The Trinity: what is it really? It is made up of three key ingredients:
faith, truth and authority. They work together like a perfect machine. Faith is led by Truth which is led by Authority. The one who is called Christ said, "
all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me." It is also written we must "watch our lives and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if we do, we will save ourselves and others who hear." Theology attempts to describe what is
real about God. There will come a time when the doctrines of man will fall away and only the Truth will remain. But until then, man's indoctrinations will continue to lead more and more people away from the Truth until they are permanently away from God.
My favorite use of the letters "g-o-d" is the PC game company's "GATHERING OF DEVELOPERS". This is actually a great way to describe The Trinity in common terms. No text known to man reveals the
true name of the One True God or the Father of the Christ, the giver of the Holy Spirit or as others call it, the Comforter.However, one fact we can all agree on is the only known Son of the One True Creator was known in current day as the Christ or the Messiah or the "one who saves".
It is evident that the Creator and the Son and the Holy Ghost are THREE separate entities. It is far too easy to confuse the three as being one person in different forms, because of the way the story has been dissected and changed over the course of time. But why? How did this misunderstanding elevate such an interpretation?
Quite simple really. God is eternally and simultaneously both "one" and "three": Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Wait. you just said they were separate. They are. Look closer. It says, "god" is 1-in-3: translate it: "god" the gathering of developers" is 1 - the trinity; in 3 - father, son and holy spirit. Keep it simple, break it down and it makes total sense. Oh! That's why people say, "God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit" sometimes when they pray or refer to The Trinity? Exactly. Let me make it even easier to digest - the one who is called Jehovah or Yeshua is THE ONLY human to EVER enter into the THIRD HEAVEN. Third Heaven is where the Creator is. It's the home of the source - the heart of it all - the wellspring of everything in existence, known and unknown, seen and unseen. This Creator, made what we would consider a physical body of itself or what we could call, a son. If you have a boy that is of your seed, you call him your son. Well this is what the Creator did. He had a boy of his own seed, that is his Son. In the beginning, there was the Creator, and His Son. Other ancient texts refer to him as "The Word". They said, "the word" was God and "the word" was with God, in the beginning.
So you see, the Son of God has been there the whole time, that's why He said, "I knew you before you were born" talking about humans. He was there before humans were ever even thought of. He was part of the creation process. Now. The essence, the core, the heart of what makes it all come together, is, the Holy Spirit. This intangible part of consciousness that works directly with the tangible being-the human.
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the
Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, has a
will, and can speak. He is alive. He is a person. Um, what? But how can the Holy Spirit be a person? Well, it is the resonance of the Spirit that was present during the birth of Christ, it is the presence and witness of the Spirit at the Baptism of Christ, it is the willingness of the Spirit, under Christ' command, that He be with us during our time on this Earth until we are one again with God in Heaven after the Resurrection of Man. It is the part of us that drives our very essence of consciousness-thought process and moral capacity. It is for lack of better words: the soul of existence.

You are made in the image of your creator: you are 3 parts in 1: mind-body-and soul. YOU - ARE - A TRINITY. Your Creator, also has a mind: that's the Father; a body: that's the Son and a soul: that's the Holy Spirit. And just as the Father told Christ when he was on the Earth, the Spirit is with you, when Jesus left, he said until he returns, "the Spirit is with us". You were fearfully and wonderfully made...on purpose with a purpose. May the grace of the Father, the love of the Son and the counsel of the Spirit be with you all...it is because of The Trinity we live-we move-and know ourselves as human beings.
