Although one in essence, He exists in three distinct, equal Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (trinity). Two examples in nature illustrate how one entity can exist in multiple forms. 1. Light appears in nature as a wave, a particle, and a visible spectrum. 2. Water is one its molecular essence (H2O), yet exists as steam, water, and ice. The God of the Bible, however, is beyond any natural analogy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lewis,\u00a0<em>God in the Dock<\/em>, 80.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lewis,\u00a0<em>Mere Christianity<\/em>, 52.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":16,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-277","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry"},"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/author\/mary\/","display_name":"mary"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 8 years ago","modified":"Updated 6 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on December 30, 2017","modified":"Updated on December 17, 2025"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on December 30, 2017 9:05 pm","modified":"Updated on December 17, 2025 5:04 am"},"featured_img_caption":"","featured_img":false,"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1539,"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/277\/revisions\/1539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/y-jesus.org\/polish\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
