Friend, the doctrine of the Trinity has been embraced by some of the greatest intellectual giants in the West. A little more humility would become you. The doctrine states that God is one in essence and three in person, which means subsistent relation. The Father, Son, and Spirit are all the one God, though they differ in the measure that the Father begets the Son and the Father and Son together breathe out the Spirit.
Humility? How bout humbling yourself before God's Mighty Word. Nowhere does it teach that God is three persons. God honors those who honor Him. Teaching extra-biblical concepts is not honoring to Him in the least.
My late uncle was a lifelong Catholic and he once told me the best sermon he ever heard was one Trinity Sunday many years ago in his then parish in Woking, Surrey (UK). The priest went to the pulpit to deliver his sermon and said, "I'm supposed to say something about The Holy Trinity, but the truth is I don't understand it." With that the priest left the pulpit and continued with the mass. My late uncle was very impressed.
I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe in the significance of Jesus. I understand the concept of God the father... But the explanations of the Holy Trinity have never resonated with me.
Wow, quite insightful father. Although no one can ever fully explain the trinity in our humanistic standards, I think we can't get any closer than what you said right there.
The Biblical foundation for the Trinitarian claim is "God is love." If God is love, then there must be, within the unity of his essence, a play of lover, beloved, and shared love. Otherwise, he loves, but he is not love.
Or can we say the basis of Gods nature is what the word claims ? for instance, Who... raised Jesus from the dead, created all things, dwells in us(believers), speak thru us, etc, Galatians 1:1 {Father raised Jesus from dead} Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; John 2:19-21 {Jesus raised himself from dead} Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. And said, this fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. Matthew 26:61 And said, this fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. Romans 8:11 {Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead} But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

God simply gives us free will through the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ but ... most of us do wrong things - the negation of love-fulfilment? If so, we didn’t realise that we were and are already loved in the first place.
"I and the Father are one." "He who sees me sees the Father." "My son, your sins are forgiven you." "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." "You have a greater than the temple here."
How about monotheism? The religion of the Jews? It existed before the 'christian' trinity as the original religion. Jesus was raised from the dead by God to sit at his right hand in heaven. No trinity there. Why was the Athanasian Creed needed 300 years after Jesus died, supposedly to set matters straight? Why was it a Catholic development of the Catholic Nicene Creed? 2 Creeds to define God as a mystery (contradiction, not sacred secret, incomprehensible). If a trinity belief was required of earlier christians, consisting of converted Jews (apostles and disciples)' and those converting to this brand new Christian religion, why did no Gospel writers mention trinity? Why didn't Paul teach it, the apostle to the nations? He had the job of introducing both the God of Israel and his son, Jesus. He couldn't introduce the holy ghost by name as it had none. A ghost, by definition, is the 'spirit' of a dead human, actually a demon posing as a departed one. So technically, if you insist on the Holy Ghost being an entity or being, the the term would be Holy Demon. But no, Holy Spirit, not ghost, is God's force, not an entity. The trinity goes back thousands of years before Jesus, back to ancient Sumerians, who knew it as a teaching of the gods (demons). Why is the trinity prevalent in demonic false religions? Because it's their teaching. John 1:1 holds no proof for a trinity. "With God" does not mean the same as "was god" - small 'g'. Get a properly translated version. Moses could also fit that John 1:1 scripture perfectly. In the beginning (of the Exodus) was Moses, and Moses was with God (on Mt. Sinai), and Moses was god- to pharaoh (Ex 7:1). The pillar of fire and smoke was an angel, but spoke as God and referred to as God, and that angel was with God in heaven. The judges in Israel were called gods. So John 1:1 can't be used. Angels can be gods. A son of God is not equal toGod as a being. He is definitely not 'the same as'. "A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him..." If God is one being, how can he give himself anything. No one but pagans and demons taught a trinity until 325 AD. Islam knows and accepts God, but not Jesus. And they sprang from Abraham, who had no trinity. They don't accept Jesus, but worship God as Allah, many millions of them. They know the trinity is a lie. No, the burden of proof is on you to replace belief in God with a trinity god, rooted by demons into paganism. Removing God's name was a necessity for the trinity, but that Catholic bible and the King James bible betray the lie. I could be here all night citing scriptures that differentiate Yahweh, Jehovah, the Father- God, from his son Jesus. If you want to worship a nameless incomprehensible God, that's up to you. I discarded the senseless trinity before I ever even read the bible. No one converted me in that. A Muslim insult drove home that god should have a name, and he does. Jehovah? Got that directly from the Catholic Fireside Family Bible, in the concordance at Abijah- "My father is Jehovah." Nowhere else that I found, but it's there. When Catholic kills Catholic or trinitarian on the battlefield, they PROVE who their god really is- Satan.

I think the is true in what Albert Einstein once said that you can only explain something in simple and understandable terms even by a child once you totally understand the subject on hand. Really the true will set us free.
@illwillcpt83 Jesus was sent by the Father, and yet Jesus consistently spoke and acted in the very person of God: "My son, your sins are forgiven; you have a greater than the temple here; unless you love me more than your father and mother, you are not worthy of me; I and the Father are one; he who sees me sees the Father, etc." Therefore, he is other than the Father, but yet shares the same essential nature as the Father. This is the biblical ground for Trinitarian thought.
Jesus Christ is NOT GOD please stop pushing people away from Christianity. Jesus is the son of GOD he was our gift from GOD for atonement. When you say Jesus is GOD it become difficult to save other lost souls. In religion we all must acknowlege that there is ONE GOD and prophets which are all from GOD. But Jesus and GOD had the same purpose and nature and alignment. Mary was Jesus's mother and yes Jesus was GOD like but never GOD. So in our religious history we must accept everyone that GOD not SATAN has blessed us with and all inspirational events such as the GIFT named Jesus Christ who died for our sins. JESUS IS a part of GOD and stems from GOD but he is not GOD...The Father and the son...GOD the FATHER and Jesus the SON. So to be fully submitted to GOD we all must except the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and make him or PERSONNAL SAVIOR BUT NOT GOD.

Excellent explanation! The trinity in a nutshell. I am not Catholic but Fr. Baron lays this out in like, 60 seconds! I think this is a pretty simplified explanation but I am thankful for some understanding on this difficult attribute of God. Thank you Lord for giving us life! :)
Many Christian denominations teach that God is a Trinity. However, note what the Encyclopædia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.” In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity. Note these Bible passages: “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”-Deuteronomy 6:4. “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”-Psalm 83:18. “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”-John 17:3. “God is only one.”-Galatians 3:20. "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."--Colossians 1:15
@@canderssonswedican7486 You're absolutely correct that a word doesn't have to be in the Bible to be supported by the Bibe. However, unfortunately, the Trinity is not only not mentioned, but it's not supported and it's contradicted in the Bible in multiple verses. Jesus never claimed to be equal to God. Instead, Jesus worshipped God. (Luke 22:41-44) A third line of evidence concerns Jesus’ relationship with his followers. Even after he was raised from the dead to the spirit realm, Jesus called his followers “my brothers.” (Matthew 28:10) Were they brothers of Almighty God? Of course not! A few verses to consider. “My Father is greater than I [Jesus].”-John 14:28. * “I [Jesus] ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.”-John 20:17. “To us there is but one God, the Father.”-1 Corinthians 8:6. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”-1 Peter 1:3. “These things saith the Amen [Jesus], . . . the beginning of the creation of God.”-Revelation 3:14. “In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the [Catholic] Church had to develop her own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin.”-Catechism of the Catholic Church. www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201308/trinity/#?insight

