Subject: Does this explain Trinity? |
Bible Note: The Trinity is indeed a biblical doctrine, and is attested to and developed throughout the entire Old and New Testaments. The proper formulation of the Trinity is that there is one God; the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Spirit is God; however, the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit, and the Spirit is not the Father. An excellent introductory work on the subject of the Trinity is _The Forgotten Trinity_, by James R. White. It covers a good deal of the biblical basis of this theological truth, and also traces the history of how it became codified in church councils as how God reveals himself in Scripture. Just as a follow-up question, according to Genesis 1:1, John 1:3, and Colossians 1 and Hebrews 1, who is the creator, God or Christ? I would be interested in hearing how a non-Trinitarian viewpoint addresses these passages. Thanks! |
