Difficulties in Understanding: link fix
The following folk story illustrates the difficulties in understanding the Trinity.
: ''It has been said that when the church father [[Augustine of Hippo|Augustine]] wrote a treatise about the Trinity he encountered a little boy walking along the seaside. The boy appeared to be scooping water from the sea in a little basin at the beach and Augustine asked him what he was doing. The boy answered: "I want to sccop the sea in my pond," to whicch Augustine responded: "You will never succeed." But the boy replied: "I'm doing the same thing as you: You want to understand the mystery of the triune God with your human mind."''
The teaching of the Trinity was clearly articulated in the [[Nicene Creed]] of [[325 AD]].
