{"quotes":[{"text":"A Jesus Follower can explain our 'One God in Three Persons' is like an 'equilateral triangle'. Both have three, conjoined, and distinct but identical parts. This is a simple way to help non-Followers of Jesus who struggle with the concept of Trinity to better understand the Three Personalities of our One Living God...God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.' ~ gfp '42©.","author":"Gary F. Patton","tags":["christianity","evangelism","jesus","trinity"],"id":2108,"author_id":"Gary+F.+Patton"},{"text":"The Triune God is in the world, nearer to us than we are to ourselves, yet the world is also encompassed by his loving presence. He does have the whole world in his hands, even while he inhabits the whole world. For Christians, being saved means being caught up into this communion, indwelled by God and indwelling in him, and being opened up so that other people may have room in us and we in them.","author":"Peter J.

All three are the self-disclosure of God, The One \u0026 Only ...In three, distinct \u0026 unique Persons, Father, Son, \u0026 Holy Spirit.","author":"Gary Patton","tags":["bible","father","holy-spirit","son","the-word","trinity"],"id":49903,"author_id":"Gary+Patton"},{"text":"There is something gratuitous about creation, an unnecessary abundance of beauty, and through its blossoms and pleasures we can revel in the sheer largesse of the Father.","author":"Michael Reeves","tags":["beauty","christianity","creation","god","god-the-father","trinity"],"id":71055,"author_id":"Michael+Reeves"},{"text":"The Theology of The Holy Trinity has been well established for 1700 years. In my opinion, it is hyper-evident by the New Testament manuscripts in conjunction with the writings and ensuing Theologies of The Early \u0026 Later Church fathers that The Father,The Son, and The Holy Spirit are Objectively Real and True'.~R.

Christianity has five gods: three that band together against one who apparently has managed to stand his ground for millennia, and a mother of god who is worshiped at the same level as the other members of the quadrinity.","author":"Bangambiki Habyarimana","tags":["bangambiki-habyarimana","belief","belief-in-god","belief","belief-system","beliefs","believer","believing","christian-faith","christian-living","christian","christian-theology","christianity","christianity-faith","devil-worship","faith","faith-in-god","faith-in-yourself","faith","faith-reason","faith-vs-reason","faithful","faithfulness","fear-of-god","god","goddess","gods","habyarimana-bangambiki","mother-of-god","pagan","pagan-book","pagan-goddess","pagan-gods","pagan-idols","pagan-whispers","paganism","paganism","pagans","quadrinity","religion","religion-and-philoshophy","religion-spirituality","religion-vs-science","religious","religious-faith","satan","satan-worship","satanism","spirituality","spirituality","spirituality-vs-religion","trinity","virgin-birth","virgin-mary"],"id":79989,"author_id":"Bangambiki+Habyarimana"},{"text":"Father, Son, and Holy Spirit remind us that there is always more of God than we know, always more of God than we can explain, always more of God than we can show. The Trinity says God is not in a box but is bigger, much bigger than we imagine. God is more powerful than we sometimes want to believe or remember, but in remembering there is great comfort.","author":"Thomas R.

All glory be ascribed to the holy Three in One.","author":"Gerard Manley Hopkins","tags":["catholicism","religion","trinity"],"id":132962,"author_id":"Gerard+Manley+Hopkins"},{"text":"Because the Christian God is not a lonely God, but rather a communion of three persons, faith leads human beings into the divine communion. One cannot, however, have a self-enclosed communion with the Triune God- a 'foursome,' as it were-- for the Christian God is not a private deity. Communion with this God is at once also communion with those others who have entrusted themselves in faith to the same God. Hence one and the same act of faith places a person into a new relationship both with God and with all others who stand in communion with God.","author":"Miroslav Volf","tags":["relationship","trinity"],"id":147259,"author_id":"Miroslav+Volf"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":37,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
