Trinity makes up one entity. So each member of the trinity is 1/3rd of the whole, unless there are decimal points as well. So when Christ was on earth that left only 2/3rds of God in heaven. So was God complete then, with one-third missing? Also Christ's death means that 1/3rd is sacrificed to the 2/3rd, but apparently that is a plus leading to a full One.
Whew, the computers would break down trying to deal with this maths.

Hi Hinduwoamn, Christ came down "to" earth but never was "on" earth.

Christ never died but Jesus died to end his world here on earth. This dying of Jesus is what set Christ free which could only be since he was not "on" earth.

To make this easier to understand I should add that Christ was born unto Jesus (and therefore down to earth) and when Jesus died to his world Christ was set free (because the world of Jesus was gone).

I just want to know how Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday morning translate to 3 days.

hinduwoman,

Sure, since Each of the three Persons of the Trinity are "omnipresent". It was just that Jesus, the second Person of the Trinity, also took on human form.

No doubt. Though I don't see why they should have any more clue than I do as to why "Christ's death means that 1/3rd is sacrificed to the 2/3rd, but apparently that is a plus leading to a full One".

The Trinity is not that difficult to understand. Three Persons, Each God, comprising One "Godhead" (being perfectly united in heart, mind, and will). Distinct Persons, of the same "substance" or "essence". One "rulership", led by God the Father, apparently. Perhaps kind of like if three brothers (each perfectly in agreement with the other) each shared the kingship of a kingdom - one "Kingship", but three "Kings".


In Christ,

That's easy. Easter is the day on which evening did not follow the day and continued throughout the next day as well. Therefore Easter always begins on a Sunday and is celebrated for two days.

I see that my post effectively answered the question.

Is each person in the Godhead identical to one and the same God? Or is each person in the Godhead only part of that God? Or does the Godhead consist of three distinct Gods? The last two interpretations are heretical, while the first one entails the contradiction that there are three numerically distinct beings, A, B and C, each of them numerically identical with some being D. As the original contributor said, the mathematics and logic here do not compute.

No.

No.

Yes. (Although "distinct" should be qualified by saying "distinct Persons Who are Each God, yet uniquely share the same 'essence', Each being eternal and uncreated".)

The last one is not heretical.

As I have said, the mathematics and logic regarding the Trinity do compute.


In Christ,
