God the Trinity Expressed in Creation

The Trinity can be a difficult concept to understand. Some think it is a logical contradiction. Others call it a mystery. Does the Bible teach it? Yes it does. The Trinity is defined as one God who exists in three eternal, simultaneous, and distinct persons known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Such a definition may suffice for some, but for others this explanation is insufficient.

Therefore, to help understand the Trinity better, I offer the following analogy that, I think, is hinted at in Romans 1:20 - "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."

Basically, the universe consists of three elements: Time, Space, and Matter. Each of these is comprised of three 'components.'

Time     Past      Present      Future
Space   Height   Width        Depth
Matter   Solid     Liquid        Gas

As the Trinitarian doctrine maintains, each of the persons of the Godhead is distinct, yet they are all each, by nature, God.

With time, for example, the past is distinct from the present, which is distinct from the future. Each is simultaneous, yet they are not three 'times,' but one. That is, they all share the same nature: time.

With space, height is distinct from width, which is distinct from depth, which is distinct from height. Yet, they are not three 'spaces,' but one. That is, they all share the same nature: space.

With matter, solid is not the same as liquid, which is not the same as gas, which is not the same as solid. Yet, they are not three 'matters,' but one. That is, they all share the same nature: matter.

Note that there are three sets of threes. In other words, there is a trinity of trinities. If we were to look at the universe and notice these qualities within it, is it fair to say that these are the fingerprints of God upon His creation? I think so. Not only is this simply an observation, but it is also a good source for an analogy of the Trinity.

Una po sa lahat hindi naman "clearly expressed" sa talatang ginamit nyo ang trinity. Ang pinag uusapan po diyan ay ang mga qualities ng Diyos, including wisdom.


“How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made.”—Psalm 104:24.

Romans po tayo hindi Psalms..

Alam ko po, dagdag kaalaman lang po yung sa Psalms.

Pero maliwanag po sa Roma 1:20 na ang tinutukoy ay ang "qualities" ng Diyos, kasama ang wisdom. Hindi po tungkol sa pagiging trinity.
