What is The Trinity belief?

Question

What are the beliefs on who Jesus is.....Son of God?...Is God or one with God but seperate?....its confusing for me.

Answer 1

Physically, Jesus is the Son of God. But in addition to His physical Nature, Jesus also has a Divine Nature. That means He is also an ASPECT of the One True God.
The Bible clearly teaches that the Father is God. It also clearly teaches that the Son is God. And it even teaches clearly that the Holy Spirit is God. Trinitatian doctrine simply puts these three teachings together logically. But that's asking too much of some religious people, so the reject the idea entirely. As if they were smart enough to decide what the true Nature of God should be!.

Answer 2

God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).

There is only one God

The first step is to establish how many Gods exist: one! Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8; 45:5,14,18,21,22; 46:9; 47:8; John 17:3; 1 Cor. 8:5-6; Gal. 4:8-9
"I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God" (Isaiah 45:5).
“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me," (Isaiah 44:6).

"I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God, (Isaiah 55:5).

Therefore, the doctrine of the Trinity is arrived at by looking at the whole of scripture, not in a single verse. It is the doctrine that there is only one God, not three, and that the one God exists in three persons: Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. An analogy would be time. Time is past, present, and future. But, there are not three times, only one.

Answer 3

The Trinity is the belief that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three yet one. Three manifestations of the same God. They think alike, they speak alike, they act alike, and they never contradict each other. Therefore, they are One.

Answer 4

The concept of the Trinity is so big that we cannot fully understand it. We understand it somewhat. One way to look at it is this way:

There is One God - no doubt abuot that. God is the source of all, and we call Him 'Father'. He can also be called the 'Divine Mind'. The mind has ideas and thoughts. There is expression of the thoughts of the Divine Mind, and this is in Word. Jesus is called the Word. In the beginning of John, it says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God" Jesus is the expression, indeed, the Word Incarnate. The idea and the word are one. Now.. to express a word we use breath and voice as a carrier and generator. This is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit generates the Word from the Mind and so is Voice or breath.

In the book of Genesis, or beginnings,, it tells us that God spoke and his word became reality, concrete. 'Let there be light, and there was' The word 'light' represents the thought from the Divine Mind that was spoken in a word become concrete. At one point in time, He expressed Himself and also became concrete Word in reality as Jesus. So Jesus is the Image of God,, God in physical human form,, and so the verse that says that we are made in the image of God becomes that Jesus also became in our image as human.

His death was a physical death, death of his human self,, but of course God, as Spirit cannot die, and if God can speak a human life for himself once, he can do it again in a Resurrection.

So we have one God in 3 personas,,, Mind, Voice, Concrete Word,, Trinity

Answer 5

In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1

Jesus is the Word of God (the voice box of God, a part of God's being and played a part in the creation of the world in the very beginning). Jesus is also called the Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, The Christ, Immanuel (God is With us) etc.

John 1:14Then the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The flesh form of the Word was named a name higher than any other name which is Jesus/Immanuel (God is With Us).

Jesus needed to take on the coat of flesh for our salvation sake as God in His natural Spirit state cannot die but flesh can die. He needed to come in a different form to fulfill His promise of salvation for the world. Hope this helps

Answer 6

the trinity concept is as follows god the father god the son and god the holy spirit all three are one in the godhead i know it can be very confusing to people

Answer 7

the place did you pay attention that this text grew to become into extra later? Did a Jehovah's Witness inform you this? the respond is, "No, it grew to become into not extra later." that's chanced on interior the unique Latin Vulgate version (that's the 1st compilation of the classic texts into the Canon of the Holy Bible) and that's chanced on interior the Douay-Rheims Bible that's an on the spot translation into English from the Latin translation. it is likewise modern-day in each significant-line Catholic and Protestant Bible revealed to the reducing-component. the only signification omissions are chanced on interior the Protestant Bibles which pass over seven books out of the previous testomony, and that comedian strip of a Bible Jehovah's Witnesses use which exchange the Gospel of John to verify: "...and the be conscious grew to become into..."a"...god..." Jehovah's Witnesses upload the be conscious "a" the place it does not look interior the unique texts. They try this simply by fact Jehovah's Witnesses deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ (asserting he grew to become into not God yet Michael the Archangel and by some ability 'decrease than God' and that they deny the Holy Trinity. Jehovah's Witnesses are incorrect on all counts. H

Answer 8

i see it this way

you and i have a body, a mind(soul), and a spirit

3 in one and each has a function - so there it is God has three
distinct but the same - God the father, God the Son, and God the
Spirit.

you dont have to agree just another way to look at it.

Answer 9

It is an unscriptural teaching that God is 3 persons who are one God who can exist beside himself and know things he does not know and did die although he cannot die and was seen although he cannot be seen, and so on. No wonder people are confused.

Answer 10

Everybody know that this is stupid, they just don't want to admit. The whole trinity thing was made up by church fathers to
1) make christianity look less polytheistic/pagan
2) make Jesus more important. (how could they argue that their god can kick everybody else's god's ***, if he was clearly inferior to his father to name one)
