The Trinity

~Royalynne Miller and Brandon James Scholl

So, the trinity is something that a lot of people have a hard time putting their finger on. We will tell you all right now, this was NOT easy.

Those of you who do not know the dfintion of the Trinity it is: Three personas (God, Jesus, and the Holy Spitit) in one celestial entity. Now, here is an explanation for those of you who do not have a clear understanding or comprehension of this concept.

There are two ways to easily explain the Trinity. The first one, we like to refer to as the Egg/Apple/ Orange. An egg is made up of three parts: The shell, egg white, and the yolk. But, with these three parts being different they are still an egg all together. All of these parts also are there for different reasons and functions. When a bird is developing within an egg the yolk is the part of the egg that feeds it. (Acts 1:8) This is a good representation of the Holy spirit because it feeds us and substains us. The egg white protects the bird from damage or takes the beating for the bird as Christ did for us on the cross. (I John 3:16a) Lastly you have the egg shell which holds everything together such as the world. While that baby bird is developing the only world that the bird is aware of is the egg and that the shell is holding it all together because it’s poor and defenseless. (Job 12:10)

Now, another way to explain this fun topic is the multiple personas. Think of a family man. He’s a happily married man so he’s a husband. Now, this man also has children. This makes him a father as well as a husband. Lastly, this male individual has grandchildren. This makes him a grandfather as well. Now, if we put all three of these together we have one man who is a husband, father, and grandfather. Three roles that have different characteristics but are still from one person. In other words, another fine example of the trinity.

Those of you who read this and plan on explaining this later here is a forewarning. While explaining this topic you must be careful what you use to explain the parts of the trinity. Words like entities, personalities, individuals make is sound like you’re being polytheistic. Make sure you not only completely understand before relating something like this but you are able to articulate it correctly.

For those of you who think that the Trinity doesn’t exist, consider this: Why is it that the bible says plural things like when God says that He wants to create Man in “OUR” image. He’s not talking to anyone else. He’s talking to himself, also known as the Trinity. Just something to consider for you people like that.
Also, for those of you that think that the Trinity doesn’t exist or is a lie but that Jesus, the Holy Spirt, and God are still functioning like this I would like to let you know that you are in sin because you believe in more than one celestial entity which means you are polytheistic and you should probably check your hermanutics.
