As a student of physics, I learned that light has three principal parts. The luminiferous (the light you see) the calorific (heat you feel) and the actinic (the molecular effect on film). Any analogy is imperfect but I think light itself (Jesus said I am the way the truth and the light) is one of the best.

After viewing this video, and reading many comments below I conclude this. First let me say I am a simple man. I have education beyond high school. I find great joy and wonder learning about God, and the many wonders of the Bible and such. I am often reminded that I am a finite being trying so hard to understand and grasp an infinte God. I strongly beleive that God honrs my honest efforts to know and understand Him. I enjoy hearing the insights of others. I ponder them, look at scripture, and pray. Thank you all for your thoughts. Let us eagerly search the scriptures, talk amongst ourselves, but always remember to ask for the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. Let us pray for our faith to grow in Christ, for the salvation of friends and family, and for our nation. Stay the course...fight the good fight. Keep our eyes in Jesus. God richly bless you all.

I don't think we can ever produce an analogy of the Trinity that is 100% accurate; for a start our finite minds cannot comprehend such a mind-blowing concept. As a Pastor the analogy I often use is one given to me many years ago by another Pastor who has now gone on to be with the Lord. The analogy says this; as we were originally made in God's image, to 'understand' the Trinity we should look at our self. We are made up of three separate parts, body, soul and spirit. Our body is not our soul or spirit; our soul is not our body or spirit; our spirit is not our body or soul. Each has its own function yet they are all part of me - one person - and if one were missing I would cease to exist. In some ways I see what one might call the 'created form of God' in a human being, namely our soul represents God the Father (The centre of all that is); our body represents the Son (God made flesh) and our spirit represents the Holy Spirit (God the Spirit). This is an analogy of course so should not to be taken literally! Of course like all the others this analogy is not perfect but I think it's a good one.

Jesus' prayer to his God Jehovah will be of help. (John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their coming to know YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and the one whom YOU SENT, Jesus Christ.

I think the best example is given in Genesis 1. HUMANS. We are made in the image of God. We are triune beings. We have a spirit, a soul, and a body. Each part distinct, but each part uniquely makes up who we are.

[@edwardhines2237]

I would use that analogy but some might say does not scripture say God breathed into man and he became a living soul also while scripture calls us living souls it calls God a quickening spirit. Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born of the Spirit to see the kingdom of God. We like to use the word spirit but how is it that we are spiritually dead until born again and the only ones who can worship God in Spirit and truth are those who are born again. It seems that Spirit would be his Spirit which would leave out humanity.

[@totobey176]

Gen. 2:7 (KJV) "the man became a living soul" after God breathed life into him (ruach, nepesh or pneuma), so the equation is Human body + life force (ruach, nepesh or pneuma) = Living Soul Eze. 18:4 (KJV) "the soul that sinneth, it shall die".

[@michaelwhitworth8214]

I agree but not to the extent that this is a supporting analogy for the trinitarian concept of God, much rather the opposite. Adam was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27-27) yet he was one person comprised of or possessing multiple aspects of being: body, soul, and spirit/mind. So it is with God. He is one person: Father in creation (Mal. 2:10) and uniquely of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1); Son in redemption via the incarnation, (Matthew 1:20-23 and Luke 1:35): and Holy Spirit in nature/essence. (John 4:24) We further see this truth via the Great Commission: Matthew 28:18-20 KJV - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Luke 24:46-48 KJV - And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. Acts 2:14 KJV - But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: This was fulfilled when Peter preached on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2:38 KJV - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 16:18-19 KJV - And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Acts 2:41 KJV - Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 2:47 NKJV - praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. Respectfully,

This is actually not a good analogy to use. Because our body, spirit and soul are not 3 distinct persons. However the best analogy is indeed mankind. Because God created 1 mankind who is separate persons. Every man on earth shares the same nature/being of mankind. Yet we are multipersonal, separate persons. In the same manner God is 1 nature/being of God, yet God is multipersonal Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

[@ThoHeSlayMe-f1g]

People can naysay this but it is on point. We are the same as God, in ability and role in this universe and beyond, but we are indeed in His image as triune entities, soul (life eternal, essence, awareness, etc), spirit (energy, power, see Genesis 1:2, ‘hovered’ was actually ‘vibrated’ or ‘fluttered’, energy was introduced into the universe’, and physical body, both temporal in this ‘lifetime’ and glorified or condemned for all eternity. Wherever we go, we will receive a body fit for that destination. I have never heard anyone else pick that very low hanging fruit right there in the beginning of the Bible and sort out the simplicity of understanding the trinity, ‘let Us make man in Our Image’.

[@banzakidimye348]

I think one of the biggest problems is that people do not understand the nature of analogies. No single analogy can fully describe ANYTHING - never mind the Trinity. We use analogies everyday ... e.g. we may describe a ruby as being "blood red". In this we are using blood to describe the ruby - but, it must be noted that we are only analogising ONE aspect of the ruby; its colour. The describe the size of the ruby, one would have to use a different analogy - a pea, a pigeon egg, a sparrow egg, or whatever. And one could continue using a different object to convey an appropraiate characteristic of the ruby. And, I think, that when we as Christians use analogies to describe the Trinity, we fall into the trap of trying to find ONE analogy that will explain every aspect of the Trinity - which of course is impossible. I believe that analogies are useful. Jesus, when communicating spiritual truths, always used analogies (parables, metaphors, etc); He never used logic. And He used many different parables - each parable communicating a different truth. NO ONE parable could communicate ALL spiritual truth.

[@derrickcox7761]

That's a lot of bother for a false doctrine.

[@truthmatters7573]

I hear you, and there's an element of truth to that, but at the same time even if you use an analogy to describe only part of the truth, your analogy is still flawed if it better describes error than it does truth, with respect to the part of the truth you are trying to explain. This is why the circles are a good analogy (they accurately communicate both the simultaneous oneness and distinctness of Father Son and Spirit, even though it fails to capture the personal element of the divine nature, that is not a problem because it is a related but secondary consideration). This is why both the water and 3 humans analogies don't work. Water is not simultaneously one and three, it is consecutively one and three. Humans are not one in the same sense as God is one, even though they too are personal. Hence these better describe the various misunderstandings of the trinity, which is exactly what you want to exclude by using the analogy to explain the trinity in the first place.

