The Christian concept of the Trinity once seemed strange, perhaps even contrived, to me. How could something be three things that are one and one thing that is three? But the Trinity made sense to me once I came to believe in God, to recognize Him in Jesus Christ and to know the part of Him within me. My understanding of the Trinity, and belief in its truth, grew as I came to see that the universe itself reflects the three-in-one nature of the God who created it.
Water as solid, liquid and vaporMatter
Matter has three states, solid, liquid and gaseous. Each element is a single element, but it takes on different forms or manifestations under different conditions.
Three primary colors give white lightLight
Any color of light can be formed from the three primary colors. Light that appears as white, the purest of all, does not exist by itself but is the equal combination of red, green and blue light, and is a manifestation of three colors in one.
Three dimensions in spaceSpace
The space of our universe has three dimensions. You cannot define a point in space without using three dimensions, and yet that point is one.
Time in past, present and futureTime
Time in our universe has three dimensions that are found in past, present and future, yet it is a single continuum and only exists in the present.
Three primary forces of natureForces
There are three physical forces known to control all interactions in matter: gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear. The Unified Field Theory seeks to identify one set of laws that describes all these forces as different manifestations of one force.
Atoms
The atom defines the most basic unit of every chemical element in the universe. The word atom comes from the Greek word for "indivisible," yet while it represents the purest essence of one element, the atom has three facets, with the positively charged proton and neutral neutron at its core, and the negatively charged electron outside the core that balances its electric charge and interacts with other elements.
Trisecting a line as the basis for design in creationLife
The physical design of the human body, and that of many other life forms, is based on a relationship known as the Divine Proportion, or Golden Section. This proportion is based on trisecting a line such that the ratio of the small piece to the large piece is the same as the ratio of the large piece to the entire line. It is also found by solving an equation with three terms, x3 - x2 - x1 = 0.
Nature of man
The nature of man is expressed as mind, body and spirit, analogous to, and in the image of, the triune nature of God. It's interesting to note that Genesis relates man being made by "us" in "our" image when referring to God, indicating the plurality in His nature.
Life on Earth
Life on Earth inhabits three domains, the sea, the land and the air.
Holy Trinity
Following the three-in-one nature that is found throughout creation, we find the three-in-one nature of the One God manifested in the Holy Trinity, with each Being revealing a different aspect of our God and Creator to us:
The Father, the part of God that is transcendent, infinite and beyond our understanding,
The Son, Jesus Christ, the part of God that is immanent and appeared to us in the way that we could best know Him, in human form. He was both "Son of God," an expression of God as contained in human form, and at the same time "Son of Man," the ultimate expression of who we can be in our most divine form.
The Holy Spirit, the part of God that lives in the heart and soul of each of us, acting as our Counselor for those who believe and listen to His voice within us.

If you can understand the Godhead, it is very simple to understand, There is only ONE GOD & ONE SPIRIT, You have God the creator, & God in his Son Jesus Christ reconciling the world back unto himself, & God in the form of the Holy Ghost, But all by the same spirit, Jesus was not God, He was the only Begotten Son of God, God did not die, In fact God DID NOT EVEN DWELL IN JESUS until the day Jesus was baptized at age 30.-------------------Friend you are like a bunch of people, you post a question & then gets a few answers, & then you want to add onto your question to downgrade the original question & the ones that tries to honestly answer you, So now I also add onto my answer, You are a very sick immature kid, & a little brat, do you know how to grow up, or do you want to play with dolls, the rest of your life, By the way blow your nose, if you know how. Now how do you feel. Since I told the truth about you, Oh yes, I almost forgot, You are a spoiled little brat.

