I'm confused about the trinity(Father,Son & Holy Spirit)?

Question

Is the Holy Spirit Jesus' soul, or is their realy a "trinity

Answer 1

actually, you're not supposed to be able to understand it completly. It's a mystery of faith. You just have to believe. The trinity is ONE god, with 3 persons.

Answer 2

there is a trinity. the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one because they bear record of each other. When Jesus spoke he spoke the word of God because in essence he was the word (John 1:14) "So the word became human and lived here on earth. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory the glory of the only Son of the Father."(NIV)
When the Holy Spirit speaks it speaks the mind of God. 1John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit, for these three are one.

Answer 3

There are three persons in one God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This is the Holy Trinity!

Answer 4

I believe the that the Father is God. The Son is Jesus. The Holy Spirit is God.

Answer 5

Yes, the Trinity refers to the 3 beings of God. The first is God himself, the second is Jesus Christ, his son and the third is the Holy Spirit.
God probably doesn't need any explanation. He is the our Creator and the creator of the universe.
Jesus is God's son, but He is also God in human form, who came to earth to save us by being the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
The Holy Spirit is Jesus's (God) presence here on earth for all of His followers. He left the Holy Spirit to dwell with us and help us navigate through our lives as followers of Christ. I like to think that He's on my shoulder to help me be strong or to make good decisions. When I'm scared or confused I envision Him there smiling at me and saying "I'm right here on your shoulder. You're not alone in this situation. I've been there. I understand".

Answer 6

‘But isn’t Jesus called a god in the Bible?’ someone may ask. This is true. Yet Satan is also called a god. (2 Corinthians 4:4) At John 1:1, which refers to Jesus as “the Word,” some Bible translations say: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But notice, verse 2 says that the Word was “in the beginning with God.” And while men have seen Jesus, verse 18 says that “no man hath seen God at any time.” (Authorized or King James Version) So we find that some translations of verse 1 give the correct idea of the original language when they read: “The Word was with God, and the Word was divine,” or was “a god,” that is, the Word was a powerful godlike one. (An American Translation) Clearly, Jesus is not Almighty God. In fact, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”

Did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” And he said: “The Father is greater than I am.” Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Further, on one occasion Jesus prayed to God, saying: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If Jesus were the Almighty God, he would not have prayed to himself, would he? In fact, following Jesus’ death, the Scripture says: “This Jesus God resurrected.” (Acts 2:32) Thus the Almighty God and Jesus are clearly two separate persons. Even after his death and resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus was still not equal to his Father.


As for the “Holy Spirit,” the so-called third Person of the Trinity, this is not a person but God’s active force. John the Baptizer said that Jesus would baptize with holy spirit, even as John had been baptizing with water. Hence, in the same way that water is not a person, holy spirit is not a person. (Matthew 3:11) What John foretold was fulfilled when, following the death and resurrection of Jesus, holy spirit was poured out on his followers gathered in Jerusalem. The Bible says: “They all became filled with holy spirit.” (Acts 2:4) Were they “filled” with a person? No, but they were filled with God’s active force. Thus the facts make clear that the Trinity is not a Bible teaching. Actually, long before Jesus walked the earth gods were worshiped in groups of three, or trinities, in places such as ancient Egypt and Babylon.

Answer 7

Hi jesus_freak557. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one Being. There are many verses in the Bible that tell us this. God Tells us in Isaiah 9:6:

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Answer 8

The Bible clearly speaks of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit...and also clearly presents that there is only one God. Thus the term: "Tri" meaning three, and "Unity" meaning one, Tri+Unity = Trinity. A kind of an illustration for the Trinity would be, such as H2O being water, ice and steam (all different forms, but all are H2O).

Answer 9

Hi, theologians have tried to explain this mystery for centuries and still have difficulty in doing so as it is an incredible mystery, we do not know how God spends His time or how the Trinity live in their personal union together except in perfect harmony and love, the little that we do know has been revealed to us by Jesus and by the grace of the Holy Spirit.
what God is in Himself we can only debate as God exists in unapproachable light.
We can be sure though that there is but one God in which exists 3 divine Persons, each with their own essence and yet so incredibly close that they are one in love and agreement.

Answer 10

I think it's a trinity. The Holy Spirit which came down at Pentecost is, if I remember correctly, Gods presence down on Earth. It was left here after Jesus' resurrection and ascension back to heaven. I ought to be more certain 'cos my dad was a Church of Scotlnd minister but I've lapsed big style and my memory is a bit hazy but I'm pretty sure that's the jist of it.
