Is the Trinity beyond explanation?

 The Trinity is not 1+1+1=3. it is more like 1x1x1=1. Skeptics mock the One who created them and deride followers of Jesus as worshiping three gods. We often make light of what we cannot or will not understand. The links below do a decent job, but I worship (acknowledge the worth of) God, even though I don't fully understand Him.

Think of it this way. Let's suppose you know 3 percent of all the knowledge there is to know in the universe. Yes, I know it's far less than that, but use 3 percent as an example. Could it be that a fuller understanding of the Triune God could be part of the other 97 percent? Something to ponder.

Josh McDowell, a former skeptic, has found only three reasons people reject God's truths:

1. Ignorance (the less than 3%).
2. Pride.
3. A moral problem.

The Bible often explains itself and has answers for all three.

AND THIS

Did Jesus claim to be God?

His enemies thought He claimed to be God

Undeniable, in many forms

Only after clicking on the above articles I would add my own thoughts: In Matthew 16, Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." What did Jesus do? He commended Peter, saying that the Father revealed it to Peter.

When doubting Thomas thrust his hand in Jesus' side and the nail prints in His hands, Thomas said, "My Lord and my God." A Jehovah's Witness told me and unbelievably demonstrated that he was looking at Jesus and saying, "My Lord..." and then the JW turned backward and said, "...and my God."

I was a media spokesman for the Department of Defense for four decades. I was accused of being a "spinmeister." But the JW's twist was the second most preposterous "spin" I ever heard! The first was Satan's to Eve in Eden.

Other JWs, acknowledging the absurdity of the twist, suggested Thomas was cursing. This, again, is beyond belief among devout Jews. Did Jesus react in outrage? No. He commended Thomas.

I rest my case.

QUEST: Top-drawer life lessons

QUEST: Top-drawer life lessons

Have I aced these tests? Nope. I live on the mountaintop, but I'm not always home! But I know this without any doubt: The longer I live, unless God is a liar, the more assurance I have that I will be welcomed in my eternal home. The Apostle John tells me, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13

- Humility, Brokenness & Compassion CLICK HERE There's a song that captures my quest: I then shall live

- Works are the fruit (result) of the gift of salvation. Salvation can't be earned. Believe like a Calvinist if you wish, but conduct your life like an Arminian!  (My conclusion)  EXPLAINED HERE

- Two ways to get to Heaven FIND OUT HERE

- I found a way to comply with Jesus' mandate to make disciples: HE SAID IT Finding it difficult to "witness" to strangers, I discovered Global Media Outreach - I get to answer inquiries that people from all over the world send in. Plunge in today and be made complete!

- Transformation: The quiet power of a life transformed by the grace of God is so explosive that it can redirect the course of human events. ~Richard Foster

Rough & tough Medical Lake healing

BREATHTAKING HEALING TRIBUTE to my good friend and neighbor, Master Chief Bob Evans, USN Seabee, Retired, who spends much of his year doing electrical work for church camps. He has been working at Medical Lake near Spokane. He told of two youth groups coming in for camp. The first was a clean-cut bunch. The second was a scruffty, unkempt group of kids. One girl, he noticed, clutched her hand to her midriff and dragged her foot. She had cerebral palsy. One night the kids were challenged to pray for one another. Several laid lands on the girl, along with a counselor. The counselor reported feeling new tissue swelling up in the girl's arm. She was completely healed, verified the next morning. Master Chief Bob, choking back tears, had observed that these were rough-looking kids whose prayer was effective. "It taught me never to be judgmental," he said.

Creed - Poem by Steve Turner

We believe in Marx, Freud and Darwin.
We believe everything is OK
as long as you don't hurt anyone,
to the best of your definition of hurt,
and to the best of your knowledge.

We believe in sex before during
and after marriage.
We believe in the therapy of sin.
We believe that adultery is fun.
We believe that sodomy's OK
We believe that taboos are taboo.

We believe that everything's getting better
despite evidence to the contrary.
The evidence must be investigated.
You can prove anything with evidence.

We believe there's something in horoscopes,
UFO's and bent spoons;
Jesus was a good man just like Buddha
Mohammed and ourselves.
He was a good moral teacher although we think
his good morals were bad.

We believe that all religions are basically the same,
at least the one that we read was.
They all believe in love and goodness.
They only differ on matters of
creation sin heaven hell God and salvation.

We believe that after death comes The Nothing
because when you ask the dead what happens
they say Nothing.
If death is not the end, if the dead have lied,
then it's compulsory heaven for all
excepting perhaps Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan.

We believe in Masters and Johnson.
What's selected is average.
What's average is normal.
What's normal is good.

We believe in total disarmament.
We believe there are direct links between
warfare and bloodshed.
Americans should beat their guns into tractors
and the Russians would be sure to follow.

We believe that man is essentially good.
It's only his behaviour that lets him down.
This is the fault of society.
Society is the fault of conditions.
Conditions are the fault of society.

We believe that each man must find the truth
that is right for him.
Reality will adapt accordingly.
The universe will readjust. History will alter.
We believe that there is no absolute truth
excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth.

We believe in the rejection of creeds. [See below - Dave]

"Chance"
(a post script)

If chance be the Father of all flesh,

disaster is his rainbow in the sky,

And when you hear:

"State of Emergency"

"Sniper kills 10"

"Troops on rampage"

"Anarchy & looting"

"Bomb blasts school"

It is but the sound of man worshiping his maker, Chance.
