I have in the past moved past it and focused on other things, but it always keeps coming back, which is why I've started asking, in the hope to find other views and some clarification from scripture

Because I am uncomfortable with the fact that God isn't one Person, but we often refer to God in a singular manner, and for me, it's actually quite a distracting thought

Quite a thorough explanation, and I think it is useful to understand scripturally where the basis of the Trinity is, especially the part about translating Hebrew to English, so thank you

I guess I don't really like vague things, so for me, it is a stumbling block. It's not that it stops me from being faithful, but it stops me from loving God with all my being

I really like this, it's a nice simple way of 'how God works'

That's really helpful actually, I think it's something that for me never sat quite right, and I'm not sure if it ever will, or even if it's supposed to. Perhaps it's just the change in how people understood God between the OT and the NT that is the root of the confusion

It still remains something that is very confusing, I've spoken to a few priests about this, and all I got was that God is one, and 3 at the same time, which is a contradiction.

It may not be something that people often don't care about, but the nature of God, for me, is important and at the moment, this is something that is preventing me from continuing further with my faith. I have prayed about this many times, and I still feel no closer to an answer

So why do we often talk about God as one Person, for example Exodus 3:14, we are given that God is called 'I AM WHO I AM', so why is it possible to ignore that and assume that God is three Persons in 1? If God wasn't a singular being, Exodus 3:14 would surely read 'WE ARE WHO WE ARE', no?

This is something that's bugged me for quite a while and I can't seem to get my head around it. I constantly see things which, to my mind, seem to contradict, sometimes God is referred to as part or the whole of the Holy Trinity, but then in the Creeds, we profess that we believe in one God. In...

Hi all, Recently I've been considering my faith and finding love for Christ. I've also been reading scripture. And I've been wanting to start going to church regularly for a while now. I intend to do so starting this Sunday. (fingers crossed that that goes well) The reason for me choosing...

It's much closer than the ELCE church, but still relatively far away, it would depend largely on traffic on how fast I could get there; there aren't any motorways to use

Cool, thanks for the link

I did have a quick look, the closest congregation to me is a drive of about 2.5 hours away

It truly is XD Between Adam and Jacob, around 67 people are listed as being born, not including Adam and Eve or the many cities and nations.
