60 Christianity – A Journey from Facts to Fiction The ‘official position’ of most churches is very clear and well defined, claiming that each of the three entities of God’s person- age had a distinctly separate personage ‘of its’ own. So it is not just ‘Three in One’, but rather it is three persons in one person. The bitter encounter of Jesus as with death and all its fateful conse- quences must have been equally shared by the Holy Ghost. So also, he should have been included in the sacrifice along with Jesus as. Again, he must have suffered hell in the company of Jesus as and God the Father. If not, then one cannot escape drawing the inevitable conclusion that not only were they three distinct and different persons, but also their emotions and faculties relating to head and heart must have been different, separate and insulated from those of each other. In trying to take further our vision of the Trinity we should attempt to visualize the fact of three persons merging together, or existing as merged together eternally as one. So far we have failed to see how they could have merged in their emotions and thought processes. The only option left, therefore, is a merger in the body. It re- minds us on a different scale of a hydra-headed monster, men- tioned in the Greek mythology, which possessed many heads that grew again when cut off. Of course, man cannot understand the true nature of God and how His attributes function, but it is very easy and simple to believe in one single entity without specific areas to which certain functions are attributed and confined, like head, heart and kidneys etc. But the scenario of separate individ- ual thoughts and feelings is certainly at variance with the afore- mentioned scenario of a single entity. It creates an image of God
