If God says he is not Jesus and Jesus says he is not God then how can there be a Trinity?

Answer 1

i personally think that i jesus was god he would have stated it more clearly and not left his people read between the lines. why would it be so difficult.
there is no god but one, he does not eed a partner because obviously he is god. anyways, jesus is his prophet and god gave him miracles to prove to the people that he was sentby god. but whatever happens people tend to distort the message.
i hold all respect to ST paul and constintine, they both had good intentions, but they both distorted the bible, the true word of god to make it eaier to non monotheist to get involved in the religion.

we all know that the true message of jesus was to worship god, and his mentioning himself as son of gos was metaphorcal.according ton the updated bble, he also said we are all sons of god, should we take that literally too!!!
im sure god wouldnt like to confuse people like that, at least something as confusing would have been made clear.

come on when u pray to god, u do feel there is one power out there, one, one one, not threee. its got mixed up with paganism.

Answer 2

The Trinity teaching predates Christianity. It is unscriptural. If you read the gospels you have to believe that either there is no way the trinity exists or Jesus had a psychotic disorder.

He has said "The father is greater than I am", "I do nothing of my own initiative but do the will of him that sent me", "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Haz the Preacher: With respect, the fact that Jesus said "before Abraham was I was" in no way indicates he is claiming to be God. Jesus was God's only begotten son...the first born of all creation. He had therefore existed before ANY human "was." That is indeed accurate and cannot be cited as proof that he is God.

Answer 3

No where in the Bible does it say that God said He wasn't Jesus or that Jesus said that He wasn't God.

The Trinity is - The Father God, The Son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit.

Answer 4

Apparently, the Trinity rejects monotheistic concept of God. But it has always been a problem to explain the Trinity. The Unitarian Church has never accepted this and they were a persecuted group of Christians, on this account.

Answer 5

God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit are One.

Answer 6

Sir, you misunderstand the doctrine of the Trinity.

God Is Three Persons.The fact that God is three persons means that the Father is not the Son; they are distinct persons. It also means that theFather is not the Holy Spirit, but that they are distinct persons. And it means that the Son is not the Holy Spirit. In addition to the fact that all three personsare distinct, the abundant testimony of Scripture is that each person is fully God as well. Scripture is abundantly clear that there is one and only one God. The three different persons of the Trinity are one not only in purpose and in agreement on what they think, but they are one in essence, one in their essential nature. In other words, God is only one being.There are not three Gods. There is only one God.

The duality of Christ's nature, human and divine, cannot be fully and definitively answered. If we could, we would possess divine minds ourselves. That said, we theologians have made progress at trying to understand the concepts of the Trinity of God and God the Son's role in that Trinitarian doctrine. There are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one true, eternal God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; although distinguished by their personal properties. Jesus clearly stated his divinity in Joh 8:58: Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." The Jews hearing his claim understood exactly what He was saying and planned to stone Him.

In short, Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.

I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm

I suggest you start there to dig deeper into this topic.

Answer 7

There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 14:7.)

Answer 8

You already know the answer to this. You have been on this site for months, maybe years...and its been addressed many times. You also know that not all Christians believe in the trinity. You are more obsessed with it than most of us are.

For the sake of comforting you...just assume there is GOD, he is GOD and take it at face value.

Answer 9

Where do either of them say that they are not the other? If anything Jesus quite frankly speaks that he is God by saying "Before Abraham was, I am" so.... yeah...

Answer 10

a married man is not his wife, and a married woman is not her husband. a child is not his mother or his father, but the three together are a family.

the three can be one, while being seperate.

the same goes for the father, the son, and the holy spirit
