The Trinity

There have been many attempts at metaphors to explain the Trinity. I epically like C.S. Lewis's explanation, how in two dimensions all objects have only one surface but in higher dimensions an object can have more than one surface. But, I think the best explanation is given by Jesus when he speaks of marriage as the two become one. What makes the two one is love. Whatever happens to one happens to both through love. If one gets good news they are both happy. and if one gets bad news they are both sad. I think what makes the three into one in the Trinity is also love. While it remains difficult to understand it seems logically necessity if God is a god of love. If there is no Trinity than what did God love? If God loved humans even before they where created than God would need humans to be loving. If Good needs humans to bee loving than God is incomplete and therefor imperfect alone.



(7/24/11) "God in His deepest mystery is not a solitude, but a family, since he has in Himself fatherhood, sonship, and the essence of the family, which is love."-John Paul II
