I talked to my old pastor about this topic and I believe as he does. The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are one and the same and sometimes when Jesus was speaking He would refer to God and Himself as being another person, reasons unknown. But I do feel like it was not meant for us to understand all of it, b/c if we did understand all of it we'd be on the same level as God and have no reason to worship Him. To me when you use the word "Trinity" we are talking about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I'm not sure where the word originated from but the word to me represents God and all the roles He represents. He says after that-- "I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father" to me this means He is going back to heaven and will no longer be physically on earth with us, and then we will have the Holy Spirit with us after that.... so.... basically guess what I'm trying to say is that to me the Trinity is the whole package of God, our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. John 15:33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Heavey stuff! :o) |
