early in Genesis GOd is saying that Adam should be expelled from the garden
"lest he taste of the fruit of the tree of life and become as one of us"...

who was he talking to?

and Muslims while they respect Christians as "people of the Book" also despise us a tritheists

with some justification; Islam certainly seems more monotheistic than CHristianity

and the trinity is unbiblical and hard to explain let alone defend
although people will go to vehement extremes to support their dogma
He was talking to Jesus and the Holy Spirirt of course. And the Trinity is necessary because a God is love in Himself. That's only possible because His three seperate aspects love each other. How would an alone, unfeeling god come up with an emotion like that? No, the origin is in the unity of this being who is three seperate aspects in one.

And God shouldn't be completely understood. The mystery is part of what shows us that He is higher then us.
Read Mere Christianity or the Shack though, and I think you'll begin to see why the Trinity is necessary, good and biblical, unless you're trying not to get it.


i enjoy and appreciate CS Lewis and have read most of his works.

but he did see himself as an apologist for the established church of England, and so he could not stray too far away from the accepted dogma.

if you read his Space Trilogy, you see a pantheon of lesser deities, and some hints of a great God-above-all-gods, and possibly also a Son, but i see there neither monotheism nor a hint of the Holy Spirit.