@@truthmatters7573 An Old Testament prophet described so-called intellectuals today as " ever learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth".

[@mathewsamuel1386]

​@truthmatters7573 Sorry, the circle analogy is as bad as any other. It doesn't capture the Oneness at all because the nature of each circle includes its color and position of its centre. Even if you make the circles all the same color, they would still fail to share the same nature because they will have different centres!

[@truthmatters7573]

@@mathewsamuel1386 Did you and I watch the same video? He clearly said 3 perfectly overlapping circles. That means they have the exact same center and the exact same radius. They are identical in space, but different in expression. What makes the analogy work is that the circles are identical in one way (center point and radius) but distinct in another way (border color) and all three exist simultaneously exhibiting these properties. Mathematically border color is not even part of the definition of a circle only radius and center point are, therefore these 3 circles are mathematically identical, not just equal or similar. These three circles exist independently and simultaneously as distinct identical circles. Now no analogy is perfect, and the shortcoming here is that we are talking about an abstract object instead of a person, but other than that it does not lead you to an erroneous understanding of the way in which God is one and the way in which God is three. If we wanted to create a creed for this analogy we could say that this analogy neither divides the space nor confounds the circles.

What if tritheism is modified in this way: human beings have distinct natures, but God being (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) has a common nature (omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent)? This accounts for the Godhead existing individually and jointly at the same time. This is how I understand the Trinity, and it is kind of similar to the last analogy.

That is another foolish analogy, especially because the Holy Spirit is the _power_ that allows the Father and Son to be all-knowing, all-powerful, and see everything. That's what Gabriel said it is in Luk. 1:35: the _power_ of God. It is how the Father and Son are able to execute Their will. That is what was hovering over the waters in Gen. 1: God's _power_ . It was NOT, and is NOT, a separate God. Nor is it a separate self that exists inside God. It is _power_ !

Galatians 1:1 says that the Father raised Jesus from the dead.

Wicked men could kill His body, but they could not change His eternal nature or diminish His divine power.

I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.” No one else in the history of the world has ever had the authority both to lay down his life and to raise it up again.

As long as you are aware that those things don't actually "exist", they are mere concepts. You can think of a fictional character, and draw it, and share it, and still that character does not "exist" beyond our imagination and representations of it. A sentence only "exists" as long as we agree on its validity (the sounds being consonants and vowels, making up words, grammar rules...) so it is contingent on our perception of what a sentence is to "be". I doubt the existence of a Trinity is contingent on agreeing upon it. I understand the analogy, but it breaks down when you try to tie it to reality.

How can water co-exist at three phases (solid, liquid and gas)? Water exists in three distinct phases at something called the triple point. Zero degrees celsius is defined by the triple point of water which is 273.16K at 611.2 Pa. At this temperature water is in the process of changing from a solid state into the liquid phase or visa versa. Molecules in the liquid phase can loose a bit of energy and solidify whilst solid water (ice) can gain some energy and melt. This can be seen in melting ice where the solid ice exists for some time while the exposed surface melts. Molecules in a liquid don't all have the same energy. The energies of the molecules can vary from a finite minimum, which would mark the transition back to a solid phases, up to an infinite energy (although the probability of this occurring is infinitely small). The average energy of the molecules gives us the temperature of the liquid. Statistical thermodynamics can map out the energy distribution of the water molecules. At a certain energy molecules will have enough energy to evaporate, even if the water temperature is 0 degrees C. Because of these two effects it is possible for the water to exist as solid, liquid and gas at the same time. Answered by: Edward Rayne, Physics Undergraduate Student, Cambridge UK Hello so H2O can be a good example do to the triple point of water. John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” Blessings

The triple point is a state in which the conditions for each aggregation state is met, so they can change anyway, however there is still only one state present at each unit of water.

@Jax-zr9fu We need nothing outside of God's Word in order to explain God. That has been the problem from the beginning of the trinitarian doctrine. They did not seek biblical answers. They supplied their own, meaning that they leaned to their own understanding. This is the catalyst for human error. God's Word is sufficient. We should not add or subtract from it ( Deuteronomy 12:32). Heavenly things are explained by Heaven, not earth. I wish you could understand.

We are a mind, body, and a soul. Each of these is its own unique thing, and without any one of them we are no longer us. It's really simple honestly.

[@unexpectedTrajectory]

We are, but each of those are a part of us, something we are composed of. My soul will live on when separated from my dead body (until the resurrection.) None of them is me. But God is not composed of parts. It's funny you said "simple," because the trouble with the analogy is precisely that God is simple (in the technical sense, as in not composed of parts.) I know tone doesn't come across, so I want to clarify I'm not trying to say this unkindly. Just suggesting rethinking the analogy.

[@VileVendetta]

This is such a bad explanation and really shows that most people don't understand the trinity. Jesus is FULLY god. Your body/mind/soul individually are not fully you. Each are aspects of you. You're basically implying that Jesus is an aspect of God which is not the case.

[@andrewbrown9497]

Another issue is we are never told in the bible we are body soul and spirit. According to the bible God breathed into Adam's nose and man became a living soul. Not body soul and spirit.

[@TheTanSteele]

@@VileVendetta No disrepect intended at all, but Jesus is by his nature fully God. Jesus is not the whole of God. This is evident in several areas, not least of which being that the Father can know something the Son does not. They are not interchangeable. Your mind, for example, is fully you. It's your mind and nobody else's. You as a whole are not just your mind, however.

[@TheTanSteele]

@@unexpectedTrajectory Likewise, I don't mean any ill will here whatsoever! Just having a discussion. God constantly makes the distinction Himself between the three aspects/beings/persons or whatever you want to call them that compose His enitre being. A distinction without a difference is meaningless so there must be some difference. God made man in His image, and spoke in the plural while doing so. This can't mean multiple gods (whole other discussion!), so what is the plurality in reference to if not these three distinct but inseparable aspects of the single being? And what was meant by "in our image"? Physically, mentally, spiritually, or all three? Your soul will live on, agreed! But will it do so without a body or a mind? Maybe it wil and I am open to correctionl, but the text seems to indicate this not being the case. Why would we need perfected bodies if we don't require a body at all for example?

