    For all you Trinitarian Monotheistics out there, explain to me how exactly it works.

    When I was Christian it always struck me as funny that whenever I asked about it, they would always say "I don't know all the answers, only G-d does!"
    or something of that nature.

    It makes literally NO sense at all. How is G-d one, yet Three at the same time.
    Jesus was born of man (woman technically), and he is of the flesh, not G-d.

    How so? He was born from Mary, and she was married to Joseph.

    Worst. Explanation. Ever.

    God is one being/essence/whatever, existing in 3 distinct, co-equal, co-eternal persons. The Son is not the Father and the Father is not the holy spirit.

    It is often claimed that the 3 travelers Abraham encounters (who end up being god) are scriptural evidence of the trinity.

    Jesus is incarnate, fully god in full flesh. tempted like humans, cried like humans, hurt like humans, yet can transcend these things...

    He said born of man not of God, so I clearly stated He came from God! I was not referring to the trinity in this case, just making a point that Jesus is fully human, fully God.

    An ace can be a one or an eleven at the same time.
    Light is a wave and a particle at the same time.
    sometimes, something can be multiple things at the same time, even if we as humans are unable to wrap our minds around it.
