Is the Trinity like a Snickers bar?

Question

The Holy Ghost is the chewy center. Jesus is the peanuts. And God is the chocolate that covers it all. Am I close? I am trying to understand.

Answer 1

a Snickers bar is real
Trinity isn't

there is only one god
he didn't had a son
he wasn't born or give birth
& no such thing is like him
--------------------------------------
why do god need a son for?
to sacrifice?
get real
if he wanted to save all the people he didn't need to sacifice his son for that
also if jesus was GOD --> who was he praying to ?? himself??

Answer 2

Not too bad of an analogy, but there are some problems with it.

If you take the peanuts, chewy center or chocolate out of the Snickers bar and place them by themselves, you no longer have a Snickers bar. You have peanuts, chocolate and nougat. It is only when they are together in a certain structure that you have a Snickers Bar.

On the other hand, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God even when one is considered separate from the others.

Maybe a better analogy would be water. Water can be in the form of ice, liquid water, and water vapor. If you have a piece of partially melted ice in a bowl, you have all three forms present. This also shows the relationship between the three. The melting of the ice gives us water and the evaporation of the water gives us water vapor. God sent His Son and the Son sent us His Holy Spirit.

Answer 3

Not really as the chewy centre, the peanuts and the chocolate are all PARTS of the whole. Whereas the Trinity is more like three ASPECTS of the same thing. I am a father, a husband and a son but I don't have a part of me that is a father and a different part of me that's a husband and a further bit that is the son. All of me is, at the same time, these three different things.

Answer 4

Trinity needs God teeths!

Answer 5

Hey that`s not bad, I wish that I could travel back in time and give St. Patrick a snickers bar,He used a stalk of clover(shamrock) and basically the idea came out the same.
snickers bar!, Shamrock, Iike it.

Answer 6

God is One. There is no Trinity. Jesus is a prophet of God, and like all his fellow prophets, he is a human being. We love him, and believe in him, and affirm all of his miracles, bestowed upon him as a favour from his Lord. He called for the worship of God alone and for righteousness - as every prophet of God has done. However, his pure monotheistic message was gradually changed by 'Christians' into a polytheistic one, by transforming Jesus(the servant of God, into a mythological God-incarnate figure to be worshipped alongside God All-Mighty.

Answer 7

I would say that's a fair comparison! I learned it as an egg with the Holy Spirit being the center, Jesus being the thin protective layer and God being the shell that holds it together!

Answer 8

Im not sure, but I think you are very close. Good luck on trying to understand it would seem that most religions dont and not agree what it meant, so your scenario is just as convincing.
I wish you well

Answer 9

Great analogy. I used to use the apple with the core, skin & seeds but a Snickers bar is yummier :-)

Answer 10

This could be construed as trying to say that:
1. Jesus Christ is a nut
2. God is black
3. the holy trinity is full of flavor but low on nutrition.
4. the holy trinity melts in the light of the sun

So I disagree with it since it opens the door to jokes and disrespect.
I still prefer the shamrock metaphor - three shards of the same leaf.
