is the doctrine of the Trinity possible?

Answer 1

Yes. example, as a painter reveals part of himself, his style, what he is, etc., in his painting, so too, God has revealed part of Himself, His style, and what He is in His creation. Creation reflects, to a large degree, the qualities of God Himself. Let's take a look.

-The universe is ordered; therefore, we know that God is a God of order.
-The universe operates on laws; therefore, God is a God of law.
-The universe has a beginning; therefore, God is the creator.
-In mathematics, there is an infinity of numbers. In the universe there is an infinity of distance; Therefore, God the creator of the universe, is infinite.
-Absolute truths exist in creation, (i.e., something can not be both itself and not itself at the same time); therefore, God is absolute truth.
-The universe is comprised of three primary aspects: Space, Time, and Matter.
Space is comprised of height, width, and depth - a trinity - but each aspect is by nature space.
-Time is comprised of past, present, and future - a trinity - but each aspect is by nature time.
-Matter is comprised of solid, liquid, and gas - a trinity - but each aspect is by nature matter.

Therefore, we can conclude from looking at the universe, and God as its creator, that it is possible for God to have a trinitarian aspect to His nature since we see it in nature.
If it is fair to say that God may indeed be trinitarian in some aspect of His nature, then God could easily be trinitarian in nature and still be the one and only God.
God could easily be a plurality and all aspects of this plurality, being of God, would be divine by nature.
Since God is self-aware, has a will, can speak, etc., then it follows that the plural aspects of God could share, in some way, those same qualities.

If this is possible, then why cannot part of God, since God is a plurality, become a man and add human nature to itself?

We can see that there are trinities in nature. So, why can't God be a trinity as well and creation simply be a reflection, in part, of His greatness? It is certainly possible. If the Trinity were illogical, then the possibility would not exist. There is no logical reason why the trinity can not be a reality. It is up to the Muslim to demonstrate a logical contradiction regarding the doctrine of one God in three persons. Simply stating it isn't logical or that it isn't possible proves nothing at all.

The Bible has declared that God is indeed a Trinity and that Jesus is both God and man (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9; etc.). Christians have a living redeemer. Christians have God as their savior.

Answer 2

There are many things in the world that are "impossible" but true. What makes something impossible? Simply that I don't know how or why it is possible. It is impossible for water to exist in all three forms in the same place at the same time. Yet, I have seen it; and even if you haven't, you know they all exist.

Your knowledge, like everyone's, is finite. It is limited. It is based in limitations of the perceivable 4 dimensions. Scientists have often struggled with this. Not many people know that Newton was a very serious theologian. He, like other scientists concluded that the Trinity was a false doctrine.

But, like most people, he based that on his understanding of the "known" laws of the universe. The problem is that God is not bound within this universe. He is outside of the time and space of this world. So, he is not subject to it's limitations.

The Bible says that the entire universe fits into the "span" of his hand. In other words, the whole universe is like a kids nerf ball to God. He is not limited by it. He is not within it. It is his to use as he wills.

We tend to think of God as though we are ants, trying to see and understand a person. It's more like we are amoebas and God is the Sun. We experience the effect of God, but we have no spiritual eyes to see him.

This is one of the reasons we must simply accept his word by faith. God describes himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He does not confuse those persons, but declares each person is God and that God is one. TriUnity. I can't figure it out, I just accept it.

Answer 3

The only trinity found in the bible:

Harper’s Bible Dictionary

Baal / Bel ,

translates into English as Lord

offspring of El, (Hebrew for God)

worshiped as a triad / trinity.

Where did I hear this teaching recently?

Sounds like a teaching of Satan, What do you think?

Who is fulfilling this prophecy?

(Jeremiah 23:27) 27 They are thinking of making my people forget my name by means of their dreams that they keep relating each one to the other, just as their fathers forgot my name by means of Ba´al.

By teaching Jehovah is a trinity many are fulfilling Jer. 23:27

The answer is yes for Baal,

No for Jehovah. John 17:3

Answer 4

No. there is no such thing as trinity. You can't even find it in the Holy Bible. There is ONLY 1 God, who is the Father, the creator of all including the son and the holy spirit.

Answer 5

the trinity is merely God. He is the Father, Came to earth in the flesh as the Son, and Covers His elect with His Holy Spirit

Answer 6

Absolutely! Consider an egg... it is three in one! You have the Yolk, the white and the shell! All three make one entity! This is the same for the Trinity...God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!!

Answer 7

Yes...there is a section in Acts that connects Jesus and the Holy Spirit as one. I can't recall the verse right now. In addition to that, Jesus Himself said that He and the Father are one. It also says in John, "the Word was God." Jesus is the "Word" that it is talking about here.

Answer 8

To the human mind? Not really. But God isn't a human

Answer 9

No"never

Answer 10

the egg really doesnt fit this description.
