Random question. Does the analagy "Just as a rectangular prism is on a higher plane than a line segment in having 2 more dimensions, God is on a higher plane than man in having 2 more persons (of course He is on a higher plane in infinitely more ways)" work?
Thanks for the question! We invite you to call in to our weekly broadcast to discuss your thoughts with Greg Koukl. He'd love to hear from you. Or you can submit an #STRask or Open Mic question. Visit www.str.org/broadcast for details.
Trinity is hard for our limited minds. I want to give an rudimentary explanation, but every time I start I am reminded of how that does not match what we see expressed by the Bible & once I concede we know this isn't accurate we have given up on truly explaining the trinity & only explaining an aspect of the trinity. It is like our inability to understand the shape of a Tesseract (Not the Marvel version.) even though we can describe it loosely from our 3D perspective & describe it per mathematics.
A person cannot logically explain a doctrine like the trinity when it isn't taught anywhere in scripture by a single prophet or apostle. Christ Himself is never seen telling anybody that God is a triune being, nor can any trinitarian produce a single passage that says it's a core Christian belief. Paul gives us core tenets in Heb. 6:1-2, and the trinity isn't one of them.

Easy peezy One What, Three Who’s.
So that one what was in heaven and at the same time on earth?
If you would look into the lens I think it would improve your content. It's analogous to having eye contact in a conversation.
Sadly, Greg is a creature of habit when it comes to this!
Maybe the trinity is like a man with mind body and spirit Only with God He's holy, timeless and immaterial as well.
Report the scammers!
We do!

Only God is holy, correct? The Father is holy, the son is holy, and the spirit is holy.
