[QUOTE="tampasteve, post: 77669235, member: 398316"] I sincerely believe that your questions were genuine, I did not mean to imply that they were not, if it seemed that way I apologize. The issue is that the Trinity just isn't something that is easily explained in common language. Yeah, it is why many Christians file it under that the way that the Trinity works or exists is a "mystery" to them. Personally I don't make a huge effort to actually understand it. I believe Christianity to be the true faith for other reasons and then work back to find that the idea of a Trinity makes sense biblically and historically based on the way that the Faith has played out and based on the observations and thought of people much more steeped and versed in theology than I am. I know that is an appeal to a higher authority argument, but I appeal to it the same way I would appeal to a higher authority in other subjects that I don't really understand or don't put in the effort to truly learn, other people have made that effort already - again such as physics. Actually [I]understanding[/I] the Trinity is not part of my daily religious life. [/QUOTE]
