I appreciate how you acknowledge the various attempts to illustrate the Trinity through analogies like water or an egg, while also highlighting the limitations of such comparisons. Your explanation of the Trinity’s three main points – three distinct persons, each fully God, yet one God – is clear and well-supported with relevant scriptures.

Furthermore, you effectively convey why understanding the Trinity is crucial for Christians. From its implications for Jesus’ role in salvation to its reflection of God’s relational nature, you eloquently articulate the significance of this doctrine in shaping Christian belief and practice.

Your closing reflection on the Trinity as a model for unity and diversity is particularly poignant. By drawing parallels between the unity of the Trinity and the collaborative efforts of your church’s women’s ministry, you provide a tangible example of how this doctrine can inspire cooperation and solidarity within Christian communities.

Overall, your blog post offers valuable insights into the theological depth and practical relevance of the Trinity for believers. Well done!

Great site love trinity is not a Salvation issue
Attending a church last week pastor says if you don’t believe in Trinity you you aren’t saved
And shouldn’t attend this church
Breaks my heart

Thank you Melanie. Trinity is not a salvation issue. Jesus life, death, and resurrection – now those things are salvation issues.

I forgot to mention that when I was at the end of my rope I not only burned all of my books, I also took my website down.
Now, I understand WHY Christians are the number one cause of Atheism in the world. I would never become an Atheist, but right now, and for a while, I have to distance myself from Christians.

It’s a relief to find a Trinitarian who’s not mean, judgmental or condemning.

God bless what you do.

Hey Jim,

I really do appreciate your perspective.

Although we don’t agree, I always try to show respect for other’s ideas and beliefs.

You are welcome to stop by anytime.

Blessings to you,
Melanie

Sorry I jumped the gun, I couldn’t find the reply earlier. I apologize and thanks for posting my reply.

You should know…

About 4 years ago I burned every bible and every hard cover resource book I had – probably $2,000 worth of books because I was at the end of my rope with Trinitarians who condemn people. I gave up and even today I’m barely hanging on.

What makes you think God hasn’t made Himself real to me? What makes you think that I don’t have a relationship with Jesus? OH, that’s right – I’m non-trinitarian.

Will you post my previous reply? Or like all the others are you going to cop-out?

I’ve not lost my faith in God or Jesus. I lost faith God’s people and his ‘church’. I’ve been a Christian since 1973 and have hidden my non-Trinitarian views for decades. I’m absolutely sick and tired of the millions of ‘Christians’ – especially high profile Christians like John MacArthur and the like – who teach that those of us who reject the man-made doctrine of Trinity are condemned heretics.

Television, the internet, and social media, etc. has destroyed Christianity’s growth because the Benny Hinn’s, Ken Copeland’s, Joyce Meyer’s, John Hagee’s, etc., etc., have exposed Christianity’s hypocrisy. Not to mention that when it comes to doctrine and prophecy, Christians can hardly agree on anything…yet they all claim to possess the truth!

Whenever I debated ‘Trinity’ with others like on forums or blogs, I was either banned from forums for being non-Trinitarian, and and after 2-3 replies on blogs, when bloggers couldn’t ‘overcome’ they immediately began passing judgment saying I need to repent and accept Christ, or I’m in a heretical cult, (I’m not JW) and delete ‘most’ of my replies and then say goodbye.

It’s almost impossible to debate Trinitarianism because when they can’t explain something or overcome a contradiction, hey always resort to the notion that,…

“That’s because Jesus was speaking from his ‘humanity’ – or that’s because Jesus was speaking from his divinity!
They claim Jesus was 100% God and 100% man and that’s their cop-out reply to every contradiction.

Well, Jesus was NOT 200%. He was 100% man and that’s it! For example…

Saying Jesus is God completely destroys the gospel message! We know that God cannot be tempted and HE cannot sin. That being TRUE, and IF Jesus is 100% God, that means Jesus could not have been tempted or sinned anyway! That makes Jesus a fraud, and the cross a hoax and to no effect!

The only way for me to maintain my spiritual sobriety is to get away and stay away from TRINITARIAN CHRISTIANS.

To condemning Trinitarians I say,…Psalm 55:12

“It is not an enemy who taunts me—
I could bear that.
It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me—
I could have hidden from them.
Instead, it is you—my equal, my companion and close friend.
What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.”

Hey James,
I’m so sorry to hear this.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Right now, I’m asking God to heal your hurt and make Himself very real to you.
He loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you.
Blessings
Melanie

Hey Nate,

It’s good to hear from you. And, thank you for sharing your views.

However, on this site, we strongly affirm that the Bible teaches that Jesus is God (John 1).

Here is our stance on this topic:

We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man. That He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life; that He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins, and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later, He ascended to the Father’s right hand where He is the head of the church and intercedes for believers, and from whence He is coming again personally, bodily, and visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom.

We believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God.

Blessings,
Melanie

Thank you, Diana!
You bless us with your kind words!
So appreciate you and your sharing the post on social media.
You are a blessing!
Melanie
