Just to start another disscusion, how do you explain the Trinity. And how do show that there is a Trinity

The unity of GOD.

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our GOD is one LORD"

The Word "one" means united.

1 X 1 X 1 = 1

 Ever hear the word Elohim? That's the Hebrew word used for God in the Bible. It means Three in One.

The Trinity used to alway confuse me. A good way to explain how it all works is with an egg. If you have one egg you have the shell, yolk, and the white. It's still one egg, but it's in three parts and if you're missing one of those parts you don't have a whole egg anymore. All together the three make one.
 

I believe along the lines of Mr. Istvan.

That's a good explanation! (And a true one!)

In Matthew, during Jesus' baptism, God speaks and the Holy Spirit descends. All three are witnessed at one time.

And in 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

It's funny that this subject came up today. I am rereading The Case for Christ and I came across the section this morning where Lee Strobel raises this very question.

For me, one of the clearest passages on the trinity is in Isaiah:

"For to us a child is born to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  (Isaiah 9:6 ESV)

This is what the Second London Baptist Confession says: 

Chapter 2: Of God, and of the Holy Trinity

2:1 There is but one only (Deu_6:4; 1Co_8:4, 1Co_8:6) living, and true God (Jer_10:10; 1Th_1:9): who is infinite in being and perfection (Job_11:7-9, Job_26:14), a most pure spirit (Joh_4:24), invisible (1Ti_1:17), without body, parts (Deu_4:15, Deu_4:16; Luk_24:39; Joh_4:24), or passions (Act_14:11, Act_14:15), immutable (Mal_3:6; Jam_1:17), immense (1Ki_8:27; Jer_23:23, Jer_23:24), eternal (Psa_90:2; 1Ti_1:17), incomprehensible (Psa_145:3), almighty (Gen_17:1; Rev_4:8), most wise (Rom_16:27), most holy (Isa_6:3; Rev_4:8), most free (Psa_115:3), most absolute (Exo_3:14), working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will (Eph_1:11), for His own glory (Pro_16:4; Rom_11:36); most loving (1Jo_4:8, 1Jo_4:16), gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin (Exo_34:6, Exo_34:7); the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Heb_11:6); and with all most just and terrible in His judgments (Neh_9:32, Neh_9:33), hating all sin (Psa_5:5, Psa_5:6), and who will by no means clear the guilty (Exo_34:7; Nah_1:2, Nah_1:3).

2:2 God hath all life (Joh_5:26), glory (Act_7:2), goodness (Psa_119:68), blessedness (Rom_9:5; 1Ti_6:15), in and of Himself; and is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which He hath made (Act_17:24, Act_17:25), not deriving any glory from them (Job_22:2, Job_22:23), but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them: He is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things (Rom_11:36); and hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever Himself pleaseth (Dan_4:25, Dan_4:35; 1Ti_6:15; Rev_4:11). In His sight all things are open and manifest (Heb_4:13); His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature (Psa_147:5; Rom_11:33, Rom_11:34), so as nothing is to Him contingent, or uncertain (Eze_11:5; Act_15:18). He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works, and in all his commands Psa_145:17; Rom_7:12). To Him is due from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience he is pleased to require of them (Rev_5:12-14).

2:3 In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost (Mat_3:16, Mat_3:17; Mat_28:19; 2Co_13:14; 1Jo_5:7). The Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding: the Son is eternally begotten of the Father: the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son (Joh_1:14, Joh_1:18).

Istvan:

1 X 1 X 1 = 1

That is a good explanation!

I already knew about the the passage where Jesus is getting baptised and where the Holy Spirit comes down in the form of a dove and the Father speaks. Just wanted to know about some other good passages.

Thanks for all the other passages!

"The Case for Christ"  good book, I highly recommend it.

I'll look into it!
