I hear you talking about me. Remember, “one” true God. Or did we hear “three Gods” all wrapped in one as a big mystery. Leave it up to a council of men to decide which is right???

Indeed, it would be silly to leave it up to a council of men to vote on which is right, when you and I, much less well versed in the Scriptures, can decide ourselves and roll with it.

What does sola scriptura and 33,000 Protestant denominations mean to you?

Didn’t mean anything bad about it Tommy…I just noticed that spititual being sounds…well…a lot like you. I like you Tommy…you’re alright.

Personally I trust that the trinity is a mystery…I believe in the one God, the Father almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth…I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, Our Lord…who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the Lord, the giver of life…who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. It is quite a thing to grasp…The “council of Men” that you spoke of is many, many men through a couple thousand years testing and teaching the Truth…powerful Testimony, and a litlle Jehovah witnessing can not stand up to that IMHO

Thanks, I like all of you here too. I don’t beleive in the Trinity and the whole mystery surrounding it. I read in the Book, “one true God”. If we add God, the Son and God, the Holy Spirit we end up with three Gods. However, we have been told “one true God”. That’s why I don’t buy into what a council of men in the second century came up with to try and settle the arguement. I don’t trust in what men decide, just what I read in the Book and it doesn’t say three Gods to me. Blessings.

Water, ice and steam…God the Father is an ocean of water…God the Son is ice, and God the Holy Spirit is steam that was left for us…

BTW…read the early church fathers Tommy…it was not a council of men in the second century…and also …that Book you read…“one true God”…read the copywrite date on it 😃
 
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are NOT distinct Beings.
They are distinct Persons. Only one Being.
 
I believe that the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are Distinct, unseperable and One.
 
hi, just give my idea but not perfect, open for correction;

GOD, he himself is existence, when he thinks outside of himself, we exists and other things that sorrounds.

when he thinks of himself, the three persons exist,
THE ONE WHO THINKS is a person (father), HIS THOUGHT is a person too(son), their LOVE is a person too.(holy Spirit);
in GOD there are three persons.

its like the fire, it has color, light, heat but 1 fire,

its like a paper folded into 3, not 3 paper but 1 paper with 3 folds.

3 different glasses with thesame substance which is water placed in it.

**Catechism of the Catholic Church

251** In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the Church had to develop her own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin: “substance”, “person” or “hypostasis”, “relation” and so on. In doing this, she did not submit the faith to human wisdom, but gave a new and unprecedented meaning to these terms, which from then on would be used to signify an ineffable mystery, “infinitely beyond all that we can humanly understand”.

252 The Church uses (I) the term “substance” (rendered also at times by “essence” or “nature”) to designate the divine being in its unity, (II) the term “person” or “hypostasis” to designate the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in **the real distinction ** among them, and (III) the term “relation” to designate the fact that their distinction lies in the relationship of each to the others.

**The dogma of the Holy Trinity

253** The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the “consubstantial Trinity”. The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: “The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God.” In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), “Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature.”

**254 ** The divine persons are really distinct from one another. “God is one but not solitary.” “Father”, “Son”, “Holy Spirit” are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another: “He is not the Father who is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who is the Father or the Son.” They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: “It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds.” The divine Unity is Triune.