The application of θεον as a direct object of λογος in John 1 is anarthrous. It is used in a qualitative sense. ‘In the beginning’ entails that the ontological reality of any ‘thing’ other than God-like the word-is necessarily pantheistic. It is only after God’s first creative act that anything can move from the pantheistic to the panentheistic. John does not set out to assert the trinity, but rather that God is all in all-the one from whom all flows and to whom all points.

only pantheistic if you deem it to be pantheistic and loath the fact that the Word is in God and God is in the word and the Spirit is called "My Spirit" by both the Father and The Son and is in The Father and is in The Son and we find in the final chapter of the revelation of Jesus Christ, the Throne of God and of The Son {one throne} and The Spirit of God and of The Son issuing from the throne.

My position isn’t a rejection of the unique aspects of the trinity, but rather an ontology that asserts the Father as the prime mover.

DISCLAIMER - this comment is LONG, but if you stick with me to the end, I think you'll find that it was WORTH THE READ. That is, if you genuinely like to reflect on the Nature of the Trinity. As soon as I read the title of this video, I got excited. I thought, "Finally, someone is going to attempt to explain the Trinity in a way that helps us to understand the Nature of God. The speaker in the video did a good job at explaining some of the false views of the Trinity and some of the analogies / images that are good or bad at representing the Trinity. But his analogy at the end was a little simplistic in my opinion. Three different colored circles all stacked on top of one another... ehhhh.... I think that we can get more creative than that with discussing the Nature of the Trinity. So I figured I would share some of the thoughts that I have concerning the Nature of God and see if it resonates with others or if others find it helpful or misleading. But to me, the following explanation has become a core idea in my theology and in my mind that I reflect upon often. It has given me much comfort and peace as these ideas sink in more and more. Disclaimer: I know that the following reasoning has its limitations (as all human logic does), but nevertheless this has really helped me in my understanding of how God can be both One but yet multiple Persons at the same time. God exists in eternity past. And as God is existing, He is aware of Who He IS. Of what He IS like. God’s awareness of Himself is not like our awareness of ourselves. With us, our understanding of ourselves is mostly our ego. Who we think we are and who others have told us we are. But that image we have of ourselves in our minds is very limited. Even if we had a thorough understanding of the depths of our own psyche, the image we can draw up of ourselves in our head doesn’t include the complexities of all our cells and the activities that they are continually engaged in. Or the millions of nerve endings throughout our body or the synapses continually firing in our brains. Our image of ourselves usually doesn’t include any of these things. But even if it did, and we had a complete and comprehensive picture-perfect understanding of who we are, the image we have of ourselves in our mind would still be just that - an image. It wouldn’t be fully like us because, in the end, it is still just an idea of who we are in our head. It is not us. But this is not the case when it comes to God. His ways are higher than ours. If God were ask Himself, “Who AM I ?” Or “What AM I Like ?” then He would have no problem having a perfect Image of Who He IS in His own Mind (now I am aware that God doesn’t have a “mind” in the same sense as we do, with our “mind” being bound to our brain. But God doesn’t have a physical “brain” as we do, but rather God IS Spirit. Not physical. At least not until the Incarnation). As God sees Who He IS in His Own Mind, the Image that He has of Himself is FULLY like Him. In all ways. Including the fact that this Image is Conscious. As God is Conscious. God is completely capable of being so aware of Who He IS that the Image He perceives is FULLY like Him. The Image of God IS also Conscious. Thus we have Two Conscious Persons Co-Existing. One Begotten of the Other. We have an Eternal Father and Son. This also helps us to understand why Jesus would say that the Father is “greater than Him” or that He is “sent from the Father.” They ARE Both COMPLETELY God but one is rightfully called Father and the Father has “Begotten” a Son. But Their Identity and Life and bound to One Other. If God is a Conscious God, then there MUST be Another Conscious Person there with Him, because He is completely Aware of His Own Essence to such an extent that the Image He has of Himself in His Own Mind is also Conscious. Thus we have an eternal Father and Son. Existing TOGETHER. Both completely God. But existing in Two Persons at the same time. And these two Persons are Both aware of the Other. They Both see and behold the Glory of the Other and delight in and rejoice over the Other. The Father is so joyous in His Love for the Son that He desires to pour out ALL of His Essence and Being upon His Son. He holds nothing back. He pours out so much of Himself that it can right be called God. It is not as if He is pouring out part of what He has to offer but that He pours out His very Being and Essence. It IS God. It is His Spirit. And the Son does the same thing back to the Father. Pouring out His very Essence and Being upon the Father. Thus we affirm the Athanasian Creed - the Spirit proceeds from BOTH the Father AND the Son. So we find a God Who IS Conscious. Existing in Two Persons. But God is also Relational. We can rightly say that He exists in Three Persons. Each bound to the Others and finding Their Identity in the Other. If God is Conscious, then there must be at least Two Persons. And if there are Two, They are are Relational. And if The are Relational, then perhaps it can be argued that there is a Third Person. If They share Themselves COMPLETELY with the Other, then the “Thing” flowing from Them is also FULLY God. Otherwise They would only be sharing things they have vs. Them sharing Their very Essence with One Another. A few additional thoughts - These thoughts are a little rough and still need to be polished more, but I feel like what we observe in the physical world testifies to the idea of Oneness and Plurality. Wouldn’t it be fitting that this God would create the world to behave in such a way that it reflects His Nature? Wouldn’t it make sense that His creation would reflect some of His Own Attributes? Let us look closer to see if this is the case. Consider the nature of energy. I am sure that you have heard it said that “everything is ultimately vibration or energy.” Well what does it mean for something to vibrate? It can only be understood as you come to understand how that “thing” is relating to other “things.” You can not know that the first thing is vibrating or oscillating unless it is seen in relationship to other “things.” If that thing existed alone, you wouldn’t even know that it is moving or vibrating. You can only understand the behavior of that thing by understanding its relationship to other things. The same is true of God. You can not know Who God IS or what He is doing unless you understand Him as He relates to “otherness.” As He relates to His Son and how They relate to One Another through the Spirit. This is the starting point of understanding anything in nature and it is also our starting point in understanding the Nature and Being of God. They must be understood by studying Their relationship to “other.” Additionally, let us consider not just the nature of energy as a whole, but specific types of energy - thermal energy and electrical energy. These type of energy behave in such a way that they always share from a greater to a lesser. They are not greedy. They always seek equilibrium. This is true of the Nature of God as well. The Father does not hoard His Own Glory but shares it with the Son. He does not hold anything back from His Son, but shares all things with Him. So much so that He pours out His entire Being and Essence upon His Son. He shares the fullness of His Spirit with His Son. And the Son does the same with the Father. There is complete Equilibrium. Just as we see in thermal and electrical energy. They seek equilibrium. I know that some of these ideas are a little rough and in the their early stages, but I believe that they may help some of you on your journey to discovering the Nature of God as they have helped me. Glory to the Father. Glory to the Son. Glory to the Spirit. Three in One. Blessings upon all who read this. Please comment and let me know if this makes sense to you, because I want to develop these ideas more fully, but I need some constructive feedback from the Body of Christ.

