Algernon wrote:He was God, before during and after His stay on this planet. I really don't see how that would contradict the trinity, just because Christ was in a specific location for a short time. Am I misunderstanding your question?
The Trinity has always been and will always be. During the relatively miniscule period of time that Jesus spent on Earth, He was STILL God, though also fully human, and was therefore still part of the Trinity.
That said, the Trinity itself is something of a mystery, and difficult both to understand and to explain. I kind of like that Christianity recognizes that some things are so deeply mysterious that we probably cannot explain them, personally.
I hope this has been slightly helpful. Did I address you question clearly?
Read more: We believe Christ is God in human form, but what was he before he came down to earth, if not human? Wouldn't that contradict the trinity, because that is eternal and man hasn't always been?
OK
I will explain you.
The Hevenly Father is invisible, unimaginable and beyond our logic to analyse. Such God created this universe for His own entertainment and this entire universe is His dream only.
God comes to HIs own dream or universe by entering the most deserving devotee existing on this earth known as 'Son of God'. Jesus was such son of God whom to which God has entered for preaching the divine knoweldge to other people of the world to uplift them.
The combination of Son of GOd and God is known as Human incarnation or Immanuael meaning a GOD who has come to live with us so that we can see Him, talk to Him and co-live with Him and clear all our spiritual doubts. When you see such God in human form you have seen the invisible God in Him. There is no other way to see the invisible God. God comes to this world in human form, by seeing Him we have seen the invisible GOd.
For Human beings on this earth this is the only path to God. When you serve such human form of God you are serving the invisible GOd in Him.
When you give something to Him you have given that thing to GOD directly.
Human incarnation is the correct place of God for us. There is no other way. He is the only way for us.
God is imaprtial and He comes down in human form in every human generation in human form to preach and uplift us. He is identified from His divine knoweldge, which is excellent.
Jesus, Krishna, Bhudha, Mohammd etc were the God in human forms who came to this world.
In Christianity people are confused about Trinity. There is no trinity, there is only two. They are Heavenly Father and Son of God.
For understanding purpose only third term is introduced as Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is Heavenly Father Himself. Holyspirit is a convenient term for God entering a person.
Infact GOd cannot be defined as this or that, since He is unimaginable and beyond the definition of worldly means.
God is unimagianble, but comes in human form.
Thus the Heavenly Father comes to this world by entering the Son of God who is the then most deserving devotee of God, like current entering in a wire (Holy Spirit).
Thus
Heavenly Father = Holy Spirit
Son of God = The most deserving devotee on the earth
Son of God + Heavenly Father = Human Incarnation or Immanueal
If you have any doubts you please further ask me and clarify it.
