>>17623077the concept of the trinity is based in the fact that jesus had a habit of referencing the old testament (somewhat subtly to our ears today, but to a jew that studies the old testament it is obvious) in his speech. i think one of the big hints at jesus being god is when he says, "before blah blah blah I AM", which is, in theory, a direct reference to yahweh wanting to be called "I AM" back when moses asked what his name was. in this way jesus is calling himself God. the trinity as a concept is the christian's way of explaining exactly how much of God jesus is.
as for the makeup of the trinity itself, that differs between denominations. orthobros believe that it both jesus and the holy spirit eminate from the father (God), wheras cuckolics believe that the father AND jesus make the holy spirit together, as in the image above.
if you ask me, the main issue with mainstream christianity is that most of the actual church doctrine is based on paul's epistles, which are an extrapolation of jesus's teachings, rather than being based solely in the gospels themselves. i wrote a whole autistic rant on /x/ about it if you even care (it shouldnt be hard to find, that board is deader than a nigger baby) which summarizes my issues with the faith. if any christcuck wants to debate that with me you're welcome to