[@andrewbrown9497]

Interesting idea, but why start with the idea that God is three when we are never told that God is three? The concept that an Almighty God can choose to be what God chooses to be (I AM THAT I AM) would seem to be a better starting point. With the analogy given in the bible that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. Therefore if we think about what that means. Simply look into a mirror. Who do you see? Yourself and at the same time distinct from you your image. Just as Jesus said he did nothing of Himself only what the Father did. If someone has seen your image they can also say they know what you look like too. Simple analogy from the bible. God was manifest in the flesh, or represented in the flesh. Never are we told a distinct person with God was represented only God. Even John 1:...Word (logos) became flesh. Logos didn't mean person before Word became flesh. You can look up the meaning of logos for its ancient Greek meaning. It basically means thought, reason, logic, wisdom, idea, and plan. All ways that someone can know someone that you have never met. If I was to tell you all about me with my "words" this is my logos. My logos has always been with me. My logos is not another person with me. If I was spirit as Jesus said God is I would need to have flesh and blood to do what only God can do. Become flesh as we are told. Therefore Jesus would have existed as a distinct person with God but as God alone. Meaning God can choose to be the Almighty God in heaven and the lamb slain before the foundation of the world all at the same time. The Holy Spirit according to Jesus is said to be Another. Which means another of the same. Obviously not another only begotten Therefore another way God chooses to be represented for us. You seem to be a deep thinking person so I would hope you pray and consider this.

Catholic Romanism, Trinitarianism, or what is rightly the political doctrine, Constantine-Theodosius Romanism is false religion. It is a Satanic doctrine of inference found no where in the Bible and especially not in the New Testament and not found on the lips of Jesus nor any of the apostles, no where found in the gospels, nor the letters, nor Acts, nor Revelation. Trying to rationalize a false doctrine while in the flesh compounds the problem. So doing is doing the work of Satan.

[@davidromesburg]

@@andrewbrown9497​​⁠ Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your thoughts and for sharing. Personally though I didn’t think that I was starting with Three, but Three is the conclusion I came to in the end. I actually started with the question, “Is God Conscious?” And the line of reasoning I presented above is what came out of years of meditating on that question. But to me, it seems to be in line with the historical confession of the Church, that God is Three Persons but yet One in His Being and Essence. And God is clearly in some type of fellowship with Himself in eternity past. Just read John 17. I was merely trying to point out that both philosophy and creation itself (nature) both affirm what the Church has already preached and held to for 2,000 years. It wasn’t invented. It was the people of God recognizing a Truth that is self existent. Philosophy and reason along with nature and the created order affirm the idea of Plurality and Oneness being at the core of God’s Essence. The Christ has to be more than just a reflection. The Truth has to go deeper. A reflection is not alive and conscious, like the Son of God IS. I fear that sticking too close to the reflection analogy gets close to modalism. But instead we see the Son talking to, having fellowship with, and Being in Relationship with the Father. Both while on Earth and before the Earth began. John 17.

[@andrewbrown9497]

​@@davidromesburgYou actually began with your first paragraph ending "...if you genuinely like to reflect on the Nature of the trinity." The trinity is three separate persons. That is therefore starting with three. The concept that God is three has never been mentioned in the Bible. At best the concept is trying to explain that God is something God has never revealed to mankind. Although we have the stressed concept that God is one. One Almighty God. Again and again that point is made. Consider that a reason to not have an analogy that God is three is because God is one. The analogy of the image, that is given, therefore should be considered and understood. That concept is given to us in the Bible. As Jesus told us God is spirit. What if a invisible spirit (God) looks into a mirror? By all that we know there would be no image. Therefore something would have to "come into being" for there to be an image. Watch the movie "Invisible man" same concept. Also if you haven't noticed I am using concept from the Bible that tells us about what we are talking about. None have mentioned the concept that a person with God that was also God but not another God was the source of the image. Neither are we told that one of the persons became flesh. We are although told Word (Logos) became flesh. Which was with and was God. Understanding the ancient Greek meaning of logos is important. Most of us, and even a good friend of mine that does speak modern Greek, has no knowledge of its meaning. Logos can be understood just as if I was to tell you all about me, or at least all I wanted you to know about me. God was known to those in the Old testament only through the prophets. Hebrews 1:1 When God spoke to the people many times and many ways. Again not persons of Himself, but God doing this. The next verse is even better. So what proof is there that proves God is something we are told compared to clear scripture that tells us God is one? One that is without limits. Limitless one. Just as scripture tells us a plural one. Without limits. Often John 17 is brought up as proof of Jesus's being with the Father before the world existed. Of itself it would be compelling. The clear issue is context. Was Jesus here giving us insight of His and the Father duality? No we are not being given new insight that conflicts with John chapter one, or 1 John chapter one. If Jesus was He would have explained this at some point. The context of John 17 is not for insight of Jesus being a person with God, but acknowledgement of what was for told. Example the lamb slain before the foundation of the world, bruising his heel while crushing his head. Consider what is given to us rather consider what is not. For example you can consider Santa Claus. You can justify all sorts of reasons for him. It doesn't change what it true. Search for the truth not to prove what is never told. We are also told Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. Or that God was manifest in the flesh. Manifest means represent. God represented in the flesh. Again never are we told one of the persons was what was represented in the flesh. The concept that God is three presons would first need to be confirmed first in order for that assumption to be used. Without the knowledge that God is three should only leaves us with the knowledge of what God is which again brings us back to the limitless one. Represented in anyway God chooses to be represented. I AM THAT I AM

