhaps he was a mystery to me be before I got to know him.

Answer 6

Where did you get those paragraphs? Anybody can write anything they want. Without some authority behind it, it is meaningless.

I believe what the Bible says. It's writings were inspired by God Himself and have stood the test of time.

Answer 7

Point. I am LDS and often wondered the same things of Christians...

God the Father = exalted man who was once like we are right now
Jesus Christ = Savior of Mankind, resurrected Lord
Holy Ghost = personage of spirit, the Comforter, testifies of Christ and our Heavenly Father through testimony and faith

All three are separate beings.

Answer 8

The best source to learn anything about God is the Holy Bible. But, I believe God was a man, his name was Jesus. Now three in one. The Father (God), Spirt (Holy Spirt) and Son (Jesus Christ). http://www.wcg.org/lit/God/trinitybible.htm

Read the Bible and seek it for yourself. We are a lucky nation to even have bibles and be able to read them.

Answer 9

I dont have to read anything to know that God is my creator and is the Almight God, who is above all things and all people in the entire universe. God is Jesus Father, and is above all things.

Answer 10

still believe that god is the way the truth and the light
