Bible Question: I went to church every week as a child. However, I just recently returned to the church as an adult. I find myself baffled with questions I never considered as a child. As a child, I do not remember hearing the concept of trinity. I just really do not understand it. If God and Jesus were one-why does it say Jesus prayed to his father? Do some christians believe that they are seperate-a father and a son? |
Bible Answer: theowerys, I echo what Doc said regarding the Trinity. The "term" may not be in scripture but the doctrine is clearly taught. The Council at Nicea dealt at length with this point. (the Athanasian Creed takes this further and develops it more clearly) It is something that is beyond our full comprehension- something I believe could only come from God! Paul Karleen, in his Handbook to Bible Study notes, "One of the hardest doctrines of the Bible to grasp is the teaching that God is three Persons and yet one God—the Trinity. One reason the Trinity is difficult to understand is that it is not something we have any analogy for in our existence. It is found only in the Bible." I hope this helps, BradK |
