The Trinity

When we explore the scripture seeking to learn about the nature of God certainly the primary teaching is that there is One God. That that God is the one and only I AM (not dependent on anyone or anything).

We also learn that God is a Spirit. That God is faithful (unchanging) and true (real in Greek thought).

But then it gets more complex. We find God promising “I will pour out my spirit”. We find Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane praying to the Father and on the cross praying “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do”. (Another problem because it has long been understood that a sin is “the willful transgression of the known law of God”).We find Jesus telling his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit comes upon them.

So, I believe in “The Trinity” with the understanding that it is a flawed attempt at descrobing God's nature.
