Why is the Trinity so misunderstood by most Christian denominations?

Question

There are so many times in the Bible where Jesus is praying to God. Was He praying to Himself? When Jesus was baptized, God spoke to Him from Heaven, the Holy Ghost desened down from Heaven in the form of a dove. God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost were all at the same place in different forms. From all this I believe they have to be three seperate beings.

Sorry I forgot to do spell check and I jnow some of the words are spelled wrong. I apologize.

Answer 1

Because there is no trinity in the first place, it was just an excuse to paganise the christian faith so it would become more appealing to the Romans.

Answer 2

There are some thoughts you have to be able to grasp to understand the classical idea of the Trinity, and it is true most people who identify themselves as Christians do not have a very complete understanding.

First, remember that the Kingdom of God is ruled by "both-and" realities, while our world is ruled by "either-or" thoughts. It is very typical for spiritually sophisticated things to be ambiguous in nature; that is, to be two or more things at once. At a human level, this takes more sophisticated thinking than most people are capable of to understand.

So God can be all these things, and probably more that we don't know about, at the same time. A friend of mine says, "I am a mother, I am a daughter, and I am a sister, all at the same time. But in being all those things, I am ME."

She is one being--one person. Different people see her primarily in different roles at differrent times. But to herself, she is herself.

If you can see how that relates to Trinitarian thinking, then you "get it." If it isn't clear, you just need to reflect on it some more.

Finally, you have to realize that the scriptural accounts give a pretty garbled outline of things that may make up spiritual reality. "Father," "Son," and "Holy Spirit" mean very different things to God than they did to the ancient Biblical peoples.

Answer 3

a lengthy time period before Christ develop into born a pretend non secular theory develop into of a three headed God. yet, the bible obviously shows Jehovah is the perfect God and his son as his first introduction develop right into a separate spirit individual. Collosians a million:15 tells us Jesus develop into his first introduction. Stephen in Acts sees Jesus on the right hand of God in heaven. Revelation a million:a million tells us the revelation God gave to Jesus. Holy spirit develop into poured out on one hundred twenty disciples contained in the better room so this is the skill of God not someone. Trinity isn't contained in the bible any the position neither is that theory in there it got here right down to us like a Christmas tree and Santa Clause by employing nicely meaning pagans.

Answer 4

Everyone has an idea of what they are. We won't know for sure until we get to heaven. As long as the Holy Spirit is there when I need Him I am okay with Him being one person or one of three.

Kinda like a split personality, or identical tripets.
