Subject: Trinity? |
Bible Note: 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 |
