According to Barth, the Doctrine of Trinity states that the “God in Himself is eternally God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit” and he cannot be judged for his work and activity.

The father although sees their qualities as equal, also realizes that the are not the same person, but still wants them to know that they do belong to the same household and the same father. (pg. 105) What this emphasizes is the fact that, “ love existed before any rejection was possible and that will still be there after all rejections have taken place.” The father (God) doesn’t…

accomplished, and what the effects are of that in the world today. Athanasius makes an in depth case for Christ being fully God and fully man. He boldly argues for it, responding to the Jews, Gentiles, and heretics of the day. What is not as overtly emphasized, but equally important, is the role of the Trinity.
