What is the holy trinity?

Question

can someone explain the holy trinity to me?

Answer 1

The father and the son are in agreement through the indwelling of the Holy spirit! the fathers spirit. The Father of Life that is. God Almighty! God's creation is pretty awsome isn't it, when you stop to think about it that is. I was thinking the other day how earth worms serve a purpose in life. They rotatil the earth making the soil rich in nutriants for vegitation. Gods creation is amazing. How many times today were you  consiously aware that you were breathing air. If someone took the air away you sure would notice. simple things we take for granted.

Answer 2

just think about it this way:the same way you have a body,a spirit and a soul,three parts apart but the same individual.the same can be said about the trinity:the same God,three different manifestations but the one and only.

Answer 3

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Three in One, The Holy Trinity, also called, The Godhead.

Answer 4

Actually its a mystery. An easier explanation 3 persons in one God.  

Answer 5

its a christian belief that many have said began with Tertulian

where the belief that jesus and God the Father and the holy ghost are the same 3 in 1 God.

however i believe tertualian is in error it was his imagination from the third century that forms what modern christianity believes. His imagination is NOT Gospel truth nor is it God breathed. Inspiration can form false theology and beliefs and traditions.

the trinity is a doctrine of contemporary christianity which is not the same thing as teaching the godhead.  

Answer 6

The Trinity is a Christian doctrine, stating that God exists as three persons, or in the Greek hypostases, but is one being. The persons are understood to exist as God the Father, God the Son (incarnate as Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Since the beginning of the third century the doctrine of the Trinity has been stated as "that the one God exists in three Persons and one substance, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit". Trinitarianism, belief in the Trinity, is a mark of Oriental and Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and all the mainstream traditions arising from the Protestant Reformation, such as Anglicanism, Lutheranism and Presbyterianism; and the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church describes the Trinity as "the central dogma of Christian theology"

Answer 7

There is one God. He has made Himself known as 3 persons:

The Father: The creator of the world

The Son: Who came to earth to take on the punishment of men's sins

The Holy Spirit: Who dwells inside each believer

Hope that helps.

like how H2O is 3 water/ice/clouds

like how 1x1x1=1

Answer 9

It is a misunderstanding, misinterpretation and misapplication of the relationship between God and His messengers such as Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Krishna and Baha'u'llah to mention but five of the thousands of them. A very simple and short explanation of it would be to compare God to the Sun. (our star), Jesus to a perfectly polished mirror and the Holy Spirit the rays of the Sun. If the Sun were to actually visit the Earth, no more Earth. Same with God. If the Sun's rays were invisible, we would need a way to make them visible to be able to use them fully. That is one of the purposes of the Manifestations of God. They are like mirrors. Imagine a mirror with the power of speech. If you have seen me, you have seen the Sun. I and the Sun are one. The light I give you does not come from me, it comes from the Sun. The Sun is greater than I, and so on. No pun intended, but that mirrors what Jesus said.

Things that do not make sense are probably not true. The Christian explanation of the Trinity does not make sense and is not true. I could try but I see no sense in trying to make sense of something that makes no sense if that makes sense.

Answer 11

An excuse to worship three Gods instead of one

Answer 12

Eric the best way to explain it  is to think of a three leaf clover.  There are three  petals and only one leaf. That is what the Holy Trinity is like One God and  three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  

Answer 13

fiction, an attempt by early christians to appeal to polytheists

Answer 14

God,Jesus,Holy Ghost.

Answer 15

The Father

The Son

The Holy Spirit

What does it mean you ask? Well, trying to explain can get long and drawn out but here it goes.. GOD created earth and everything so of course he is The Father and The Son of course is Jesus, he too created by GOD to fullfill all his works, and  The HolySpirit is all the blessing and miracles that are unseen but happen thru the power of GOD our Father. Three seperate things all enpowered by one..GOD

Answer 18

to everyone who is about to give me a thumbsdown, read my answer completely and take the challenge.

Christians have twisted beliefs! They claim to follow the teachings of Isa (Jesus) peace be upon him but they invent false characters to represent him and they make up lies claiming that he is the son of Allah (God)! Glory be to Allah (God) , far above everything that you associate in worship with him. He is Allah the ONE, The Eternal The Absolute, He beggets not nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him!

I recommend you do your research, you will not find anything of their beliefs to be true because they don't even believe in one God anymore! They worship a prophet, how shameful is that!

And believe me , Jesus (pbuh) never claimed to be God or the son of God! He only called the misguided Jews back to the truth! He callled them to monotheism and to worship Allah (God) only!

And some of the people believed him, while others chose to disbelieve. And the disbelievers plotted and schemed their evil plans. THey planned to crucify but Allah (God) planned otherwise and verily Allah is the best of planners. HE rose Jesus (pbuh) up to Heaven and caused one of their own to look like Jesus(pbuh) so that they would believe him to be Jesus (pbuh)! And they killed that man while they knew noth that Jesus(pbuh) was safe.

Those whom Jesus (pbuh) had taught and they believed, they are a great people. But soon people began to get confused, they began to associtate Jesus(pbuh) with some divinity. THey began to think that he was God's son! So they worshipped him! and they thought that God's anngel was a Holy Ghost, so they called Jibra'il (Gabriel) the Holy Ghost and created a fake tale of a Holy trinity.

So Allah sent His final Prophet to call them back to monothiesm. And when he did the sensible people believed him while the others did not. And Muhammad(pbuh) told us that Jesus(pbuh) has not died and that he will return one day. Jesus(pbuh) will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya. He will kill the Dajjal(anti-Christ) and be a leader for the Muslims. He (pbuh) will rule by the Qur'an and will accept no religion but Islam from the people.

And if you are in doubt then wait and see, Allah has promised this and verily, Allah is NOT a liar.

The Bible has been edited and altered so much now, it is full of lies. And from your logic, destroy the Qur'an, or even create a single verse like in it. This verse must match it in truth,elegence, beauty, etc. Like God say's in the Holy Qur'an:

"And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, Christians, etc) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e in the Qur'an) to Our slave [Muhammad (pbuh)] then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah if you are truthful." (Qur'an 2:23)

"But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (h**l) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers."

(Qur'an 2:24)

I'll even give you a little help, here's the translation of the shortest Surah in the Qur'an. Just read this, write your little fake, translate it in Arabic and english and show it to me. Here it is, with a transliteration and translation.

TRANSLITERATION:

Bismillhirahmanir-rahim.

1.Inaaaaaaaaaaa-'athainah-kal-kauwthat...

2.Fasal-leelee-rrab-beeka-wonharr.

3.Inna-shani-aka-hoowal-abbatarr.

TRANSLATION:

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1.Verily, We have granted you [ O Muhammad (pbuh)] Al-Kautharr (a river in Paradise).

2.Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).

3.For he who hates you [O Muhammad (pbuh)], he will be cut off (from posterity and everything good in this world and in the Hereafter).
