Subject: Explain Trinity Father Son, Holy Ghost |
Bible Note: Dear Halroy, Welcome to the forum! In our efforts to describe the triune nature of our God, we need to be careful to steer clear of Modalism, and other heresies. Still and all, there is really no better definition in the hands of the believers than that expressed by Athanasius in the fourth century, and formally stated in the Nicaean Creed: "We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father, that is, of the substance [ek tes ousias] of the Father, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten not made, of the same substance with the Father [homoousion to patri], through whom all things were made both in heaven and on earth; who for us men and our salvation descended, was incarnate, and was made man, suffered and rose again the third day, ascended into heaven and cometh to judge the living and the dead. And in the Holy Ghost. Those who say: There was a time when He was not, and He was not before He was begotten; and that He was made our of nothing (ex ouk onton); or who maintain that He is of another hypostasis or another substance [than the Father], or that the Son of God is created, or mutable, or subject to change, [them] the Catholic Church anathematizes." Augustine, addressing this doctrine directly, asserted that each person of the Trinity is fully divine, each is unique to itself, and each is within the other, in perpetual intercommunication and motion, coequal and coeternal. We might further add that they are self-existing, perfectly and fully sufficient unto themselves, and rejoicing in and loving one another. In Him, Doc |
