trianglation

i was thinking this morning about the trinity. why, i dont know. it just popped into my head. how can there be a triniy? three different beings in one? doesnt make sense. impossible to comprehend. i was thinking this several years ago when i created my atom image of God. some of you may have seen it painted on my wall amongst other places. the idea that an atom is one thing, yet has 3 different parts-proton neutron and electron. the proton and neutron represent the father and the son, whilst the holy spirit is wizzing around them touching earth then 'going back' too the nucleus to top up on spiritual energy. kinda. anyway, i wasnt thinking that this morning. i was thinking about one cross and three nails. nails for suffering, cross for burden. 3 nails go into one cross. each has a different place, but each has the same amount of responsibility, the same power, the same equality within the trio. each is as valuble as the next. without one, the others may as well not exist. without the father, the son may as well not exist, and without the son, no spirit. no spirit, no father, or son. so the trio is complete. perfect. 3 in one. if it wasnt united as one, then the trio would cease to exist. equilateral triangles are the strongest shape. each side/corner is equal with the next. none can survive without the rest. it is perfect. God is perfect.

Considering that you say 'how can there be a triniy? three different beings in one? doesnt make sense. impossible to comprehend,' I think you have some fairly profound thoughts about it in the rest of your post.

The point about any analogy for the trinity (such as your atomic analogy) is that, much though they can help us begin to approach the mystery of God, they always remain merely analogies... God is altogether unique: the trinity is a unique unity of three

Quote from Augustine for you:
'[The Trinity) are each in each and all in each and each in all and all in all and all are one.'
