Here is my understanding of the Trinity/Godhead:
- God is God and the father. God is all mighty.
- Jesus is the son and second person in the Trinity. Jesus is all mighty with God.
- The Holy Spirit the third entity. The Holy Spirit is equal with God and Jesus.
I might be askew on how I presented that, so please bear with me.
With those bullet points out of the way, here are my questions:
- If God is all mighty, how can Jesus - or the Holy Spirit - be equal with Him? I.e. if three beings are all mighty, none of them are "all" mighty - right? Wouldn't they share might?
- Father, Son, and Spirit = One God. One God = manifested in three entities. I can't wrap my head around whether this is a monotheism or a polytheism. How is Christian belief a monotheism? How is not a polytheism (or is it)?
Thanks for your time!
They say three persons in one God,that would mean it would take all three to make one God,so apart they could not be fully God.
If they say God the Father,God the Son,God the Holy Spirit,then they say three Gods.
If they are all omnipresent,then they would overlap each other.
If they are all equal in power,how is the Father greater than the Son.
If they all have no beginning then why is the Son called the Son,for Son means to be fathered,or else son has no meaning.
Why does the Old Testament call the Son,the everlasting Father.
Why was Jesus conceived of the Holy Spirit,instead of God the Son.
Why did Jesus say when He resurrects to heaven to not ask Him anything,but only ask the Father,and He will do it,but in another passage of scripture Jesus said when He resurrects to heaven to ask Him,and He will do it.
If Jesus' name is the Son,then why is it the name of the Father,and Holy Spirit too,for Jesus said He came in His Father's name,and the Son inherited the name from the Father,and the Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus.
Why did the Jews never get a concept of a trinity in the Old Testament,which if the Jews only had the concept of one God,the Father,and God did not rebuke them for that,and allowed the Jews to believe that He is the only God,it would of been a lie,if there were two more persons of a trinity.God the Father allowed the Jews to believe that He was the only God.
Why does the New Testament say,but to us there is but one God,the Father,and in another place,one God,the Father,only attributing the Father as God.
Why does the Bible says there is only one throne in heaven,and one who sits on the throne,if Jesus is sitting next to the Father in heaven.
Why did Jesus say if you have seen Me then you have seen the Father,for he dwells in Me,if He was conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Why does the Bible says that the Son at the right hand of God is only a temporary position,until His enemies are conquered,and then the Son will stop being at the right hand of God,for where will He go.
Why did Jesus pray to the Father for the saints to have the same glory as He had in the beginning,but if it is glory as Him being God,how can the saints have that glory.
One God,who is a Holy Spirit.Father is a title for God,and the Son is the man Christ Jesus.
Jesus is God manifest in the flesh,who is God,and has no beginning,but as a human,the Son,He has a beginning,giving meaning to the term Son.
Riddle me this,riddle me that,riddle me this,rat a tat tat.
