Does anybody have any examples of the Trinity?

Question

I'm a Christian and I was just wondering if anyone had any good examples!

Answer 1

Take somebodies father
All at the same time he is a father, son, and brother and like wise his roles change from being a father, son, and brother just like God. Also no matter what happens he will always be those things no matter what. even when through death he will still be somebodies father,son, and brother

Answer 2

St. Patrick used the clover to illustrate the Trinity. He was converting the Celts.

Also a triangle- a very good illustration of the Trinity. God the Father is at the top, God the Son (at the right bottom corner) and God the Holy Spirit (at the bottom left corner). I may be wrong about where God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are on the triangle. :) It's been a long time since I was in Religion Class in grade school.

Answer 3

Look at this information.
God Is One, Not Three




THE Bible teaching that God is one is called monotheism. And L. L. Paine, professor of ecclesiastical history, indicates that monotheism in its purest form does not allow for a Trinity: "The Old Testament is strictly monotheistic. God is a single personal being. The idea that a trinity is to be found there . . . is utterly without foundation."

Was there any change from monotheism after Jesus came to the earth? Paine answers: "On this point there is no break between the Old Testament and the New. The monotheistic tradition is continued. Jesus was a Jew, trained by Jewish parents in the Old Testament scriptures. His teaching was Jewish to the core; a new gospel indeed, but not a new theology. . . . And he accepted as his own belief the great text of Jewish monotheism: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one God.'"

Those words are found at Deuteronomy 6:4. The Catholic New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) here reads: "Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one, the only Yahweh."* In the grammar of that verse, the word "one" has no plural modifiers to suggest that it means anything but one individual.

The Christian apostle Paul did not indicate any change in the nature of God either, even after Jesus came to the earth. He wrote: "God is only one."—Galatians 3:20; see also 1 Corinthians 8:4-6.

Thousands of times throughout the Bible, God is spoken of as one person. When he speaks, it is as one undivided individual. The Bible could not be any clearer on this. As God states: "I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory." (Isaiah 42:8) "I am Yahweh your God . . . You shall have no gods except me." (Italics ours.)—Exodus 20:2, 3, JB.

Why would all the God-inspired Bible writers speak of God as one person if he were actually three persons? What purpose would that serve, except to mislead people? Surely, if God were composed of three persons, he would have had his Bible writers make it abundantly clear so that there could be no doubt about it. At least the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures who had personal contact with God's own Son would have done so. But they did not.

Instead, what the Bible writers did make abundantly clear is that God is one Person—a unique, unpartitioned Being who has no equal: "I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. With the exception of me there is no God." (Isaiah 45:5) "You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth."—Psalm 83:18.

Answer 4

The reality of the Holy Trinity can be easily modelled by using basic mathematics:

1 X 1 X 1 = 1.

See how simple that was?

Answer 5

No, because the trinity is not a Bible teaching. The trinity includes the following definite ideas:

1. There are said to be three divine persons—the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit—in the Godhead.

2. Each of these separate persons is said to be eternal, none coming before or after the other in time.

3. Each is said to be almighty, with none greater or lesser than the other.

4. Each is said to be omniscient, knowing all things.

5. Each is said to be true God.

6. However, it is said that there are not three Gods but only one God.

Can you 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? NO!

Can you 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? NO!

The reason the Bible does not clearly teach the Trinity doctrine is simple: It is not a Bible teaching. Had God been a Trinity, he would surely have made it clear so that Jesus and his disciples could have taught it to others. And that vital information would have been included in God’s inspired Word. It would not have been left to imperfect men to struggle with centuries later.

Answer 6

Look at three separate pictures on a wall but those three pictures make up 1 scene ... You probably know somebody or maybe you have a pictures like that in your own home? That is the simplest way I know how to explain it ...

I have a friend that is Mormon and she asked me to describe the trinity...And She had a set of three pictures that made up 1 scene in her garage so I was able to show her as well as explain to her that Father son and holy spirit are 3 different entities but they are all 1 as a whole..Does that make sense?

Answer 7

Is "God" a plant, or is he a leaf?

The clover is the most non-answer in the history of Christianity. The trinity was the result of 400 years of internal debate. Read all about it.

Answer 8

I would've e-mailed you but I couldn't, so:

1 John 5:7-8
Philippians 2:5-8 tells God becoming human (Christ)
John 1 talks about Jesus being with God since the beginning and "is God." JWs will tell you a misinterpretation of this verse from THEIR Bible (New World Translation) which CHANGED it to say Jesus was "a god" rather than God.

Answer 9

The only trinity I've found in the bible is this:

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.

Even if ‘Sam’ is a Grandfather, Father, and Son, Sam still has only one will, unless he is mentally disturbed or Sam is three different individuals. Sam Sr., Sam Jr., & Sam III.

It is by God’s will we have salvation.

Answer 10

I like using the example of the Sun. Our sun is a Star, it gives us Light, and it gives us Heat. One object, three separate manifestations
