Well, Sy and Elayna, I know you’ve been wondering just when
I would get to this. I see the hungry look in your eyes as you ask without
knowing “what is the trinity?” Daddy is intuitive with this sort of stuff and I
know you’re ready for it.
I’ve talked about it in the past right here on this site
(which I notice Elayna somehow got to). I could try to tell you that God is
sorta like me, one Daddy but I’m also Mommy’s husband, Uncle Ivan’s brother and
your Father but that wouldn’t be quite right. You see God is really three
different persons.
That’s sorta like saying that God is three different people,
but that’s not right either because God is One…there is no other god beside
Him. You can say that He’s maybe like Water that can be ice or water or
steam…but that’s not right either because although People have seen the Son
they haven’t seen the Father and haven’t seen the Holy Spirit (physically
anyway).
I used to say that the trinity is like an egg, the shell is
part of the egg just like the yellow part and the clear stuff is. Three parts,
one egg but that still isn’t quite right because God isn’t completely separate
like how the egg can be an egg without the shell and just the whites. I know
someone said that the trinity is like the three dimensions of space (length,
width and space) and although you don’t get this right now you’ll eventually
find out that there’s potentially even more dimensions of space and that these dimensions
are only typified by our perception of space and dimensionality and if we were
to exist beyond time and transcend to a higher perceptual plane (perhaps of
angelic beings or principalities) we may realize the fourth dimension and
perhaps a fifth just as easily as we look at the dual dimensions of paper.
Um…you didn’t understand any of that, but it’s okay.
I’ve used the example of a pizza pie but not like some other
folk have used it (cheese, dough and sauce ‘cause you can still have pizza
without the sauce—that white pizza that Mommy likes to eat). Not that there's anything wrong with that picture...all pictures really fall short of God but here, try this: Imagine a HUGE
pizza pie lying on its side. You’re not over it, you’re next to it and all you
can see is the one big slice in front of you.
That one big slice tells you all about the rest of the pizza
pie and it is the pizza for all it’s worth but you know that it’s just a slice
of the full pizza. You know that the pizza looks good based on that one slice
(because it’s part of a whole) and you know that the rest of the pizza will
have cheese and sauce…but you can’t figure out how HUGE the pizza is because
the slice in front of you is SOOOOO HUGE. And when that slice lets you have a
bite you now have a piece of that pizza inside of you. You appreciate the pizza
at a whole NEW level—you know it’s yummy, you know it fills you up, you know it
leaves you wanting more pizza. The Pizza is inside of you and is part of the
whole pizza pie. The slice that you can see and eat is in front of you and it
lets you know what the rest of the pie is like and the huge pie that you can’t
see, you know it’s there but you also learn more about it based on what you
have.
So yeah, God can be like a HUGE pizza pie on its side or He
can’t be like that at all because He’s bigger than pizza and bigger than
anything. Yeah you can see Jesus in the Bible. He died on the cross for your
sins and mine. He told us about God and said that God loves us, that He loves
Us and that whoever believes on Him and the One that God sent will have eternal
life. He said that Him and God are one
and made this promise: that once we’re saved Jesus gives us His Spirit so that
we can talk to God directly and thank Jesus for what He’s done. And although we
will one day live forever, we have a new life, an eternal life, starting right
now…and we should tell everyone about that New Life and how very good it is!
Okay maybe you guys don’t get this right now. But if you
decide to ask me the question here’s your answer in advance.
Oh and the sky is blue due to Rayleigh scattering as light
moves through the atmosphere (made up of several different particles) the blue
light rays is absorbed by gas particles
and radiated in different directions. This means that other rays get right
through (like Ultra-violet) and that’s why you also have to wear sunglasses and
sun block no matter if the day is cloudy or not.
