The Holy Trinity
I am sure I am not alone [for all those brave enough to admit it] in my failure to understand the concept above. According to Christians, the all powerful creator – GOD - exists as a trinity: the father, the son [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost. I have never met a Christian who has been able to offer a logical explanation for this separation of powers. In fact if God was all powerful, is it that strange to ask why there is a Holy Spirit and a son as well? Instead, I have met scorn and somewhat surprise that I am even questioning the concept’s authenticity. As with all religions, you are expected to accept without asking “basic” questions. Does that not make you wonder what the world would have been like if we accepted “everything” without eliminating our initial doubts. Think about it – the world being flat, earth being at the centre of our universe, physical quantities and properties being absolute and loads more. As far as I am concerned, just as stupid is the belief in an all-powerful God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I speak for myself of course.
Still hot on the trinity trail is the concept – Mind, Body and Soul. Another example of accepting without questioning. I accept the existence of Body. I also accept the existence of Mind but I do not accept the existence of a Soul as well. Body and Soul or Body and Mind is all there is. Stop and think about it, what is the difference between Mind and Soul?
Explanations will be highly cherished.