Hebrews 10:5 So when Jesus comes into the world, he says: “‘Sacrifice and offering YOU.. DID NOT.. WANT, but YOU PREPARED.. A BODY FOR.. ME. 6 You did not approve of whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.’ 7 Then I said: ‘Look! I have come - in the scroll "Psalm 40:8-6" it is written about me - to do YOUR WILL, O God (JEHOVAH).’ John 6:38 Jesus said: for I have come down from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me. John 12:49 For I have not spoken of my own initiative, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak.
1) Who resurrected Jesus according to the apostles? 2) And who resurrected Jesus according to most Christians now a days? Acts 5:30 The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Son and Servant, Jesus Exodus 6:3 King James Bible And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. And who worship the one who resurrected Jesus and the one Jesus worship now a days? And who dont? John 4:22 Jesus said: You worship what you do not know; WE WORSHIP what we know,
FYI trinity was invented by tertullian an apostle was not instructed by Jesus and trinity was a concept and unofficially declared. In the Bible there's only one persona in God Himself: 1 cor 8:6, 1 tim 2:5 And Holy spirit is also not God but came from God the father: John 14:26 Therefore he is a false prophet: 1 John 4:1-3
you are adding the word "god" in that verse which is not there...that is your opinions...jesus didnt teach trinity neither his students wait for burning fire
@Christian Crusaders : Is this a joke? How can this verse possibly prove a Trinity ? Only TWO are mentioned. Where is the verse that says I and the Holy Ghost are one or the so saith the Holy Ghost : " The Father and I are one." No such verses exist. As for John 10 :30 careful exegesis reveals that we are not talking here about being ontologically one but rather one in purpose / agreement. That is why the disciples are also one . Just read the chapters in context.
I came to this video because of the title and I truly enjoyed your take of God is Love and the object of one that Loves also has to enjoy being Loved. The many ways that a believers spirit can dwell on such a Lovely thing is awesome. Frankly when I got to the comments, I am shocked to find such victriole against the Trinity. It appears there are lots of JW's, Arians, Muslims, Uni's, Oneness Pentecostals, etc,etc... Note that each group that does not believe in the Trinity is also non-Christian, or considered a cult. Very few orthodox Bible believing Christian's are non-Trinitarian. The belief in the Holy Trinity is an orthodox Christian belief. The vast majority of BILLIONS of Christian's worldwide see it clearly within the pages of the Bible in their heart, mind, soul and quickened Spirit. I ask all non-Trinitarians to stop and assess what it is that brought you to this place of unbelief. Please be honest !!! To yourselves ! Think back and remember where you were? what ?how ?when ?who it was that taught you ? or persuaded you and convinced you that the Trinity is not a Biblical concept and especially that Jesus is not God visiting His creation. That what the Bible said...that the Word (God,Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us !! Who persuaded you that was not true ? There is no way that a person can read the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and come away from a thorough reading of them and not see the obvious Deity of Christ. No prophet talks like He does in all the Gospels. Re-read Mark 14:62-64 and read as Jesus declares directly to the High Priest in answer to that direct question we are all asking "Are you the Son of the Blessed?" Everyone within ear shot that heard that question KNEW WHAT WAS BEING ASKED ? JESUS Answered..."I Am" and you will see the Son of man coming on the clouds and sitting on the right hand of the Blessed." Is it necessary for me to explain the Words of Jesus here ? The reaction of the High Priest should tell you all you need to know. Jesus claimed to be God incorporating Daniel's vision as His own in 7 and 9. It is total fallacy to say this is untrue. Where did Jesus ever claim to be God...I say right there and you all know I am correct. Someone got a hold of you and your eternal life depends on whether you can admit that or not. Read the Gospels over again with a new outlook and without preconceived ideas or assurances. When you get to Luke 1:68 where Zacharia the father of John the Baptist gets his voice back and prophecies about Jesus " God has visited His people." In case you missed that one, you can get to chapter 7:14-16 the widow in Nain lost her son and Jesus raises him and the people are amazed and say in 16. "God has visited His people." No Prophet of God would ever say a greater that this is here now, yet Jesus had that authority. No prophet spoke like this. All the Gospels are full of the Deity of Jesus throughout. Just like someone convinced you that the Trinity is not Biblical and you accepted it, the opposite is true of the Bible believing Trinitarian. I have yet to meet an orthodox Bible believing born again spirit filled believer in Christ that needed to have the Trinity explained or coached into them..Never. They believe the moment they are saved by grace through faith in Christ. It is as simple as that ! Christian's early on from Peter, John, the apostles, Paul and early Church Fathers all saw the trinity clearly as a concept within the pages of the Bible. In the OT the Angel of the Lord kept coming into view, wrestling with Jacob. Standing in front of Joshua, going up in the flames of an offering given by Samson's parents. The Holy Spirit is God, the Bible says over and over that God is Spirit. 2 Samuel 23 verse 2 and 3, tell us directly that the Holy Spirit is God. We cannot ignore Scriptures we do not like. We cannot try to explain them away. The time is short, and those who claim they know the Bible yet claim that Jesus is not God in the flesh have "believing" issues that must be dealt with before you stand before His return. I urge all that have an interest and a claim on this topic to forget what was taught to you before and read the Scriptures anew and this time you ask the Lord to be your guide through the Scriptures. I am sorry I wrote a book.
@illwillcpt83 Friend, the Gospel of John commences with the claim that "the Word was with God and the Word was God...and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Any attempt to disprove the divinity of Jesus in John's Gospel is hopeless!
This disciple Thomas realized, because of Jesus’ resurrection, who Jesus really was -- and humbly worshiped Him and declared His true identity: “My Lord and my God!” Jesus not only accepts this declaration, but blesses all of the disciples -- and all of us today -- who come to the same realization and place of humble worship.
No! I don't hold that at all. "Person" is a metaphysical not a psychological category. The Father, Son, and Spirit share utterly in the same divine nature, which means that there aren't three "minds" confronting one another.
No. The Christian idea of the Trinity is derived from the claim that God is love, that is to say, a play of lover, beloved, and love. This in turn came from the specificities of revelation. That said, there are indeed hints and echoes of the Trinity throughout creation and in the arts. This shouldn't surprise us, of course, since the Trinitarian God is the ground of being and the guide of history.
Precisely: "grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." They are put on the same plane, and Paul uses the Greek translation of Adonai (Lord) which is used in the Old Testament to designate Yahweh.
The Greek translation of Adonai? It’s the same as adoni (not God) Sarah called Abraham Lord (same Greek word you think means Adonai) Kurios is used for Adonai and adoni there is not two words for Lord in Greek like in Hebrew 1 Peter 3:6 Sarah called Abraham kurios So she called him Adonai according to you???
Adonai in English translation means the Lord my great Lord. And Yahweh Is the breath of life the God who gave Adam breath. The word God and Lord. God used for yahweh and Lord for Jesus. And in psalms God and Lord both used. Psalm 23 the Lord is my shepherd. And In psalm 91 both Lord and God used

