How would you explain the Blessed Trinity?

Answer 1

Trinity means 'Three in one' : God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The easiest way to understand the idea of the Trinity is to personalize it:-

Men, you are a SON, you have a FATHER (if you are a parent you are one), and you have a SPIRIT is shown by your own particular traits (such as Attitude, Character, Courage, Essence, Fire, Humour, Intelligence, Life, Outlook, Temper, Will, and Wisdom. )

And this applies to Women too: since resurrected women are called 'angels' [some are already angels!] and Angels are 'asexual', (meaning neither male nor female), it means the terms Mother and FATHER are interchangeable, as are SON and Daughter.

Matthew 22:30 KJV (v.30) For in the resurrection they [women] neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Luke 20:34-36 GNB (v.34) Jesus answered them,"The men and women of this age marry, (v.35) but the men and women who are worthy to rise from death and live in the age to come will not then marry. (v.36) They will be like angels and cannot die. They are the children of God, because they have risen from death.

Answer 2

The Church often describes the Holy Trinity as a mystery, but this is not so. I have no difficulty in understanding the concept of the Holy Trinity, so for me it is not a mystery. In fact, the syncretic religion of ancient Egypt is far harder to really understand and appreciate, as is the Hindu godhead.

The Blessed Trinity is simply understood as three persons in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The earliest known proponent of the Holy Trinity was Tertullian, a Latin theologian who wrote in the early third century. The new concept gradually gained adherents throughout the third century but also faced opposition, particularly from Arius, a popular Libyan priest at the beginning of the fourth century. The Trinity was adopted as Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but the Church remained divinded until Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Trinity a requirement for all Christians, around 380 CE.

The Blessed Trinity supposedly has scriptural support in the 'Johannine Comma', 1 John 5:7-8 ("For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."), but that passage was never in the early Greek manuscripts. It appeared in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.