The best explanation i have ever heard about why we cannot get a good analogy for the Trinity is that God exists outside of creation, and therefore creation cannot possibly provide a completely applicable example or analogy.

JWs need to read and believe Jn.20:28, whereinJesus accepted Thomas' recognition of Him as his God ("the God of me," ho Theós mou). If Jesus were not "the" God of Thomas then He would have sinned by accepted the recognition that was not His. But no man can reveal to a JW that Jesus is God Almighty, for only God can reveal Himself. And He reveals Himself only to those who come to Him in genuine humility. Sadly, most need to suffer greatly before opening the heart. How much clearer could Jesus be, declaring, "Before Abraham was, I AM"? The Pharisees knew exactly that Jesus claimed to be the eternal "I AM"...not was or came to be but AM... An eternal being has no beginning as do created beings. "In [the] beginning was the Word." The Gk verb, ēn, is imperfect, without limitation. John conveyed that at the time of creation, Jesus already "was being." What insanity to interpret Jn.1:1-3 as those in Kingdom Hall do! If Jesus was created, and "nothing" was created without Him, then He must have created Himself before He existed!!! Only Satan can come up with such chaotic reasoning.

[@Wisdoms_Inheritance]

@TheBinaryWolf John 1:1 - Christ is ascribed the quality of deity and that deity was with deity as we see in verse 2. John 8:58 - Christ was just saying he existed before Abraham, if you believe he was saying he's the I AM, then that same logic would have to apply to Paul in 1 Cor 15:10 as he used the same verb "eimi" and said the same thing God said in Exodus 3:14. 1 Corinthians 8:6 - all things are OF the Father THROUGH Jesus Christ, Christ came out of the Father - John 8:42; 16:27,28, the Father is the source of Christ's deity, God created everything through his Word - Ephesians 3:9. Jesus is not the I AM, he existed within the Father before he was brought forth, much like my kids existed within me before they came forth.

Thank you for this great description and explanation. I have never found it useful to try to draw an analogy from human experience to try to "explain" the Holy Trinity. As you stated, they all (even the ones that are initially helpful) break down and reveal significant deficiencies. Except perhaps the one that God points us to very early in Scripture. In Genesis 1:26-27, it is revealed that we ourselves are made in the image of God, especially as we exist in relationship with each other ("So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.") So, if we are to look for an analog to the nature and image of God, He seems to point us to... ourselves! In particular, to our marriage relationship. Then, in the very next chapter (Gen. 2:24), we read, "Therefore shall man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." This Hebrew word translated "one" is 'echad', and is the same word used in the the opening verse of the venerated Hebrew prayer in Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD." God, as He exists in perfect, triune relationship, is 'echad'. And back in Genesis 2:24, a man and his wife become 'echad' through their marriage relationship. I don't know if this helps "explain" the Trinity, but it sure lends awesome importance and wonder on the relationship God intends husbands to have with our wives.

💯 🕊️ As Christ is head of the church (body) and you cannot have a functioning body without a head! Just as Man is head of the Woman. I often imagine every other faith literally as headless people with no God guiding them stumbling blindly along. Woman was taken from man’s side. Hebrew for side is Tsela I believe. And when Eve was taken from Adam she was taken from his side. Though it’s been translated as rib. And Jesus came from the Father and that’s why he told us we ought to be pleased that he is returning to God’s right hand side … Because where He is we will also be. Jesus said it was a profound mystery. Christ and the Church. We really struggle explaining what’s God given to those chosen by God, to other people, but we can only quote scripture and it’s then in Gods hands as to whether they will receive him. This is what most Christians lose their peace and joy over. I know I have. When I want so badly for everyone to know him as we do. But it’s really Jesus who can make the seeds we plant grow.

I think there was a mistake on description because trinity means Equal value or status that Father= Jesus = Holy Spirit. Which is not. Just an example is a tree. Where can you find that the Three is equal to its branch and the Three is equal to its leaves? The best describe to it is... The branch and the leaves are part of the Three and they are in one body. As the begotten son (his wisdom and power) and the Holy spirit is part of God and they are " in one Body". Like our Spirit (as a portion of the breath of God), our Soul and Material Body is "in one Body" that belongs to our creator. Because we created on his image like how he was composed with the "wisdom and power", holy spirit and Spiritual body in the most high heaven Which was also the composition of his begotten Son (his Wisdom and Power) That incarnated into flesh With his wisdom and power, soul and holy material body.

Take note that at Pentecost 33 C.E holy spirit was poured out on Jesus' disciples enabling them to go out and preach the 'gospel' to the nations (gentiles - non-Jews) - a person cannot be poured out, making your misrepresentation total nonsense.

