Question
Please explain clearly and in-depthly the doctrine of the "Holy Trinity".. On how God the Father and Christ are one.. How they are One yet each person is distinct. Do they fuse together as one God? How can they be One? who is the Holy Spirit? does the third person of the holy trinity have will and intellect? why is the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove?
Can the Holy Spirit take the form of a man? Can God possibly do everything thinkable and unthinkable as he pleases? Does god do as he please?  

Answer
Dear Ace,

I cannot explain how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one. I understand this but it is an intuition, an inner understanding that I cannot explain through words.

The Holy Spirit have will and intellect; the Holy Spirit was rapresented by the image of the dove, but does not mean that the Holy Spirit has the form of a dove. The Holy Spirit has no shape; think about your own thoughts or feelings; they have no shape. Your inner self has no shape.

I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of  God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments  the following site

http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html

where  I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics  prove that the   brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies  the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you  can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of  the  typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to  visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.

I hope this may help,

please ask again if you should need some clarifications,

Your brother in Christ,

Marco
