What is the trinity? 3-in-1 or 3-as-1?

Question

How can Jesus be seated at the right hand of the Father of Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are all one thing? Doesn't that mean that Jesus has to be seperate from God to be able to sit at the right hand?

if Jesus, God, etc...etc...etc.****

I'm really tired, but I have some questions...sorry for typos!

No man can explain God...why should I go to a minister when different churches have different explanations and interpretations?

Answer 1

just the existence of god cannot be fully explained and proven scientifically, god himself does not fit in our knowledge of chemistry, physics or mathematics. in science we are taught that a matter has volume and space and is classified as solid, liquid, gas, and god isnt any of these. so how more is the concept of the trinity...


...st. augustine was pondering another holy mystery that was far beyond the realm of human understanding: the holy trinity. the question of how one being could be in three, and three in one, had the man so perplexed that he almost didn’t see the little child in front of him. thinking it was just another little boy at play, the man was about to dismiss him until he saw what the boy was trying to do. the child had dug a small hole in the sand and was going back and forth to the ocean, emptying water into it. not understanding, the st. augustine asked him, ‘what are you trying to do?’ the boy looked up and replied cheerfully, ‘i’m going to empty the entire ocean into the hole I have dug here.’ st. augustine responded, ‘well that’s impossible!’ the little boy looked up at him and said, ‘what you’re trying to do is more impossible.”

the boy is said to be the child jesus

Answer 2

God didn´t divide in three , he is not a "cake" but a person, he sent his first son but his firstson was another person separate as you and your father, you came from your father but you are not your father , trinity says that Jesus is Jehovah , which is false cause Jehovah is the name of the most high (Psalm 83:18) and the most high is the father of Jesus (luke 1:32) so Jesus can´t be his own father, it is illogical.

Answer 3

3 in one
but God send Jesus Christ to save us
without Jesus we not to be in life .john 3:16
so all what happened in the Holy Trinity for incarnate his son
or crucified him or ascended into the heaven or sat at the right hand of his Father or second coming is right and that what we believe.

Answer 4

a clergyman defined trinity to me by utilising protecting a burger king Pepsi cup. He mentioned: here we've a million Pepsi field. Then he held the straw, lid, and the cup and mentioned: Cup = Father. Lid = Spirit. Straw = Jesus. Then he placed the three issues jointly and mentioned: And we've one Pepsi field that's God. 3 Gods, yet one!! in spite of the undeniable fact that this does not make any experience to me when you consider that Jesus/Father/Holy Spirit and 3 diverse entities, each entity is seen GOD, then how come you're saying the three Gods form one Deity or one God?? in the Cup occasion, we had 3 countless issues that formed a field. all of the three, straw/lid/cup, isn't seen a field by utilising itself. EDIT: To heart Fall: in line with what you wrote, then Jesus isn't seen God, he's a physique of God. the father isn't a God, he's a Soul of God. The holy spirit isn't a God, he/it relatively is a Spirit of God.

Answer 5

The Godhead is three distinct beings. That is what the Bible teaches and most early Christians believed until the counsels held by men and under the direction of men to decide the nature of God.

Answer 6

Man was cerated in the image of God right? Or so says scripture. Therefore to answer this qustion we must look at mankind.

mankind is triune: spirit, soul, and body

see here:

1 Thess 5:
23: And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So if man is triune so is God, since we are made in His image, and scripture backs up this trinity.

Now imagine if each part of you; spirit, soul, and body were given their own life. Wouldn't each part be still you? So it is with God. scripture even tells us that the Father and Jesus have their own life.

Joh 5:26
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath
he given to the Son to have life in himself;

Answer 7

3=1
Also.
I can't remember but in the 15 months I have been here - this was asked - and masterfully answered.
Email Father K, or other priests/religious in R&S, as I can't explain GOD.

Answer 8

I personally believe that they are three distinct beings The Father, his son, and the holy ghost. They are one in purpose though.

Answer 9

"Opeople of the book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth.
Christ Jesus the son of Mary was [no more or less than] a messenger of Allah, and His word, which
he bestowed upon Mary, and a spirit preceding from Him: so believe in Allah and his messengers. Say
not "Three": desist!, it is better for you, for Allah is one god, Glory be to Him, Far exalted is He
above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and the earth. And enough is Allah as a
disposer of affairs."
The noble Qur'an, Al-Nissah(4):171
"Or have they (mankind) chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead If there were therein gods
besides Allah then verily both (the heavens and the earth) would have gone to ruin. Glorified be Allah,
the Lord of the throne from all they ascribe (unto Him)"
The noble Qur'an, Al-Anbia(21):21-22
"Allah coineth a similitude: A man in relation to whom are several partners quarreling, and a man
belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in similitude? Praise be to Allah, but most of them know
not."
The noble Qur'an, Al-Zumar(39):27.
In other words, which would be more conducive of harmony: For an employee to have two bosses
quarreling over him, or for each employee to have only one boss?
"Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): If there were other gods along with Him, as they say, then they
would have sought a way against the Lord of the Throne. Glorified is He, and High Exalted above what
they say! The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but
hymns his praise; but you understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving."
The noble Qur'an, Al-Israa(17):42-44.
"And say: Praise be to Allah, Who has not taken unto Himself a son, and Who has no partner in the
Sovereignty, nor has He any ally through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence."
The noble Qur'an, Al-Israa(17):111.
"Allah has not chosen any son, nor is there any God along with Him; else would each God have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others.
Glorified be Allah above all that they allege. Knower of the invisible and the visible! and exalted be He
over all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!"


In the Bible we read:
1. "Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven
above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else." Deuteronomy 4:39.
2. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3
3. "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous
God:" Exodus 34:14
4. "Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know
and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall
there be after me. I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no savior." Isaiah 43:10-
11.
5. "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first,
and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God." Isaiah 44:6
6. "That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me.
I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else." Isaiah 45:6
7. "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made
it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD;
and [there is] none else." Isaiah 45:18.
8. "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none
else." Isaiah 45:22

Answer 10

3 parts, one in purpose

The trinity is un-biblical. Don't think too hard about it. It makes me spin just trying to grasp.