@@v-mariewilliams7058 the term son of god mentioned many times in bible... and all prophets also mentioned as son of god.. r they all god too? nope right.. all prophet got miracles given by Allah from Adam pbuh until Muhammad pbuh.. n jesus during his time never teach people to worship him.. he only worship Allah, one true god.. he pray to Allah in the garden of Gethsemane.. he praying by laying his forehead to the ground, he is fasting for a period of time.. he is circumcised... he is praying to Allah.. he is not praying to himself.. he greet others with shalom aleichem, all same like muslim do this day.. its simple logic.. n why u take the ambiguous statement in bible? there are a lot clear cut statement in bible where jesus said our god is one.. he never claim he is god.. after 325 years, people in roman empire during Constantine time corrupted his real teaching..
@@v-mariewilliams7058 all prophet from adam to jesus and to muhammad had the same clear message, i am the way.. i am the way to god.. ya its true.. because we must follow the prophet teaching to worship one only god.. not claiming jesus is god.. he is human brother..
I know I am a come lately. My understanding is that the Trinity is false. Taken from Matthew 28:19, after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Trinity, not found in the gospel of Jesus, cannot be used, nor true: Galatians 3:15 'though it be but a man's covenant yet if it be confirmed no man disannuls or adds to it' Hebrews 9:16-17 'a testament is of force after men are dead'. The Holy Spirit of God is not God: 1 The Holy Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit of God, not the Holy Spirit God, 'GOD is a spirit" John 4:24 = the Holy Spirit God. The Father's teaching about himself through the Son Jesus is he, the Father, is a man, a man witness for Jesus in John 8:17-18 'it is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who testifies of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me.' Under the law, a man has a material tangible body which is a living soul and a formed spirit within him. The Father, a spirit, is a man having his own material tangible body, a God body, with a spirit within him, the Holy Spirit of God, as 1 Corinthians 2:11 shows 'for what man knows (Greek, knows, but not by experience) the things of a man, save the spirit of man within him?, even so knows (Greek, knows, but not by experience) the things of God, except the Spirit of God' which is within him (within God's God body). Even as the Word 'being in the form of God'/ being in (wore) a God body and 'put on the form of a servant'/ put on a servant body Philippians chapter 2 verses 6-7 of John 1:1! The Holy Spirit of God is not the Holy Spirit God but the Holy Spirit of, within, God! 2 The Holy Spirit of God needs to search all things even the deep things of God to know them, to show them, 'but God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God'. The one God is the Father in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ: 'And this is life eternal to know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent' John.17:3; and 'but to us there is but one God,,,, the Father, ... and the Lord Jesus Christ' / 'the Father of whom is all things, and we in him,, and the Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things and we by him ' 1 Corinthians 8: 6. '
There are three main, sure I know persons, but now there's a fourth: the three main Persons, who each have their own material body and soul, even all four, the three are 'the Comforter (Paraclete), which is the Holy Spirit, is come whom the Father will send it my name' John 14:26, and the fourth the spirit of Christ 'God has sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, crying, abba, father' Galatians 4:6. 'for I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayers, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ' Philippians chapter 1 verse 19. 'if so the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit of, within, God) dwell in you. Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ (the spirit of his son, Jesus Christ 1 John 3:23), he is none of his ' Romans 8:9. . While Jesus was mortal man the Word God was no longer a true (only) God but he had become flesh, a man in all things, made a man. - Jesus was a created man - 'in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people' 'tempted in all points as we' 'but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed' Hebrews 2:17, 4:15, and James 1:14. The Word God in his essence, but man in 'all things' was Jesus As mortal man, emptied of his eternal life 'as the Father has life in himself he has given the Son to have life in himself' John 5:26 of his God body 'put on the form of a servant'/ a servant body : made by God 'when he was coming into the world he said Sacrifice and offering you would not but a body have you prepared me' Hebrews 10:5 'was made flesh' John 1:14 'was made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion as a man' Philippians 2:7-8 'was made in the likeness of sinful flesh' Romans 8:3.
But "I and the Father are one" and "he who sees me sees the Father" and "My son, your sins are forgiven" and "you have a greater than the temple here" and "heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall never pass away," etc. etc. Jesus spoke and acted in the very person of God and the earliest tradition recognized this. Paul says, "though he was in the form of God, Jesus did not deem equality with God a thing to be grasped."
Bishop Robert Barron They are one as in their love and purpose. Just like when it is said therefore a man shall leave his father join to his wife and the two shall become one does not mean they fuse together. Jesus repeatedly reference his father and said his authority came from his father (the one who sent him). I don’t know why the church keeps sugar coating this when Jesus kept referencing his father. The Trinity is not in the bible and men can cook up every explanation and accuse me of heresy but I believe am righteous because the almighty God sent his son Jesus to pay the price for my sins and all my prayers are through Jesus his Father and am guided and grace filled in by the Holy Spirit. Doctrines aside please Bishop. This trinity is not required for my salvation. Call me proud but I don’t believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. Their authority has levels and that is not equal but their union remains one
How about monotheism? The religion of the Jews? It existed before the 'christian' trinity as the original religion. Jesus was raised from the dead by God to sit at his right hand in heaven. No trinity there. Why was the Athanasian Creed needed 300 years after Jesus died, supposedly to set matters straight? Why was it a Catholic development of the Catholic Nicene Creed? 2 Creeds to define God as a mystery (contradiction, not sacred secret, incomprehensible). If a trinity belief was required of earlier christians, consisting of converted Jews (apostles and disciples)' and those converting to this brand new Christian religion, why did no Gospel writers mention trinity? Why didn't Paul teach it, the apostle to the nations? He had the job of introducing both the God of Israel and his son, Jesus. He couldn't introduce the holy ghost by name as it had none. A ghost, by definition, is the 'spirit' of a dead human, actually a demon posing as a departed one. So technically, if you insist on the Holy Ghost being an entity or being, the the term would be Holy Demon. But no, Holy Spirit, not ghost, is God's force, not an entity. The trinity goes back thousands of years before Jesus, back to ancient Sumerians, who knew it as a teaching of the gods (demons). Why is the trinity prevalent in demonic false religions? Because it's their teaching. John 1:1 holds no proof for a trinity. "With God" does not mean the same as "was god" - small 'g'. Get a properly translated version. Moses could also fit that John 1:1 scripture perfectly. In the beginning (of the Exodus) was Moses, and Moses was with God (on Mt. Sinai), and Moses was god- to pharaoh (Ex 7:1). The pillar of fire and smoke was an angel, but spoke as God and referred to as God, and that angel was with God in heaven. The judges in Israel were called gods. So John 1:1 can't be used. Angels can be gods. A son of God is not equal toGod as a being. He is definitely not 'the same as'. "A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him..." If God is one being, how can he give himself anything. No one but pagans and demons taught a trinity until 325 AD. Islam knows and accepts God, but not Jesus. And they sprang from Abraham, who had no trinity. They don't accept Jesus, but worship God as Allah, many millions of them. They know the trinity is a lie. No, the burden of proof is on you to replace belief in God with a trinity god, rooted by demons into paganism. Removing God's name was a necessity for the trinity, but that Catholic bible and the King James bible betray the lie. I could be here all night citing scriptures that differentiate Yahweh, Jehovah, the Father- God, from his son Jesus. If you want to worship a nameless incomprehensible God, that's up to you. I discarded the senseless trinity before I ever even read the bible. No one converted me in that. A Muslim insult drove home that god should have a name, and he does. Jehovah? Got that directly from the Catholic Fireside Family Bible, in the concordance at Abijah- "My father is Jehovah." Nowhere else that I found, but it's there. When Catholic kills Catholic or trinitarian on the battlefield, they PROVE who their god really is- Satan.
@@flymasterA FYI trinity was invented by tertullian an apostle was not instructed by Jesus and trinity was a concept and unofficially declared on 3th century. In the Bible there's only one persona in one God itself: 1 cor 8:6, 1 tim 2:5
God went through a process. Becoming man, died and resurrected to become the life-giving Spirit. Now all the God is and has, is in THIS SPIRIT! And now with our inner most part (our spirit (little 's' - 1 Thes 5:23) we can receive all that he is! By calling OH LORD JESUS we get the triune God!
Don't be silly. There aren't three "parts" to God. God is simple and indivisible in his essence. The persons refer to subsistent relations within the unity of the divine essence. There are three because the Father knows himself (in the Son) and loves himself (in the Spirit).
As an atheist, i came here for answers, to understand what i may believe in one day. i am now more confused than ever. not only do I not understand how these three entities are one, but now i cant understand how an entity, can literally be an emotion.
First off, it’s good that you’re here, second, it’s okay. It’s not easy to grasp but what meta truth or potential meta truth is? God is love bc God is not separate from his attributes, God is simple, not composed of parts. God is what comes before all else. Free Will, consciousness, personhood, capacity for complex emotional expression etc. Are all abilities that ultimately stem from God for Christians. This means that imma technical sense, God is not personal, but pre-personal, or supre-personal, or hmm super-personal. In other words whatever it means to be a person greater in God, just as God’s knowledge and power is greater. So this means that if God exist, it necessarily follows that God’s personhood is plural greater than any human beings. I’m simple terms God is super-personal, and within God is a community as such. It will take some studying to better understand this stuff, bc it’s pretty big brained, even I have trouble getting and yet it does make sense to me now.
Beam , Satan hates his father Jehovah (Yahweh, YHWH), and hates everything He has created. The trinity serves many functions for Satan, all intended to diminish him. His position as the one true God is shared, He has an equal, His name is removed, and a nameless 3rd gets treated like God. All falsehoods taught in the churches of Babylon the Great.
Beam , They built the Catholic church on the trinity doctrine cloaked in Latin, in the Athanasian Creed, which is all a pack of lies. So they have to defend it in plain English now. The trinity is defined as a mystery, so how can they explain a mystery? Why didn't Jesus explain it to the Jews when he was here? Why didn't Paul reveal it to disciples converting from other religions. Why didn't Jesus explain it in the book of Revelations? The trinity is not a 'sacred secret' type of mystery, like when does the 2nd coming occur. It is a mystery of a self-contradictory lie with incomprehensible meanings and un-scriptural conclusions. Satan is the architect of the trinity. He is the father of the lie and a liar. It's quite possible that he envisions himself as that 3rd member, since he considers himself a god. If you look behind the demonic lies of the Sumerian writings, you can see Satan's hand in creating a whole story background describing God, gods, angels, demons, Nephilim, and perverted mankind. Moses didn't devote much time in telling of Satan so as not to share God's stage with him. He told us what we need to know about Satan, what his methods are, how to fight him, and what is his fate. To divert our attention to lies and false narratives serves Satan. We can present evidence for the true God, logic, and reason with scriptures galore, but there are none so blind as those who will not see. Part of a being true Christian requires belief that Jesus died for our sins. God can't die. That's a paradox right there in the definition. Whether Catholic or Protestant, the trinity means that, whether you believe it is not, Mary is the mother of God. Another contradiction, but right in line with Satan's attack. But Satan has blinded the minds of his followers, and all we can do is expose them to truth, and God will draw them if he wants to save them.
please send me the Bible text for that, I cannot find any scriptural text relating to God consisting of three persons. Can only find texts that contradict the idea.
@@ismail.dalhatu Try Mat 28:18-20, it was Jesus' order. Paul never mentioned trinity? You need to read his way of greeting in which he used Lord (Jesus), God (Father), Holy Spirit. I mean, yeah, where did Paul get the idea? Just a hint, by "greeting" I mean it can be at the beginning or at the end. I apologize for not giving you the verse. It seems like you have read all of Paul's writings. You might have skipped it because there is no word of "Trinity" written in the bible. Just like the word "Bible" itself is nowhere to be found except in the bible cover. Well, good luck finding Paul mentioning of the trinity.
"Before Abraham was, I Am" Right there. The name "I Am" is God's name, and God's alone. Any ancient Jew would have known this. And what do you know? Jesus was an ancient Jew speaking with other ancient Jews about Jewish matters. One cannot even begin to understand the Bible unless you delve into the Jewish roots of the New Testament and the New Covenant.
Maximilian Ruane Abram was before Abraham. God made a covenant with Abram then changed his name to Abraham. Before Abraham I was, refers to God’s promise of a saviour...
How to understand Trinity?For more details, please watch the sermon of the Light of Wisdom Church, welcome everyone to study and discuss together. Video “The Trinity ｜God from God, Light from Light｜Reincarnation | I Am the way, the truth and the life 08” If you think it makes sense, we must not only believe it ourselves, but also spread it to more people. Evangelism is not only the job of pastors, but also the responsibility of every believer. This is also the aspect that the Lord values most when ascending to the kingdom of heaven.
+k lang You're right, me too! And god is not the author of confusion, according to the Bible! There can be only ONE true god. The Bible had been corrupted, forged and changed by the scribes!
Don't listen to hoopoe bird. We know what the original texts said. There have been minor errors over time, but the Christian manuscript tradition is the wealthiest of antiquity
The Trinity can be best explained being compared to Time. Time is made up of Past, Present and Future. Past is not Present and Present is not Future. But all are fully Time on their own. So you can take John 1:1 and this is how it would sound. john 1:1 In the Beginning was Past and Past was with Time and Past is Time.

