My head hurts...

A couple days ago I wrote about Sasquatch and UFOs.  It made my head hurt. 

Now my head hurts again because I just had another thought.

Fundamental Christianity believes that God is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  These three are individual aspects of God, yet they all make up God.  To some people this is difficult to accept and understand.  How can God be 3 beings and yet be One being?  For some people just taking this in faith is enough.  For others they can't wrap their brains around it.  It came to me a simple way to explain this and it would easy to understand in this context. 

The United States government is composed of 3 separate branches.  They are distinct in their duties and responsibilities and yet all 3 are needed to compose the Government.  We have the legislative branch which is responsible for passing laws and the spending of the money (regardless of how bad or good we think they do their job).  The executive branch is the branch responsible for enforcing the laws and the judicial branch which is the branch responsible for interpreting the laws to make sure they do not violate the Constitution of the United States.  Now if we didn't have one of those branches, the government would not work.

So that's a simple way of explaining the Trinity of God.  We have a trinity Government.   Granted that is a simplification of both God and the United States Government, but in my mind, it works.
