this time would those who believe in the trinity actually answer...?

Question

mark 13:32
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

If the father and son the holy spirit are part of a "trinity" an entity of one, how does one withold information from the other? wouldnt that make each of them seperate entities and thus concluding that if Jesus is not God then praying to him is idolatry?

good answer bubba, u win the prize for the most useless answer ever. ^^

LOL im aware of that deidre, (sorry if i sp ur name wrong) - but that would be saying god has that. which im not ruling out either...

Answer 1

Amen. They have no answer. It's not true . I dated a guy ,who was going to be a priest or something like that. He could explain it either. They call it a Mystery. It's has 2 or 3 scriptures that make them believe this , trinity belief. GOD BLESS

Answer 2

Jesus took on the role of son and servant to the Father by choice. Jesus is not just the same as God, He is God. God in the form of the son, servant, to be an example for us. Father in the form or role of creator and Ruler. Holy Spirit in the role of the God that indwells in us all, yet all the same God. The trinity is misunderstood in the Father being at the top of the pyramid, and the Son and Spirit a the bottom, it is like a shamrock. three leaves, each equally important. Or picture a wheel divided into three parts, yet the wheel is rotating. bottom is top, and top is bottom, etc. etc.

Any Christian who thinks Jesus is lesser than the Father is mistaken. Read John 1:1. He was there in the beginning, and nothing was created without Him.

Maybe a better example. Heart, Brain, and Lungs. Brain tells the heart and lungs what to do, but without the lungs to draw in oxygen and the heart to distibute it through the body the brain could not exist. All of our essential organs play a part, and one may seem more important than the other, yet the others cannot exist on their own.

Answer 3

The Triunity of God can be likened to a plant. Stem, leaf, and root constitute but one plant; each has a distinction incommunicable to the other two; none is the plant without the other two; each with the other two is the plant.

Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are ONE GOD; each has a property incommunicable to the other two; none is God without the other two; each with the other two is God.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, not physically, but spiritually. Christians do not believe God created a Son, but the Son was before the creation. Some people think that when God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ, He actually came down and left His throne for the time He was on earth. That is why they argue that if Jesus is God, who was running the Universe when he was in the womb of Mary, and who raised Him up from the dead?

The answer is that God never left His throne. Yet, how could it be that God was on His throne and at same time on earth? The Bible teaches that God is Omnipresent. (Universally present). Acts 17 v 27-28
Acts 7 verses 48-49
1 Kings 8 verse 27
Isaiah 66 v 1
Jeremiah 23 v 24.
This means that for God being on the throne of the universe and being in Christ at the same time is not impossible, because God is Spirit. We must understand that at the incarnation, it was not a matter of Christ becoming God. Christ is the eternal God, but the Incarnation is a matter of God becoming man in Christ, as Charles Wesley expressed it,
OUR GOD CONTRACTED TO A SPAN, INCOMPREHENSIBLY MADE MAN.

Answer 4

There's that old saying; With God all things are possible. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.Maybe he made them forget? There are different interpretations about who is what. There is the number three as; Past, present and future. So, I guess the number one represents God and all things.The Holy spirit can represent his will or actions throughout time and space and the Son is and was a programed existence or representation of him in the physical. So he is both here and there without time constraints.Jesus said to love God above all other things.People who believe their faith is controlled by the physical presence of a cross is more similar to idolatry. When you pray it usually isn't a physical action as much as it is a spiritual one. If it bothers you so much, just pray to God. I'm sure Jesus would forgive you.

Answer 5

The son is the Living Word of the Father;
The Word is not to contain that precise information, because the second coming will be as a thief in the night; you are not to know that exact hour. What this means is that the Word will not contain that. I assure you, Jesus knows exactly when it will happen, its just that we don't.
As a side-note: We don't have the name of the day or the number of the hour, but Christ did give us the seasons; there is a wealth of information pointing to the day and time, if you have eyes to see, and ears to hear.
Example: 3 1/2 days after the two witnesses are killed in the arena set up in Jerusalem, Christ will return. Do ya got a watch?

Answer 6

If this is such a problem for you, then perhaps you have a good idea about Dissociative Identity Disorder; a condition where one being has multiple minds, which are not necessarily connected. The body, while under control of one part of the mind performs an act, where another part of the mind has no recollection.

This condition, while pathological, shows that the human mind is capable of such separation.

It might be possible that the three entities which make up the "godhead" could exhibit such a quality in a manner which is part of that entity, that is not pathological.

That's only one possible answer from someone who isn't even Christian. These "ah-ha" moments of profound understanding of scripture by those working against it have already been discovered and answered by prominent apologists. You've found nothing new.

Answer 7

There is no such word as "trinity" in the bible that is a man made word. You can read the whole bible and trinity is no where in it. That is why it confuses people so much. They are all one in a since because the holy spirit is the Spirit of God that he uses to communicate with you, so actually it is God and Jesus is Gods son that he sent down to earth to save us Because there was no other way God could actually save us without sending someone who was proof that he existed so people would believe in him

Answer 8

God the Father, God the Holy Spirit and God the Son are one. God the Father reveals to the Son what He would have the Son know. God is God, and what we cannot fathom with our finite minds must then be turned over to the faith part. Good Question.

Answer 9

You have described a problem which actually doesn't exist. When Christ took on human flesh He voluntarily surrendered some of His divine attributes. Now the unfathemable God is contained in Mary's womb. Now the One who is all powerful gets hungry according to His human nature. Now the One who holds all power to Himself voluntarily permits men to abuse Him.

Thus, when Christ says in His human nature that not even the Son knows the day nor the hour, he speaks the truth. When He ascended into heaven and is given the place of glory, now He does know all things including the day and the hour. It's really not that difficult if you understand that Christ is of two natures: Divine and Human.

Answer 10

the trinity can be explained like this...

three in one...you can be a father and a son can't you? and you can also be a brother right? like a mother, daughter, sister...etc.

in this god is a father, son and a holy spirit. there is no idolatry because he is not worshiping himself or a part of himself or you a part of him, if you worship god you worship all three but its the same person.
