If god can be a Trinity then what stops him from being thousands of forms ?

Question

Why be limited to only three ?


.

Answer 1

Nothing, really. If someone can make up a god in three parts, they can make one up in a thousand parts.

Answer 2

He is limited by the way in which he created man. (A limitation that he placed on himself).

According to Genesis 2:7, when God created man, it was in three parts. He made a 1)body from the elements of the earth, breathed into it the 2)spirit of life, and the results was a 3)living soul.

Man was made in three parts that each operate in a different "realm" or area of creation. The body interactions with the physical universe. The soul controls the heart, which is the mind, will and emotions. And the spirit communicates with God in the heavenly or spiritual realm. Three parts, in three realms, yet one being. Each "parts" is just as much "you" as any of the other two.

So God operates in each of those realms. God the Father dwells in the heavenly realm. God the Son became a servant, and then a human, - entering the physical realm - and gave his life to save mankind. And God the Holy Spirits resides in the hearts of those who are born again. Three realms, three parts of man, so three person to God. No more would be needed.

Answer 3

What do you think everything is? It all comes from God sending out the power of whatever God is.
Look at the trees when they are green from a distance. Focus your eyes at a spot just above them. Don't strain, just blink naturally. After a while you will see a milky glow all along the top of them. I can see the river too now, at sunset, and it looks like a fog on it.
But only while I practice my "seeing". Then it's gone.
I Samuel 9:9 says, "The prophets were first called seers!"

Answer 4

According to how we want to see God...God appears to us in those forms.

God really does exists (subjectively) in thousands of forms...many of those forms are within Christianity or any religion. People really do not agree on their concept of God.

I once had a girlfriend who was very lutheran...and she would go one about how they all believe the same thing and what her preacher and parents taught her. When I met her parents, the conversation went to God. As we dug into the idea...my then girlfriend was shocked to find her idea of God was not the same as either of her parents.

If the forms can different among family members in the same congregation and sect of a religion...how much more so across all off Christiandom or other religions.

We just arbitrarily select 3 (or more depending on religion) forms as common forms - but even those differ among believers.

Answer 5

Well, he's not referred to in any other way except those three, but it's an interesting theory. For all we know, the different "gods" in foreign religions could all be him in a different form. Not saying that's true, but you never know.

Answer 6

Indeed, as all is guesswork,why not see God as Hindus do as many gods. The problem of evil shows that God cannot be omni-max,but polytheism accounts for evil as gods competing with one another.

Answer 7

Everything that exists is a manifestaton of God, or more correctly The Creator.

Answer 8

I will try and be as brief here as possible as nobody likes to read long drawn out replies on Y! Answers to a question...

The trinity is a doctrine of confusion that puzzles many people even the ones who profess to believe in it.
Many people give up to try and define the trinity and instead resign to it being a mystery something you have to take on in a leap of faith that the churches of christendom are right. Some try and "logicalize" it by describing the trinity as like the 3 states of water as ice, liquid and vapour but still being water but these are the reasonings of men rather than the knowledge that God provided us of his inspired words found in the Bible.
Jesus himself gave knowledge to his divine standing even when he was a man on earth and other evidences can be taken to show that the trinity is a false teaching.

Firstly the ancient Jews never worshipped a trinity. They worshipped one God the Father. Now they were God's chosen people who one time had the truth of God and great leaders of faith such as Moses and David. They never worshipped a triune God.

Jesus himself never called himself equal with God either on the earth or when he was in heaven. In fact he clearly stated that his was lower than God.

Secondly God is the Grand Universal Creator and would not become Himself a creation. Also Jesus was loyal to God what hardship would it of been for Jesus to be loyal to God when Satan tested him if he was already God? For it is written it is impossible for God to sin for it reads in James 1:13 that with evil things God cannot be tried. Why would Satan waste his time trying as Satan knew who the true God was after all.
Some people will tell you that because God was weaker in the flesh that he was possibly corruptable but again that is human reasoning that's in opposition to the biblical scripture that with evil things God cannot be tried.

Jesus's parable of the weeds being sown with the wheat (Matthew 13:24-30) was prophetic of what would happen to christianity when the apostles would eventually all die. That false teachings would take place amongst the true teachings and people would be turned away to false ideas and make teachers for themselves and have their ears tickled as read in 2 Timothy 4:3.
After Christ's apostles died there came a period of spiritual darkness where christendom regularly became corrupted to bloodshed, tortures and unhealthy teachings. Even possession of a Bible had a penalty of death. Satan had planted his seeds of weeds into christendom.

The trinity became a wide spread doctrinal belief when Emporer Constantine in the 4th Century wanted to amalgamate the fragile Roman Empire of pagan religions to Christianity to hold it together. Where the Empire was losing power military wise Constantine tried to hold it together with religion. As the empire had many pagan gods that were worshipped then Constantine adapted Christendom so it was more "pagan friendly" so pagans would take up its form of christianity. Christmas was developed to replace the pagan worship of Saturnalia the winter Sun. Easter was developed to replace the pagan worship of Oester the pagan Godess of fertility and the trinity concept was developed to replace the pagan worship of triune gods.

As you can see the trinity not practiced by the ancient Israellites and taught by Jesus and not even described in the Bible had become a common teaching in christendom.

Answer 9

The same thing that stops you from being more. He is what he is. You are body and spirit and these are one soul. It is the image of God who is more than one part also.God is Father Son and Holy Spirit and these are one God.

Answer 10

Nothing. He can be whatever He wants to be. Just be glad He is the God that He is and He loves you and everyone else.
