The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity: The Trinity, Three Distinct Beings in One: The Trinity of God

The Trinity, Three Distinct Beings in One: The Trinity of God

                How does this translate over to God?  The Bible refers to these distinct parts of God as the Father, Son (or Word) and Holy Spirit.  The Father, which is like the human soul, is like the ALU of the computer.  The soul of a being receives data from all sources and it arranges all things and makes all the decisions and issues all the commands.  Likewise, as you read the Bible, you begin to see that the Father receives data from all sources and He arranges all things and makes all the decisions and issues all the commands.

                The Son, which is like the human body, is like the computer code.  This is probably one of the hardest things for humans to grasp, though it may seem the easiest.  Everyone knows what a body is right?  However, the truth is that the body is not what most people perceive it to be.  The body is more like that video game character, an avatar (or representation of the user in a video game world).  What you see on the screen is NOT what the video game character is made of. 

                As I mentioned previously, in truth, the video game character’s body that you see on the screen is made up of lots and lots of tiny little color dots called pixels.  These pixels are displayed on the screen in just such a way so that your eyes see and transmit to your brain an image that you recognize as a character.  (I’m stating this again to reinforce it as well as to make a point about the Son, God’s “Flesh” or “Body”.)  Tons and tons of computer code dictate to the screen exactly where each of those tiny little pixels is placed.  Therefore, the definition of that image is actually in all of those tons and tons of computer code that you never even see.  So what you see is only what the code of a person’s body tells the code of your brain to see.

                The body, therefore, is actually made up of tons and tons and tons of code that define every single little atom’s placement and function.  What we call the body is really just a massive collection of definitions.  This is why the Bible also refers to the Son as the Word of God.

                Yes, the Word of God is a more accurate definition for the Body of God.  The Word of God is literally every definition, every code, which exists within God.  It is the exact definition and representation of God.  The Word of God defines God.  Without the Word of God, just like with the computer and its computer code, God would not be able to function or exist.  The soul of God, the Father, would not understand anything because there would be no language to understand.  No orders could be issued because there would be nothing that those orders were made up of.  The Word is necessary to create orders and define them.

                So the Son, as Christians call this part of God, is really more accurately the Word.  He, the Word, is the self-centered part of God.  When God says, “They are My people, Israel,” He is speaking from the Word of God.  The Word dictates to God that He has proclaimed the people of Israel as His.  When He says, “I am a jealous God,” He is speaking from the “Word” part of himself, and telling people what His opinion is and what He likes and what He wants.

                Finally, the Holy Spirit, which is like the human spirit, is like the computer’s control unit and energy supply.  It is the Holy Spirit that gives life to all things.  It is this energy that transmits all data to and from the Father.  It gathers information from the Father’s memory and brings it to His attention so that He can take that information and figure out what to do with it. 

                Just as the energy of the computer is transmitted throughout every part of the computer, so the Holy Spirit goes throughout every part of the universe.  He is the omnipresent aspect of God.  Just as the energy within a computer transmits electronic signals throughout the computer, delivering the code to the ALU from all parts of the computer, so does the Holy Spirit receive data from all things that exist, and the Holy Spirit passes this all to the mind and memory of the Father.  Finally, just as all things are executed by the power of the energy that flows through the computer, which is controlled by the control unit, so the Holy Spirit is the power that executes every single command of God.  It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that ANYTHING that happens can happen in the universe.

                So the Holy Spirit is the power of God.  Therefore, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent.  However, even though He is omnipotent, He still takes commands from the Father who issues those commands with the Word.  Therefore, in a sense, the Father is the omnipotent one, for although the Spirit controls the power that executes all actions, it is the Father that tells the Spirit what to execute.  The Spirit submits to the Will of the Father.  The Father, therefore, dominates the Spirit, and the Spirit submits to the Father.

                This makes the Father, then, the omniscient one as well.  Because the Spirit brings all knowledge to the Father, the Father is able to know all things.  So the Father is truly the ruling mind of the entire universe.  He is the big boss.  He knows all and sees all, but only because the Holy Spirit gives Him this power and information.  He is present everywhere only because the Holy Spirit is everywhere.  This is why ONLY the Word of God can divide soul and spirit.  Only the Word of God can define the difference between the two and separate them out so that we might understand them.
