I have heard so much discussion around the doctrine of Trinity, debates between Muslims and Christians, and a multitude of proofs and explanations. My only question is "Why does it matter"? I am not saying that it is okay to IGNORE or COMPROMISE on truth. But all truth is not necessary, especially when it can cause one to discredit Christianity - on the sole basis of a "logical fallacy" called Trinity.
I am a Christian and I personally understand the three-person entity and completely believe in the trinity. Although, I have always had the question of why do we need to know or understand this? I know people who do not take a next step when they come across a Christian trying to explain the Trinity. It is kind of like not letting a person ride an airplane because he/she doesn't know how the airplane was made.
Please let me know your thoughts on this. I want to know if I am wrong in thinking that. I just want to know if this doctrine could be a red herring to the argument for Christianity. Jesus is the Son of God and came to bail us out of our mess. He asks us to believe in in One God. He asked us to follow Him and to obey His Father. Isn't that enough to be a Christian?
He never said that we HAVE to know that He was part of a Trinity. God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in their own roles fulfill what their purpose is without us having to know how it all works.
