Brothers : The Holy Spirit and Jesus| Next | Previous | Contact Ron | Ron's Blog | Index | Tellout Home |
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, like the three separate states of water have quite particular qualities but are still essentially the same. The three name Trinity is like a family. A person can be a father, a son and a husband at the same time. Similarly a woman may be a mother, a daughter and a wife. These descriptive words depict the role of one person in relationship to others. In the same way the names, "God the Father," "God the Son" and "God the Holy Spirit," may be used to define the separate and quite distinctive roles of the three persons of the Godhead.
The threefold name is often misunderstood, sometimes with amusing consequences. The Vicar's small daughter was seen burying a dead bird in the garden: "In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and into the hole he goes. Amen."1
