So apparently, based on this, the church began on that Pentecost was not informed, not saved, and in error as it lacked the wisdom of the church fathers 4 centuries later!

Jesus was a fool because he didn’t know he was God all along!

As a child of Ireland, I loved the history of him, and loved walking the same fields and paths he once did. His trinity explanation of 3 in 1 is what has made my faith walk stronger.

Another analogy for the Trinity that I have found helpful is the sun. The sun is light and heat and radiation, but none of the three is the sun by itself. Not perfect, but, as I said, I found it helpful.

Practically every heresy or false teaching has arisen from an attempt to "protect" a truth but ended in an unfortunate heap in a ditch. This article was well done! And I'm one who has tried to explain the Trinity to a seven year old girl.

The world would have been better off if the pagans had destroyed the Catholic Church in my opinion there is nothing Christian about the Catholic Church they are nothing but a domination and submission organization

That's a quite good and deep explanation of the Trinity with great backup of Bible passages. This essay could easily be turned into a lengthy Bible study in of itself. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, definitely. So much scripture supports the trinity. As I dived into it, I was surprised by how much was there.

The clover analogy is a good one. I was trying to explain it to my son, I used a pie example. A pie cut into three parts, they are all still the same pie (ingredients etc.), but three separate pieces.