What was the "early" Christian teaching? Do you have references? I have one: Ignatius of Antioch (A.D. 110) "[T]o the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God" (Letter to the Ephesians 1 ) "For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit" (ibid., 18:2).
The ground for the Trinity is biblical(Revalation) ...not a philosophical deduction ..its inclusion in Creeds is a CONSEQUENCE ..not a cause of trinitarian faith.
Tom Greene - The only trinity found in the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the Dragon, the False Prophet, and the Beast. The false religion of the gods of men.
Yea you gotta understand that you're trying understand God by your God created mind which hard for your mind to understand how God is instead the better yet to do as and orthodox Christian is just to say I don't speak out of my empty head I shall bow before him and worship him because there's nothing about me at the end of the day
i got some problems with the trinity, but first a question, what's with the hand gesture in 2:04? one of the two seem to always have that. like the holding of an arrow on a bow (kinda like the antichrist in Revelation 6:2)
God: Father and WORD and Spirit with ONE NAME - JESUS/ me (human): soul and body and spirit with one (Biblical) name - Nathanael I hope i was helpful Bro! Elohim/ YHWH/ YESHUA - JESUS CHRIST bless you Abundantly!
As a Muslim i will never understand the trinity. God by definition is the most high, the most powerful, etc... You cant have Two most highs if none of them is higher than the other, they would then be equal to eachother and therefore none of them is a god because God by definition has no equals. If there was no one supreme God and instead we had multiple gods who are equally most powerful then their all-powerful nature means they would naturally seek to overpower eachother and each will be soveirgn of his own separate share of the creation which wont allow for the harmony and the fine tuning of the universe which makes our life possible.
The Christian Trinity is the Mother, Father, and Son. The "Holy Spirit," has always been the Female and is often depicted as the Dove and Ark (womb). The father and son are one.
simply by being created in the likeness and image of God, we humans are the simplest form of God himself, we have a SOUL-BODY-SPIRIT (3 in 1), but we will never comprehend the complexity of his nature because we are not God, just a representation of him
i admire muslims because of their dedication but you have to realise that mohammad has a long history of resentment for jews and christians, that's why he fabricated a book design solely for revenge, you can obviously see how he entice 'MEN' of their earthly desires through it because he needed soldiers, he has a lot of hatred in his heart but you you don't have to bear it as a new and intellectual generation of muslims, because you deserve peace and happiness just like the rest of humanity
@@kingkongplays5875 Being made in the image of God makes us both male (Zakar) and female (Nekebah). We are the IU in IU Piter (Jupiter). The I is male and the U is female.
People of faith wouldn’t threaten, people of true faith wouldn’t separate belief between BELIEVERS. Separation causes division, which causes unnecessary chaos, unnecessary negativity as well. my religion is I believe in god and the trinity and the trinity makes up the one god . My religion is love, peace and INDIVIDUAL love between god and me. Not god and we(meaning other peoples opinions) The individual relationship is between me and Jesus, me and the Holy Ghost and the Heavenly Father. People separate them when it’s a holy relationship. When in reality god is all three in 1. There is only one and he is made up of 3, the 3 help each other become one. It’s a truly beautiful relationship
It is also important to make a clear distinction between The Trinity (One Essence and Three Persons) and The Incarnation of The Word (One Person and Two Essences). You can discuss The Trinity without any reference to Christ.
I think most Christians didn't know that the doctrine of the Trinity was never taught in the Bible, but it is a revelation! God of the Bible is Omnipresent, meaning God not only is everywhere but can also travel to the past and the future. God in heaven is outside of time and is not bound by time and space. Our universe, however, is in a loop of time (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Human logic, time and space are the reason why Trinity is revealed in the Bible. If I am almighty god who created the universe, walked the earth with Adam, Abraham, Jacob, Moses…etc for 7000 years, and not being bound by time and space, then I can travel back 4000 years to the past I will see my past self. And likewise, if I travel 4000 years into the future I will see my future self since I am eternal. This means there are three of me, past+present+future! We three are all equal. So does that mean that the past me and the future me whom I met isn't me? I can speak to myself! However, I will surely respect the past me. Because without the past me there will be no present and future me in time and space. Maybe that's why Jesus said 'the Father is greater than I' (John 14:28). Jesus did travel through time, pass and future! Jesus said that He was there before Abraham was born (John 8:58), (Jesus was the one who walked in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8), Jesus appeared as Melchizedek (Genesis 14 & Hebrews 7), Jesus appeared to Hagar (Genesis 16), Jesus appeared to Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 18), Jesus wrestled with Jacob (Genesis 32:30 & Hosea 12:4), Jesus walked pass Moses while covering Moses’ eyes (Exodus 33), Jesus was the fourth man standing in the furnace (Daniel 3:25), Jesus spoke from heaven when only God can do that (Acts 9:5), Jesus seated on the throne (Revelation 20, 21 & Isaiah 6:1)…and more! In Christianity, Father is the beginning or source (God in Spirit form in the past), Jesus is the Son (God became man), and the Holy Spirit (God in Spirit form in the future). Because God saw the future of humanity ending in hell due to all have sinned (Romans 3:23) and those whose name not written in the book of life are thrown to the lake of fire (Revelations 20), hence the Trinity met back in the very beginning (Genesis 1:26) to create Adam and agreed to save mankind through the death of Jesus. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) and the only payment for our sin is the shedding of blood and death (Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22). But because God so love the world (John 3:16), He provided a sacrificial lamb once and for all (Hebrews 5,7,9 &10). Only God can pay that ransom, but since God is spirit (John 4:24) and is eternal He can't bleed and die. So in order to make that sacrifice possible God became man (Isaiah 9:6) in the human form of Jesus Christ (immortal). Jesus is the sacrificial lamb that will take away the sins of the world forever (John 1:29 & Revelations 13:8). While Jesus is now seated in heaven's throne, He already sent the Holy Spirit (John 14,15 &16) to be our new helper, comforter and guide today and the future! Jesus is God Almighty!
No wonder I was so confused as a Catholic kid growing up. We were taught that 3 = 1. The Catholic bible that I have destroys the trinity if you read it without forced trinity understanding. It also has God's name Jehovah. The nuns and Christian Brothers lied to my face when I asked if God had a name, even in the face of the Lord's Prayer. "God doesn't have or need a name." was their reply. Then I found God's name in my wife's KJV, but saw the LORD in other places meant God's name was removed. The Catholic bible didn't use the capitals at all, 7000+ times. So I bought a few more bible translations (long before on-line versions)' and ALL admitted that God has a name, just had different opinions on whether to use it or not. So I invested in a Hebrew/Greek-English interlinear 4 vol. bible set that had Jehovah all 7000+ times. So God has a name, to the shame of the Catholic church. Changing the bible from smoke-screen Latin to archaic English revealed countless lies taught by the CC. That confused even more the doctrine of the trinity, which made no sense to me. They told me it was an incomprehensible 'mystery', but contradictions by the dozens were still hindering bible understanding. They showed me the Athanasian Creed, which just put admittedly contradictory and incomprehensible terms into writing. "Can't question it. It's a mystery." I was told. More research followed from my bibles and the library and copiers. Everything I was taught in Catholic grade and high school were lies. No wonder I never cracked a bible in 12 years in Catholic schools. Never required to own one. Just a catechism book and missal. So 3=1, the father is the son, and a holy ghost (def. ghost= demon) is co-equal to God. I said good-bye without looking back and without regrets. I've been asked by family if I'm ever coming back. I said "Would you hire an accountant who couldn't add 1 + 1 + 1 and come up with 3?" After saying a 1000 rosaries (after confessions), I finally learned what the Lord's prayer meant. Why return to ignorance?
@@flymasterA I understand you, but the NAME of God is JESUS, YHWH is His OLD Name in the O.T., before His Name was El Shaddai (Deut. 6:3) Biblical mathematics: Father + Word (Son) + Spirit (The H.S.) = GOD (ELOHIM) soul + body + spirit = human The NAME of the Father and the Son and the H.S. is JESUS (YESHUA) - Mathew 28:19/Acts 2:38 Joel 2:32 states that every one who will call the Name of the LORD (YHWH) will be saved and in Romans 9 we must confess LORD (YHWH) Jesus Mar-YAH JESUS CHRIST bless you!

I like the video, but I'm not sure it clears anything up...as opposed to muddies the waters. You describe various metaphorical trinities, but not really THE Trinity. How can you describe the Trinity without even mentioning the Holy Spirit (and its role)?
God is love says it all. That's a beautiful connection you make there - the love, beloved and lover. In this light, does the following make sense? Father - a divine transcendental ideal, The Son - earthly and accessible manifestation of God, and Spirit - connecting element between the Father and the Son? The
I have a question? Is there any other persons in The Trinity other than The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost? For example: Is The Burning Bush from Exodus 3, Pillar of Cloud by Day & Pillar of Cloud by Night from Exodus 13, Man that wrestled with Jacob from Genesis 32, Angelic Man that spoke with Abraham from Genesis 18, etc.. Are these included within or outside of The Trinity and do these persons of God have their own thrones and is their scriptures to back up the answer for these separate persons of God?
You're just being silly here. The Creed teaches that there is one God. The three persons share equally in that one Godhead. Thus, one God, three persons.
Is the Godhead the trinity? Let scripture show it... Colossians 2:9 “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,” 1 Corinthians 11:3 “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.” Philippians 2:7 “but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.” 1 Eternal spirit God from where the holy spirit emanates + 1 Eternal body which is the body of flesh = Godhead
bubba morris God does not need woman to manifest in Christ. Christ was created by God who used a woman without sin, to be a man created in flesh, no doubt.
bubba morris Little is known about Mary and traditionally it has been taught that Mary was without sin, but no mention of this thought can be sourced from the Bible. Much emphasis is traditionally placed on a new Eve, without mentioning Adam. Christ I believe is a new Adam, who is the firstborn among the dead.
bubba morris I am not a protestant. I am traditionally catholic. But have a strong belief in Unitarianism. I reject trinitarianism. Sorry to offend you.
The problem with that is on one hand it is said God is the father and Jesus is the son and then all the sudden Jesus is God. So wether there are two God's then or Jesus is God and father and son at the same time. How can that be? You can't be your own child. As well as you can't work together with yourself in that case. You can just work as one person not as a team, if there's only one.
Listened intently and still didn’t understand a word he said. Honestly all sounds kind of crazy when you think about it a lot 🤣- and I was raised catholic.
I can't tell you how much I'd prefer a real counter-argument to this vague accusation. I laid out the classic explanation whereby the Trinity is a precision of the claim that God is love, which is to say, a play of lover, beloved, and love, all within the unity of one divine essence. Tell me precisely where you think this is inadequate.
Agreed. God is Holy and God is Spirit, thus God is Holy Spirit. When the Spirit comes it is either the Father or the Son or both depending on the biblical context.
God’s reply in Hebrew was: ʼEh·yeh′ ʼAsher′ ʼEh·yeh′. Some translations render this as “I AM THAT I AM.” However, it is to be noted that the Hebrew verb ha·yah′, from which the word ʼEh·yeh′ is drawn, does not mean simply “be.” Rather, it means “become,” or “prove to be.”
Its quite simple really, if Heavenly Father sent his son(Jesus) to live on this earth 2,000 years ago. Then Heavenly Father is living in heaven.....listening and watching our every move.
I get that in order to be Love there may need to be another entity to love. The problem is, if there’s another entity it is necessarily a different entity. Ultimately we are all made up of God Himself, physically. But in our current form, we are separate entities. So I don’t see how God the Father and Jesus can truly be the same entity following the logic of “to be Love there must be someone else to love”. However, I’m not at all convinced that there necessarily needs to have always been someone else for God to love in order for Him to be Love.
Jesus is reflecting back to the young man why the young man calls him GOOD teacher, the young man wants a better answer and more pleasing to him. It all depends on the way that Jesus says the question.
Nonsense. The doctrine of the Trinity is the full explication of the claim in 1 John that God is love. If love is what God is, then there must be within the unity of God a play of lover, beloved, and love.
I know this is an old post, and from what I see you must be tired of giving counter arguments to those who don't believe in the Trinity. I have respect for others' beliefs, and I'm trying to understand christianity. Despite all this I'd like to try to communicate with you, since I have no email of you to send you a message. There is so much to say about the Deity and if He is a Trinity or not. But specifically with what you're saying in this comment. Why do you (Christians) use our human logic with the Eternal Being? If I'm correct you understand God as a Being who is outside of our dimensions, and thus it's impossible for us to fully understand Him. So why use the logic of relationship for love with Him if this (relationships) is something created? Isn't it simpler to think that the essence of God is love and that's the way He relates to us (His creation), but the way He is love in the Eternity is something we can't understand or access to? Note: I currently understand and believe in God in a more jewish way.
. 23 And in that day YOU will ask me no question at all. Most truly I say to YOU, If YOU ask the Father for anything he will give it to YOU in my name. 24 Until this present time YOU have not asked a single thing in my name. Ask and YOU will receive, that YOUR joy may be made full.

