We are told that the Father and the
Son are one. Later, we are told that the Holy Spirit is in unity with the
Father and Son. Three distinct entities, one God.
This baffles many, but it doesn’t
baffle me. The bible also speaks about a husband and wife becoming one. The
marriage between a husband and wife therefore is akin to the relationship that
exists between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This doesn’t mean that a sexual
relationship exists. That’s not what they mean by being “one”. Think of a child
who asks her mother if she can have candy before supper. The mother says, “No”,
and the child goes to her father. The father normally doesn’t care, but knowing
the mother said no, he too says no. The father and mother are one.
In the case of the trinity, the
three entities, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, are in unity with one another.
They are, however, three separate entities.
