In what ways is the Blessed Trinity central to our faith?

Answer 1

The Blessed Trinity (God) is the core of Christian faith. Our earthly families are created in the image and likeness of the true and perfect heavenly family: The Holy Trinity.

God is ONe, but isn't alone, because God is an eternal family of self-giving life and love btwn. The Father and The Son, their love is so real that it eternally begets a person, The Holy Spirit. A married man and women image the Triune God, when they give their life and love to eachother, it becomes so real that it begets a child 9 mos. later!

The Triune God's inner exchange of life and love teaches us that the meaning of life and love itself is to GIVE ourselves to others through our bodies. God bless.

"Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and imposters led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus." --- Thomas Jefferson

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ is the greatest fiction of human history.” (Lord Bishop of Canterbury Commission, the Spiritual Head of England, 1910.)

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God, atonement are not the teachings of Jesus. These are all inventions of Saint Paul who never really met Jesus.” (Hastings Rashdall, The Theory of Good and Evil)

"Initially there were 34 gospels that were compiled by word of mouth. Four were chosen for unclear reasons and 30 were left behind [burned]. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,

Although Nontrinitarian beliefs continued to multiply, and among some people (such as the Lombards in the West) it was dominant for hundreds of years afterward, the Trinitarians gained the immense power of the Roman Empire. Nontrinitarians typically argue that the primitive beliefs of the Christianity were systematically suppressed (often to the point of death), and that the historical record, perhaps also including the Scriptures of the New Testament, was altered as a consequence.

Answer 3

This has always been controversial. Christianity criticized polytheism and exalted monotheism, but then its critics argued that the trinity was essentially polytheism. The Counsel Of Nicea around the 3rd century tried to resolve this issue, but its still remains an area of controversy

Answer 4

Answer 5

Who is "our"?

The Bible speaks Christ, God and the Holy Spirit being as one.
It also speaks of a husband and wife being as one.

So are husbands and wives one person too?

The Bible also says that Christ is the son of God over and over and over and over and over again. During the baptism of Christ is specifically seperates the 3 as unique and different beings. So why do people still hold to the concept of the trinity?

There is more evidence in the Bible, imo, to disprove the concept of the trinity than to prove it. You can explain why they would be refered to as one without being one actual being. One in purpose.
How do you explain that the Bible constantly states that Christ is the son of God or that they have appeared seperately?
