Let's talk about the Egg. Not only is the egg used as the maker of a good omelet, it is often used as a way to understand the difficult doctrine of the Triune God, or Trinity. It is an attempt to wrap our minds around an idea that really makes no sense. Let's break this egg idea down a bit. The egg yolk, sitting comfortably within the egg white surrounded securely by the hard shell makes an egg. It is said that this is like the Trinity because it is three parts, yet still one egg. This unfortunately breaks down, and therefore goes to prove that the idea of three in one is not a possibility. If there is a shell lying on the counter, left over from using both the yolk and the egg white to make a batch of cookies, would one look at that shell and refer to it as an egg? I don't think so. It is merely a shell, a part from both the yolk and the egg white it is not an egg at all, it is just a shell. The same is true with each of the three parts, apart from one another they are no longer an egg. How can it be then that Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father are all one God when they are all separate entities? Jesus prays to the Father. Jesus is subject to the Fathers will. The Bible tells us the Holy Spirit pleads on our behalf to the Father. It is impossible, therefore, for three clearly separate beings to be one single God. Just as a shell apart from the yolk and the white is not an egg, it is merely a shell. I conjecture, therefore, that the monotheistic viewpoint of Christianity is simply impossible. Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father are separate gods with separate character traits and responsibilities.
Apart from the clear illogic of a triune God let's look at the contextual argument as well. It is a well known accepted fact that this word "Trinity" appears nowhere in the Bible. If the doctrine of the Trinity is so important to the Christian faith then why doesn't God come out and speak about it directly? Why doesn't he ever use the word Trinity or explain the concept of a triune God explicitly. I understand the theory can be cobbled together from various verses plucked from obscure and otherwise unrelated passages within the Bible, but such a seemingly important doctrine shouldn't need such a wild goose chase. The doctrine of Grace is made abundantly clear as are the doctrines of original sin, the fallen-ness of man and many others I could continue to list. These are all clearly important doctrines and are made abundantly clear. Yet, the Trinity is suspiciously not. Thus, either God does not ultimately place the same importance on this doctrine as he does the others, or his explanations are simply arbitrary; either God doesn't care about the doctrine of the trinity, or the scripture is not actually divinely inspired.
