Dearest Sisters and Brothers
I was reading different analogies and it seems many of them are considered hersey. (water, ice and steam etc.)
Is there a simple way to explain the Triune that doesn't go against Christianity's teachings? What does the Bible say?
Trinity
God “YHWH” is an omni-present invisible spirit who has chosen to reveal Himself in three forms, i.e. -
The Father. The senior authority figure, lawgiver, justice enforcer, receiver of worship, and giver of parental love, mercy, and compassion.
The Son. The GoD-man Jesus Christ, The very expression of GOD's love, the saviour of all who believe, GoD's gift to mankind, The redeemer, sin bearer, priest, and mediator between GoD and man.
The Holy Spirit. He indwells and empowers Christians, the Comforter, Counsellor, Guide, Helper and Advocate of Christians. Sealer and Sanctifier of believers. Having the purpose of glorifying Christ, and to give assurance of salvation to believers.
John1:18- “
No man has seen God. - Jesus Christ He has revealed Him".
1 Tim. 3: 16, reads,
“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”.
Isa. 9: 6, which attributes to Jesus names that can only be given to GOD. It reads; “
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the Government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. - - In John 10: 30 & 36-38. Christ said.
“I and My Father are one."
Heb. 1: 2, 3. (GOD)
,“Has in these last days spoken to us by His Son whom He has appointed Heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (That is =Jesus Spirit is God).
Heb. 1: 6, says, “
Let all the angels of God worship Him.” (Christ)
; but remember, God has said that we should worship none but Him.
Heb. 1: 8, states,
‘But to the Son He says; “Your throne O God is for ever and ever.” Gen. 1: 1. Ps. 33: 6, & 96: 5, & Isa. 42: 5, clearly teach that YHWH GOD is the Creator. Yet, John 1: 1-3, & Heb.1: 8-10, also teaches that Jesus is the Creator.
God forbids the worship of any but Himself, yet we find that Jesus was worshipped, and accepted that worship. He was worshipped by;-
The wise men, as a child.Mat.2: 1,2,11. A leper. Mat.8: 2. A ruler. Mat. 9: 18. Disciples, Mat. 14: 33. & Luke 24: 52 The woman of Canaan. Mat. 15: 21-28. A man who had been blind. John. 9: Thomas.John. 20: 28, 29. Stephen. Acts. 7: 59,60. It is commanded in Heb. 1: 6.
"Let all the angels of God worship Him" (Christ), and this they do in Rev. 5: 11-14. -- If Jesus was not God it would be blasphemy for Him to accept worship.
One God, but three revelations of the one God. That is not hard to understand. A very simplified explanation would be as follows.
I am revealed (Manifested) to my son as a father, to my grandson as grandfather and to my great grandson as great grandfather. If all are present at the one time I am manifest in three different ways at the one time.
I could go on and give a dozen or more pages on the subject , but that is not suitable here.
