The Trinity... Why do religions believe that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all one person??

Question

When logically it's like saying that your mother, sister and yourself are all the same person but different?


Back it up with referneces if you can!!

Answer 1

A better example of the Holy Trinity is saying that all at the same time you are:
+ A mother to your child
+ A daughter to your parents
+ A sister to your siblings
You naturally behave differently in each of these roles, almost like three different persons.

The Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments.

Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 A.D. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed from that council:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him, all things were made. For us and our salvation, He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day, He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

The Bible shows very clearly that there is only one God, and yet that there are three personal distinctions in His complex nature, traditionally referred to as "three Persons in the Godhead"—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is distinct from the others but never acts independently. They are one in nature and purpose. This mystery is called the doctrine of the Trinity, though that term is not used in the Bible. The teaching, however, is present in seed form in the Old Testament and is revealed explicitly in the New Testament. Note passages such as Matthew 28:19; John 10:30, 14:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Our finite minds cannot understand or explain this mystery of God, which is nevertheless a fact. We must accept the truths found in the Word of God by faith even though we ourselves cannot comprehend them fully; read Hebrews 11:1,3,6 and 1 Corinthians 2:5-10;14; 13:12. It is really not surprising that the infinite God should be complex in His nature beyond the ability of finite humans to comprehend! This doctrine is absolutely essential to New Testament Christianity. Theologians have pointed out that if it were not true, the Bible would be unreliable, Christ would not be divine, and His death on the cross would not atone for our sins, being merely the death of a martyr.

Answer 3

You could say that I am 3 persons in one. I have a physical 'me', an intellectual 'me' and a spirit that is 'me'. My intellect is not all I am, neither is my body all I am, I am triune in nature.

This is also true for God. It is a little different with God, but the concept is the same. God is definitely 3 seperate persons, but still one 'God head'. Remember there are things about God that we will never fully understand. Our understanding is limited and we think in 3 dimensions. God is unlimited and "super-natural" or existing within and beyond our 3 dimensional natural world.

John 1 - "The Word was WITH God and the Word was GOD"

(John 14-17)
(Ephs 4)
(Acts 5)
(I Cor 12:11 etc.)
(Matt 28)
(2 Cor 13:14). "

Answer 4

This is a awesome ?.

Thanks for saving me the points lol.

I cannot figure this out. Jesus says in the bible when st john says you are good. Jesus respond and says why say that I am good. The father is good.

Better yet

Who was Jesus praying to himself?

Or when he said father why have you forsaken me

Was he talking to himself?

This is why I joined the Mormon or Lds church because they are almost the only church that does not believe in the Trinty and makes any sense off the bat.

Plus they are the only church that is setup like christs church in the primitive time.

Best of all GODS spirit backs this church up. Can any other church claim to hold the Melchezidec and Aronic keys to the ministry?

Besides the catholic church?

Who believes babys go to hell if not baptised
Or wear preachers cannot marry
Or that believes in the trinty
THE TRINTY MAKES NO SENSE!

Answer 5

Well, I found an example. It's like this: Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma are all parts of Featured Brahman. Although this is a little different because Hindus believe that Brahman is everything and is present in everything.

Answer 6

1 John 5:7
cuz God said nothing was made without jesus so He is obviously part of God and spirit is the mind of God....thats obvious cuz His thoughts become our thoughts when born again!!
Matt 28:19 baptize in the trinity

Answer 7

they are all in one and one in all
