    That’s why the trinity is essential - Jesus is God. God became man so He could die Himself

          perhaps you could explain to me how three people could exist in one? of course without using the words “holy mystery.” how convenient is it that the most basic tenets of the religion, like the belief in god, require blind faith.

          but God is beyond comprehension you will say, and that of course not all of it makes sense to my feeble human mind.

          What about this: How is it reasonable for you to believe in a religion?

          Because you were told to, absent of any sort of proof, from the time that you were a child? Granted I’m making an assumption but one well grounded in reality.

          What of the similarities (Virgin birth, resurrection, etc.) to other religions? what about the constant translations re-translations and mis-translations of the bible? What about the Hindu and Buddhists that believe in their faith just as fervently because they too were indoctrinated from birth? is your book older than their book? Is your God more plausible than their God?

          regardless of all that, if you make the claim that God exists or that he’s three people or he’s got 17 arms, the burden of proof is on you, and I guarantee you can’t meet it.

              If I told you that my father is two people, you’d either think I was unwell or being metaphorical. He is a single person who can be viewed through lenses. The trinity is distinct. They are referred to as “three persons.”

              I don’t need an infographic to explain daddy’s existence:
