Subject: TRINITY |
Bible Note: The Trinity is expressed clearly in Scripture in the following way: 1. There is one God; 2. He eternally exists in three distinct persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), all exhibiting the characteristics and attributes of deity; 3. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit, and the Spirit is not the Father. If you want an excellent intro to the doctrine of the Trinity, I recommend James R. White's _The Forgotten Trinity_. It is very easy to read and is replete with the key passages of Scripture which reveal this Biblical truth. One thing I would like to add to the first answer is that the Deity and personality of the Holy Spirit is key to the doctrine of the Trinity as well. Hope this helps! |
