The Trinity: Basics

How does the Trinity work? "Three persons, but one God? That doesn't make sense!" This video attempts to explain the basics of the Holy Trinity's structure according to the Nicene Creed and the Church Fathers and great theologians.

For a deeper understanding, read "Appendix D: The Filioque Controversy" in the Eastern/Greek Orthodox New Testament (free download) at http://www.orthodoxanswers.org/eob. (This video is not affiliated with OrthodoxAnswers.org.)

@stonecold474 Notice in 9:7 it says FROM THAT TIME. not from the time of his return so based on that this prophecy you used has not been fullfilled and it I am not mistaken it did not even start because if it did something went wrong. Next time you quote something from the Bible besure to quote the whole thing. it is the same that you did in with the Qur'an at the Dome of the Rock you failed to Quote the whole thing. silly man.

@stonecold474 So based on 9:6 you think this was Jesus but why don't you go to 9:7 where it says He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. Have you seen what is going in Palestine? Is this the Reign it is talking about? Sorry but Jesus never fulfilled that part of the prophecy.

@stonecold474 Revelations? HAHAHAHAHA you mean in a dream, some how Jesus forgot to mention to those when he was on earth that he was God, so he made sure to tell only 1 person Paul who by the way was a head hunter hunting believers of Jesus that he is the alpha and omega. Did you know that Paul does not know what Jesus looks like nor has he seen Jesus. Can you imagine a whole faith based on one dream. That is the best one I heard so far. who is the silly one now?

@stonecold474 I don't care what you believe in regardless of Allah, This was about Jesus being God or part of a Trinity. but it seems you are itching to make a comparison and even when asked to Quote the whole verse you failed. I did not expect you to do it anyways. you and the many likes of you are Predictable. But your failure to understand that ARAB Jews and Christians Call God ... Guess what .... Allah. Educated your self more it will make you look less of a Biggot.

@ISONELORD The word for Messiah in Hebrew is Mashiach, and means anointed. This word occurs in the Old Testament a total of 39 times, according to "The New Strong's Expanded Dictionary of the Words in the Hebrew Bible." So being a Messiah is a mere title and has nothing to do with Godhood which I have no idea why you decided to mention. another wasted effort.

[szuhbi]

@ISONELORD first of all I did not mention the Qur'an in my comments nor did I go there for comparison so your attempt to try and justify the difference is a moot point. Second of all I asked a logical Question that requires a Logical answer and I am yet to recieve it. If you are implying that your scripture is to be believed without exercising logic than a simple answer like sorry but it is more complicated than that would suffice.

@stonecold474 if you are comparing Mohammed PBUH to Joseph smith and using your book as evidence to prove a point than you have a lot of problems.

1) None of the Gopels in the bible are the Gospels of Jesus they are th Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. where is the Gospels OF JESUS. Or according to Jesus?

2) The Qur'an is not called the Gospel nor does it claim to be the Gospel

3) Joseph Smith claims to be the Brother of Jesus, Mohammad never made that claim.

Silly man.

[szuhbi]

@stonecold474 Again you failed to quote the entire thing. there must me something wrong with you because it is not that hard for you to say okay look the whole thing says XYZ, instead you keep harping on one sentence out. is it so hard for you to QUOTE the whole passage? I guess it must be.

[stonecold474]

@szuhbi Don't forget Joseph Smith had an angel come to him to like muhammed. His name was Moroni. You seeing the connection here? In Galatians 1:7-9 if any man or angel preaches another gospel let him be accursed.

@szuhbi Far be it for allah to have a son is what it says in the dome of the rock. I believe allah is real. I believe allah did speak to muhammad. I don't believe allah is god. I believe allah is a evil little angel. He said on the Rock that he can't create life. allah has no power to create life. He is a master deceiver though. In my bible there's only 1 master deceiver. You know the name. Lucifer.
