Can a Christian please explain the Trinity to me in a logical and easily understandable way?

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

Trinity is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is three persons in one God who is truly exists.

Everything we see - the earth, the sky, the sea - are gifts of God the Father to us. He created us.

God as Son of God, Jesus Christ, is the one who came to earth to be our friend and brother and to die for our sins.

God's spirit, the Holy Spirit gives life to us, forgives our sins,
and gives us hope of life forever.

Whoever shall believe and honour this Holy Trinity shall not be perished.

Answer 2

No it is impossible as the trinity doctrine is not bible based.
In fact the word trinity doesn't even exist in the bible.

It is believed that the trinity doctrine , a pagan idea and teaching, was officially accepted as Christian in the middle of the first century , but Jesus and the appostles definitely were under no such misunderstanding.

To worship God in truthfullness you cannot follow the trinity doctrine.

Answer 3

the trinity is not an exclusively christian belief, but it is among the most recent religion to use the concept. paganism has the maid, mother and hag. norse mythology has the 3 norns.
the norns represent past, present and future, maid mother and hag are on a similar vain, but in a slightly different context. 3 stages in life, and the learning that goes along with age. christianity joined in with the old lad, the young buck, an the spook. effectively, its christianities slant on whan was already there.

Answer 4

Ever known two people that seemed to have the same mind? For examples, I have witnessed a wife stopping in the middle of a rather strenuous convo with five other people to yell at her husband in the bathroom, behind a closed door, to stop scratching his ear because it was making HER ear itch. My dad, who spent half of his life at sea, could not recall a single time that he had come home unexpectedly, even in the wee hours of the morning, and not found Mom up making coffee for his unannounced arrival. And then there's that thing with congenital twins.......
Imagine that sort of single-minded relationship perfected, but within the spiritual realm. Are the entities, in this case three of them, the same entity? No, not technically... but Jesus said that He did what He -SAW- the Father do, and the Holy Spirit's omnipresent omniscience could only come from being of that same mind-link with The Father, don't you think?
Jesus also said "He that hath seen ME hath seen The Father", and " I and The Father are One"; these are hard sayings which the average human mind is incapable of fully grasping, having no comparable earthly example except perhaps such as the poor ones I presented earlier. The important thing, I submit, is not to allow schisms and "doubtful disputations" over technicalities to replace our shared wonder at the inscrutable glory of God.

Answer 5

At Nuremberg, the Nazis wanted to be tried according to Nazi law, but the President of the court said that was like a burglar asking to be tried by burglars' law.

You will not get a logical answer, except according to Christian logic, which is illogical, and requires all sorts of suppositions and contortions.

Answer 6

The most pious Christians I know believe that the doctrine of the Trinity is transendent of logic and human understanding. These Christians often times dismiss all analogies used to represent the Trinity, most often times by saying that the analogies show that the three persons are different and distinc (like saying that vapor IS NOT water and water is NOT ice and vice versa), contrary to the belief that all three persons is God.

Answer 7

You have lots of answers, images to explain how something can be three and one or a mixture there of. Another way of looking at this notion is how else might we describe the perfect being. It is impossible since we are imperfect but if we seek to understand what we are trying to say or avoid saying, we might understand the attempt.

Looking at God as leader or king, you have a choice between democracy - shared leadership or monarchy - leadership by one. In the idea of the trinity we have both 0ne God but three persons. God comes to us as creator in the father, saviour in the son and guide in the spirit.

Because these three persons are considered equal, there is no competition within the trinity only complete cooperation. Now as it stand the idea of the trinity hold out to us an ideal of leadership and community. Imagine if all the world cooperated for the betterment of the planet and of the individuals who inhabit it.

This in not logical as you asked but I think it might help you understand the value of theological images.

Answer 8

The early disciples were Jews and, therefore, monotheists.
BUT they had experienced Jesus...seen Him raise the dea, heal sicknesses, offer forgiveness (all atttributes of God) AND THEN refuse to stay dead.
After His ascension they EXPERIENCED the coming of the Holy Spirit who transformed their lives.
I do not suppose they UNDERSTOOD it any mor then than we do now.....but nothing else fitted the evidence.
God was in Christ and His Spirit was available.

It is rather like 3 personalitiesin one being. eg I am a son, a husband and a father. All at the same time. But all different.

Answer 9

Three divine and distinct persons, eternally united in a mysterious way, who make up the one true God, as definitively modeled in the complex mathematical equation shown below:

1 X 1 X 1 = 1

Answer 10

Although not a Christian I would say that the trinity are 3 different parts of God, distinct and separate but part of one single whole. Many things are made of different parts that when combined together make the whole. For example, the nature of the human being is understood as having a physical component-the body, the psychological component-the mind, and the spiritual component-the soul. Human consciousness is understood to have 3 main components, the conscious, the sub conscious and the unconscious minds. The personality has the three components of the id, ego and super ego. Yet, all of these examples add up to one singular entity we call the human being. I guess God would be much the same, having many parts to the singular entity. Thank you for your question. As a young girl I had a spiritual experience of transcendence and did experience the many and the one at the same time during the extensive experience. I guess man's nature reflects the nature of God.

Answer 11

Well done to slowlylearning for such a good answer.
A True Gentleman, please understand that God is very real indeed - much more than just a belief system as some people say. Remember that he is a person who can protect you against satan (also very real) and he is your provider also. The communication? - prayer of course, and the bible, and other Christians! Thank you for asking!