Friend, the doctrine of the Trinity has been embraced by some of the greatest intellectual giants in the West. A little more humility would become you. The doctrine states that God is one in essence and three in person, which means subsistent relation. The Father, Son, and Spirit are all the one God, though they differ in the measure that the Father begets the Son and the Father and Son together breathe out the Spirit.
Humility? How bout humbling yourself before God's Mighty Word. Nowhere does it teach that God is three persons. God honors those who honor Him. Teaching extra-biblical concepts is not honoring to Him in the least.
My late uncle was a lifelong Catholic and he once told me the best sermon he ever heard was one Trinity Sunday many years ago in his then parish in Woking, Surrey (UK). The priest went to the pulpit to deliver his sermon and said, "I'm supposed to say something about The Holy Trinity, but the truth is I don't understand it." With that the priest left the pulpit and continued with the mass.
My late uncle was very impressed.

Well, it's the same one offered by St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. I'll happily stand with them.
The Biblical foundation for the Trinitarian claim is "God is love." If God is love, then there must be, within the unity of his essence, a play of lover, beloved, and shared love. Otherwise, he loves, but he is not love.

God simply gives us free will through the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ but ... most of us do wrong things - the negation of love-fulfilment? If so, we didn’t realise that we were and are already loved in the first place.

How about monotheism? The religion of the Jews? It existed before the 'christian' trinity as the original religion.
Jesus was raised from the dead by God to sit at his right hand in heaven. No trinity there.
Why was the Athanasian Creed needed 300 years after Jesus died, supposedly to set matters straight?
Why was it a Catholic development of the Catholic Nicene Creed? 2 Creeds to define God as a mystery (contradiction, not sacred secret, incomprehensible).
If a trinity belief was required of earlier christians, consisting of converted Jews (apostles and disciples)' and those converting to this brand new Christian religion, why did no Gospel writers mention trinity? Why didn't Paul teach it, the apostle to the nations? He had the job of introducing both the God of Israel and his son, Jesus. He couldn't introduce the holy ghost by name as it had none. A ghost, by definition, is the 'spirit' of a dead human, actually a demon posing as a departed one. So technically, if you insist on the Holy Ghost being an entity or being, the the term would be Holy Demon. But no, Holy Spirit, not ghost, is God's force, not an entity.
The trinity goes back thousands of years before Jesus, back to ancient Sumerians, who knew it as a teaching of the gods (demons).
Why is the trinity prevalent in demonic false religions? Because it's their teaching.
John 1:1 holds no proof for a trinity. "With God" does not mean the same as "was god" - small 'g'. Get a properly translated version.
Moses could also fit that John 1:1 scripture perfectly. In the beginning (of the Exodus) was Moses, and Moses was with God (on Mt. Sinai), and Moses was god- to pharaoh (Ex 7:1). The pillar of fire and smoke was an angel, but spoke as God and referred to as God, and that angel was with God in heaven.
The judges in Israel were called gods. So John 1:1 can't be used. Angels can be gods. A son of God is not equal toGod as a being. He is definitely not 'the same as'.
"A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him..." If God is one being, how can he give himself anything.
No one but pagans and demons taught a trinity until 325 AD. Islam knows and accepts God, but not Jesus. And they sprang from Abraham, who had no trinity. They don't accept Jesus, but worship God as Allah, many millions of them. They know the trinity is a lie.
No, the burden of proof is on you to replace belief in God with a trinity god, rooted by demons into paganism. Removing God's name was a necessity for the trinity, but that Catholic bible and the King James bible betray the lie.
I could be here all night citing scriptures that differentiate Yahweh, Jehovah, the Father- God, from his son Jesus.
If you want to worship a nameless incomprehensible God, that's up to you.
I discarded the senseless trinity before I ever even read the bible. No one converted me in that. A Muslim insult drove home that god should have a name, and he does.
Jehovah? Got that directly from the Catholic Fireside Family Bible, in the concordance at Abijah- "My father is Jehovah." Nowhere else that I found, but it's there.
When Catholic kills Catholic or trinitarian on the battlefield, they PROVE who their god really is- Satan.

@illwillcpt83 Jesus was sent by the Father, and yet Jesus consistently spoke and acted in the very person of God: "My son, your sins are forgiven; you have a greater than the temple here; unless you love me more than your father and mother, you are not worthy of me; I and the Father are one; he who sees me sees the Father, etc." Therefore, he is other than the Father, but yet shares the same essential nature as the Father. This is the biblical ground for Trinitarian thought.
Jesus Christ is NOT GOD please stop pushing people away from Christianity. Jesus is the son of GOD he was our gift from GOD for atonement. When you say Jesus is GOD it become difficult to save other lost souls. In religion we all must acknowlege that there is ONE GOD and prophets which are all from GOD. But Jesus and GOD had the same purpose and nature and alignment. Mary was Jesus's mother and yes Jesus was GOD like but never GOD. So in our religious history we must accept everyone that GOD not SATAN has blessed us with and all inspirational events such as the GIFT named Jesus Christ who died for our sins. JESUS IS a part of GOD and stems from GOD but he is not GOD...The Father and the son...GOD the FATHER and Jesus the SON. So to be fully submitted to GOD we all must except the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and make him or PERSONNAL SAVIOR BUT NOT GOD.

What is your background then?
Many Christian denominations teach that God is a Trinity. However, note what the Encyclopædia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.”
In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity. Note these Bible passages:
“Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”-Deuteronomy 6:4.
“You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”-Psalm 83:18.
“This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”-John 17:3.
“God is only one.”-Galatians 3:20.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."--Colossians 1:15
@@canderssonswedican7486 You're absolutely correct that a word doesn't have to be in the Bible to be supported by the Bibe. However, unfortunately, the Trinity is not only not mentioned, but it's not supported and it's contradicted in the Bible in multiple verses.
Jesus never claimed to be equal to God. Instead, Jesus worshipped God. (Luke 22:41-44) A third line of evidence concerns Jesus’ relationship with his followers. Even after he was raised from the dead to the spirit realm, Jesus called his followers “my brothers.” (Matthew 28:10) Were they brothers of Almighty God? Of course not!

As for John 10 :30 careful exegesis reveals that we are not talking here about being ontologically one but rather one in purpose / agreement. That is why the disciples are also one . Just read the chapters in context.

Re-read Mark 14:62-64 and read as Jesus declares directly to the High Priest in answer to that direct question we are all asking "Are you the Son of the Blessed?" Everyone within ear shot that heard that question KNEW WHAT WAS BEING ASKED ?
JESUS Answered..."I Am"
and you will see the Son of man coming on the clouds and sitting on the right hand of the Blessed."
Is it necessary for me to explain the Words of Jesus here ?
The reaction of the High Priest should tell you all you need to know. Jesus claimed to be God incorporating Daniel's vision as His own in 7 and 9. It is total fallacy to say this is untrue.
Where did Jesus ever claim to be God...I say right there and you all know I am correct.
Someone got a hold of you and your eternal life depends on whether you can admit that or not.
Read the Gospels over again with a new outlook and without preconceived ideas or assurances.
When you get to Luke 1:68 where Zacharia the father of John the Baptist gets his voice back and prophecies about Jesus " God has visited His people." In case you missed that one, you can get to chapter 7:14-16 the widow in Nain lost her son and Jesus raises him and the people are amazed and say in 16. "God has visited His people."
No Prophet of God would ever say a greater that this is here now, yet Jesus had that authority. No prophet spoke like this.
All the Gospels are full of the Deity of Jesus throughout.
Just like someone convinced you that the Trinity is not Biblical and you accepted it, the opposite is true of the Bible believing Trinitarian.
I have yet to meet an orthodox Bible believing born again spirit filled believer in Christ that needed to have the Trinity explained or coached into them..Never. They believe the moment they are saved by grace through faith in Christ.
It is as simple as that !
Christian's early on from Peter, John, the apostles, Paul and early Church Fathers all saw the trinity clearly as a concept within the pages of the Bible.
In the OT the Angel of the Lord kept coming into view, wrestling with Jacob. Standing in front of Joshua, going up in the flames of an offering given by Samson's parents. The Holy Spirit is God, the Bible says over and over that God is Spirit.
2 Samuel 23 verse 2 and 3, tell us directly that the Holy Spirit is God.
We cannot ignore Scriptures we do not like. We cannot try to explain them away.
The time is short, and those who claim they know the Bible yet claim that Jesus is not God in the flesh have "believing" issues that must be dealt with before you stand before His return.
I urge all that have an interest and a claim on this topic to forget what was taught to you before and read the Scriptures anew and this time you ask the Lord to be your guide through the Scriptures.
I am sorry I wrote a book.
Amen brother. Well put.
@Andrew Israel
Bless your heart...
Do never take your eyes off of the Lord Jesus Christ. Stay close to the Master.
I mean, it’s a straight line path. Jesus is the word. Jesus is the son of God. But it also says that God is the word. Trinity.
Thank you. I have been watching 30min vids regarding trinity, but this is what I'm looking for 🙏🏻
@illwillcpt83 Friend, the Gospel of John commences with the claim that "the Word was with God and the Word was God...and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Any attempt to disprove the divinity of Jesus in John's Gospel is hopeless!
This disciple Thomas realized, because of Jesus’ resurrection, who Jesus really was -- and humbly worshiped Him and declared His true identity: “My Lord and my God!” Jesus not only accepts this declaration, but blesses all of the disciples -- and all of us today -- who come to the same realization and place of humble worship.

