Question about the Trinity....

[Ryuujin]

Alright I don't quite understand the Trinity thing. My church doesn't believe in the trinity, and since I've been in this chruch all of my life, I was wondering how excatly is it possible for Jesus to throw his voice into the sky and say he is his own son, when he was baptized. So if you would kindly explain to me how this works I would appericate it.

P.S. I'm LDS(Latter Day Saints, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or Mormon)

The trinity, although i am not cathloic( atheist ) i go to ccd.(dont ask why or i will hit you with my rubber chicken!!) The father , the son and the holy spirit are all seperate, but also the same they are all different extensions of gods will. Nobody really understands it really. it is a great mystery. i asked our school preist and he said "you just have to have faith" some help!!:flaming:

Tis somthing no one understands. And nobody ever will. It's one of the unexpalinable (sp) mysteryies (sp). But try to think of it as somthing like a three leaf clover. Get the picture? If not I'll try to explain it a little more indepth.

That's like saying that it is impossible for Jesus to do that in the first place. If you are really a Christian, then you [i]know[/i] that this is not an impossibility. You could, in fact, ask the same thing in another event in the Bible, which is the Transfiguration, which is almost exactly the same as His baptism in that there was a voice proclaiming about Him.

[color=green]Well even though I'm Catholic, I'm with OutlawDragon on this one.... I don't know what the Trinity is. I don't think I've heard of it either..... :rolleyes:[/color]

[font=comic sans ms]Strange that you're Catholic and have not heard about the Trinity. Most Catholics [i]should[/i] know all about the Trinity, since we pray [i]In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.[/i] It is a basic tenet of our Faith.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms]If you mean that we pray in the Name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, the answer is yes.[/font]

:eek: You don't? That's strange. Try asking your your local priest or even your parents. Your priest could proably tell you better then anyone here.

Well, if you shouldn't really be asking this question if you believe in one, [b]all-powerful[/b] God now should you? Because if he is [b]all-powerful[/b] then he can do whatever he wants can't he?

But, seeing as that's not an answer to your question: In Christianity the Trinity is God. God-the Father, God-the Son, and God-the Holy Spirit. Now, the way I percieve this concept is this: Your God decided that he wanted three different ways the manifest himself. One as the all-powerful and unseen diety that you pray to, one as his physical manifestation: Jesus, and the final as his effects on your everyday life(ex. Divine intervention).
I hope that answers your question. And by the way, I'm not Christian. I just like to study religion every now and then.

welllllllllll, seeing that there is alot of perceptions in this thread, I 'll just go ahead and put mine.:

God the Father, God the Son (or christ) and God the holy spirit are the trinity.
God The Father is the fatherly nature of God
God The Son is the physical form of God
God The Holy Spirit is the soul of God
Hope that helped ya on your question

[Anna]

The question seems to be; what is the nature of Jesus Christ?

Jesus Chirst would certainly have the power to throw his voice from heaven, if he wanted to. But, why would he? Why should HE feel the need to manifest himself three different ways?? I don't picture God or Jesus Christ feeling the need to [i]prove [b]themselves[/b][/i] to humans. The trinity basically means that they are three in one. But they are one in three; one in purpose, but three seperate beings. Minor detail it may seem, but think about, it does make a major difference.

Just out of sheer curiosity: [b]why[/b] do you think this?

(and in case you didn't know, LDS is short for Latter-day Saints, which is short for The Church of JESUS [b]CHRIST[/b] of Latter-day Saints).
