Trinity is what separates Christianity from other religions. It is impossible to explain Trinity with human words. There have been many philosophers who tried to explain a god or gods but Trinity is beyond human imaginations or ideas.

Therefore, It is impossible to know God of His words by using the pagan philosophers’ words. It is abominable that Christian ministers and theologians quote the words of Plato or Aristotle or even try to borrow ideas from them. Even Calvin quoted Plato here and there because the Roman Catholic promoted such education then (and now). But he admitted that Plato did not know God.

He said, “…we differ from each other, in that every one appropriates to himself some peculiar error; but we are all alike in this, that we substitute monstrous fictions for the one living and true God—a disease not confined to obtuse and vulgar minds, but affecting the noblest, and those who, in other respects, are singularly acute. How lavishly in this respect have the whole body of philosophers betrayed their stupidity and want of sense? To say nothing of the others whose absurdities are of a still grosser description, how completely does Plato, the soberest and most religious of them all, lose himself in his round globe? What must be the case with the rest, when the leaders, who ought to have set them an example, commit such blunders, and labour under such hallucinations? (The Institute of the Christian Religion 1.5.11).

Many ministers and theologians say we should read this and that book to know God more as if they understand God by their own intellectual abilities. And those books are often mixed with the ideas of pagan philosophers.

Churches have been focusing on bringing more people in rather than educating the saints. Megachurches are rich but do not preach what is true. Education has been downgraded to satisfy the majority. And slowly, churches have lost their ability to function because they want to satisfy many. Their Christianity is no longer for those who enter through the narrow door.

“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin standing outside and knocking on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ and He then will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will begin saying, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’ And yet He will say, ‘I do not know where you are from; LEAVE ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’ (Luke 13:24-27)

A certain logic is required to understand God’s words. But this logic is given by God and stays intact only by the power of God. People who received the Holy Spirit are often misguided by their ministers to read books with full of errors. Saints often waste their time and money on them.

It is like there are million pieces of puzzle. Most theologians focus on looking at what each piece shows and failed to put pieces together. This is the disadvantage of the systematic theology. Sometimes pieces are placed in the wrong places. If we wholeheartedly seek God’s guidance, He will put the puzzle pieces together so that we could see His plans. But theologians and ministers say they do not need God and they would rather read books of pagan philosophers. Therefore, the knowledge of trinity is not given to them.

The knowledge of Trinity is summarised in the Athanasius Creed and the Nicene Creed. But even if one says he/she has fully memorized them, the knowledge may not be given.

The most shocking thing I noticed in the Reformed church is that even ministers do not know who to call when praying. Many theologians see God as three gods or Jesus is the only God. Many people grow up in churches and believe that they serve only Jesus Christ who saved them from the hands of the Father. The devil already laid foundations for the anti-christ within churches by the hands of the false teachers.

We can only understand the glimpse of the mystery of Trinity when we read the Bible again and again. But even if one read the Bible a hundred times, he or she may not have the knowledge unless God gives wisdom. We can only ask God for His mercy.
