Do you believe in the Christian Trinity?

Question

I think it is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (Father Son and Holy Spirit)...do you believe in it? And if you do, are they "one" or physically seperate? How do you perceive them?Does the Bible explain what it means or just makes references to all three? Any information you have please share...And also how important is the Trinity in your religion?

Answer 1

The human brain is not designed to understand Trinity. We can only understand upto 3 dimentional world. God is beyond that.
But the very special thing is. It is just by the power given to us - Faith

By Faith you'll understand the Holy Trinity.
If only you wont limit your believe in human knowledge then you'll see.

The bible is not the right reference for seeking the truth. There is still something that has much authority over the bible. That is the Church founded by Jesus. Jesus didn't write the bible but build the Church.

Answer 2

The trinity is 100% false...Its false because of the following reasons:

1. Jesus never once taught the trinity to any man on earth.
2. When Jesus was on earth he gave all praise to Jehovah
3. God cannot die, Jesus did.
4. God was always here Jesus was born
5. When Jesus was on earth why did he pray? Jehovah God doesn't have to pray.

Please read your bibles and ask yourself the following questions as you search for the trinity.

1. Can I find any scripture that mentions “Trinity”?

2. Can I find any scripture that says that God is made up of three distinct persons, Father, Son, and holy spirit, but that the three are only one God?

3. Can I find any scripture that says that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom?

Answer 3

I would like to address the " And also how important is the Trinity in your religion? " part of your question.

I don't have a religion right now but it's still important to me.
It is only a doctrine of faith with almost all Christian religions and yet has little bearing on what they do from day to day.
Yet, it seem so very important to them that everyone believes it. It can divide people bitterly. WHY?

Is it because many of the ancient "pagan" religions of Egypt, Babylonia, etc. believed in several trinities? To the point that God found it necessary to state quite clearly to the Hebrews (long before Jesus was born) that "your God is one". That would have been the perfect opportunity to say "your God is one, three in one", but alas He didn't.

So, why is it so important? If it is a lie, well then that is important. If it confuses the creator with false god's then that is important. I hope the Pope doesn't read this.

Answer 4

I don't believe in the Trinity. I believe in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, but they are separate beings with one purpose.

Christ said: The Father is greater then I (John 14:28). If He were God himself, He wouldn't say that the Father was greater. He would say they were equal, or the same. There are also times when Christ identifies Himself as The Son. If He were God, He wouldn't call Himself the Son, He would say He was God.

There is also the story of Stephen seeing Christ on the right hand of God (Acts 7:55,56), so to me, this shows that God and Christ are separate in being, separate bodies, but one in purpose.

The concept of Christ and God being separate is not a new one. The jews believed it. They pictured God whom they worshipped as having a body and mind like our own, though transcending humanity in the splendour of his appearance, in his power, his wisdom, and the constancy of his care for his creatures.

The concept of the Trinity didn't come about until the 4th and 5th centuries, well after the time of Christ. Before that, there was speculation as to the nature of God. Constantine saw this as a problem that could divide his nation, so he called a counsel to bring together all the religious leaders of the day. He told them that until they came up with a solution to all the fighting, they would be stuck there. So they hashed, re-hashed, fought, cussed and discussed the true meaning and nature of God. Until they finally came up with the concept of the trinity. It wasn't put into practice as doctrine until later.

Some members of this counsel didn't agree with the statement of the trinity, and they were later excommunicated for their beliefs.

Today, the concept of the trinity has been so ingrained in some churches, that it is taught as total and complete doctrine, that it always has been and always will be the way it is. They are taught that God is not understandable, thus making Him appear to be beyond comprehension. We may not know everything that God does, but God can be understood, and comprehended. It's just all in what you decide you want to learn about Him.

Answer 5

I believe in the Most Holy Trinity, which is the one true God! (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are three seperate individual beings that are eternally united by a single nature/essence)

The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire. The divine persons are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. God is one but not solitary. While they are called three SEPERATE persons in view of their relations, we believe in one nature or substance that share one will. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not three principles of creation but one principle. However, each divine person performs the common work according to his unique personal property. One God and Father, from whom all things are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and one Holy Spirit in whom all things are. Everyone who glorifies the Father does so through the Son in the Holy Spirit; everyone who follows Christ does so because the Father draws him and the Spirit moves him

Answer 6

authentic Christians do no longer believe interior the trinity because of the fact Christianity's founder, Jesus Chrisrt, in no way taught it. in accordance to the trinity, God exists as 3 co-equivalent, co-eternal persons. this variety of perception without delay contradicts Jesus' words that his Father is the only authentic God. (John 17:3)

Answer 7

There is no simple answer to this question. One clue is that all three of them have the same attributes - Eternity, Holiness, Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence and etc.

hfghsshgsfg -- you are confused. If you study the Hebrew word for God in the first chapter of Genesis you would know it is Eloyhim which denotes plurality in the Godhead. Even the Jewish Scholars will admit to this but still deny the divinity of Christ. It doesn't make sense for them to deny it but they do.

There are Old Testament and New Testament proof texts - you need to study all the scriptures concerning this vital doctrine of the Christian faith - not just the ones that support your personal position. You cannot do that without acknowledging the Trinity.

Answer 8

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit - thats right.

I do believe in it 100%.
God the Father -Heaven-
God the Son -Jesus on earth-
God the Holy Spirit -God in our hearts-
They are separate but they are also ONE.

God can be anywhere He wants and He can be whoever He wants. He can separate Himself into three different things too.
The trinity is 100% important. You're not a Christian if you don't believe the Trinity.

John1:1 in the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was GOD.

Revelation 19:11-13 (English-KJV)
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.
With justice he judges and makes war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,"

2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."

Colossians 1:12-16 (English-NIV)
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

Answer 10

Of course not.

There is no such thing as the Trinity, This is largest lie that Satan uses to keep people from knowing who the True God is, if he can do this, he's got you.

.He has cleverly kept a large proportion of mankind in darkness by means of false religion, making them think that they are serving God. Lacking in accurate knowledge of God and in love for truth, they may be attracted by mystical and emotional religious services or be impressed by powerful works.

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?

Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?

1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.

Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,

Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;


Rev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, why did God have to give the revelation to Jesus, if he is God? .

Does the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)

John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”

1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.

A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.
