They say God is made of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, just like water, steam and ice....?

Ok I am an atheist that believes in extraterrestrials but you have got me thinking now. Interesting...

The doctrine of the Trinity is encapsulated in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs the apostles. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

The parallelism of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is not unique to Matthew’s Gospel, but appears elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g., 2 Cor. 13:14, Heb. 9:14), as well as in the writings of the earliest Christians, who clearly understood them in the sense that we do today—that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are three divine persons who are one divine being (God).

Rama, There is no analogy that can truly identify the Godhead. God the Father is Spirit as well as the Holy Spirit, God took on human flesh and was born of a virgin when He walked the earth in the second person of the Trinity, the Son. He was 100% God and 100% man. No one can adequately explain that to anyone.

God doesn't haven't to "do" anything to remain God ... He has always existed and enjoyed the fellowship of the other members of the Trinity throughout eternity past, present, and will into eternity future.

Sweetheart, God created everything ... He is sovereign. He answers to no one or anything.

Edit: I hope I am understanding what you are saying correctly because it sounds to me you are saying Jesus Christ while on earth in human form was an egomaniac. Please correct me if I have misunderstood you. That is so not the case. The Father sent the Son to be born of a virgin so He could die and pay for mankind's sin. He bore the sin of the world in His own body ... He paid our penalty so God could reconcile us to Himself as each individual believes and trusts Jesus as their personal Savior.

Jesus came to serve not to be served. Matt. 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Phil. 2:5-7 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of "no reputation" (emptied Himself), taking the form of a "bondservant" (slave), and coming in the likeness of men.

I hope I have adequately answered you. If not, please email me and we can pursue it in more depth.

Water, steam and ice analogy was made up by evangelists to explain the trinity in a quick and sloppy way. However, it isn't accurate. God revealed the trinity to me as 3 images superimposed onto one another. Here's how that works:

God is light. You know that and all Christians know that. What light is though, is where a brain is required. Fortunately, God sent Albert Einstein to enlighten us on light. Light has a definite speed, and is the one and only point of stillness, so to say, in the universe. Everything can be measured by comparing it to the speed of light. E=mc^2 is the equation. Then we stumble upon the great mystery of light: the nucleus. The electrons swarming around a nucleus are the lenses, or films, of the projector of the light of the atom.

An example of that great light is electricity. Electromotive force is invisible and causes electricity to enact upon matter. When electromotive force passes through an atom, it lifts one of its electrons to let the light within the atom gush forth momentarily. We call that 'electricity.' Electricity is the light of the atoms of the medium along which electromotive force travels along. We see a fraction of the light within trillions of atoms when we see a spark of electricity and we get a peak at a fraction of God's face. That's the Father; the nuclear force.

The son is you. A man can hold a gun to a missionary and ask who God is and say that he is God, in control of the gun. The missionary can answer, "right you are, sir. You said a very profound truth. You can use your will to give life or to take it."

The Holy Spirit: The very conscience in charge of what everyone senses; the vibration that determines what kind of film electrons are upon the nucleus (the Father), determining the projection of our reality.

The Father=light

The son=you

The Holy Spirit=vibration

There's light and vibration. The rest is up to you.

The Bible does not support the trinity and history shows trinity has a beginning back in Babylonian times with King Nimrod, Jesus nor his disciples talked about the trinity, on the contrary Jesus gave all honor to his Father Jehovah God Psalms 83:18

Which God is the question Rama ?

Buddha Krishna or Christian God or Allah ?

Great Question.

Best Wishes.

Now I know that this may be confusing but there is but one god. Father,. Son and Holy Spirit. 3 persons in one god.

The difficulty came right at the start when they decided that god could not lie with a human, so the holy spirit was invented to do the job and as he is invisible accounts for Mary's confusion.

When Jesus was born he actually became god ans the spirit was left to look after things in heaven.

Then they decided that wouldn't work and god was put back in heaven and Jesus became his son and the holy spirit came amongst us to help jesus in his quest to save everybody.

From what actually never becomes clear. But the 3 are definitely one it says so in the creed.

Yes

It is a feeble attempt to explain the trinity, but that's pretty much all we have aside from a few other similar analogies. It is more accurate to say it is one God manifest in three persons, one of them having been human for a time.

When Jesus came to earth to die for our sins, He was under the Law of His religion-He kept all the Jewish Laws. Also, He was subject to the "material laws of nature" as well, just like any other human. He ate, drank, slept, went the the bathroom. He was sad, angry, and happy-He had all the emotions we have as well. He only came to earth as a human one time, so He could be a sacrifice for our sins. We not longer have to fear death because He paid the ultimate price for our sins by dying for us, taking our place so that when we stand before God when we die, if we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, He will be our advocate, taking all our sins for us.
