2 | Trinity? | Matt 28:19 | Hank | 189436 | ||
UncleCnn: Thanks for your question on the Triunity (Trinity). What follows is a succinct glossary entry on the Trionity taken from "The Believer's Study Bible," Thomas Nelson, Publishers: "Triunity (Trinity). The distinctive and essential Christian doctrine that there is one God in three Persons. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. There is a distinction between the Persons so that the Father is not the Son, the Father is not the Spirit, and the Son is not the Spirit. Each is a Person. The Holy Spirit is not to be envisioned as a mere force or influence." ...... In Matthew 3:16,17, the Trinity is clearly evident at the baptism of Jesus. --Hank | ||||||

Greetings, This is more of a follow up on what Hank has listed here. Some added thoughts as it were. The term "trinity" is not found in the Bible, however, the doctrine is clearly found. Above was mentioned the baptism of Jesus. In this event, you clearly see the all three .. persons (for lack of a better term) of the Godhead. Those who don't believe in the Tri-une Godhead will say that God conveniently chose to appear as three different forms during this event, and that he could have appeared as any number of persons. However, one thing that must be asked is why would God appear as three separate persons, especially at this event, if he is only one God? Why didn't God simply appear before Jesus in a white light or the like? Something else to ask, if there is no tri-une Godhead, then how can Jesus be God while here on earth and pray to God at the same time, calling God "Father"? If you remove the Doctrine of the Tri-une Godhead from the equasion, what you have is a classic case of either multiple personalities or schizophrenia(sp). Then you have the declaration in Genesis 1 where God says "Let us create man in our own image .." "Us"? "Our?" If God isn't Tri-une then who is he talking to? Angels? Why would he make man in the image of angels when being in the Image of God is superior? Also, the context of the passage doesn't mention the mere slightest hint of angels. In fact, the first angel mensioned in the book is with Abraham. So .. that leave's God talking to himself. Again, with out the doctrine of the Tri-une Godhead, God is either talking to himself or needs to see a psychiatrist. There are too many events in the Bible and too many questions that can be raised if you remove the doctrine of the Tri-une Godhead. The only way these passages make any sense is with the Doctrine of the Tri-une Godhead. Jesus Loves you! Jesusman |

Dear Jesusman - How nice to have you back after an absence of more than a year. Don't stay away so long, please. We miss you! ..... Nice post, too. The idea you offered of God needing a psychiatrist if the doctrine of His triunity is bogus -- which, we agree, it isn't -- is a humorous and imaginative way to illustrate the sine qua non of the doctrine of the Trinity. And indeed, as you are careful to point out, there really are no other doctrines but the triunity of God that square with Scripture. Thanks for your post and, again, welcome back. --Hank | ||||||
