Same person, three parts...all the same yet seperate...three entities, yet wholy one?..heck even the Riddler didn't come up with lame things like that. Sounds all spooky and spiritual though when you read it...especially if you are illiterate...as most were when this whole gob of **** was made up.

So just because it goes beyond you're understanding means it's not real? We're only humans. Our logic lacks in the realm of the spirit. You know nothing or the components of an immortal being, so prove it makes no sense in a spiritual context please.

I too agree that no matter how you sum it up 1 plus 1 plus 1 does not equal 1. The Bible clearly seperates God from Jesus and the Holy Ghost is not an entity but a gift.
Jesus said to the people when He resurrected, "touch me not for I have not yet ascended unto my Father." Jesus was not insane so He could not have been talking about himself.
Scripture says, you will recieve the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues." It's a gift, not a person.
There are 2 in the God Head. God and Jesus, Jesus being the least of the two but still a God.

The "trinity" become first shaped by technique of the ROMANS. that they had a mess (noted as by technique of the Greeks a pantheon) of Gods. The Emporer Constantine had the duty of shopping for the erection in each and every important city of a plethora of temples. by technique of combining each and every of the Gods into one God, he might want to keep money contained in the Roman treasury. the challenge become that no you likely can come across a unmarried God with each and every of the attributes of the others. So, to divise a monetary answer, Constantine proposed that the Christian diety and the Jewish diety, and the Roman diety be blended right into a unmarried "3-in-one" diety. From that Christians get the "Apostles Creed" that created the concept now everyday as "the Trinity." That the Hindus had 3 gods (they extremely have seven) might want to in basic terms be coincidental. The trinity turned right into a Roman tax-saving edict.

No; as I recall, the concept was invented around Augustus and Gregory's time - around their efforts, some 100s of years after Christ.
Joseph Smith, the modern prophet, actually saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, when they appeared to him in answer to his prayer.
He learned from this appearance, countless misconceptions that had existed.
Firstly, not only are they separate and distinct indeviduals, but they clearly do appear just like us. The Father is literally that - our Father - of our spirits before we were born. We are born in His image.
Jesus was His only begotten in the flesh.
The other absolute revelation that Joseph learned was that Jesus was literally, physically resurrected - to an Immortal glorified body of flesh and bone [no blood, as we know it here].
Just as importantly, the Son is not 'ahead' of the Father either.
Both of these Beings possessed Immortal, glorified bodies of flesh and bone.
Their brightness and glory "defied all description, standing above me in the air".
The Holy Ghost is a Personage of Spirit [still] and so cannot be seen.
When scripture says they are One, it simply means they are one in mind, purpose and in agreement upon ALL things - this is simply because they Live all truth and have all knowledge of all things - thus knowing the real truth of all matters.
It's just a bit like the saying that simply says:
"Two great minds think alike!" ... well, momentarily, they often do, but we all have infinity to learn yet, so we cannot be of 'one mind' over everything.
Can we??
So, to answer your query:
Yes; God has answered these questions for us...
All we need to do is be more humble and listen to His holy prophets.
They ARE here.
Current prophet is Gordon B Hinckley.
I'm sure you'll find him if you really want to.

Thats not illogical at all. Have you ever heard of EXISTENTIALISM? We are all different entities in one package to different entities. As for the trinity, just because the bible never uses the word "trinity" doesn't mean that the doctrine is not taught. Its long and confusing for sure, read this

it may help some.

There are so many things that don't make sense from the Bible when you try to think about it "logically". Human "logic" cannot interpret a lot of what The Lord our God is about. Like the first poster said, it's not for us to understand. Belief in him is based in Love and blind faith. You can't explain it away.

It was a compromise. Had to somehow pull together and explain a bunch of disparate yet widely held concepts (thousands of years old) about the divine, came up with this mish-mashed construction (kinda like a Rube Goldberg mechanism), Constantine put power of law behind it.

Sort of like 'The Three Faces of Eve', I guess.
Just joking.

That is exactly what Jehovah´s witnesses have several decades explaining that how is possible that jesus is his won father and his own son and his own Holy spirit (mother at the same time is illogical.
and if they are three then is polythieism and why we olny see God and Jesus? only two.
