Now look here, all you heathen. If you wanted to invent a religion, which I hope you don't, would you encourage the followers of your sect to worship one God in Trinity of persons and unity of substance? Of course you wouldn't, you'd tell your devotees to worship one god or many gods, the human mind can go so far. Yes, but the Triune Deity? No, this has been revealed to us by God Himself and no other religion has it.
Proof positive, I'd argue, in the veracity of the thing, but can we pierce the veracity of the thing? I'll leave you with a prayer:
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast given unto us thy servants grace, by the confession of a true faith to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity: We beseech thee, that thou wouldst keep us steadfast in this faith, and evermore defend us from all adversities, who livest and reignest, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Bless you all,

It amazes me that there are many Christians who don't grok the concept of the Trinity.
Three parts make the whole. The Whole can be three parts. (sudden flash of understanding...)
Then there's the whole "Jesus was a man so God could experience being human" thingy.
That last ting baffles me, Beans. The Word was made Flesh to raise up, evate humanity to the Divine. Not the other way around.
I was taught that He became flesh, yes, to raise up and elevate humanity, but also to experience the suffering of Man. By experiencing the suffering it was part of the raising and elevating, kind of a painful, excruciating 'walk a mile in my shoes' type of thing.
That may have been one of the heresies pushed by post-Vatican II Catholicism. Or I took too many hits in the head when fighting. Or both?
Beans, I think that's on target.
