mein festes Fundament

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

The Trinity is logical in the right light.
This example doesn't fit: "Yesterday I was with Chuck, I am Chuck" - Big problem.
The right example would be: "Yesterday I was with human, I am human." - No problem here!

Same with the Word: It was with God (the father) and is God (the son). The father was already before time started, so even this works. Maybe the beginning started with the son and then they created everything ...

Even today: When people say God then they usually mean the father, otherwise they say Jesus or Holy Spirit.
But since I am born of a human, I am human. Jesus was born of God, so he is God.

Still not everything is understandable for a human mind - but this one is simple.

Same with being one: John 10:30 "I and the Father are one.”

They are not one and the same obviously (Jesus is the son of the father!)

The word "one" is used as well in John 17:20-23 when Jesus prays for us:

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,

that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—

I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."

All Christians are supposed to be one as Jesus is one with the father.
We are all not the same, but we should be one, when others see us.
