The Trinity (page 52)

I amazing how many people call me "decieved" a "pagan", and yet they are the ones ignoring scripture.

JG,

Looks like our mild mannered "fjtoth" may also be rude and name calling "herk".

Too bad, another lesson to be learned I guess.

I don't have the time to read all 26 pages but I was wondering. Has anyone explained what the trinity is. I have seen some of the cartoons posted and they mislead the reader as to what the belief of the Trinity is. They protray the Trinity as three gods etc. and that is certainly not what the belief of the Trinity is. Seeing as I'm typing I'll give a quick run down of the belief of the Trinity.

Where does it say that God/Jesus cannot die? Just becuase God/Jesus "died" in our sense of the word doesnt mean that He would 'die'. Come on now. God created the Universe in a thought but yet he cant 'die'? I love how people put limits on God.

IW,

Herk and I are not the same. He's my neighbour, and he uses my computer along with my graphics applications. He just forgot to change the UserName when he sent his last message.

Personally, I don't think he's been any ruder than those who've been rude to him.

Okay I'm back,

Basically the Trinity

The Trinity is a explaination by Men to try to explain the nature of God

The Trinity is not 3 gods. It is ONE God in 3 persons.

ie. We have "seen" God in three ways God the Father, Jesus the son, and The Holy spirit.

They are one, Jesus is a part of god the Holy Spirit is a part of God. They are all eternal. Because they are the same none can be older than another as they are one. Is your hand older than your leg??

The word Trinity came about because of men arguing about the nature of God. It is more of a descriptive word than a "god".

There it is the most basic of descriptions.

One God in three Persons.

Just like I can be a shadetree mechanic, a dad, and a business man. Three different views of the same person.

151,

Similar, but not exactly the same.

Now I'm completely confused. If God is 1 God 3 persons or entities (that was what you were saying right?) Then who was Jesus praying to in the garden the night before his death. If God is God but was in Jesus' form, then who the heck is "Abba Father" that he was addressing?

And who's voice came from heaven when Christ was baptized? AND if Jesus was God in a different form why would he need approval at his baptism?

Crazy,

The trinity is not three different views of the same person. It is one view of three persons.
