Trying to understand the Holy Trinity by using conventional values is likely to make an individual even more confused about the concept.
Another divisive topic regarding the Trinity regards the idea that Christianity is a monotheistic religious ideology and yet promotes the idea that there are three distinct bodies governing over the world.

Salvation will come based on one's deeds rather than on his capacity to achieve a high spiritual level, as in the Hindu faith and others. Christianity does not necessarily provide all the answers. Christian believers will still have doubts about their existence, about their role on Earth and about their lives, as well as about their capacity of attaining salvation.

The efforts for integrating psychology with Christianity developed more energy in the last twenty years since the time when Jay
