Answer 1

there are not 3 gods! think about it....If all three are so powerful, wouldn't you think that since the time of Adam, he would have said "hey in heaven i saw 3 gods) he always refered to ONE. There is ONe god (Allah - the proper name of god which has no gender or plural reference!) the christians holy spririt is the angel Gabriel ( jibreel) . ........I can't believe some of the greatest minds in history and today believe this upsurd idea that it's 3 in 1 or whatever. With respect christians ....you have to believe that your holy book got tampered with and with so many revisions, why on earth would you honor something like that. Imagine this scenario in life today, could you believe that a tenent who wrote iup her own lease is going to write things like ....if I'm late than its 100 bucks a day for every I missed? No shes not..she will revise it to her benefit and write you have a half a month grace period. OPEN UR EYES PLS !!!

2 nd -point- Is why not follow everything in your holy book? It says in the bible to cover womens heads, and not to eat pork and honestly most of the things that muslims do? Excuse me if I think that a holy book would be addressed to the people of that time along with future generations so for the people who deny certain things "because it was back then" is a cop out. The koran is for all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

As a Christian I believe you are correct. Christians do not understand the Trinity. But we believe it with all of our hearts because it is Biblically correct.
Think of it this way, if you could understand the Trinity which is God in three persons, God wouldn't be much of a God. The Creator must logically be superior in intelligence than the creator. Do you know any computer programs that are actually more intelligent than the folks who wrote them?

Answer 3

I have to admit the idea of three persons in one God is a concept that most of us Christians have a difficult time really comprehending. There have been many illustrations come up with trying to explain it, but it is a difficult concept.

The Bible definately talks about three separate manifestations of God. God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit. It also discribes a bit of their interaction with each other. John 14:15-31 is a good example of this.
The term Trinity is a term not actually in the Bible but is one that Theologians have come up with as an attempt to describe this three is one relationship.

The Jewish portion of the Scriptures known as the TANAK. Also has refences to a multiple Godhead that is one. The Hebrew word for God is Elohim. Elohim is plural. Yet it is quoted in Deuteronomy 6:4 that God is Echad or one.
Genesis chapter one talks about the Spirit of God hovering over the waters. The prophet Isaiah when speaking of the coming Messiah said,
"For to us a child is born. To us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wounderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
The passage in John I refered to earlier calls the Holy Spirit counselor. So this prophecy of Isaiah speaks of the Messaih as being Son, Holy Spirit, God, Father, and Prince.
Also, in the first chapter of Genesis God says, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.."
These refereneces are all from the Tanak or Jewish Scriptures. Yet the Jewish people worship one
God. No one doubts their monotheism.

The way I take the idea of the trinity is this. God, the creator of the Universe is beyond our finite conception. The infinite has revealed himself to us finite creatures in concrete terms we can grasp like Father and Son and Spirit. He says they are in unity or agreement and are one. So, I'll take it at that and trust that's about as much of it as we can comprehend as finite creatures.

Answer 4

Anyone who reads the bible can actually answer that question but only if they don't thinking about what some religion say, just think about what the bible itself really says about it, after all it is God's Word. For example Matthew 24:36 (New International Version) says: " No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." So if the Son is equal to the Father, how is it that the Father knows things that the Son does not? Perhaps asking yourself that question will make you think that God is not a trinity that in fact God=God , Christ=Christ and holy ghost= holy ghost.

Mathew 16:15-17(New International Version) says: "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven." Can someone possibly say that he's his own father? This shows that he wasn't talking about himself, which means that God is not Christ.

As read the bible you will notice lots of passages that contradict this doctrine.

Answer 5

IN THE MIDST OF HIS TRIAL, suffering Job declared, “This I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!” (Job 19:26). But surely Job was mistaken. Doesn’t the Bible teach that the Eternal God is invisible to mortal man? Didn’t John plainly state, “No one has seen God at any time” (1 John 4:12)? According to the Bible, the reason God cannot be seen is because “God is Spirit” (John 4:24). And as Jesus Himself said, “A spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have” (Luke 24:39). There is nothing about the Divine Spirit that is visible to the eyes of man. This is why Paul declares: “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” (1 Timothy 1:17). Clearly the one true and living God described in the Bible is a Spirit which cannot be seen. Having established this truth, we must now consider what the Bible also says. Jesus Himself made the statement, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). If you are wondering how both of these declarations can be true, how God can be simultaneously visible and invisible, then you must understand that the explanation can only be found by examining the Scriptures. In his letter to the Romans, Paul has provided the key to reconciling these two seemingly contradictory ideas. The apostle writes, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead” (Romans 1:20). In other words, Paul says that even though God cannot be seen through direct observation, He can be seen, even clearly seen, by that which He has made. This is because by faith we understand that “the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible” (Hebrews 11:3). That is to say, when God brought the material world into existence, that which could not be seen became visible. What then has God made that makes it possible for us to see His invisible Spirit, His eternal power and Godhead? The answer is, His Son. You see, nearly two thousand years ago an angel appeared to a young maiden in Israel and told her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35). The reason this Child was to be called the Son of God was because His fathering was being done by the Holy Spirit, which is the manifested presence of the same God Jesus referred to as His Father. This Son to be born was the One spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, who declared, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). This word “Immanuel” is translated “God with us” (Matthew 1:23). The prophet also foretold, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). How was it that the Son, this Child who was to be born of a virgin, could be called Mighty God and Everlasting Father? It was because the invisible God had determined to make Himself visible so that we, along with Job, could see Him. The Incarnation What we now call the Incarnation (the taking on of human flesh) did not actually occur until over seven hundred years after the prophecies of Isaiah had been published. But finally, “when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman...” (Galatians 4:4). This One who was sent forth by God was the Child who was born, the Man we know as Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As the Son, He was made like all the descendants of Adam—of the dust of the earth. He was part of the things that were made. Yet in Him the invisible God could be clearly seen, for Paul writes, “Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16). The Amplified Bible says that God was “made visible in human flesh.” This is the Incarnation. The reason God can be clearly seen in this Man named Jesus is because “in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). What’s more, He is “the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person” (Hebrews 1:3), “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). An image is something that can be seen, either in the mind’s eye as a mental image or through physical eyes as a material image. In Christ, James Apostolic (Oneness) Minister
