How do you view God? (Trinity, Oneness, or Other)? Can you describe how & why you believe this?

Question

I believe:

God is like an Egg.
An Egg has a shell that captures it's contents (i.e. like God the Father figure).
An egg has a white that surrounds a middle part (i.e The Son figure in the flesh).
An egg has a yolk - the center of it's being (i.e. The Holy Spirit figure in spiritual form).

However, you can not say that the shell alone is the whole egg (That God is separate from the manifestations He sends Himself to mankind as).
You cannot say the white alone is the whole egg (For Jesus Christ was merely a part of Himself - God - that He sent forth to man on earth to bring them Salvation).
And you cannot say the yolk is the entire egg (The Holy Spirit - A part of God's Spirit that sent to earth to be the spiritual Comforter for mankind).

You must say all the parts of the egg together are the whole egg.
You also must say all the parts (i.e manifestations) of God are all of God combined. Thus One God who was and still remains also Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Someons answered & asked "Are each of us three in one?"

Yes, in fact we are.
We have a body, soul, and mind, but we are still one person. One body containing the three things God created us for so He could use them to work through us.
He uses us to use our body to help others etc.
He uses our minds to think up things to help others and create things like medicine etc.
He uses our souls to speak to us, and for us to speak to Him inaudibly etc.

This is WHY "I Personally Believe" that God is One. In the Bible both God and Jesus are called God. And in other places called Lord, etc.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Trinity and Oneness. The two cannot be separated, which is why the Trinity cannot be comprehended by the human mind. The analogy of the egg, like all analogies of the Trinity, is inadequate. The yolk is only one part of the egg, and all parts must be present to have an egg, as you said. But God has no parts. There are three distinct Persons, each of whom is fully God, yet there is only one God. The Holy Spirit is not part of God. He is God. Likewise the Son and the Father. That is the great mystery of the Trinity, a core doctrinal belief of Christianity.

One of the most detailed statements of the Christian Church's teaching on the Trinity is contained in an ancient document called the Athanasian Creed, verses 3 through 28 ...

Answer 3

The trinity has been said to be the central theme of Christianity. If that were true, why is it a mystery that nobody understands? How then could it be the central theme of Christianity? The truth of the matter is that it is that the trinity is the figment of the imagination of Catholic clergymen who knew very little of the Bible. The trinity is based on the Catholic Athanasian Creed, not on the Bible. In part, it says: "Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. And the Catholic Faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not Three Gods, but One God. And in this Trinity none is afore or after Other, None is greater or less than Another, but the whole Three Persons are Co-eternal together, and Co-equal." Instead of giving scriptures to refute the trinity, I have decided to use the scriptures of those who believe in the trinity and see how they line up with the definition of the trinity. So far, ONLY ONE scripture has been posted in defense of the trinity. That verse is 1 John 5:7. There it reads in the KJB: "And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.” But the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, a these three are one" do not appear in the oldest Greek manuscripts. Hence the most modern Bible translations omit those words. The Bible edition by the Roman Catholic Episcopal Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine putting the words in brackets along with an explanatory footnote, as follows: “The Holy See reserves to itself the right to pass finally on the origin of the present reading.” If the trinity is the central theme of Christianity, there should be plenty of Bible verses quoted here by triitarians. But that is not the case. The truth of the matter is that the Bible does NOT suport the trinity. It says absolutely nothing about Jesus teaching his followers that God is triune and that he was God the Son, the second person of the triune godhead. The trinity is hard for anyone to understand. That reminds me of the confused beliefs of the Samaritans in Jesus' day. Jesus told a Samaritan woman: "You worship what you do not know." John 4:22. The same thing goes for trinity believers. Instead of explaining it in the light of the Bible, they simply call the trinity a "mystery." If one is to worship God with "spirit and truth," he must reject the trinity for what it really is--a man-made falsehood. John 4:24

Answer 4

Trying to use the egg illustration does not accurately describe God. It would be better to let His Word define who he is. At Ps. 83:18, Jehovah is described as the Most High. At John 17:3, Jesus described his Father as the only true God, thus excluding himself. Is Jesus also the Most High? Not according to what the angel told Mary. At Luke 1:32, he told her that Jesus would be called the Son of the Most High. Did Jesus ever claim to be God? No. At John 10:36, he called himself "God's Son," NOT God. Was Jesus equal to his Father? No! At John 14:28, he said: "The Father is greater than I am." Did Jesus know as much as his Father? No. At Matt. 24:36, he said there were things that only his Father knew.

God is not a trinity. It is a false teaching.

Answer 5

Peace!
Jesus Christ, the Word of God who became flesh. Jesus said the Father and I are one. So that's how I view God. I can see him, feel him, talk to him and imagine him.
I believe God sent his Son not only to atone for our sins but also to prove to everyone that He exists.

Answer 6

other.

Actually, a sock, I see it just the opposite way. God does not exist in every atom but rather every atom IS god. Meaning that everything that exists is one thing and everything we perceive is illusion. Such is the nature of the Quantum Singular Universe.

I am You, We are God.

Answer 7

Trinitarianism is a pagan concept which has no place in true belief. It is clear from Scripture that the Messiah is Almighty. It is also clear that when He was on earth He prayed to His Father in Heaven. Therefore in some sense they are two. In a very important sense they also are one. They are much more one than a husband and wife are one.

Answer 8

Think of every atom in the Universe. My idea of God exists in each atom. The natural Universe is the closest concept I can think of for God.

Answer 9

One of the basic characters of God as I beleive is is that he is the creator,so he must be different from his creations,he doesnt resemble any of his creations in any form,he is not formed of different perts because that mean that he could lose one of his parts or his parts will fight together and that does make him unperfect and subject to change ,how can him be a god then.

Answer 10

Sorry, but the egg idea is a heresy called "Modalism" or "Sabellianism" Condemned as heresy by Council in the first 200 years of Christendom.
