Christian question. Can you explain the trinity to me please as I don't really understand it?

Answer 1

3 in1 with equal importance.....
The Father has turned all things over to the Son.
Jesus said when he left that he would send the Holy Spirit.
Father Son and Holy Spirit equals the God Head.

Answer 2

Trinity is a mistery. You can try to use metaphors on it, but none is valid.

Mass religions need mysteries. It creates the impression that they hold the key to the final knowledge. It also created the opportunity to condemn people because of heresy. If you can not understand it, you are bound to give a wrong explanation.

As catholics can not explain trinity, communists, especially the leninist version can not explain "democratic centralism". It is still in function in China and it is always used to justify the carper like movements of the Party.

Have a nice day.

Answer 3

You can't understand it because there is no such thing. See Isaiah 48:11-12,Mark 12:29, Galatians 3:20, Malachi 2:10, Ephesians 4:4,6. Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 40:9, John 1:1,14. John 20:28, II Cor. 5:19, Col. 1:15, Col. 2:9-10, I Tim. 3:16, Titus 2:13, Micah 5:2, Matthew 1:23, John 10:30, John 14:8-11, and last but not least Acts 4:12. These should make the oneness of God clear as a bell for you. God Bless!!!!!

Answer 4

The Trinity is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

There are some things about the Christian Faith that goes beyond are human understanding, or our intellectual way of thinking, yet we feel it in our hearts. This is one of those things. It is hard for us to see or rationalize how 1+1+1=1, it goes against everything we know, but to me, I see it as 1x1x1=1.

Answer 5

This is an age old question. The best way I can think to explain it is...like a 3 leaf clover, 3 different leaves but still one clover.
With the trinity, each has it's own particular function.
God the father, creator, almighty
Jesus, perfect lamb of God, sacrifice, intercessor
Holy Spirit, teacher, the one who comes and resides in us and helps us to learn.
Of course, there is a lot more to each, but this is just a brief overview.
Hope that helps.
Take care

Answer 6

No-one understands a trinity. Three persons cannot be one person, one person cannot be three persons. Trinitarianism is for total idiots, the most absurd and desperate con ever in the universe. It is a verbal trick, the point of which is to demote Jesus below the Father and Mary. There is one deity, Jesus was his manifestation, he operates through the Holy Spirit, as you can see right now.

Answer 7

It isn't something we can humanly understand (yet).
It's a theological term to explain an observed reality.
We know that G*D is a spirit, from the story of Creation.
Jesus called G*D his Father, & himself Son of Man.
After the crucifixion, ressurrection, & ascension,
the Church received the Holy Spirit in personal form.
These were all seen as manifestations of G*D.
But there can only be one G*D, so three persons; Trinity.

Answer 8

The best explanation I've ever heard to clarify the Trinity is:
God is 3 parts in one. Think of water - it comes in 3 forms. Solid - ice, liquid - water, gas - steam. It's make up hasn't changed, it's still just H2O. Each part of the Trinity has it's own "job." You ask Jesus for things to be done in his name, God decides for it to be done, and the Holy Spirit causes it to happen. Let's say you're in a dark room. You ask Jesus for light. He tells God that you asked in his name for light, and God says it should be done. Jesus would flip the light switch, and the Holy Spirit is the electricity that powers the light. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

The Trinity is comprised of three distinct and seperate aspects of one God.

the best analogy I can think of right now is an egg. It has three distinct and seperate parts - a yolk, the white, and the shell. Yet all of these three distinct and seperate items make only one egg - Just as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit though distinct and seperate only make one God.

Answer 10

How can you explain something that never exist.

There is no such thing as the Trinity, This is largest lie that Satan uses to keep people from knowing who the True God is, if he can do this, he's got you.

He has cleverly kept a large proportion of mankind in darkness by means of false religion, making them think that they are serving God. Lacking in accurate knowledge of God and in love for truth, they may be attracted by mystical and emotional religious services or be impressed by powerful works.

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?

Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?

1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.

Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,

Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;


Rev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, why did God have to give the revelation to Jesus, if he is God? .

Does the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)

John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”

1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.

A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.
