Current Events > Does the Holy Trinity contradict logic itself?

(+) Yeah! (+)

This argument is pointless, because people will simply state "God exists beyond logic that humans can comprehend".

So is God like the center of a black hole? I hear those go beyond some logic and physics as well.

Not really.

They could all just be "extensions" of God. Like how your right arm and left leg are both you but not each other. Or maybe the better analogy is that you could be playing an MMO and have multiple characters on the same account.

Or perhaps there's something I'm not understanding about Catholicism that makes this analogy impossible.

Christianity tends to contradict itself almost all the time

I mean, just look at the whole free will thing

Or the God vs Satan thing

Which is why discussing the Holy Trinity is pointless.

Could god microwave a burrito so hot that even he couldn't hold it? Checkmate Christians.

Think of the three members of the Trinity as aspects of the same thing or person. God, Jesus, and the Spirit all have different properties and roles that the other two cannot fulfill.

I could call my self Shiny and give myself three different roles: Gamer, Scientist, Teacher

While acting as a Gamer, I am not currently doing experiments or teaching people how to solve problems.
While acting as a Scientist, I am not wasting my time looking for Koroks and am not acting as a mentor.
While acting as a teacher, I am not pressing Up+B to recover nor am I analyzing gigs upon gigs of data.

All three roles correspond to the kind of person I am as a whole, but in general, the three roles manifest themselves fully only in certain places or times. They are separate, yet add up to an entire whole.

I am a gamer, I am a scientist, I am a teacher. But each of those three roles can exist without the other and are decidedly not the same.

God is all of the separate entities.

But the separate entities are not each other, what's so hard to understand?

i didn't read the topic

The Trinity is more akin to the analogy of Elizabeth II I laid out earlier; they're very specific roles that apply only to her.