The Trinity theory is just another aspect of Celtic mysticism which the Roman Catholic Church incorporated, in order to bring larger numbers of pagan converts into their membership lists. This happened in about 280 A.D.
One half of the church at that time rejected this idea and other Rome-centric inventions, so they were hunted down and murdered as so called 'heretics'. This started in about 340 A.D.
The Celts loved all things in 'threes' and almost had a religious fetish for this. The French (from Gaul) bishops had the most influence in this 'expansion' of the church's philosophy.
Right after the post-pagan priests introduced the pantheon of the Trinity, they introduced the Goddess worship with the elevation of Mary, Mother of Christ, Eternal Virgin, and Queen of Heaven.
There is no such thing as 'pure' or orthodox Christianity -- it is ALL a syncretic blend with many other religions -- this historical FACT makes the Vatican and Evangelicals froth at the mouth, but it's still true.

Hello
God is one and then God is a unity, Oneness Pentecoastals believe that God is one whilst Christians believe God is a unity. When a person prays they forget to say ' in the name of Jesus Christ amen'. Because they they pray they are attempting to pray to God through Jesus Christ (the mediator). God is the farther, the son and holy spirit, i did think of these emanations or aspects of God, as he is the creator (farther) as we are made in his image (son) and he illuminates us (holy spirit)

Yes the concept of "Trinity" is weird. It is also not taught in Scripture. There is a Heavenly Father (The only "name" we have for Him is YHVH which seems to be a "family" name applying to both the Heavenly Father and also to the Savior) There is also a Savior. (His name is Yahoshua- He came in His Father's name, and His name means YHVH is my Savior). His Spirit, or His Father's Spirit, or Their Spirit (not a separate being, as Paul makes clear in 1 Cor. 2:11) deal with mankind to convict and convert them. Hey, we should expect things of the Almighty to be difficult to understand. We often must say, "well, we don't know for sure." That is why Organized Religion is up a tree. They can't say "I don't know" so they make up some stupid story. Then later someone makes up a different one.

Nope. Jesus is the Son of God. But at the same time they are one. It's the same thing as when a man and a woman gets married and they become one.

Dont dwell on the mystery that is the Triune Godhead. Read the Ten commandments and see your need for salvation. Earnestly seek forgivness through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. Then, with guidance from the Holy Spirit, you can grow in understandin and faith

"technology tells us that mild is produced from 3 regular rays, or communities of wavelengths. obviously different from one yet another, none of them with out the others will be mild. each and each and every ray has its own separate function. the first originates, the 2d illuminates, and the 0.33 consummates. the first ray, typically referred to as invisible mild, is neither considered nor felt. the 2d is both considered and felt. The 0.33 isn't considered yet is felt as warmth." No, it would not. the author is pretending to attraction to close what "technology tells us." He would not. If he knew something in any respect about electromagnetic radiation, he'd recognize it really is a continuous spectrum, not "3 regular rays." that's complete dishonest (or ignorant, i can not tell which) BS. Peace.

No actualy it is very easy.
God is trinity not three.
God himself come to earth and born from Mary and live as any human being on earth without doing sin to show us how we need to live and to carry our sin on the cross.
He left the Heaven - the son - and in the same time He is there
- the father.
the son prayed to the father to show us how to live, to pray.
he was human but in the same time he is God
He is God the human
i know people will dislike my answer, but i am a christian and this is christianity even if there people don't agree, please study the trinity and then judge

Do you ever think to yourself? Or do you ever find yourself talking to yourself? It does sound a little weird though. But the only reason it sounds weird is because it is a concept that most people are not use to because there really is no other thing in the universe like it. Maybe my explanation for it will help you.
There is only one God. But He is in multiple forms. The Hebrew word echad (one) means a united one. It is like the USA. We are made up of multiple states but together we are but one nation. According to the bible, truth is always confirmed in two or three witnesses. This is why God is always in multiple forms. Even the name Adonai is in plural form.
God appeared to Abraham as 3 different people. Even when God talks to people there are two voices heard:
"When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!"
And Moses said, "Here I am." - Exodus 3:4
Was Moses hard of hearing? Does God need to repeat himself? I don't think so. You will find God in multiple forms all throughout the bible.
