the trinity doesn't really make any sense does it?
What is the trinity anyway?
Never could get that straight?

I post this all the time for people who don't seem to understand the concept of The Divine Trinity.
Water is one substance that can be liquid, gas, and solid distinctly or all at the same time. The following quote is from the late Dr. Walter Martin: "It is a well-known fact of chemistry that plain water, when placed in a vacuum under 230 millimeters of gas pressure and at a temperature of 0 degrees Centigrade, solidifies into ice at the bottom of the container, remains liquid in the center and vaporizes at the top! At a given instant the same water is both solid, liquid and gas, yet all three are manifestations of the same basic substance or nature: H2O - hydrogen: two parts; oxygen: one. If one of the simplest of all created substances can be three in manifested form and yet remain one in nature, then the Creator of that substance can surely be Father, Son and Holy Spirit - three Persons and one Nature - without any violation of logic or reason whatever if He so wills."
It doesn't matter what the Triune God looks like or how He speaks....I will listen. There's no point in posting questions like this if you are just trying to laugh at Christians for their beliefs! No one is really going to pay attention to your stupidity. Yeah, you all think we are crazy for believing in a concept like this. But, I guess we will all find out in the end HUH?

In Christianity, Trinity is the doctrine that God is one being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons (not to be confused by "person"): the Father, the Son (incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. Since the 4th century, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "three persons in one God," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal persons, are of one indivisible Divine essence, a simple being. The doctrine also teaches that the Son Himself has two distinct natures, one fully divine and the other fully human. Supporting the doctrine of the Trinity is known as Trinitarianism. Most divisions of Christianity are Trinitarian, and regard belief in the Trinity as a test of Christian orthodoxy.

Just to try to answer the question - I believe that if confronted by the Trinity (if it exists - agnostic here), it would be beyond what we could comprehend.
Easy example: Pretend you are a tape recorder. You have one sense - sound. You cannot smell, touch, taste, or see. So, you're perception is limited.
We know that there are 11 dimensions in this reality (string theory). We can only sample 4 (height, width, depth, and time). Therefore, if the Trinity exists, it is most likely that it would work in ways beyond our understanding, or even beyond our ability to sense or comprehend a minority of it.

Really stupid doctrine! They claim the 3 are only 1 being yet also claim they are literally 3 guys sitting in a row next to each other although only 1.
The only religion that logically realizes if the 3 are 1 guy then you will only see 1 guy, 1 throne, not 3 different guys in a row are viewed as a cult going to hell by "other" trinitarians.

There is no trinity. The Bible says" The water, the spirit, and the blood agree. These three are one".

The Trinity of One came about because suddenly the Church found itself worshiping three gods instead of one. A bit of a cock-up there. So they made three one. A ridiculous thing.

A lot of people died over those same questions during the religious wars in Europe following the Protestant Reformation. And still no answer.

I'd be looking at Jesus. It's that simple.
Jesus is the manifestation of God which has come to me. Perhaps you see God in a different way, or not at all...and that's OK by me. Far be it from me to force my beliefs on you.