Hosea 11:9 You cannot compare God to anything. Not in 3 in 1 coffee, not on Solid, Liquid, Gas. ETC. Isaiah 40:18 “To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?” Can you give me the name of the Father? The Son and Holy Spirit? Who is your True Almighty God? The Father, The Son or Holy Spirit? Where in the Bible you can find the word "God The Son". In The Bible you can only find "Son Of God" How can you explain this verse? 1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Who is it referring to?) Jesus died at the age of 33. The Holy Scriptures speak mystery in revealing the real identity of God about who HE IS. But to people whom God had revealed Himself, this mystery is He unfolded to them as well. God's real identity is hidden in Christ, the ROCK of stumbling. Also, the Scriptures tell about this mystery and the revelation of the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory. Anyone wants to know the truth?.. I will explain the Doctrine of The HOLY ONE according to the Bible. ( Holy One Doctrine is not Oneness or Unitarian or Dualism). Job 6:10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One. Psalm 71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. Psalm 89:18-19 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. Isaiah 5:19 and 24 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 12:6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. Isaiah 17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Isaiah 43: 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Isaiah 43:14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. Isaiah 43: 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Isaiah 47:4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

[@ls88tube]

@Trey-x6f My friend, you are wrong. You are still trying to build upon a foundation of falsehood. The trinity doctrine was a separate foundation layed on the fourth century. They did not build upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets (Ephesians 2:20). This is why we are having these endless debates. The trinity is Satan's masterpiece when it comes to the twisting of God's Word. The Lord forewarned that many would come in His name saying, I am Christ, and would DECEIVE MANY. We did not hear that, and many other scriptures, that's why we are confused. God is not the author of confusion. The gospel is very simple. We are forbidden to add or subtract from the Word, but isn't that what men do at Satan's bidding. The Bible progressively reveals God from the first instance when we saw Him in action as Spirit and Word in Genesis 1:1-3. God never changed. There is no change in God, He remains the same. He is One God, who is a Spirit (John 4:24). On the pages of the scriptures, it was the Spirit [Father] who sent the Word as Son into the physical realm, where He would have to have a body to be legal in earth realm. Spirits are not allto operate in earth realm without a body. That is why demons try to possess humans to afford them legally. God is not three. The Word and the Spirit cannot be separated. Jesus is the Word of God. Anyone who teaches otherwise is a heretic. Please note that the Word went back to the SENDER. Read the Bible and stop listening to foolish men.

One verse that always pops in my mind when speaking about the Trinity is Genesis 1:26-27. It says Let us make man out our image. In the beginning, I only saw the fact that is say us and our. Meaning there is more than 1 party. At the same time, is says God, not Gods. It proves the beauty of the Trinity. Much later I realised one more major fact. man was made with Body, Spirit and Soul.... 3 parts 1 person. My thought is God is 3 in 1 and made man to be 3 in 1.

would a fractal structure be an apt analogy where each part is identical to the whole yet distinct? Instead of just a triangle a serpenski triangle where each part is identical to the whole? The only problem is scale meaning that while there is a unity in shape they are not the same size as the original triangle. But like the overlapping circles each triangle can perfectly be overlapped with each other. The trinity is present throughout the old testament in genesis, exodus, proverbs and psalms and sorta in the book of wisdom of solomon. But the Trinity is the most realistic description of God that exist because it is beyong our full comprehension and any god that can be fully understood by a human mind is a god created by a human mind. That which can not be fully grasped by the human mind is from beyond the human mind.

[@jmhatutube]

Certainly, it's one of the best explanations I've experienced. While I don't necessarily believe in the traditional Christian doctrine of the Trinity, I do like to learn as much as I can about what others think so I can be as respectful as possible. I believe in what is known as the Godhead. Interestingly enough, it's not that far off from this explanation of the Trinity. The Godhead is three separate beings that share an exalted nature. How nature is defined between the definition of the Trinity and the Godhead may be a point of disagreement among the doctrines, but not within the text of the Bible. Jesus came down and lived life as a human male and repeatedly stated that He, Jesus, was doing only what He saw His Father do. Logically inferring that His Father (God) had a human experience also, likely similar to His. But since there are no details and only inferences we can only speculate. Most likely though, God the Father had a mortal sojourn similar to Jesus'. There are also many references to the Father knowing things that Jesus doesn't, or that Jesus is doing the will of the Father, so it seems that Jesus is subordinate to the Father. We also know that having a corporeal body is vastly important because Christ's resurrection completed the atonement. We also know that post-resurrection Jesus showed what He could do with his new and glorified body which also shows a precedent that His Father has a Corporeal body. Some may say that the Bible declares God has a spiritual body, but a resurrected glorified body, while tangible similar to non-glorified men, is a spiritual body after resurrection. Finally, the Holy Spirit has a spiritual body since He is the testator of the Father and Son. His job is to testify of the truth of God, Christ, to bring people to Christ and salvation. Each person in the Godhead has a role and are of the same kind. Paul tells us that we are also of the same kind, in embryo. We are heirs of God and joint heirs of Christ. We can be blessed with all the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have if we are faithful in following Christ's example. Eternal life is the life that God lives. The more we become like Him, the more comfortable we will be when we enter his presence.

There is an error in understanding of the co-existence of water in the three forms in this video. The triple point of water -- when ice, water, and water vapor can coexist -- is at a temperature of 0.01C (0C = 273.16K), and a pressure of 6.1 mbar. Water is the only substance which we commonly experience near its triple point in everyday life. Equilibrium Vapor Pressure of Ice and Water. I think it is a perfect example to illustrate trinity.

I was going to at least mention this. But if Dr. Ware is aware of it (you'd think he would be since Dr. Walter Martin used it quite often), he probably decided it would take too much time to explain why he didn't think it was a good analogy. It fails, because it is impossible for any particular water molecule (let alone a group of them) to 'simultaneously' be all three phases! You can find different ones in different phases in the container, but it's impossible for any given _unit_ of water to be all three at the same time! In reality, it's an analogy for "Modalism"; that water can be 3 phases, but not all 3 at the same time... or perhaps "partialism," where the water is divided up into 3 different phases.

