Christianity, dont make sense?

Question

What is all this about the trinity:
God the Father
God the Son
The Holy Spirit

So your saying God is a son, how can that be possible


You say Jesus is the son of god, how is that possible, if God can have a "son", than that makes him equal to us mere humans,

Can anyone explain this issues?

Answer 1

There are many things in nature that the smartest scientists cannot explain , and you want some Joe on Yahoo to touch upon the unfathomable depths of the mysteries of The Holy Trinity? Some things just have to be believed.

Answer 2

"So your saying God is a son, how can that be possible"
What the Trinity says is that there is one God who is three "Persons", the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Father is not the Son, and neither one is the Holy Ghost, yet all three "Persons" are one God.

"if God can have a "son", than that makes him equal to us mere humans,"
It is, in a sense, a figure of speech, since Jesus was not begotten by sexual means. It is an attempt to explain a relationship between the two that has no human equivalent, with the Father-Son being the closest we humans can relate to.

Answer 3

God is superhuman after all he created the universe and everything in it- simply put - when God wanted to come down to earth he 'put on' a human suit from his wardrobe and came down to earth but had to be born as a human from the Virgin Mary in order to manifest and be acknowledged that the baby was the Messiah - if he appeared as he normally is he would be so bright it would blind us, (power and pureness,energy etc), when God was born as a human from Mary he became God (and Marys) SON Jesus, when Jesus was put to death on the cross and paid a debt no one else would could or want to pay, it had to happen and be paid by someone who had lived a pure and righteous life on earth, (thats why God manifested himself into a human and born a virgin birth) when Jesus was buried, 3 days later rose again, because GOD who IS now also JESUS who cannot die, even though his Physical body did die, JESUS' spirit did not, and when he went up to heaven to sit on the right hand of authority with GOD he also became the Holy Ghost/SPIRIT

All 3 are the same but can also exist as seperate beings.
does it make sense.....
God the father
God the son -Jesus
God the Holy Spirit

Answer 4

No-one on this planet can explain anything to you without you submitting to their authority.
All through the ages people have submitted themselves to other people who have been given the label 'teacher' yet the knowledge they were teaching is always revised when the next generation comes along. So you can be certain that what you submit your mind to today, to whomever you think has an authoritative voice, will be trashed by events and discoveries tomorrow.

Why ask other people about God? What's the point when you know there is a high probability you are not going to get an answer that concords with your own logic and reason? And even if you did get an answer that rang true with your own prejudices (please don't tell me you have a blank mind without any preconcepts - p l e a s e) does this accord with the truth or just two people agreeing with each and finding a common identity?

Churches happen because people find a common identity but if you walk into a church with an identity that does not accord with theirs you quickly find out the difference between being taught by men and being taught by God. Do you understand the illustration?

My advice to you, little flower, is to seek God yourself and ask him to teach you. He hasn't delegated the role of teacher to someone else, this is a man made concept - big mega bucks business, nothing to do with God. God doesn't need human testimonies, he's got his own. Christ is God's personal testimony. He is the teacher. An innocent man who was killed by teachers who felt threatened by him because he had the truth and they hadn't. Who bounced back from death to continue teaching a world that is incapable of teaching anything but a shared knoweldge about things that pass away.

"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

Answer 5

We are constantly trying to put God into human terms so we can understand it, and there are some things that just do not work.
You either believe or you dont, faith by definition is belief in a system that cant be proven.
There are a lot of references in the Bible, covering many generations, from both testaments that explain this but, again, you either believe or you dont.

Answer 6

God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit
3 in 1
All have different functions
but all are God.

The same as
H2o
Water
Steam
Ice
All have different functions
but all H2o

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’

- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll

Answer 8

I would have to agree with you on this one. The “Christian” trinity does not make any sense and it is truly a mystery that cannot be answered from the Word of God.

The “trinity” is not a Christian doctrine nor belief. It is a form of pagan worship that was adopted by the early catholic church in order to increase their ranks and gain in power. It is the foundation of all their dogmas.
The Bible plainly states that there is only One God and that God is the Father of Jesus Christ.
99% of the people have been duped into believing in the “trinity” and they do not even believe or know that they are worshipping Satan himself.


There is more that can be said.

Answer 9

God can.

Why don't you seek Him?

After all He knows.



For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Answer 10

God in 3 persons. He says it, I believe it, that settles it. He says it, you don't believe it, that really settles it.

What else do we know about that has 3 forms. H2O????
h2o the liquid, h2o the solid, and h2o the vapor.

Jesus said it in matthew 28:19 when He mentioned all 3 persons of the Godhead.
