Can a christian explain the trinity to me? I mine Christianity is very confusing and contradicting, but this is the biggest for me. Is he god? If he is how could "god" die on the cross to save our sins? Does that mean if you believe in god,jesus,mary,the pope, or whatever even if you sin you free. from it? I would like to hear from a christian please, so i could here there side.
the true name of God is never revealed. We're not supposed to know it.
Not true. Multiple versions of the bible name him as Yahweh, Jehovah, ect. Names were taken out by the Catholic/Vatican for a reason unknown to me, these are replaced by Lord, God, ect.
As for the Trinity, why did Jesus refer repeatedly to God as "Father"? Also, why did God send "his" holy spirit to help people? If they are all equal, is there any reason for this? God himself should not be a Father to Jesus, or claim ownership to holy spirit if they are the same.
Yes, yes I know, they are different but are connected spiritually, blah, blah, blah. But I have been told by many religious people that the Trinity said God is three parts of the same being. So, contradicting much?
Honestly, I take the word of the Catholic Church very lightly. Don't trust the high order, don't trust the Vatican, and I believe too many people put their faith in them and what they say, which gives them a considerable amount of power.
And the one that might be a bit hard to answer: What is the point of the Trinity? Why have three parts? Wouldn't it be easier to come down saying you were god and preaching amoung the humans and just using your power to help people instead of a holy spirit? Or is this just a way for the Church to keep people complacent and make it seem like it's too big for "commoners" to understand, with the priests and pastors "holier-than-thou" attitude?

The development of the trinity was likely an attempt to reconcile the often contradictory behaviors of what was perceived as a single being.