[@jollyrancher521]

I believe that only the Father is God. God has a name, which is represented by the four Hebrew letters YHWH, usually translated to English as Jehovah or Yahweh (Psalm 83:18). Jesus is God's Son. Jesus was "begotten" by God, or produced by God. He is God's "firstborn" (Col 1:15) and the beginning of the creation by God (Revelation 3:14). God the Father, on the other hand, does not have a beginning. (Psalm 90:2) 1 Corinthians 8:6 states, "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." Jesus is rightly called Lord since God is the one who made him Lord (Acts 2:36) and exalted him to the highest position (Phil 2:9) and gave him all authority over heaven and earth (Mat. 28:18), but Jesus is not the same as Almighty God. Jesus even refers to his Father on more than one occasion as "my God". (John 20:17, Rev 3:12) In John 17:3, Jesus prayed to his Father in heaven and called him "the only true God."

[@Servant_of_christ_777]

I think it's a bit different. Jesus is Uncreated, and has always been with God the Father as seen In the Gospel of John, we find a clear declaration of the preexistence of Christ: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1, NIV). This passage underscores that Jesus (the Word) existed eternally with God and as God, indicating His uncreated nature. As God's word has always been with God, so has Jesus been with the Father eternally. Now as to why Jesus called the Father greater than him or my God Philippians 2 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross! He was Always with God and was God but he reduced himself but after the crucifixion God the Father Again exhalted the Son to his Former Divine Glory.

[@jollyrancher521]

@Servant_of_christ_777 In John 1:1 the word “theos” (god) appears two times. The first time when it refers to God it has the definite article “the” (ho theos). The second time when it refers to the Word it does not have a definite article. It is indefinite. This shows that God and the Word are not the same. That is why some Bible translators render the second part of the verse “and a god was the word” or “the word was divine.” Note also that John 1:1 says that "the Word was with God". Someone who is with another person is not the same as that other person. The Bible also says that Jesus was created, whereas God was not created and does not have a beginning. Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus the “Firstborn of all creation” and Revelation 3:14 says that Jesus is the “beginning of the creation by God.” The word "harpagmos" in Philippians 2:6 means the seizure or robbery of something that one does not possess. The New American Standard Bible translates it, "Did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped". The English Standard Version renders it, "Did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped," and the Good News Bible says, "He did not think that by force he should try to become equal with God." Jesus set an example for us by not attempting to be equal to God in any way but rather humbling himself. Also, how could Jesus be equal with God since Philippians 2:9 says that after his resurrection, “God also hath highly exalted him”? Bear in mind that the ultimate purpose for Jesus being exalted is to bring glory to God the Father. (Philippians 2:11)

[@Servant_of_christ_777]

@@jollyrancher521 1. The grammatical structure of John 1:1 in Greek ("kai theos ēn ho logos") follows a common construct in Koine Greek known as Colwell's Rule. When a predicate noun (e.g., "theos") precedes the verb (e.g., "ēn"), it does not require the definite article to convey definiteness. Example: If "theos" had the definite article ("ho theos") in the second clause, it would have implied that the Word (Logos) is the entirety of God, excluding the Father. Instead, John 1:1 indicates that the Word shares the same divine essence as God without conflating the persons of the Trinity. The proper translation is: "The Word was God," affirming the deity of the Word while distinguishing the Word from the Father. The translation "a god" misunderstands the monotheistic framework of John's Gospel. In the context of Jewish monotheism, using "a god" would imply polytheism, which is inconsistent with the rest of Scripture (e.g., Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 44:6). "The Word was with God": This phrase highlights the relational distinction between the Father and the Son within the Trinity. Being "with" God does not deny that the Word is also divine but indicates a personal relationship. 2.The term "firstborn" (Greek: prototokos) does not imply creation but preeminence and rank. In Jewish culture, the "firstborn" held the position of authority and inheritance, regardless of birth order (e.g., David is called the "firstborn" in Psalm 89:27, though he was the youngest of his brothers). Colossians 1:16 clarifies the meaning: "For by Him all things were created." Jesus is the agent of creation, not a created being. The context demonstrates His supremacy over creation rather than inclusion within it. 3.The term harpagmos can also mean "something to be held onto or exploited." The verse indicates that although Jesus is equal with God, He did not cling to or exploit that equality but voluntarily humbled Himself in His incarnation. This does not deny Jesus' deity but highlights His humility. Philippians 2:7-8 describes how Jesus "emptied Himself" and "humbled Himself," taking on human form, while still being fully divine (cf. Colossians 2:9: "For in Him all the fullness of deity dwells bodily"). 4.The exaltation refers to Jesus' glorification in His resurrected and ascended state, not a change in His nature. As the eternal Son of God, He humbled Himself in the incarnation (Philippians 2:7-8) and was subsequently exalted to His rightful position of authority. This exaltation does not imply inequality but demonstrates the Father's approval of the Son's obedience and mission. Jesus' exaltation brings glory to the Father (Philippians 2:11), consistent with the unity of purpose within the Trinity. TLDR: 1) word and God have same essence 2) If through Jesus all was created, how is Jesus himself a created being?

I have heard and seen an image, stating that water ice and vapor can occur exist in the same environment at the same time on the phone with conditions that I would have to look more into that to be able to talk further on the topic however, it is peeking, my curiosity because Christ refers to himself as water, although he also does refer to himself as food

