    the only trinity i know is a term to describe a trio of family parts.

    There are plenty, there is nothing significant about the Christian trinity bar it claims mother and father, and how important family are - problem is it's associated with God, rather than directly family.

    The trinity is illogical, irrational, and without reality. If there were three gods, the universes would self-destruct. If you think hard enough, you would see the pure irrationality of the trinity doctrine. If Jesus is considered divine, then shouldn't Adam, the first man--whom had neither a biological mother or father--have more right to be considered divine?

    It is not illogical.


    Mind, Body, and Spirit makes One Man not three.

    Mind of The Father, Body of Christ The Son, and The Holy Spirit makes One God not three.


    It seems logical when seen like that.

    Trinity is irrational in terms of the common understandings of persons: 3 persons = 1 person is logically impossible.

    Trinity is defended by creating a metaphysical framework in which contradictions are avoided. That metaphysical framework succeeds in its task, but the problem is that it seems nothing more than post hoc rationalization. I look at the history of Christianity, and it appears this Trinity concept arose to rationalize Jesus' divinity within a monotheistic context. Kudos to the great thinkers for their developing this ingenious metaphysical account, but this doesn't make it any more convincing.

    Is the trinity logically incoherent?

    Anyone know of any theist who has explained this issue?

    I have met The Trinity of God thousands of times in person & what I found is that God is a number of beings that merge into one being.

    It's kind of like when a person goes astral travelling & remains connected to their body via a thread type spiritual appendage that stretches infinitely. The soul flying around & exploring the astral worlds is the same person as the one lying in recline or meditating back at home on earth. And the one back on earth may be an ancient old grouchy thing while the soul flying around can be very youthful in appearance & behaviour. So they do not look or act the same. God is like that. It sends out aspects of itself into the various levels of the heavens & earth etc & they all remain connected to their source & are one with it. That's what God is like & that's how God can exist as a Trinity to some religions. Other religions see God as many more beings in one because God is everywhere at once & so must utilise many more bodies than just 3 & they all can manifest in unique ways depending on the environment they manifest into. However there are 3 basic aspects to God's nature.

    God just spoke & said that "people have cherubim angel guards with them as well."

    Cherubim angelic guards hold people away from The Tree of Life their souls come from.

    In Genesis Cherubim angels are assigned to keep man at bay away from The Tree of eternal life. So people have them around them also, as well as The Trinity of God Itself
