No. There is that about the Father that distinguishes Him from the Son and Spirit, and there is that about the each of the others that distinguishes them from any of the others. The Father is the Begetter; the Son is the Begotten; and the Holy Ghost is the One proceeding from the Father and Son. Their office work in dealing with mankind is very different from one another but they are all three of the same type of makeup/Essence. There is ONE GOD revealed in three distinct Persons (personalities) and each has His own job function. Again the egg: it is just ONE egg but the yoke serves a distinct function from the white and the shell serves a distinct function from the other two. So it is with God.

Yes. The Trinity will have you believe that Jesus is the Son and his own Father at the same time. The trinity has blinded the minds of its believers. For instance, John 3:16, 17 CLEARLY says who came to earth. Was It God? No. It says God sent his Son to earth. So, then, who came to earth? God? Or his Son? Amazingly, trinitarians will insist that it was God who came in the form of his own Son. That means the Son is his own Father and that the Father is his own Son.
Fortunately, that is not what the Bible says. It says that God sent his only-begotten Son to earth. Jesus confirmed this at John 17:3 that his Father, the only true God, had sent him. What can be more simple than that?
And if the holy spirit is God, why does it not know the day and the hour" like the Father? Matt. 24:36

Bam stated: theory interior the Trinity IS Christianity. something that calls itself Christian and does not include the reality of the trinity is a pretend, an imposter...a cult. Do you have ANY scriptures to returned that up, Bam? i can assert superb now which you do not; what you're conversing is utter nonsense. That the doctrine of the Trinity replace right into an prolonged, sluggish, hotly-contested progression is very glaring from church historic previous. That the present doctrine of the Trinity replace into the coaching of the early church interior the 1st century is an absurdity interior the face of church historic previous. it may well be impossible for the Apostolic Church to show a doctrine that replace into in basic terms attained after countless centuries of doctrinal evolution, church council debates, compromises, and mergers and divisions of ecclesiastical positions. whilst the Apostolic Age closed, the doctrine of emblems-Christology, Arianism and the Trinity weren't yet invented or stepped forward. on the tip of the 1st century the Christian international believed that the daddy, Son, and the Holy Spirit have been manifestations of one individual: God. The Protestant church homes for the main area inherited the doctrines of Catholicism, and besides the fact that Luther and different reformers took up the cry "returned to the Bible," none of them got here across their way thoroughly returned to the Apostolic doctrines. Traditions are confusing to overturn; rather in the event that they're tied in with faith -- and rather if the custom is "stated" to be the two biblical and needed. it is even truer if the doctrine is asserted to be a secret which will not be able to be understood, isn't rational, and yet could be believed with out question. Such is the doctrine of the Trinity.

The only way we can look upon the Father is by looking upon the Son. The Father is an all-consuming fire - Spirit. He burned the mountain when He came down to meet Moses. He must empty Himself to be the part Jesus portrays of Him. I believe man can only see God as Jesus and man can only have Christ in us by means of the Holy Spirit. For us to have involvement with God, it takes Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
What you have said is exactly correct. I believe there is more to God but God gives us only what we need to know. What I am saying is that I believe God is more than 3 entities, but we can't even handle the three.

Father = teacher
Son = student
Spirit = intent
Student becomes father and intent is what changes his actions. Anyone who learns a better way usually feels the spirit's knock to teach it to someone else.

Yes that's what some churches teach, but it's not a teaching in the bible, God and Jesus are two seperate spirit creatures and the holy spirit is God's active force.

no. That would not be Trinity. The belief in the trinity means that one God is in three separate persons.

Here we go.The concept of the Trinity is three persons,one essence.One God, three "manifestations".It is really hard to get our comparativly feeble minds around.This is probably why God doesn't bother to try to explain it in the scriptures,because, really, could a worm understand the complexities of a man?
