how does trinity work?

Answer 1

For true Christians----it doesn't work, nor does it make sense.
It is a false doctrine supported by Christendom and her members.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4---"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world (Satan the Devil) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."

Notice that Jesus is called the "image of God" When you look is a mirror, what do you see? It is your image is it not?
If the Bible states "Jehovah is the one true God (which it does) and Jesus is not God Almighty, but was Jehovah's first creation (which it does) why do people refuse to accept what God's Word says? The Scripture quoted above gives the answer.

Answer 2

I have just read a contention that Jehovah's Witnesses deliberately misrepresent what Catholics say concerning the Trinity. So below is a full quote as to what Catholics say about the Trinity:

I. THE DOGMA of the Trinity-The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion-the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons the Father the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these three Persons being truly distinct one from another. Thus, in the words of the Athanasian Creed: "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." In this Trinity of Persons the Son is begotten of the Father by an eternal generation, and the Holy Spirit proceeds by an eternal procession from the Father and the Son'. Yet, notwithstanding this difference as to origin, the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotent. This the Church teaches is the revelation regarding 'God's nature which Jesus Christ, the Son of God came upon earth to deliver to the world: and which she proposes to man as the foundation of her whole dogmatic system. In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together. The word [tri'as] (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A. D. 180. He speaks of "the Trinity of God [the Father], His Word and His Wisdom" ("Ad. Autol.", 11, 15, P. G., VI, 1078). The term may, of course, have been in use before his time. Shortly afterwards it appears in its Latin form of trinitas in Tertullian. ... It is manifest that a dogma so mysterious presupposes a Divine revelation. When the fact of revelation, understood in its full sense as the speech of God to man, is no longer admitted, the rejection of the doctrine follows as a necessary consequence. For this reason it has no place in the Liberal Protestantism of today. The writers of this school contend that the doctrine of the Trinity, as professed by the Church, is not contained in the New Testament, but that it was first formulated in the second century and received final approbation in the fourth, as the result of the Arian and Macedonian controversies ... In view of this assertion it is necessary to consider in some detail the evidence afforded by Holy Scripture. (The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1912, Vol. 15, p 47-49)

The foregoing should be enough to give you an idea of what Catholicism defines as the Trinity. Notice the parts that mention "co-equal"; ""co-eternal"; "all alike and uncreated and omnipotent." Notice also the part which states that it is obvious that such a mysterious dogma presupposes divine revelation. Is that really so? How can that be? It is admitted that the doctrine is confusing and "mysterious". But divine revelation would necessarily contradict such a doctrine since, according to divine revelation (1 Corinthians 14:33), God is not a God of disorder.

Given the above, I do not know how the Trinity is supposed to work. I do know that the scriptures teach –with absolutely NO qualification – that it is impossible for God to die. Jesus died. If he was God then, God died – which is impossible. If he was not God when he died, then Jesus is not God at all since God is always God.

Answer 3

If any here really want to know, E-mail me and I'll freely provide you with many hundreds of pages of supernal Theology on the Trinity Government of All Reality.

"Ever remember that what the Infinite Spirit (Third Deity Person) does is the function of the Conjoint Actor. Both the Father and the Son are functioning in and through and as Him. But it would be futile to attempt to elucidate the Trinity mystery:

Three as One and in One, and One as Two and acting for Two."

This mighty Epochal Revelation then does authoritatively expatiate at length to further clarify this for us.

Answer 4

There is a lot to explain, but here is a great link. It explains different views on the trinity.


Edit: I don't know why I got so many thumbs down. I thought there was a good amount of information in the link. Even though it is about people who reject the trinity, there is still a good amount of information. I guess next time I will copy and paste.

Answer 5

It is a sectarian notion not found in the Bible. Scripture refers to the three separate personages as the Godhead. They each have a place in the plan of salvation, and are united in purpose.

Answer 6

The Holy Trinity

God : The Creator
The Holy Spirit : God's soul or spirit (the Spirit of Life)
Jesus: A piece of God's soul sent through an unblemished woman to become flesh

All three are one..this is the Holy Trinity

Answer 7

Well if God were a human it wouldn't work, but since He is GOD he can exist as a trinity of three in one.

Kinda like the triple threat position in basketball?

Answer 8

We cannot understand the nature of God and we cannot understand the nature of the trinity just as we cannot understand the nature of the universe.

Why is the universe expanding if it is the result of a explosion billions of years ago? Wouldn't it be decellerating? If we cannot even understand basic principles of the universe, how can we understand somthing as devine as God who created it?

Answer 9

The Trinity is largely based off of a couple verses in John's Gospel. The Father (more commonly known as God or Jehovah) is the creator of all things. He transcends physical time and space. The Son (more commonly known as Jesus) is the part of God that came to Earth and submitted Himself to the physical boundaries which He created. The Holy Spirit (commonly known by that name; aka Holy Ghost) is the "helper" that Jesus says will be sent along after He ascends to Heaven.

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (Word referring to Jesus. Another verse says that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, symbolic of equality.)

John 14:26 "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

It's like one entity with three parts. Hope this helped.

This is the math required to understand, in order to understand the trinity:
