Watch this video please, this is "god" and "jesus" having a conversation about how they are father and son but also the same person.


YouTube - Mr. Deity and the Identity Crisis

Is this supposed to make sense?

Troop turned us on to Mr Diety.
My wife and I watched a bunch of them. They are very funny.

But if you seriously want to dive into the complexities of the doctrine of the trinity, Mr. Diety is probably not your best resource.

I am just wondering how god sent himself who is also at the same time his own son to impregnate a human women, and had his son die who is also himself. And I dont even know where the holy spirit comes into it.

Here's what one of the comments of the video said about the holy trinity. "The trinity was invented to escape the paradox that a god who was necessary to sustain the universe could die without the universe vanishing, while still maintaining the semblance of monotheism." I don't know if that's accurate or not.

The doctrine of the trinity will make anybody's head spin.

Start by realizing that God created humans. That humans were created in His / their ( the trinitiy's ) image.

We tend to think in concrete, terrestrial, human terms.

The doctrine of the trinity cannot begin to be comprehended in those terms.

Unfortunatley, the only way we have to describe the trinity is with the language we have. And it doesn't seem to be adequate.

This is one persons perspective. You will hear a different one from each person..

I hope I answered your question

( I know I didn't, but I can't. seriously )

That does not explain anything...all he says that 3 entities are somehow 1 entity. I guess it is all just faith?

Either that, or some exceptionally bad math, if 1 = 3.
