Understanding the Trinity Using Commonsense

alchemistofophir

They say that the Trinity is a mystery, an illogical concept concocted by Christians to present God.

But if we think of it, it's not really a mystery. It has biological basis.

But before I go on, I would like to say that the Trinity was conceptualized by a Gnostic named Valentinus and was adapted to Orthodox Christianity. Yes, Trinitarianism is originally Gnostic.

Being a Gnostic Christian, I'm indoctrinated to believe in the Trinity.

In Gnosticism, the Trinity is the Father, the Mother and the Son or the Child. The Father, Sophia and Jesus.

Now, lets see the hierarchy of creation. To create life, we need a female and a male, the Father and the Mother, to create a Child. Out of Love, this 3 persons create life and it could go on in eternal cycle. To achieve eternality, we need 3.

God made humans in his image. Thus in this image, we see three people in the hierarchy. The Father, the Mother and the Child.

The three are inseparable but operating as 1 unit. We need three to create the cycle of life.


Thus the Trinity is an abstraction of the cycle of life. This is bound by love. The power of Creation resides in three.

Thus we have the Trinity. The Father, the Holy Spirit (Sophia) and the Son (Child).

It is bound by love, which is above and beyond good and evil.

"Above all else, my children, be hard. For what is done for love is beyond good and evil."
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Thus God who is Love, is the Trinity, which is 3 as One unit. And God = Love = Trinity is above and beyond good and evil.

So, in short, the trinity can also be applied to ordinary people who are the fathers, the mothers, and the children.

what if the father, and the mother have 4 children? can we apply trinity to them?

bro totben, two persons produces naturally 1 child. there are times that an egg is split or there are two eggs form but most of the time, a single child is born.

or you could think of it as the mother, the father and the children. still 3 in the hierarchy.

We cannot use the common sense of HUMAN LIFE and apply it to God. That's absurd.

You were repeatedly talking about creation of life and repeatedly applying it to the nature of God.

The TRUE GOD has no BEGINNING. He cannot be created. Therefore He is not subject to the CYCLE OF LIFE you're talking about.

We are in Gods image. And the image of life has 3 persons, the mother, the father and the children.

Thus God is the Trinity.

Trinity is not just a Christian belief even older beliefs like in ancient Hindus' has Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, i.e. the creator, the preserver and the destroyer.

There is only One God but can be split into three basic rays as the Trinity or seven rays as in the seven colors of the light spectrum as divine manifestations. Or can split into the ten legalistic principles or into the twenty two quabbalistic divine emanations in accordance to the science of the Word/Logos. God has many forms and manifestations to different peoples of different cultures and various religious beliefs and called by various names whether Dyaus-pitar, Zeus the father, Deus/Theos, Jupiter, Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, El , Brahma, Ishtar the Morning star, Tala/Tara, etc. There is only one Source but different rays of manifestation.

On the Trinity, in accordance to the Law of Duality or Polarity issuing forth from the Law of Oneness(there is only One God, everything is Mind as we, his creation as the holographic representaion of the creator, the microcosm of the macrocosm) and in accordance to the Law of Analogy and Correspondence;

you have the Masculine aspect, the Fiery element, Expansion Principle, the Fiery Will/Strong absolute Faight, the All-mighty, All-powerful, God the Father,

then you have the Feminine aspect, the Watery element, the compression Principle, Loving and Benevolence, the All loving God the mother relegated by the Catholic doctrine as the Holy Ghost.

then you have the Airy principle, the mediator between the Fiery and Watery principles, God the Son, God the All-Knowing or Wisdom, carrying the qualitities of both and establishing the neutral equilibrium. The Logos.

The image of God refers to the fact that we're, like Him, sapient beings; it has nothing to do with reproduction.

Furthermore, you're treating Him like He's some kind of species that mates and breeds, which isn't the case.

Lastly, you can't be your own father and mother, that's completely illogical; it makes as much sense as this:
