[QUOTE="The Unforgettable Fire, post: 60038582, member: 226143"] There's nothing wrong with this answer, but it wasn't really what I was alluding to. My point was that, In the world of faith, intellect makes a fine servant, but a horrible master. @ Ken There are many things (not just the trinity) that simply have to be accepted on faith. The best my own reasoning can give me is realizing how hopeless it is to try and figure out God. If you can figure out God, then He most certainly isn't God. Let's just say for a moment that you did figure out and fully understand the trinity. What have you accomplished? Reason to believe? If you are using it as reason to believe then you are basing your faith off of your own ability to understand things. While this is a choice each person has, think about how ridiculously tiny our minds are in contrast to the universe. We know so very little. I think faith is stepping into the "not knowing." trusting the true, good God is really there, waiting, wanting us to embrace Him in faith, to let go and accept Him, the God revealed in Jesus. Again...nothing wrong with pondering the trinity question. Just remember, when we get to heaven, we will in all likely hood all say "ohhhhh...why did I spend so much time worrying about that."