That's exactly what the devil does.
@@Victoria-wg7jbActually no.
@@justchilling704 The Devil beautifies his speech
The world needs more people who embody God's love than abstractions about God and Jesus being one person
No! I don't hold that at all. "Person" is a metaphysical not a psychological category. The Father, Son, and Spirit share utterly in the same divine nature, which means that there aren't three "minds" confronting one another.
@@BishopBarron you're saying Jesus didn't seek help from "the father"? That is one mind seeking help from another. Absolutely contradicting.
No. The Christian idea of the Trinity is derived from the claim that God is love, that is to say, a play of lover, beloved, and love. This in turn came from the specificities of revelation. That said, there are indeed hints and echoes of the Trinity throughout creation and in the arts. This shouldn't surprise us, of course, since the Trinitarian God is the ground of being and the guide of history.
Precisely: "grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." They are put on the same plane, and Paul uses the Greek translation of Adonai (Lord) which is used in the Old Testament to designate Yahweh.
The Greek translation of Adonai?
It’s the same as adoni (not God)
Sarah called Abraham Lord (same Greek word you think means Adonai)
Kurios is used for Adonai and adoni there is not two words for Lord in Greek like in Hebrew
1 Peter 3:6
Sarah called Abraham kurios
So she called him Adonai according to you???
Adonai the Lord My Great Lord. And Yahweh the breath of life
Adonai in English translation means the Lord my great Lord. And Yahweh Is the breath of life the God who gave Adam breath. The word God and Lord. God used for yahweh and Lord for Jesus. And in psalms God and Lord both used. Psalm 23 the Lord is my shepherd. And In psalm 91 both Lord and God used
When you say Lord Same as God.
Psalm 23 says the Lord is my shepherd jesus is the shepherd and David knew Jesus as the shepherd in the book of psalms the use of Lord and God

This to me is probably is the most confusing subject to me. After two years of Catholicism class, I was immensely confused on this subject, but you have just explained it so clearly in a way that makes sense
If God was love he would end all human suffering.
God is love.. therefore he give us freedom of will. Without which you will not have the freedom to say what you just said.
God doesn't cause human suffering though.

❤❤wonderful explanation about trinity ❤❤
@markpaghi Of course I believe what Jesus said in John 14:11. Jesus is not the same as the Father, though they share one substance. Of course I believe that the Bible is God's word.
No! The Holy Spirit is the Love that connects the Father and the Son. Thus there are only three, not four. If you say that Jesus is a human person and that the Spirit is only an angel, you are revisiting two heresies that were condemned in the early church.
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.
Jesus wasn't made by God the Father, in the same sense that humans were made. Christ was there from thr beginning, 'In the beginning was the Word'
@@v-mariewilliams7058 if that is the concept, how about Melchizedek? r u worship him as god too? in bible he is mentioned “without father or mother” and “without beginning of days or end of life”
the truth is, jesus is human same like all the other prophets.. he is one of the mightiest prophet of Allah.. during his time, he never claim he is god... n he pray to one god, only one god.. the trinity concept came later in 325ad in councils of nicea where they corrupt everything... n make him as god.. this is the mockery of the real teaching of jesus..
@@ahmadfirdausshahari9268 Jesus is fully God and fully Man. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The concept of the trinity like many things came about to help us understand, that doesn't mean it came out of nothing. To say Jesus was just a great prophet is a mockery to what he said. To deny his divinity is to make him a lier. ''I am the bread of life' 'I am the way, the truth and the life' 'Truly I say to you before Abraham was, I am' 'I and the Father are one' Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God' Like Thoms we acknowledge Jesus as My Lord and my God.
@@v-mariewilliams7058 the term son of god mentioned many times in bible... and all prophets also mentioned as son of god.. r they all god too? nope right.. all prophet got miracles given by Allah from Adam pbuh until Muhammad pbuh.. n jesus during his time never teach people to worship him.. he only worship Allah, one true god.. he pray to Allah in the garden of Gethsemane.. he praying by laying his forehead to the ground, he is fasting for a period of time.. he is circumcised... he is praying to Allah.. he is not praying to himself.. he greet others with shalom aleichem, all same like muslim do this day.. its simple logic.. n why u take the ambiguous statement in bible? there are a lot clear cut statement in bible where jesus said our god is one.. he never claim he is god.. after 325 years, people in roman empire during Constantine time corrupted his real teaching..
@@v-mariewilliams7058 all prophet from adam to jesus and to muhammad had the same clear message, i am the way.. i am the way to god.. ya its true.. because we must follow the prophet teaching to worship one only god.. not claiming jesus is god.. he is human brother..

@illwillcpt83 Unscriptural? "Go and preach to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matt. 28.
I know I am a come lately.
My understanding is that the Trinity is false.
Taken from Matthew 28:19, after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Trinity, not found in the gospel of Jesus, cannot be used, nor true:
Galatians 3:15 'though it be but a man's covenant yet if it be confirmed no man disannuls or adds to it'
Hebrews 9:16-17 'a testament is of force after men are dead'.
The Holy Spirit of God is not God:
1 The Holy Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit of God, not the Holy Spirit God, 'GOD is a spirit" John 4:24 = the Holy Spirit God.
The Father's teaching about himself through the Son Jesus is he, the Father, is a man, a man witness for Jesus in John 8:17-18
'it is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who testifies of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me.' Under the law, a man has a material tangible body which is a living soul and a formed spirit within him.
The Father, a spirit, is a man having his own material tangible body, a God body, with a spirit within him, the Holy Spirit of God, as 1 Corinthians 2:11 shows 'for what man knows (Greek, knows, but not by experience) the things of a man, save the spirit of man within him?, even so knows (Greek, knows, but not by experience) the things of God, except the Spirit of God' which is within him (within God's God body).
Even as the Word 'being in the form of God'/ being in (wore) a God body and 'put on the form of a servant'/ put on a servant body Philippians chapter 2 verses 6-7 of John 1:1!
The Holy Spirit of God is not the Holy Spirit God but the Holy Spirit of, within, God!
2 The Holy Spirit of God needs to search all things even the deep things of God to know them, to show them,
'but God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God'.
The one God is the Father in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ:
'And this is life eternal to know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent' John.17:3; and 'but to us there is but one God,,,, the Father, ... and the Lord Jesus Christ' / 'the Father of whom is all things, and we in him,, and the Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things and we by him ' 1 Corinthians 8: 6.
'
There are three main, sure I know persons, but now there's a fourth: the three main Persons, who each have their own material body and soul, even all four, the three are
'the Comforter (Paraclete), which is the Holy Spirit, is come whom the Father will send it my name' John 14:26,
and the fourth the spirit of Christ 'God has sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, crying, abba, father' Galatians 4:6. 'for I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayers, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ' Philippians chapter 1 verse 19.
'if so the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit of, within, God) dwell in you. Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ (the spirit of his son, Jesus Christ 1 John 3:23), he is none of his ' Romans 8:9.
. While Jesus was mortal man the Word God was no longer a true (only) God but he had become flesh, a man in all things,
made a man. - Jesus was a created man -
'in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people' 'tempted in all points as we' 'but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed' Hebrews 2:17, 4:15, and James 1:14. The Word God in his essence, but man in 'all things' was Jesus
As mortal man, emptied
of his eternal life
'as the Father has life in himself he has given the Son to have life in himself' John 5:26
of his God body
'put on the form of a servant'/ a servant body : made by God 'when he was coming into the world he said Sacrifice and offering you would not but a body have you prepared me' Hebrews 10:5
'was made flesh' John 1:14
'was made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion as a man' Philippians 2:7-8
'was made in the likeness of sinful flesh' Romans 8:3.

Catholics are the original bible Christian's thank you bishop barron.
But "I and the Father are one" and "he who sees me sees the Father" and "My son, your sins are forgiven" and "you have a greater than the temple here" and "heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall never pass away," etc. etc. Jesus spoke and acted in the very person of God and the earliest tradition recognized this. Paul says, "though he was in the form of God, Jesus did not deem equality with God a thing to be grasped."
Bishop Robert Barron They are one as in their love and purpose. Just like when it is said therefore a man shall leave his father join to his wife and the two shall become one does not mean they fuse together. Jesus repeatedly reference his father and said his authority came from his father (the one who sent him). I don’t know why the church keeps sugar coating this when Jesus kept referencing his father. The Trinity is not in the bible and men can cook up every explanation and accuse me of heresy but I believe am righteous because the almighty God sent his son Jesus to pay the price for my sins and all my prayers are through Jesus his Father and am guided and grace filled in by the Holy Spirit. Doctrines aside please Bishop. This trinity is not required for my salvation. Call me proud but I don’t believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. Their authority has levels and that is not equal but their union remains one
@Jesushchristofnaz How I appreciate a calm, measured counter-argument!
How about monotheism? The religion of the Jews? It existed before the 'christian' trinity as the original religion.
Jesus was raised from the dead by God to sit at his right hand in heaven. No trinity there.
Why was the Athanasian Creed needed 300 years after Jesus died, supposedly to set matters straight?
Why was it a Catholic development of the Catholic Nicene Creed? 2 Creeds to define God as a mystery (contradiction, not sacred secret, incomprehensible).
If a trinity belief was required of earlier christians, consisting of converted Jews (apostles and disciples)' and those converting to this brand new Christian religion, why did no Gospel writers mention trinity? Why didn't Paul teach it, the apostle to the nations? He had the job of introducing both the God of Israel and his son, Jesus. He couldn't introduce the holy ghost by name as it had none. A ghost, by definition, is the 'spirit' of a dead human, actually a demon posing as a departed one. So technically, if you insist on the Holy Ghost being an entity or being, the the term would be Holy Demon. But no, Holy Spirit, not ghost, is God's force, not an entity.
The trinity goes back thousands of years before Jesus, back to ancient Sumerians, who knew it as a teaching of the gods (demons).
Why is the trinity prevalent in demonic false religions? Because it's their teaching.
John 1:1 holds no proof for a trinity. "With God" does not mean the same as "was god" - small 'g'. Get a properly translated version.
Moses could also fit that John 1:1 scripture perfectly. In the beginning (of the Exodus) was Moses, and Moses was with God (on Mt. Sinai), and Moses was god- to pharaoh (Ex 7:1). The pillar of fire and smoke was an angel, but spoke as God and referred to as God, and that angel was with God in heaven.
The judges in Israel were called gods. So John 1:1 can't be used. Angels can be gods. A son of God is not equal toGod as a being. He is definitely not 'the same as'.
"A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him..." If God is one being, how can he give himself anything.
No one but pagans and demons taught a trinity until 325 AD. Islam knows and accepts God, but not Jesus. And they sprang from Abraham, who had no trinity. They don't accept Jesus, but worship God as Allah, many millions of them. They know the trinity is a lie.
No, the burden of proof is on you to replace belief in God with a trinity god, rooted by demons into paganism. Removing God's name was a necessity for the trinity, but that Catholic bible and the King James bible betray the lie.
I could be here all night citing scriptures that differentiate Yahweh, Jehovah, the Father- God, from his son Jesus.
If you want to worship a nameless incomprehensible God, that's up to you.
I discarded the senseless trinity before I ever even read the bible. No one converted me in that. A Muslim insult drove home that god should have a name, and he does.
Jehovah? Got that directly from the Catholic Fireside Family Bible, in the concordance at Abijah- "My father is Jehovah." Nowhere else that I found, but it's there.
When Catholic kills Catholic or trinitarian on the battlefield, they PROVE who their god really is- Satan.
@@flymasterA FYI trinity was invented by tertullian an apostle was not instructed by Jesus and trinity was a concept and unofficially declared on 3th century.
In the Bible there's only one persona in one God itself:
1 cor 8:6, 1 tim 2:5
God went through a process. Becoming man, died and resurrected to become the life-giving Spirit. Now all the God is and has, is in THIS SPIRIT! And now with our inner most part (our spirit (little 's' - 1 Thes 5:23) we can receive all that he is! By calling OH LORD JESUS we get the triune God!
Don't be silly. There aren't three "parts" to God. God is simple and indivisible in his essence. The persons refer to subsistent relations within the unity of the divine essence. There are three because the Father knows himself (in the Son) and loves himself (in the Spirit).
@TheCaledonianBoy What I mean is, Trinity is there in essence but it's name is not there.

