Can water be a liquid, solid and gas at one and the same time like the Trinity example ?

Answer 1

Yes, as ice melts and evaporates, it simply changes form.
Did you know that in Genesis 1:26, the words image and
likeness have 2 different meanings, according to Strong's
Hebrew Exhaustive Concordance? Image is # 6754, and
means phantom or illusion. Likeness is # 1823, and means
shape or model. God made us a two-fold being; body and
Spirit as He is body & Spirit. Jesus plainly says, he is the
temple of God and God is a Spirit. Says Jesus wasn't given
the Spirit by measure, but the fulness of the Spirit; Col 2:9,
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead BODILY".

Answer 2

In physics there is a term called the triple point of water, where the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases are in perfect equilibrium. This means some of the water molecules exist in each of the three possible phases -- NOT that all molecules are simultaneously solid, liquid, and gas. For water, the triple point is at 273.16 deg. Kelvin, or 0.01 deg. Celsius, with a vapor pressure of 4.56 mm Hg -- just slightly above the freezing point. I leave it to your own judgment whether this is an appropriate analogy for the Trinity.

Answer 3

No. However different cups of water can be liquid, solid and gas at the same time.

Answer 4

The trinity wasn't put into doctrine until after the 4th century. You would think that if Christ wanted it to be a doctrine to begin with, He would have said so outright, not hinted at it as they say.

The fact that it had to be agreed upon by a group of men tells me that it has some room for question. I'm sorry, but I just don't think that God is a God of confusion, or would not want us to wonder about who or what He was. I think God is understandable, and can be if people would take the time themselves to learn about God, and to ask God Himself what and who He is. They might be surprised by the answer they get!

Answer 5

These people that use "apple, orange, water" it just shows how much Bible Knowledge they really have. "000000", they are to lazy to use the Bible and do some research.

It's not just this ???, almost every ??? on Q&A receives the same unintelligent answers showing they know very little about the Bible.

Sometimes I scroll through 300 ??? to get a sincere decent ??? to answer, a person that actually wants a Bible ??? answered.

Answer 6

Of course. That is the case on Earth all the time. It's solid in the Himalayas, liquid in the oceans, and a gas in the atmosphere.

Answer 7

--FAMILY is the relationship with God & Christ , NOT WATER PROPERTIES!
--WE ARE NOT talking about eggs, waters 3 properties and the rest of the trinitarian lovers use of silly illustrations to compare:
--THE 2 GREATEST personages in all of life!

--WHEN JESUS used illustrations , he always made sense WITH THE USE of them, that people understood!
--NOT FOOLED into understanding!

--FOR INSTANCE the trinitarians should try and use their EGG & TRIPLE POINT foolishness to describe the TENDER RELATIONSHIP that they and their mates have in their love, respect, appreaciation , kindness, honor , goodness, mercy, & all that goes hand in hand FOR family relationship to flourish, between:
1. Husband & wife!
2. Father & Son
3. And any other FAMILY RELATIONSHIP, where there are 2 different personages!
--THEY might as well use a rock to relate to the above , it amounts to the same thing with the egg & water monstrosity of an illustration!

--BESIDES WE are talking about 2 distinct personalities and one active force, 3 DISTINCT entities!
--ONCE AGAIN WE ARE talking about FAMILY (father & son) as an illustration--not some egg OR triple point trinitarian flim flammery!

UPDATE # 1
As to the trinity & faith, they do relate as to BLIND FAITH, but not the Bibles faith as defined:
(Hebrews 11:1) “. . .Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. . .”

--IS THERE ANYTHING in the trinity that is "assured", "evident" or "real"---
--TRUE FAITH has substance to it , thus the "blind faith" in the trinity can be clearly be compared to the "blind faith" NEEDED in evolution!

Answer 8

If one has to try and explain the trinity, I like that analogy the best, I think it's very useful. Three expressions of the same properties.

Answer 9

Sigh. Yes, it's called the Triple Point.

And be aware that the water phase analogy for the Trinity was declared a heresy a thousand years ago.

Answer 10

Yes, at the triple point: 0.01 degrees C and 0.0006 atm (see http://www.sv.vt.edu/classes/MSE2094_NoteBook/96ClassProj/examples/triple.html ). Not all compounds have triple points but many of them do.

However, the singleness/tripleness of the Trinity may differ in substantial respects from that of water.

---EDIT------ Oops, that should read 0.006 atm!
