ST. AUGUSTINE ON THE CONCEPT OF THE TRINITY

The Researcher's aim is to know or understand the concept God as three “Persons” is a mystery as St. Augustine understood through his transitions from Manicheanism to Christianity. How can a man with finite understanding, and further his understanding has been blurred by the fall know God or understand God. Many have tried to explain Trinity as water, steam and ice since the base composition is H2O. A few others have explained looking at egg. Trinity has always been a mystery. Many have erred into heresy and have landed up as Modalism or Sabellism, Pentecostalism or Arianism etc. And yet if we reflect on it, we can see also that it is the way that God has been revealed to us, as Father or Creator; as the so, Jesus; and as the Holy Spirit or the Advocate. It' also clear that of the fundamental attributes of the Trinity is that it is about relationship between those three, and with us. Augustine always struggled with the concept of Trinity. It was another complexity that he faced with apart from good and evil. He was a man who pursued till he got a clear answer for his complex issues of understanding of various topics.
