  • 3 in one. Holy Trinity
  • My Biblical understanding is: 1) There is One Being: God 2) There are 3 distinct Persons: Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is fully God, the Son is fully God, the Holy Spirit is fully God, and, there is only One God. But, the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father, and neither are the Holy Spirit. One Being, three Persons.
  • Correct. There are Scriptures that seem to point to and against the trinity. That's why the trinity debate has, perhaps, caused more division than any other. I have given my thoughts on this in the past but I have since adopted the "no opinion" stance. I don't want to add fuel to the already huge fire. To adamantly state that the trinity is a reality or that it isn't a reality, based solely upon what someone else has taught you in church or may have given opinions on in casual conversations, is folly. Take the Berean approach and search Scripture to see if what is being claimed is so. Always, always, always, first approach God in prayer and ask Him to reveal to you the truth about anything that many be on your mind. To answer your question...."Which is correct?" I cannot and will not say. You have to figure that out for yourself.
  • i think 3 seperate
  • If you would like a discussion, feel free to ask by using the specific scriptures. Also, look at this website. http://www.watchtower.org/e/ti/start.htm
  • Both. If you had all the answers, you would be a great as God. That aint happening. Keep reading the word. He will answer you in His time.
  • It might help to realize that in ancient Greek theatre, the actors wore masks, or 'personas' to identify the character they were playing. One Actor, three Characters.
  • So far the ONLY thing proven about the bible is it's printed in book form. That's about where the proof ends.
  • Both are correct--and wrong. What do you want to believe? You'll probably find Christians who'll back you up spouting Bible quotes to back them up. It's been a long time since there was only one Christian interpretation of the Bible. Since that no longer appears to be the case, Christians spend a lot of time, and money, ballyhooing their "true" interpretations and condemning anyone who disagrees. Makes you wonder if Jesus finds this amusing or embarrassing. Matthew 25:34-40 seems to spell out what the Christian mandate is, and I don't see that it mentions anything about interpreting scripture correctly, or spending millions to build museums "proving" humans lived with dinosaurs. But maybe that's just me getting it wrong.
  • There is no three with God according to the Bible I have read for 30 years. God is one God is a spirit God was manifest in the flesh to reconcile the world unto himself. God is our Father God is the Holy Spirit God was manifest in the flesh as Jesus Christ.
  • The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed. How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army. For more information, see Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 232 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt1art1p2.shtml#232 The major non-Trinitarian churches are Christadelphianism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Arian Catholicism, Unitarianism, Nontrinitarianism, and Oneness Pentecostals. With love in Christ.
