Most Holy Trinity, Father Son, Holy Spirit . . . have mercy on us.
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain.
Similarly, on an earlier occasion Jesus had said: “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son.” (Luke 10:22) Once again, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is a conscious part of the “Godhead,” coequal with the Father and the Son, why does it not know?
More than 20 years after Jesus died and ascended to heaven, the apostle Paul wrote: “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord [the Father] so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16) How is it possible to have “the mind of Christ” and yet not know “the mind of the Lord”-if the Father and the Son are coequal? This doctrine was unknown to the Hebrew prophets and Christian apostles.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, p. 306) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament].” It also admits that the doctrine must be dated as from about three hundred and fifty years after the death of Jesus Christ. So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.”
When Jesus was on earth he certainly was not equal to his Father, for he said there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Furthermore, he prayed to his Father for help when undergoing trial. (Luke 22:41, 42) Also, he himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Because of this, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”-John 20:17; 17:3.
Thank you Father Chris for the greatest explanation of the Trinity that I have ever heard. God Bless you!
Thank you so much Judith for joining us. We are glad you are here, God bless you!

@@teresitagarcia6067 Thank you for watching and God bless you
Your talks are so awesome. I’m not even Catholic but you have really helped me to deepen my understanding and appreciation for God, the church and the faith. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
That's awesome PP.... prayers for you on your faith journey! God bless you
So you are a protestant bowing to the harlot Catholic church by professing her central doctrine not funded on Scripture.
Thank you father for this excellent explanation! The world needs more priests like you.
Thank you for watching and God bless you
Thank you for enlightening us on the gems of our Catholic faith.
THANK YOU FATHER. MORE LEARNING OF OUR FAITH GOD BLESS ALL. AMEN.
Father Chris, your teachings and explanations are so easy to understand but same time deep&complex !
I enjoy your teachings and videos! I am happy that I found this channel! Watching it all the time
BEST REGARDS FROM C R O A T I A !!!
Wow, Croatia! My ancestors came from there and my relatives are still there. Please keep strong in the faith and God bless you all in Croatia!
@@DivineMercy_Official Oh really??? :-) Where from exactly? :-) We are trying father, it is still about 80-90 percent people here that declare themselves as catholic here, but the churches are far from full every day :-(
Remember us Father Chris in your prayers
and God bless you too, your family and everybody at National Shrine!
This is one of my favorite videos ❤thank you so much Fr. Chris Alar and God bless you always ! 🙏🏼😇
Thank you father❤ this is an old video but I’m re watching it because I have to remind myself again what the trinity means. Thank you 🙏
Thank you. However, the message is timeless
It doesn't matter how many times you watch this video, it will never make sense. There is only one God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the 2nd time I watched this video with a notebook and a pen. Thank you, Fr. Chris. God bless you. I am learning more and as my knowledge of God increases my love for Him increases, too. "You can't love what you don't know" is always in my mind. Thank you. God bless your Mom and thank her on my behalf for giving birth of you and for giving you to God and to us.
Thank you so much Mona.... Yes, I am in Michigan now with my mom and she thanks you and all for prayers for her. God bless!
Fr. Chris, Thanks always for Saturday talks. Good to hear that you are going to visit your parents. I will keep pray for your mom in MI. Have a safe trip.
God bless AH and thank you for joining us....and thank you for the prayers :)

Father Chris Alar you have full of Wisdom and Truth, thank you so much Lord for that Wisdom♥️very enlightening to us!God bless You all Marian Fathers🙏❤️🌹
thank you Father Chris for taking the trouble of explaining the Trinity to us
Fr. Chris, you are heaven sent to me and to a lot of Catholics out there around the world. I've long been wanting to have this kind of catechism class that would really explain the gray, mysterious, and controversial areas in the teachings of the Church. Your choice of topics would manifest that the Holy Trinity is with you; the topics are truly the ones we need to understand fully and remain faithful to our faith. So far, I've watched already six of your videos just this last week of April 2021 here in the Philippines and couldn't wait for more. May God bless you and keep you safe Fr. Chris and the entire MIC.
Thank you Father Chris for all of your teaching. This is SO AWESOME! YOU MAKE EVERYTHING, SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND SO MEANINGFUL!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Thank you Michelle and we appreciate you watching. Keeping you in prayer. God bless.
Nice one, actually I lost a co worker and feeling depressed, just looking for someone to talk to .
Thank you Father Chris for your expert teaching on the Trinity. I am looking forward to next week to learn more about the Holy Spirit!
Thank you Eva, we look forward to seeing you then! God bless.
I am nearing 80 . I have never heard anything like this about the Holy Trinity. A million thanks for your efforts. May GOD bless you. Thank you once again.
Thank you Abraham for taking the time to watch and God bless you
@@DivineMercy_Official Your explanation differs from bible. You did not site any verse to support your story. It is very clear in the bible that Lord God is only one God who is our father. There are so many verses that God is the father of Jesus and not the family of Jesus or a group where Jesus is a member. It is also clear in the bible that Jesus is our brother because we are the children of God.
John 20:17
[17]Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Huwag mo akong hipuin; sapagka't hindi pa ako nakakaakyat sa Ama, nguni't pumaroon ka sa aking mga kapatid, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Aakyat ako sa aking Ama at inyong Ama, at aking Dios at inyong Dios.
@ADD DATI thank you but you didn't understand what was taught here. What was stated here is dogmatic Revelation by God. God bless.
@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you, another thing, I believe God is plural, because he has many spirits, 7 spirits, maybe including the power of God, which is the Holy Spirit. Luc 1:35, not only three. Jesus was chosen as the most special person. All of us are sons of God. Jesus was glorified to be worshipped not as God but as His Son. Just to clarify my understanding. For INC Holy Ghost is the power of God.
@@AddDati thank you and God bless you but that is not the view of Christianity.
Thank you fr Chris
Thank you Rita and God bless you

