"The Trinity is like if three different people were all playing an online game together and they all had the same username or gamertag. They are three different people, but in the game they are the same person."
So simple.
I haven't done in depth analysis to discover the flaws in this analogy, but Christians spend hours and hours thinking about how to best explain complex spiritual and theological questions. Well, sometimes it may help to just ask a middle schooler. I'm continually amazed at how their minds work.
Have a blessed day!
Perfect coorelation with Pastor Larry's message on Sunday about bringing the gospel in terms that your audience will understand. May not be "perfect" theology, but to those middle schoolers, it was a way they could relate and understand better a very complex theology.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I hadn't even thought about that, but great point. Truth can't connect with our souls if we don't understand it and/or can't relate it to us in some way. Just like in other culture's Jesus isn't the bread of life, He's the rice of life! Context, culture, and experience can shape us more than we realize!