Hadi Orujizare and a lie
Or fake.

As an atheist, i came here for answers, to understand what i may believe in one day. i am now more confused than ever. not only do I not understand how these three entities are one, but now i cant understand how an entity, can literally be an emotion.
First off, it’s good that you’re here, second, it’s okay. It’s not easy to grasp but what meta truth or potential meta truth is?
God is love bc God is not separate from his attributes, God is simple, not composed of parts. God is what comes before all else. Free Will, consciousness, personhood, capacity for complex emotional expression etc. Are all abilities that ultimately stem from God for Christians. This means that imma technical sense, God is not personal, but pre-personal, or supre-personal, or hmm super-personal. In other words whatever it means to be a person greater in God, just as God’s knowledge and power is greater. So this means that if God exist, it necessarily follows that God’s personhood is plural greater than any human beings.
I’m simple terms God is super-personal, and within God is a community as such. It will take some studying to better understand this stuff, bc it’s pretty big brained, even I have trouble getting and yet it does make sense to me now.
"Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name..." So what is God's name, how to keep it holy?
2. Why was Jesus baptized if he is god???
flymasterA Jesus isn’t God. A really big lie lots of people can’t get past for some reason.
Beam , Satan hates his father Jehovah (Yahweh, YHWH), and hates everything He has created. The trinity serves many functions for Satan, all intended to diminish him. His position as the one true God is shared, He has an equal, His name is removed, and a nameless 3rd gets treated like God. All falsehoods taught in the churches of Babylon the Great.
All the hours on TH-cam of deceivers trying to explain trinity don’t make it correct. A lie is still a lie.
flymasterA th-cam.com/video/YzviptMAUC4/w-d-xo.html
Beam , They built the Catholic church on the trinity doctrine cloaked in Latin, in the Athanasian Creed, which is all a pack of lies. So they have to defend it in plain English now. The trinity is defined as a mystery, so how can they explain a mystery? Why didn't Jesus explain it to the Jews when he was here? Why didn't Paul reveal it to disciples converting from other religions. Why didn't Jesus explain it in the book of Revelations?
The trinity is not a 'sacred secret' type of mystery, like when does the 2nd coming occur. It is a mystery of a self-contradictory lie with incomprehensible meanings and un-scriptural conclusions.
Satan is the architect of the trinity. He is the father of the lie and a liar. It's quite possible that he envisions himself as that 3rd member, since he considers himself a god. If you look behind the demonic lies of the Sumerian writings, you can see Satan's hand in creating a whole story background describing God, gods, angels, demons, Nephilim, and perverted mankind. Moses didn't devote much time in telling of Satan so as not to share God's stage with him. He told us what we need to know about Satan, what his methods are, how to fight him, and what is his fate.
To divert our attention to lies and false narratives serves Satan. We can present evidence for the true God, logic, and reason with scriptures galore, but there are none so blind as those who will not see.
Part of a being true Christian requires belief that Jesus died for our sins. God can't die. That's a paradox right there in the definition.
Whether Catholic or Protestant, the trinity means that, whether you believe it is not, Mary is the mother of God. Another contradiction, but right in line with Satan's attack.
But Satan has blinded the minds of his followers, and all we can do is expose them to truth, and God will draw them if he wants to save them.
There is One God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, a unity of 3 co-eternal persons. They work in perfect unity and harmony🙏
please send me the Bible text for that, I cannot find any scriptural text relating to God consisting of three persons. Can only find texts that contradict the idea.
Why is it a lie? Show me where I'm wrong.

:D
"Before Abraham was, I Am"
Right there. The name "I Am" is God's name, and God's alone. Any ancient Jew would have known this.
And what do you know? Jesus was an ancient Jew speaking with other ancient Jews about Jewish matters.
One cannot even begin to understand the Bible unless you delve into the Jewish roots of the New Testament and the New Covenant.
NO
Maximilian Ruane Abram was before Abraham. God made a covenant with Abram then changed his name to Abraham.
Before Abraham I was, refers to God’s promise of a saviour...
How to understand Trinity?For more details, please watch the sermon of the Light of Wisdom Church, welcome everyone to study and discuss together. Video “The Trinity ｜God from God, Light from Light｜Reincarnation | I Am the way, the truth and the life 08”
If you think it makes sense, we must not only believe it ourselves, but also spread it to more people. Evangelism is not only the job of pastors, but also the responsibility of every believer. This is also the aspect that the Lord values most when ascending to the kingdom of heaven.
i watched this to understand the faith of my family. i dont get this trinity thing at all. it is confusing as hell. this video didnt make any sense.
+k lang You're right, me too! And god is not the author of confusion, according to the Bible! There can be only ONE true god. The Bible had been corrupted, forged and changed by the scribes!
Don't listen to hoopoe bird. We know what the original texts said. There have been minor errors over time, but the Christian manuscript tradition is the wealthiest of antiquity
The Trinity can be best explained being compared to Time.
Time is made up of Past, Present and Future.
Past is not Present and Present is not Future. But all are fully Time on their own.
So you can take John 1:1 and this is how it would sound.
john 1:1
In the Beginning was Past and Past was with Time and Past is Time.

What was the "early" Christian teaching? Do you have references? I have one: Ignatius of Antioch (A.D. 110)
"[T]o the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God" (Letter to the Ephesians 1 )
"For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit" (ibid., 18:2).
The ground for the Trinity is biblical(Revalation) ...not a philosophical deduction ..its inclusion in Creeds is a CONSEQUENCE ..not a cause of trinitarian faith.

As a Muslim i will never understand the trinity.
God by definition is the most high, the most powerful, etc... You cant have Two most highs if none of them is higher than the other, they would then be equal to eachother and therefore none of them is a god because God by definition has no equals.
If there was no one supreme God and instead we had multiple gods who are equally most powerful then their all-powerful nature means they would naturally seek to overpower eachother and each will be soveirgn of his own separate share of the creation which wont allow for the harmony and the fine tuning of the universe which makes our life possible.
The Christian Trinity is the Mother, Father, and Son. The "Holy Spirit," has always been the Female and is often depicted as the Dove and Ark (womb). The father and son are one.
Even some Christians don't believe in a trinity it came with it's pagan roots almost three hundred years after Christ.
simply by being created in the likeness and image of God, we humans are the simplest form of God himself, we have a SOUL-BODY-SPIRIT (3 in 1), but we will never comprehend the complexity of his nature because we are not God, just a representation of him
i admire muslims because of their dedication but you have to realise that mohammad has a long history of resentment for jews and christians, that's why he fabricated a book design solely for revenge, you can obviously see how he entice 'MEN' of their earthly desires through it because he needed soldiers, he has a lot of hatred in his heart but you you don't have to bear it as a new and intellectual generation of muslims, because you deserve peace and happiness just like the rest of humanity

Being made in the image of God makes us both male (Zakar) and female (Nekebah).
We are the IU in IU Piter (Jupiter). The I is male and the U is female.
People of faith wouldn’t threaten, people of true faith wouldn’t separate belief between BELIEVERS. Separation causes division, which causes unnecessary chaos, unnecessary negativity as well. my religion is I believe in god and the trinity and the trinity makes up the one god . My religion is love, peace and INDIVIDUAL love between god and me. Not god and we(meaning other peoples opinions) The individual relationship is between me and Jesus, me and the Holy Ghost and the Heavenly Father. People separate them when it’s a holy relationship. When in reality god is all three in 1. There is only one and he is made up of 3, the 3 help each other become one. It’s a truly beautiful relationship