"The universe is created by a consciousness which manifests in physical reality through a blueprint that we call Sacred Geometry which repeats over and over giving the illusion of linear time." ~ Student The statement combines philosophical, spiritual, and even some physical concepts to propose a unique origin story for the universe. It suggests the universe isn't just random, but rather springs from a conscious mind or force. This consciousness doesn't directly build the universe, but instead utilizes a blueprint or plan. This blueprint is referred to as Sacred Geometry, a belief system that sees geometric shapes and ratios as holding special importance in the structure of the universe. The statement goes on to say that this blueprint repeats itself throughout the cosmos, creating a cyclical nature. This repetition is what gives the illusion of linear time, where events seem to have a clear beginning, middle, and end. This perspective aligns with the concept of panpsychism, which suggests consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, even at a very basic level. Interestingly, some physicists explore the cyclical nature of time in certain cosmological models, but these models don't involve consciousness. This statement offers a fascinating perspective, but how can we reconcile the idea of a conscious origin with the scientific understanding of the universe? Does the concept of a blueprint, like Sacred Geometry, provide a helpful metaphor for understanding the universe's order, or are there alternative explanations that resonate more with you? Consciousness Exist Outside of the Brain? The brain may not create consciousness but "filter" it. The prevailing consensus in neuroscience is that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain and its metabolism. When the brain dies, the mind and consciousness of the being to whom that brain belonged cease to exist. In other words, without a brain, there can be no consciousness. But according to the decades-long research of Dr. Peter Fenwick, a highly regarded neuropsychiatrist who has been studying the human brain, consciousness, and the phenomenon of near-death experience (NDE) for 50 years, this view is incorrect. Despite initially being highly incredulous of NDEs and related phenomena, Fenwick now believes his extensive research suggests that consciousness persists after death. In fact, Fenwick believes that consciousness actually exists independently and outside of the brain as an inherent property of the universe itself like dark matter and dark energy or gravity. Hence, in Fenwick’s view, the brain does not create or produce consciousness; rather, it filters it. As odd as this idea might seem at first, there are some analogies that bring the concept into sharper focus. For example, the eye filters and interprets only a very small sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the ear registers only a narrow range of sonic frequencies. Similarly, according to Fenwick, the brain filters and perceives only a tiny part of the cosmos’ intrinsic “consciousness.” Indeed, the eye can see only the wavelengths of electromagnetic energy that correspond to visible light. But the entire EM spectrum is vast and extends from extremely low energy, long-wavelength radio waves to incredibly energetic, ultrashort-wavelength gamma rays. So, while we can’t actually “see” much of the EM spectrum, we know things like X-rays, infrared radiation, and microwaves exist because we have instruments for detecting them. Similarly, our ears can register only a narrow range of sonic frequencies but we know a huge amount of others imperceptible to the human ear exist nevertheless. When the eye dies, the electromagnetic spectrum does not vanish or cease to be; it’s just that the eye is no longer viable and therefore can no longer filter, be stimulated by, and react to light energy. But the energy it previously interacted with remains nonetheless. And so too when the ear dies, or stops transducing sound waves, the energies that the living ear normally responds to still exist. According to Fenwick, so it is with consciousness. Just because the organ that filters, perceives, and interprets it dies does not mean the phenomenon itself ceases to exist. It only ceases to be in the now-dead brain but continues to exist independently of the brain as an external property of the universe itself. What’s more, according to Fenwick, our consciousness tricks us into perceiving a false duality of self and other when in fact there is only unity. We are not separate from other aspects of the universe but an integral and inextricable part of them. And when we die, we transcend the human experience of consciousness, and its illusion of duality, and merge with the universe's entire and unified property of consciousness. So, ironically, only in death can we be fully conscious.

I grew up as trinitarian, Pentecost got in contact with oneness Pentecost and now I am confused between trinity in 3 different persons and the oneness doctrine. It drives me crazy

[@jjog3185]

I understand your frustration, I was in the same situation as you 3 years ago, deciding which one of the two doctrines (Trinity vs. Oneness Modalism) was the TRUTH, but God had mercy upon me and showed me the Truth, it is in all the pages of the Scriptures, this is the true doctrine: 2John 1:9-11: "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, hath not God. He that abideth in THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, he hath BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON. If there come any unto you, and bring not THIS DOCTRINE, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed: For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds." 👉👉👉FATHER AND SON👈👈👈 There is no such "third person of the Trinity" as Trinitarians believe. Who is God of these TWO (Father and Son)? John 17:1-3: "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, FATHER, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST, WHOM THOU HAST SENT." FATHER 👉👉👉 IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD JESUS CHRIST 👉👉👉 IS THE SON OF THE ONLY TRUE GOD GOD SENT HIS SON (John 3:16-18, John 10:36, Acts 3:26, Galatians 4:4, 1John 4:9-10). Then, you may ask: "what about the Holy Spirit? For this, you must study these four complete chapters to understand IN CONTEXT who is that COMFORTER and HELPER, you have to read John chapters 14, 15, 16 and 17 and you will understand that THE HOLY SPIRIT is the omnipresent remote manifestation of God and his Son Jesus Christ in a OMNIPRESENT, SUPERNATURAL and INVISIBLE (sometimes visible like the cloven tongues in Pentecost) WAY: John 14:22-24: "Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, 👉👉👉IF A MAN LOVE ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: AND MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND 👉👉👉⛔WE (FATHER AND SON)⛔👈👈👈 WILL COME UNTO HIM, AND MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM👈👈👈. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but THE FATHER'S WHICH SENT ME." THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE OMNIPRESENT SUPERNATURAL AND INVISIBLE MANIFESTATION OF GOD THE FATHER AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. ***This is just the tip of the iceberg, but there are hundreds of passages that debunk tbe doctrine of the Trinity as a FALSE doctrine***

[@Cryoablator]

Water can exist simultaneously in all three phases - liquid (water), solid (ice), and gas (vapor) - under specific conditions known as the triple point. The triple point is a unique combination of temperature and pressure where all three states of matter coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. Key Details About the Triple Point: 1. Temperature and Pressure: For pure water, the triple point occurs at approximately 0.01°C (32.018°F) and a pressure of 611.657 pascals (about 0.00604 atmospheres). 2. Unique Equilibrium: At this precise condition, the rates of melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation are all equal, allowing ice, water, and vapor to coexist stably. Real-Life Example: Although the triple point is difficult to observe in natural settings due to the precise pressure requirement, it can be demonstrated in controlled laboratory environments, often using a sealed chamber where pressure and temperature can be carefully adjusted.

[@allenhamel3037]

What does it mean in John 14:9 when Jesus says, When you have seen me, you have seen my Father? And in 2Cor. 5:19 when it says, That God (the Father), was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself (the Father)? To me, it sounds as if the Father and the Son are one in being and in unity, not two or three distinctions?

[@floydpaulos5526]

Another example of the Trinity is that over 50 elements have a heat " triple point'.This is the temperature that the element becomes simultaneously a liquid,solid & gas for a brief time.

[@oscargr_]

Only groups of elements can exist at 3 phases at the same time. A single molecule is not a liquid, nor a solid.
