If a person believes in the Trinity and yet claims to be monotheistic, can that person rationalize everything?

Question

Wisdom; to put it in chemistry terms, it is like saying an atom is made up of three atoms.

Answer 1

Simpie answer is "no"..
This state of mind is just denial of human wisdom.
If you ask them why they believe so..They says that because bible says so.
If you ask them why do you believe in bible they would say because this is god's word.
If you ask them why they believe that bible is God's word they would tell you about their personal vision from God.
If you ask them how do you know that the vision was from God and not from satan they would say that because vision was according bible, so vision is from god..

Answer 2

I don't know, but I'll give it a shot (I'm neither trinitarian nor monotheistic).

God is like a hydrogen atom, made up of three main "parts." Just as a hydrogen atom is made up of an electron, a neutron, and a proton, God is made of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

When you're referring to a hydrogen atom, you are referring to a singular object made of three distinct parts. Removing any of these parts from the original atom changes the nature of the original atom, just as removing one of God's parts would change the nature of God.

I don't know if that's even close to what Trinitarians believe or if that counts as any sort of explanation, but it's the best I can do on the spot. I think I actually prefer this explanation to the liquid/solid/gas explanation.

Answer 3

Yet another evangelical atheist. People like you sir, actually have a name *evangelical atheists*. Forever obsessing over, and using bible (which they hold in highest contempt) to ridicule the believers, sad and pathetic, indeed.
Out of hand and categorical rejection of any hypothesis, including the god hypothesis, in the absence of a concrete scientific proof to the contrary, constitutes an arrogant and ignorant act of intellectual prejudice and bias. I am assuming you are NOT in the possesion of a scientific proof god indeed does NOT exist ? If I am right, and I suspect I am, than you are committing such an act. The difference is you do it not do out of disbelief, but with premediation to poke fun of the believers. Sad and pathetic, again. Myself I do not know if he does or does not exist, I am just not arrogant enough to claim either way.
The problem with you atheists is not that YOU do not believe, you do not want ANYONE to believe, and you ridicule those who do. You also assume you are intellectually superior to believers simply because of your nonbelief, you are not.
EDIT: unfortunately, Talking A*ss, Windom is right on the money with atom analogy. Your ignorance about chemistry (and otherwise) is appaling...

Answer 4

I can rationalize the Trinity of God by it saying plainly that they
are three in the Trinity, God,the Son,The Holy Spirit, Jesus
tell,s us not to worship him but the Father,God said if you deny my Son I will deny you.

Answer 5

Even the Hindu Upanishads claim that God is One even though they have a pantheon of hundreds and hundreds of deities. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three aspects of one ineffible reality, most of the time called the Godhead. If you prefer to call that polytheistic, you're free to do so and we won't care but most dictionaries and the common usage would disagree with you.

Answer 6

I can't tell you how many trinitarians have told me

"God does not have to rational".

To believe the trinity you have to ignore so much bible, and historical evidence.

Answer 7

If a person believes in the Trinity ..does that mean they are not rational?
or...

Just because YOU do not believe in the God...does that mean others who do are wrong..???

Answer 8

I suppose so, but only if that person is as obsessed with semantics as you seem to be.
