**The Trinity is a man-made concept**

If you mean the “each is a separate person, each omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, but all three are in unity, making one God”; or something like that? (if one has all three of those attributes, why does he need the other two for help?)

The carnal, earthly understanding of mankind, thinks of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as something of a ‘chip off the ol block’, imagining a couple of immortal men, one older than the other, hanging out in heaven.

Jesus Christ, body and soul, is God, ONLY because of the Father (Spirit, John 4:23,24) in him.

Mary “was found with child of the Holy Ghost”. Matt. 1:18
The Father didn’t do it himself? I mean, he’s omnipresent, so he was there. He’s omniscient, so he knew how to perform the miracle. He’s omnipotent, so he had power to make it happen. And the Christ continually referred to the Father as his ‘father’. The answer is simple; the Holy Ghost is a portion of the Almighty God, that is given to aid lowly man (no man can hold the infinite God; that should be obvious).

Diety cannot die; the Christ died. “Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father..”. Rom. 6:4

By man-made trinity logic, one can have all three persons in them:

If the Father is omnipresent, and can be in you. Eph. 4:6
The Son is omnipresent, and can be in you. “..Christ in you the hope of glory”. Col. 1:27
The Holy Ghost is omnipresent, and can be in you. “..the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that OBEY him”. Acts 5:32

It is so simple; the Father is Spirit, and the Son is fleshly man with a soul. He chose to create him, dwell in him, and by him, reconcile the world unto himself, giving of his Spirit to lowly man.

**the egg having a shell, the white and a yolk.**

Stupid example. I wonder who dreamed up that concept. There’s at least three important items in the yolk alone, and the yolk is the only part that ends up being a living, breathing, critter.

That’s how a preacher explained the Trinity. I just sat there with my mouth hanging open. It seemed insulting to me but we were taught not to criticize the preacher. “Touch not God’s anointed.” I’m glad I am now free from all that.
