Trinitarian belief?

[Innocuous]

It sounds truncated and simplistic as there is no mention of hypostatic unions and such. Sounded a little like a straw man definition. But I don't want to argue, I'll leave it at that.

My Trinitarian COGIC Pastor does not believe your definition of the Trinity.

If you were to ask several different Oneness Apostolics to explain the Godhead to you, in laymen's terms, you would get different answers.


This is an example of the same phenomenon that happens repeatedly:


human minds trying to grasp the ALMIGHTY GOD by the light of their religious light bulb. Often that light is shaded by their own experiences.



Jesus is the CHRIST, the SON of the LIVING GOD!

Is it possible for you to explain the trinitarian beleif in simple terms. As I have said, this is for me to have a better understanding of there beleif.

An early definition of the word "person" is "mask" or "role." It refers to the mask an actor would hold in front of his face to play a role in a play. In other words, God has three masks that He wears or three roles that He fulfills.

Hey Sam.

To me that seems more like a definition of a manifestation.

Person seems more disticnt.

3 Persons.....3=1......more like a committee.

3 manifestations to me is the one God revealing himself 3 different ways.

Here is a brief explanation of the Trinity:

God exists in three persons, each having their own wills and love for each other. They are co-equal and co-eternal. They are each God, but they are distinct from each other:

Are you saying that they beleive in 1 God that has been split into 3rds.

Example 1 God, split into the 1/3 Father, 1/3 Son & 1/3 HG, all being different persons. That is where I'm having problems. To me a person is 1.
I understand manifestation but I'm not clear on their thinking.

Do they beleive in three Gods?

As a Oneness believer I am OK with this diagram.

I don't want to argue. I want to try and understand where the thinking comes from. To help me better understand them.

I was hoping someone one AFF could put it in simple terms.

Not to sound rude or anything but...
Why not just use Google?

There's a lot of information readily available there, in seconds.
That's usually a good place to start.