It is also important to make a clear distinction between The Trinity (One Essence and Three Persons) and The Incarnation of The Word (One Person and Two Essences). You can discuss The Trinity without any reference to Christ.
My point exactly. Your college degrees do not mean you know what you're talking about.
I think most Christians didn't know that the doctrine of the Trinity was never taught in the Bible, but it is a revelation! God of the Bible is Omnipresent, meaning God not only is everywhere but can also travel to the past and the future. God in heaven is outside of time and is not bound by time and space. Our universe, however, is in a loop of time (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Human logic, time and space are the reason why Trinity is revealed in the Bible. If I am almighty god who created the universe, walked the earth with Adam, Abraham, Jacob, Moses…etc for 7000 years, and not being bound by time and space, then I can travel back 4000 years to the past I will see my past self. And likewise, if I travel 4000 years into the future I will see my future self since I am eternal. This means there are three of me, past+present+future! We three are all equal. So does that mean that the past me and the future me whom I met isn't me? I can speak to myself! However, I will surely respect the past me. Because without the past me there will be no present and future me in time and space. Maybe that's why Jesus said 'the Father is greater than I' (John 14:28). Jesus did travel through time, pass and future! Jesus said that He was there before Abraham was born (John 8:58), (Jesus was the one who walked in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8), Jesus appeared as Melchizedek (Genesis 14 & Hebrews 7), Jesus appeared to Hagar (Genesis 16), Jesus appeared to Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 18), Jesus wrestled with Jacob (Genesis 32:30 & Hosea 12:4), Jesus walked pass Moses while covering Moses’ eyes (Exodus 33), Jesus was the fourth man standing in the furnace (Daniel 3:25), Jesus spoke from heaven when only God can do that (Acts 9:5), Jesus seated on the throne (Revelation 20, 21 & Isaiah 6:1)…and more! In Christianity, Father is the beginning or source (God in Spirit form in the past), Jesus is the Son (God became man), and the Holy Spirit (God in Spirit form in the future). Because God saw the future of humanity ending in hell due to all have sinned (Romans 3:23) and those whose name not written in the book of life are thrown to the lake of fire (Revelations 20), hence the Trinity met back in the very beginning (Genesis 1:26) to create Adam and agreed to save mankind through the death of Jesus. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) and the only payment for our sin is the shedding of blood and death (Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22). But because God so love the world (John 3:16), He provided a sacrificial lamb once and for all (Hebrews 5,7,9 &10). Only God can pay that ransom, but since God is spirit (John 4:24) and is eternal He can't bleed and die. So in order to make that sacrifice possible God became man (Isaiah 9:6) in the human form of Jesus Christ (immortal). Jesus is the sacrificial lamb that will take away the sins of the world forever (John 1:29 & Revelations 13:8). While Jesus is now seated in heaven's throne, He already sent the Holy Spirit (John 14,15 &16) to be our new helper, comforter and guide today and the future! Jesus is God Almighty!
They are subsistent relations, three different ways of possessing the one Godhead.
No wonder I was so confused as a Catholic kid growing up. We were taught that 3 = 1. The Catholic bible that I have destroys the trinity if you read it without forced trinity understanding. It also has God's name Jehovah. The nuns and Christian Brothers lied to my face when I asked if God had a name, even in the face of the Lord's Prayer. "God doesn't have or need a name." was their reply.
Then I found God's name in my wife's KJV, but saw the LORD in other places meant God's name was removed. The Catholic bible didn't use the capitals at all, 7000+ times. So I bought a few more bible translations (long before on-line versions)' and ALL admitted that God has a name, just had different opinions on whether to use it or not. So I invested in a Hebrew/Greek-English interlinear 4 vol. bible set that had Jehovah all 7000+ times.
So God has a name, to the shame of the Catholic church. Changing the bible from smoke-screen Latin to archaic English revealed countless lies taught by the CC.
That confused even more the doctrine of the trinity, which made no sense to me. They told me it was an incomprehensible 'mystery', but contradictions by the dozens were still hindering bible understanding. They showed me the Athanasian Creed, which just put admittedly contradictory and incomprehensible terms into writing. "Can't question it. It's a mystery." I was told.
More research followed from my bibles and the library and copiers. Everything I was taught in Catholic grade and high school were lies. No wonder I never cracked a bible in 12 years in Catholic schools. Never required to own one. Just a catechism book and missal.
So 3=1, the father is the son, and a holy ghost (def. ghost= demon) is co-equal to God. I said good-bye without looking back and without regrets.
I've been asked by family if I'm ever coming back. I said "Would you hire an accountant who couldn't add 1 + 1 + 1 and come up with 3?"
After saying a 1000 rosaries (after confessions), I finally learned what the Lord's prayer meant. Why return to ignorance?
@@flymasterA I understand you, but the NAME of God is JESUS, YHWH is His OLD Name in the O.T., before His Name was El Shaddai (Deut. 6:3)
Biblical mathematics: Father + Word (Son) + Spirit (The H.S.) = GOD (ELOHIM)
soul + body + spirit = human
The NAME of the Father and the Son and the H.S. is JESUS (YESHUA) - Mathew 28:19/Acts 2:38
Joel 2:32 states that every one who will call the Name of the LORD (YHWH) will be saved and in Romans 9 we must confess LORD (YHWH) Jesus

@HaMossad1 Well, the Hebrew can be rendered either way. And the Trinity doesn't in any way undermine the validity of theShema.
@illwillcpt83 He was with God from all eternity. To say that Jesus is the "beginning of creation" is to say that he is the principle by which finite being came to be.
"Hear, O Israel: JEHOVAH our God is one JEHOVAH". In line with 1 Corinthians 8:6, the Father/God of Israel/JEHOVAH only is God.

I like the video, but I'm not sure it clears anything up...as opposed to muddies the waters. You describe various metaphorical trinities, but not really THE Trinity. How can you describe the Trinity without even mentioning the Holy Spirit (and its role)?
Here is another example: The Apostle Peter (Acts 5:3-4) said that lying to the Holy Spirit was lying to GOD.
Dear Bishop, you should do an interview with Kate Hardiman i think it would be beneficial to your Church.
The Trinity concept is a perfect example of how humans over time have an innate tendency to complicate a very simple and elegant idea.
God is love says it all. That's a beautiful connection you make there - the love, beloved and lover. In this light, does the following make sense? Father - a divine transcendental ideal, The Son - earthly and accessible manifestation of God, and Spirit - connecting element between the Father and the Son? The
But friend, you have to tell me why you think this explanation is inadequate.
I have a question?
Is there any other persons in The Trinity other than The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost?
For example:
Is The Burning Bush from Exodus 3, Pillar of Cloud by Day & Pillar of Cloud by Night from Exodus 13, Man that wrestled with Jacob from Genesis 32, Angelic Man that spoke with Abraham from Genesis 18, etc.. Are these included within or outside of The Trinity and do these persons of God have their own thrones and is their scriptures to back up the answer for these separate persons of God?
Well no one argues that Jesus is divine in his human nature! Of course his body isn't divine.
You're just being silly here. The Creed teaches that there is one God. The three persons share equally in that one Godhead. Thus, one God, three persons.
Is the Godhead the trinity? Let scripture show it...
Colossians 2:9 “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,”
1 Corinthians 11:3 “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.”
Philippians 2:7 “but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.”
1 Eternal spirit God from where the holy spirit emanates + 1 Eternal body which is the body of flesh = Godhead
bubba morris God does not need woman to manifest in Christ. Christ was created by God who used a woman without sin, to be a man created in flesh, no doubt.
bubba morris Little is known about Mary and traditionally it has been taught that Mary was without sin, but no mention of this thought can be sourced from the Bible. Much emphasis is traditionally placed on a new Eve, without mentioning Adam. Christ I believe is a new Adam, who is the firstborn among the dead.
bubba morris I am not a protestant. I am traditionally catholic. But have a strong belief in Unitarianism. I reject trinitarianism. Sorry to offend you.
3 can be one if you understand it like this- they work as one
The problem with that is on one hand it is said God is the father and Jesus is the son and then all the sudden Jesus is God. So wether there are two God's then or Jesus is God and father and son at the same time. How can that be? You can't be your own child. As well as you can't work together with yourself in that case. You can just work as one person not as a team, if there's only one.
Listened intently and still didn’t understand a word he said. Honestly all sounds kind of crazy when you think about it a lot 🤣- and I was raised catholic.
I can't tell you how much I'd prefer a real counter-argument to this vague accusation. I laid out the classic explanation whereby the Trinity is a precision of the claim that God is love, which is to say, a play of lover, beloved, and love, all within the unity of one divine essence. Tell me precisely where you think this is inadequate.
Any book recommendations on trinity?
The hypostasis is magnetite iron

Agreed. God is Holy and God is Spirit, thus God is Holy Spirit. When the Spirit comes it is either the Father or the Son or both depending on the biblical context.
Yes, emphasising to the young rich man exactly who he is talking to (to God).
God’s reply in Hebrew was: ʼEh·yeh′ ʼAsher′ ʼEh·yeh′. Some translations render this as “I AM THAT I AM.” However, it is to be noted that the Hebrew verb ha·yah′, from which the word ʼEh·yeh′ is drawn, does not mean simply “be.” Rather, it means “become,” or “prove to be.”
Thank you.
As kids we called the Trinity Daddy-O, Junior and Spook.
Its quite simple really, if Heavenly Father sent his son(Jesus) to live on this earth 2,000 years ago. Then Heavenly Father is living in heaven.....listening and watching our every move.
I get that in order to be Love there may need to be another entity to love. The problem is, if there’s another entity it is necessarily a different entity.
Ultimately we are all made up of God Himself, physically. But in our current form, we are separate entities.
So I don’t see how God the Father and Jesus can truly be the same entity following the logic of “to be Love there must be someone else to love”.
However, I’m not at all convinced that there necessarily needs to have always been someone else for God to love in order for Him to be Love.
Jesus is reflecting back to the young man why the young man calls him GOOD teacher, the young man wants a better answer and more pleasing to him.
It all depends on the way that Jesus says the question.
Nonsense. The doctrine of the Trinity is the full explication of the claim in 1 John that God is love. If love is what God is, then there must be within the unity of God a play of lover, beloved, and love.
I know this is an old post, and from what I see you must be tired of giving counter arguments to those who don't believe in the Trinity. I have respect for others' beliefs, and I'm trying to understand christianity. Despite all this I'd like to try to communicate with you, since I have no email of you to send you a message.
There is so much to say about the Deity and if He is a Trinity or not. But specifically with what you're saying in this comment. Why do you (Christians) use our human logic with the Eternal Being? If I'm correct you understand God as a Being who is outside of our dimensions, and thus it's impossible for us to fully understand Him. So why use the logic of relationship for love with Him if this (relationships) is something created? Isn't it simpler to think that the essence of God is love and that's the way He relates to us (His creation), but the way He is love in the Eternity is something we can't understand or access to?
Note: I currently understand and believe in God in a more jewish way.
. 23 And in that day YOU will ask me no question at all. Most truly I say to YOU, If YOU ask the Father for anything he will give it to YOU in my name. 24 Until this present time YOU have not asked a single thing in my name. Ask and YOU will receive, that YOUR joy may be made full.
muslims also say that "god is love", this is one of the most fundamental aspects to sufi practices for example.
