Do Christians Have Three Gods Part 1?
Without doubt great is the mystery of Godliness. Part of the thing of understanding God is the realisation that he does not fit into very neat descriptions and that any attempt to define him is is going to fall short in some way. And this is to be expected from God who is all powerful and chooses to reveal himself to human beings as God who is three in one. It should be really stressed here that it is God that has sort to reveal himself in that way, human beings have not reach into the great eternity with a sketch pad and drawn the divine in outline but God has opened the ear of the prophet and said this is who I am. Almost any attempt to handle the whole subject of the Trinity will fall short in some way because it is really a revealed truth. someone will say Aha!!! you see one God with three heads, well if we seek to dissect it with intellect we will not get far, but you know, knowing God is all about faith in how he has chosen to reveal himself and responding to that. At the end of the day we cannot dictate to God how it is we would like him to present himself. It is like saying a piece of pottery telling its maker that it objects to the apron that was worn during the creative process. The pot does not have the right to dictate to how the potter has presented him/herself. When all is said and done it is expected of God that he is mysterious and that some things about him will never be found out,