God bless you and all in Kenya
Dear Fr Chris,
We are all wholeheartedly grateful to be witnesses of God's Divine Mercy radiating from your whole being and blessing us with virtuous teachings.
Your mum and family are in my Living in the Divine Will daily prayer and rosary.
May God bless and protect you, everyone at the Shrine and all of our sisters and brothers worldwide always.
From England, I wish you all well 🙏🕊💒
Thank you Julian and God bless you and all in England.
Okay, Father Chris, I will ask people on chat to like video for the morning Mass!
Thank you so much, Patti, that would be awesome and greatly appreciated :) God bless!
This is such a great teaching. I woke wanting to learn more on the Holy Trinity today and this was perfect. "The Trinity is the mystery of WHO God is."
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain.

Thank you Fr. Chris Alar, your explanation is very clear, we’ll needed to relive n refresh our catechism✝️🙏
Nice to have you with us Lucy! God bless you!
Nice one, actually I lost a co worker and feeling depressed, just looking for someone to talk to .
I have also heard it as the Spirit provides the thought, the Father makes the decision and the Son carries out the decision. I think I like Fr. Chris's explanation...
God bless you Fr Alar! I love your talks... they are so informative. Thank you for all you do
Thank you Father Chris Alar I am learning a lot! 🙏
I’m sooo grateful Father Chris. You are soooo AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Profoundly inspiring! Thank you and God bless you Fr. Chris.
Thank you fr Chris Alar 🙏 for all the knowledge about God more and we will be deep in our God's love to know 🙏 may you be always strong to bring more souls close to God from Bombay.
This has never ceased as a controversial topic of our religion. Such an enriching topic. Thank you, Father Chris.
The mystery of our Faith.
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”?

@@alexshatner3907 they will say that when Jesus came in human from he shed God nature and knowledge- that's why we find him being taught by his Father. Surely then a different mind is a different person.
thank you from Zimbabwe
God bless you Gael and all in Zimbabwe.

Nice one, actually I lost a co worker and feeling depressed, just looking for someone to talk to .
Fr. Chris and everybody involved in the presentation of this “Explaining the Faith” video-talk series on you tube and other social media, THANK YOU again for all that you do for us, the laity!!!
PLEASE, include in your prayers TRISTAN HICKEN, my 14-Yr old grandson (turns 15-Yr old in September, 2022) He was “baptized” in a non-Catholic Christian church when he was 7 or 8 yrs old and recently told me his willingness to learn more about the Catholic faith (I brought him a few times to mass during my previous visits with them). For sure, he still have questions about why he could not receive our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.
I’ve been praying for his conversion (among many others) and this is a big step! I sent him a video of one of these “Explaining the Faith” video-talk series as a start. So hard to decide which one to send him first and I decided to send him the one to understand who Jesus is… then about the Trinity. We plan on meeting to discuss any of his questions. (I recently moved closer to them).
I’ll be calling several churches around here and figure out the best way for him to “officially” learn about our Catholic Faith so that he’d be accepted or baptized as Catholic (I am not sure what type of baptism he received. I heard there are some non-denominational churches whose baptisms are not valid so I have concerns about his baptism).
He really needs your prayers and I’ll forever be indebted to your kindness if you prayed for him. Please!
Again, thank you for this education that you are giving us, Fr Chris. God bless you and your “crew.”🙏❤️🙏
At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”?
