So from what I understand.

The Trinity is God is three persons, yet all three are separate from each other.

Also, they're not equal to each other.

How does that make any sense?

How does that make any sense? They are God's three
"forms".

They are all equal in knowledge, power, and presence.

They have different roles though, but at the same time, the same roles.

It is difficult to understand, but yeah.

An atom can have three particles, all of them are the same single atom and are connected, but all of them are seperate.

Although the trinity is one of those things that the Bible never explains in detail, that is how I see it.

The Holy Trinity is something I don't think anyone truly understands other than God, Himself. Just saying that it is different forms or aspects of God isn't enough.

When Jesus walked as a human on earth He prayed to His Father on several occasions. Was He just praying to an aspect of Himself? What would be the point of that? That seems like something someone with a multiple personality disorder would do.


There is a verse where He says only the Father truly knows when He Himself would return. If He and the Father are truly equal and just different aspects of the same being shouldn't He know that as well?


In John 3:16 where it says that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." why does it not instead just say "For God so loved the world that He gave Himself..."?


There are many other verses that also put holes in the argument that the Trinity is just different parts of God rather than it being three separate and distinct persons.


With that said, I do in fact believe that there is truly only one God. The trinity is just something I (and probably many others) probably will never truly understand.

Very easy.

God = The supreme being

Jesus = God's son

The Holy Ghost = An expression of god's love (what impregnated Mary, Jesus' mum)

The Trinity = God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are the same, but also separate. Like water can be a liquid, a solid or a gas. Gas! Gas

The water argument makes no sense to me.

Water can only exist in one of those forms at any given point in time.

All three members of the Trinity have existed forever.

I think the Trinity is illogical and therefore cannot exist.

The Trinity is 3 Gods, so polytheism.

Or

God is 3 entities, each being 1/3 of God.

So each member is not "fully God."

But Catholics say neither of those is true.

So they think Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and the Father is God.

Yet, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Father are not the same as each other.

Logical contradiction.

Water can exist in all three forms, but it is still water. All three of the trinity have the same powers, goals, and understanding as the other. They aren't separate gods, but rather, are three forms of one god that exist at the same time.

let us not confuse Christianity and Catholicism

Catholicism invented Trinity where there is one god with three perfectly equal persons: father, son, holy ghost

in Christianity and in the Bible, there is a Godhead, the three are united as one but not perfectly equal: the Father is the greatest of all, greater than Christ and the Holy Ghost

Three persons by definition would be three beings.

Worshipping Jesus goes against the first two of the Ten Commandments. Hence why Jewish people worship One God and not Three.

Psalms and Proverbs state that the Father God has begotten a Son, and prophet Isaiah prophesied a child born and be called a "Mighty God"

the Jews don't believe in the Trinity, i guess? i think they are more of a "oneness" type, just acknowledging the Father and not His Son

Well obviously because that was the First Commandment which was literally set in stone for them.

Christians really wanted to worship Jesus, but they were also aware of the Ten Commandments thats why theyve interpreted it that way. Where its One but Three.

But Hindus also say all their Gods have One essence. So that idea is essentially Polytheism. Especially when you make idols of your Gods which breaks the Second Commandment.

yup, but that's Catholicism...i believe they are many Protestants who also embrace Christianity but that reject Catholic doctrine of idolatry, or creating and worshipping graven images

Bible-based Christians worship Jesus Christ without using Catholic's Trinity, because in Trinity, the three persons are perfectly equal - which is not the case in the Bible, the Father is greater than Christ (John 14:28)

in the Bible, the Father Almighty is the supreme being, His state of being (or nature) is God

the Son, Jesus Christ, also has the same state of being (or nature) because He was born or begotten by the Father, that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6), He was the Word and the Word was God (John 1:1)

the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit is basically the Spirit of the Father given its own being (Matthew 10:20), if the Father has a state of being of God, so is His Spirit

in some sense or perspective, there is a synecdoche (collective term) here esp. by the Hebrew word "Elohim", transliterated as "God" but plural in meaning, in Greek there is "Theotes" or Godhead also pertaining to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Exactly, the core doctrine of Christianity seems to be more extrapolation from the texts, than anything concrete told to them by Jesus.

John's book were written last I believe, and his books give Jesus that Divine nature much more so than the others.
