What Is Your Concept Of The Trinity (Or) What I Use - The Triunity Of GOD?

Question

In the KJV 1 John 5:7 we read; For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Answer 1

First, in the essence of the One GOD, there is the ability to manifest Himself as ONE and yet as Three Distinct Persons!

(Matthew 3:16-17) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

(Mat 3:17) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

At the Baptism of JESUS, he was there, THE HOLY SPIRIT was there in the form of a DOVE, and the Father was there as HE Spoke!

DID YOU KNOW that Satan has a Satanic Trinity?

(Revelation 20:10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Note, The Devil, The Beast and The False Prophet!

And YET - GOD says He is ONE!

(Isaiah 44:6) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Answer 2

I look at the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, see John 1:14(God the Word) , and God the Holy Ghost like this. There is only one God, but he has many different responsibilities. An example would be: I am one person, but I am a wife, a mother, and a daughter all three have different responsibilities but I am still just one person (this is just an example and by no means puts me on the level with God).

Answer 3

Hey I don't mean to challenge your faith, but 1st John 5:7 and 8 are not in the earliest manuscripts, in fact they do not "show up" until the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries - a full 1600 years after Christ! This was confirmed by Bruce Metzger, one of the top New Testament scholars in the world who taught my Greek teacher. There is still tons of scriptures that refer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and I do believe in all three, but I am somewhat of a Unitarian; I don't make any express declarations about the Trinity, I simply believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and I don't try to connect them into one being.

I break it down into what each one does for us.

God gives us Grace
Jesus gives us Atonement
The Holy Spirit gives us Righteousness

But yeah, the scripture in John is not credible or historical. I specifically learned Greek so I could know exactly what the Bible really says in its original language, and by learning Greek my faith has increased greatly, yet I have noticed more errors in the English versions and that scripture is one of them, and the KJV is particularly bad, but since several older manuscripts have been discovered since the KJV was compilled, I do not really blame them, so long as their newer editions confirm to the older manuscrips I don't care if the Bible is translated into old English or modern English. But we should not include 400 year old verses in a Bible that was finished 1900+ years ago.

The other errors are really small, like one manuscript says "Christ" and another says "Jesus Christ" or "Jesus", or one says "Christ" and another "the Christ"; one may say "Christ Jesus" and another "Jesus Christ" but as you can see, all these are really insignificant.

Answer 4

God - The Father
Jesus - The Word of God - The Logos, the part we can actually see.
Holy Ghost - AKA Holy Spirit of God

All the same person.

Answer 5

Probably not the best verse to cite, since this appears in no Greek manuscripts. However I certainly believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. Actually, it is most clearly taught in Genesis 1:26,27, Where God (Elohim = plural form of God) says "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness ... And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created Him; male and female He created them.
In the creation account in the following chapter, we see Adam created from the dust of the earth. Now we have one. Out of Adam is brought forth Eve. Now we have two, but out of one. Afterward it is spoken of them "the two shall become one flesh" Now we have two, become one, which makes three.
This is the Biblical picture of the nature of the Trinity. It is not saying God is sexual - sexual pertains to flesh, whereas God is Spirit. What it says is the Son was brought forth from the same uncreated eternal substance of the Father, and co-exists in perfect Unity, which Unity constitutes personality, namely, the Holy Spirit.
This is God's explanation of the Trinity, if you can receive it.

Answer 6

Yes....I believe the same...God the Father...Jesus the Word ....and the Holy Spirit...3 distintive parts, but all being one.

Answer 7

The "Trinity" is a concept invented as a consequence of the "Johannine Comma", and may be entirely the result of a mistranslation or a mistaken interpretation of some smudges in the margin that were taken for punctuation. (In Greek, the punctuation was often relegated to the margin of the page).

The "King James Version" is a bible that was specifically edited to meet the needs of King John. If you want "truth", while I personally doubt you will find it in the bible, you ought at least try to use the original text!

Answer 8

A husband and wife are joined together and become one but are they then one person...they work together in agreement with each other yet are still 2 individuals.

Answer 9

A fairy tale of a father who allowed his son to be condemed to the cross for saving infidels and prays to his holy Ghost.

Answer 10

My favorite analogy is an egg. An egg has a shell, a yolk and whites. Yet it makes a single egg. Three in one.
