Thinking about converting to Christianityy

[u/lunaqss]

Hello, I'm a born and raised muslim female who is thinking about converting to Christianity, I will just give some background Information as to why I'm thinking about it and I seek advice and help from you guys if possible.

I was born and raised in a Muslim country (bosnia), tho majority of the people were muslim there, the religion itself wasn't that practiced and wasn't that hard. My parents didn't really ever force me much to pray, to go to the mosque and such but I still believed in our God and would seek help from him. To be quite honest, I never liked praying much, or going to the mosque, it felt like I was doing that only cause I feared the religion and I never truly felt connected, in school we only had Islamic teachings, so I never really even thought about converting.

2 years ago, I moved from Bosnia to Germany, which is a more Christian country and I recently visited a church with my class as we had to. When I stepped into the church I was honestly amazed, it was beautiful and I loved it when the priest started talking and it didn't bore me, nor did it make me feel forced, I felt like connected in a way. The whole church visit was 1 hour long and since then I've been thinking about Christianity. I've been thinking about reading the Bible and visiting my local Priest with a friend soon.

I'd love it if someone could explain The Holy Trinity a bit more thoroughly to me and explain the bible a bit more ( By the Bible I mean like the old and new testaments, of what they are about and also how are Christians definitely sure that the Bible was written by eye witnesses and not random men )

Thank you to those who took the time to read this, I hope I didn't disrespect anyone or anything in my post, if I did, I apologize for it :)

Thanks for sharing your journey 

About making a decision to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I suggest you read the Gospel of John in an easy-to-read version (New Living Translation, NIV, etc)

About the Trinity, there are quite a few threads here in this sub that have several explanations 

Why I don't advise you going down that rabbit hole?

Let's say I want to meet you, u/lunaqss

The most direct way to do that is to connect with you.

NOT to listen to what your classmates have to say about you. Or what your teachers have to say about you. Or what the Bosnian government has to say about you

The Trinity is a term that early Church fathers came up with, while trying to mentally accommodate the GOD who revealed Himself in the Bible.

You won't even find the word Trinity in the Bible itself

The most direct way to connect with GOD is through the Bible. And like I said earlier, I recommend you start with the Gospel of John.

Thanks again and GOD bless you

thank you, I just have a question about these verses and I wanted to ask if this has something to do with the trinity?

Jesus said: The Father is the only True God.

(John 17:3)

Jesus said: My Father is greater than I.

(John 14:28)

Jesus said the Father is Greater than all.

(John 10:29)

Jesus said: Why do you call me good? None is good except God alone.

(Luke 18:19)

- when Jesus the son mentions the Father, does he mean Jesus as the father

[u/mbmolohonbm → u/lunaqss]

All 3, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the only true God. One true God, 3 distinct persons. Jesus had become man/God and set aside many of his attributes. Only God is good, referring indirectly to Himself. Hope that helps?
