Ice, Water and Hot Steam=Three in One?

Question

Can the three states of H2O co-exist at the same temperature together, yet all still maintaning their form, structure and characteristics?

If not, then how can God the Father+God the Son+God the Holy Spirit=God All in One known as Trinity?

Ok, ok, at least I learn that it is possible in physics called the triple point. And that its also impossible to apply such laws to Divinity those who use it are SILLY to begin with. By the way, H2O at 0.01 degrees celcius can't be called ice isn't it?

Answer 1

Good point.

Answer 2

First, physical laws and contraints do not apply when talking about God. This is not a cop-out. God created the universe and all the "laws" within it. Thus, He is not held to those laws.

Second, you are misunderstanding the concept. Water is a good example to teach the Trinity. It shows itself as 3 seemingly entities, yet it is the same thing. Nobody said it must remain the same temperature. That is your own addition.

Answer 3

I think there is a certain point - called the triple point - that exists at a certain temperature and pressure for most substances where it is right on the border between solid, liquid, and gas. Look for something called a "phase diagram" for water, and you should see a point where three lines mix. That is the triple point. It's pretty cool, I think.

I prefer to think of God as one entity, but manifests in 3 different ways. I guess he is kind of like water, where it's the same basic chemical structure, but has slightly different properties depending on the situation.

Answer 4

The three states of the H2O are not the ultimate reality of the the H2O. The three states all are dependent on condition. Three are bound in a unity by the base molecule. The conditions do not affect the base yet only it's appearance. All in All is more appropriate when conceptualizing God.

Answer 5

Please read chapter 15 of the Gospel of John, its all so clear, verse 1, I AM the true VINE, and my FATHER is the HUSBANDMAN. Some translations use the word GARDENER there. Verse two, The BRANCH=HOLY SPIRIT. Notice verse 4, abide in me and I in you. As the BRANCH CANNOT bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine. In just a couple verses here we see the trinity in its simplest form. With Jesus speaking he first uses the words of Jehovah I AM, I AM the vine, meaning if you have seen him you have seen the Father, the Branch which is the Holy Spirit is the third part of the trinity and when we accept Jesus Christ into our lives he comes and lives in our hearts and guides us into all truth. Of course to get the Holy Spirit you must be born again, there is a natural body and spiritual body, you must be born of both, if you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and you would like to just say this simple sinners prayer, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Answer 6

Well, if you had a way to compress or remove all air pressure, and varied the pressures on the three samples widely, you COULD have water at the same temperature in the form of ice, water and steam. Seems a lot of bother to make a point though.

Answer 7

Plain water,when placed in a vacuum under 230 ml of gas pressure and at a temp of 0 degrees Cent.,solidifies into ice at the bottom of the container,remains liquid in the center and vaporizes at the top. At a given instant the same water is both solid,liquid and gas,yet all 3 are manifestations of the same basic substance or nature:H2O-hrodogen:2 parts,oxygen one. If one of the simplest of all created substances can be 3 in manifested form and yet remain one in nature,then the Creator of that substance can surely manifest Himself as 3 persons of one nature.
God is not 3,but 1. 1x1x1=1

Man was also created as a triune being: Body,Soul,Spirit-again,3 manifestations..one being..

Answer 8

Yes.

Put ice in a bucket and start heating it. Some of the ice will melt giving you water. Then suddenly drop the air pressure above the ice and water. Some of the water will quickly vaporize into steam. And you got all three.

And connecting that to a mythical Trinity makes no sense at all.

Answer 9

This is completely ridiculous. You're comparing the deity to H2O? Explain to me how a divine being and one of the simplest molecules in the universe are analogous. You are a dingbat
P.S. I'm not even a Christian, but I have to call you on this.

Answer 10

Actually, yes, water can exist in all three states at once (ice, water, and water vapour). It's called the triple point of a substance, and for water it is 0.01º C.

As for the metaphysical component of your question, the answer is unknowable, but can be relied upon with a some hard to quantify amount of faith.

Answer 11

To compare the awesome power of God to a glass of water is totally ridiculous. God can do whatever he dang well pleases. Your comparing one of the simplest substances know to man to a God that we can't even begin to comprehend.
