Trinity

The Trinity is the central dogma of every Christian religion. Catholics believe the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit make up one God. “The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are co-eternal and co-equal” (page 1 St. Athanasius). “Each are distinct Persons, each Person is fully God, and there is only one God” (page 1 Matt Perrman). Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirt.” When…

Introduction I will argue that Keith Johnson’s defense against a periochoretic reflection of the Holy Trinity reflects an incomplete ecclesiology because it presupposes an individualized perspective on faith, based on the communal nature of the Church, in light of Miraslov Volf’s interpretation of the periochoresis of the Trinity being reflected in the Church. Periochoresis Individualistic Faith The biblical understanding of “unity in faith” within the church is fighting a battle with an…

The Trinity doctrine is the foundation for the Christian faith. Like God, it is crucial to understand exactly how he relates to us and how it relates to him. But it increases the most complex questions. How will God be two and three? Trinity is a contradiction? If Jesus is God, why would he record the Gospel records of God's prayer? Although we can not fully understand the Trinity, we can answer these questions and come to the solid understanding of what it means to be three. One God, Three…

The Trinity is something discussed in evangelical churches several times, and tends to be a confusing topic for non-believers. The Trinity is described in multiple ways in Scripture, but the Trinity stands for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14 says, “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (ESV). The Father is God, the Son is God and man, and the Spirit is God as well as a person not a force. It is…

Christians trust and believe the principles of the Trinity Doctrine, nonetheless they place the highest focus on only two parts, God and Jesus Christ. They live a Christian life that is crippled and incapable of reaching its full potential of God’s promised spiritual renewal. Churches teach the doctrine of the Godhead (God, Son, and Spirit), but mistakenly place highest emphasis on God and Jesus Christ. Churches give little instruction on the dynamics of the golden seal of the Holy Spirit. The…

The rudimentary idea of the Trinity is found within the New Testament, but there is stark contrast when the conception of God in the Old Testament comes into view. The early church wrestled with whether God is one or three. Their answer is that God is triune— one substance, three persons. Since then, the church catholic continually affirms and reflects on this doctrine to understand God. Statements on the Trinity can become confusing when people begin to explain it, easily falling into God being…

atheist who taught that Christians were deluded and the pinnacle of this absurdity was the doctrine of the trinity. He could not understand how God could be three people and one person at the same time. Through his studies McGrath began to explore his faith and after many years was finally able to make sense of the doctrine of the trinity. McGrath had feared that the doctrine of the Trinity would confuse him but instead it brought him an overwhelming sense of clarity. He came to the conclusion…

-Excerpts from a prayer of Bl. Elizebeth of the Trinity, composed in November 1904 Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, in her prayer, penetrated the deepest truths of Sacred Theology. In this specific excerpt she is honoring the revealed mystery of the trinity, by stating the titles of three persons of God and how we as human beings are ordained to God through the Trinity. The beautiful mystery of the Trinity hits every point in the given definition of Sacred Theology. One could…

intervention through the Son can reunite us with God. To understand the fallen condition of man, it is first necessary to understand the importance of the Trinity and the purpose of God’s creation. To claim belief in the trinity means to claim that “there is only one God, the almighty Father, his only Son and the Holy Spirit: the Most Holy Trinity.” As a necessarily perfect being, it follows that God is perfect unity…

define who He is to His children and each one of those attributes relates differently to everyone. He is usually referred to as the Trinity, due to the three main ways He interacts with His creation. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. In the Bible there actually isn’t even the term trinity, but it is however implied. Tim Case describes the trinity as follows, “There is only One True God, eternally self-existent, revealed in three distinct divine persons, The Father, The Son –…
