    Default Re: The Trinity

    This is all interesting but who created God?

    Or did nothing exist before Him and then he sprung into being whole?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    No, he has always been. Time is essentially(I say essentially because God created the means by which we measure time) a man-made convention. Before creation, there was no time. 2 Peter 3:8 makes it plain that God is beyond the limits of time.
    I will let Rhy answer in detail, but I felt that this thread, and Sigurd's long post did need to be addressed while he is preparing his response.
    That is one of the remarkable things about the trinity, and we as humans need not be able to fully understand it. Christ is a part of one entity. He is his own individual part of that body.
    "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:9
    Rhy, I hope I didn't steal part of your response.
    Sigurd, I am aware of the Elohim reference in Genesis, it is referring to the three parts all being present at creation, at least, that is how I understand it, and it does not conflict with the teachings of the trinity as found in the Bible. Principle rule, interpret Scripture with Scripture.

    Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: Psalm 144:1

    In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
    As modest stillness and humility:
    But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
    Then imitate the action of the tiger;
    -Henry V by William Shakespeare
