Trinity


            I heard a woman talking about this yesterday. Many people these days seem to wonder how it’s possible for there to be 3 “persons” in God. They can’t seem to believe that there can be 3 things in 1. The Blessed Trinity is the truth that only Christians believe in. There is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It’s by faith that we believe that there is a Trinity, but it’s truth.

            The Father is the one who commands people and sends people to do things for Him. He loves everyone and everything the same and He also is slow to anger. He hates those who sin, but loves them again after they have repented. He is the one that most people think of when they hear “God”.

            The Son is the one who came to earth into a human body. He was sent by the Father to die on the cross and wash the sins of the people on earth away. He was the only “person” of God to socially interact with humans and be persecuted by them. He is known to most people as Jesus, the son of God.

            The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. It is the “person” that the Father sends to allow prophets and people who do His work to perform miracles. It also gives supernatural powers to those people as well, including the ability to speak many languages and wisdom. It is usually the “person” that is not thought of to be God, it’s mostly thought of as being just a spirit or power, but this is wrong.

            They are all different persons, but they all are the same God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have many different attributes, but they are all God. There are many examples in the Bible that help to prove this. For example, there is a verse near the beginning of the Bible that has God saying, “Let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26) which implies that there is more than one “person”, but only one God.

            There is much proof that God exists in both the singular and triad forms. Reading some parts of the Bible is one way, but there are other ways as well. Another example is the fact that each “person” of the Trinity has His own distinctive characteristics. Those people who don’t think it’s possible for there to be 3 “persons” in one God are incorrect in their thinking.

  1. So God is the Father and Jesus is God. So one could conclude that Jesus is the Father. It still seems a bit illogical. You seem to state what the Trinity is, but you lack support on why and how it exists. Perhaps you should include the proof that God exists in both the singular and triad form to make the basis for this faith.

  2. The bible doesn't hold the source of truth, observation does. As an altar boy in the catholic church I learned that the hard way

  3. so is God in singular form in belief because people pray to all of these people and supposedly their all God's forms. and the triad is only from the Bible? this kind of confuses me.
