Can you please explain the Holy Trinity for me? If anyone asks me what is the Holy Trinity, what would be my answer?
Does each person of the Holy Trinity have a different personality or is it one personality?
I do believe in the unity of the Holy Trinity, however, I just do not seem to get it. Could you please explain it?
I have a number of questions concerning the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Can our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit be referred to as Creator like the Father?
Has our Lord Jesus Christ existed from eternity, or just at incarnation?
Did our Lord Jesus Christ exist as human and Divine before the incarnation as well?
Do the members of Trinity have separate functions or do they sometimes work together, sometimes exclusive. For example, the death of our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't the death of the Father or the Spirit?
I have a question regarding 1 John 5:7-8 which reads in the KJV:
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
Is it true that these verses were inserted by Protestants in later centuries? Do old Coptic manuscripts of the Bible exist?
I know the Trinity never separated, so how were the Father and the Holy Spirit a part of Jesus Christ when He was in His humanity?
Is the Trinity something we just came up with using the Father Son and the Holy Spirit or is it really mentioned in the Holy Bible as the Trinity?
I’m a Muslim and I have this question for you, I'm interested about Christianity and I have some questions about things that do not make any sense in my mind. I want to ask you about a verse which talks about the Trinity!! By the way, you can’t find this word "trinity" anywhere in the Bible. "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one." Can you give the chapter where can I find this verse and number of the verse?
On the incident of the Transfiguration, a very distinct voice from heaven was heard. How could then our Lord Jesus Christ and the Godhead be one, when in fact two different beings seem to have been on the mountain? Could Your Grace, please explain the three natures of God?
Theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible (O.T.) does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity "and that the New Testament also does not contain an explicit doctrine of the Trinity" How do you defend against that?
To say ‘God is three separate beings’ alludes of polytheism. As we approach those in Islam or Judaism, aren't we risking truth to defend a Godhead idea that does not even reflect the image to which man was created? As a human we are one being with existence of spirit, soul, and body all dying for control of our direction due to Adam's sin. In the Lord Jesus Christ, we can learn to put the physical and soulish in subjection to the Spiritual recreated man. Thus we overcome the love of this Cosmos for the kingdom to come, unless our minds are not yet renewed in the spirit of His word. My heart is to see the word of the Lord Jesus Christ infiltrate the thinking of the Jew and Moslem, but as long as stumbling blocks of tradition block the LOGOS from entering their hearts.
We believe that "God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit" are equal to each other in one unity. But are they the same as or different from each other?
Where does the Trinity Doctrine come from? I can not find the word "Trinity" in the Holy Bible. When and how did it originate?
Would it be correct to think of God as a great body having different limbs only three of which we (mankind) have perceived?
