The Holy Trinity to non-Christians

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

    Sometimes the hardest of questions can be found in the simplest of 

answers. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are One. To simplify it 

more I will use the example used by St. Patrick when he explained it to 

the Irish upon the beginning steps of converting the whole nation. And 

this is fact. He used the example of the shamrock. Quite a simple, 

impressive and easy understanding for a beginner in this topic. St. Patrick 

took a shamrock with three clovers and one with four. He asked them 

what makes a true shamrock and they said three clovers four wouldn't for 

it wouldnt be a true shamrock. This is just an example of a simpler way to 

explain this issue. I believe the Creator with all his might and goodness 

can become three in one. When Jesus told his disciples "Those who have 

seen Me have seen God". Jesus was God's mouthpiece on Earth (a speaker 

basically for Himself.) God for all his infinite power cannot directly preach 

to unworthy beings such as ourselves. So he sent Himself in a way we 

could understand, we could relate and that is through Jesus Christ. A 

Being who shared pain and joy as any other human yet still divine by His 

Holy Nature. Through the other prophets beginning with Abraham to 

Moses, the people did not follow God's covenant (the pact we as humans 

should have kept our promise to Him). Through Christ (Himself), a new 

covenant that would last till the final day should be observed. 

I'm having a hard time understanding why Muslims have a hard time with 

this. Is there not 99 names for Allah? Why is it wrong to believe God can 

be three beings into One?
