Three Questions on the Trinity (7:45)
- Where does the trinity come from in scripture? Why does scripture talk about them separately when they are supposed to be one? (Is Jesus God or God’s son? How can he be both?
- Why does Christianity say there is a trinity and believe god to be one being, Jesus, Holy Spirit and God? To my knowledge the trinity is not disclosed in the Bible and the Bible has no clear place where it even included the word trinity. Why is Christianity so dead set on this interpretation? It seems confusing especially in places of the Bible where God calls Jesus his son rather than a part of him. I feel like it is more likely that Go, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are separate beings yet work as a unit/together. John 3:16 sub question/reword: How can God and Jesus be the same thing when the bible has examples of when Jesus cried out to God? It doesn’t make sense for him to be in 2 places at once or reach out to himself for help/consultation.
- It is talked about on the cross like Jesus was separated from the Father on the cross. Is that Theologically coherent with the Trinity, can the trinity really be separated.
