Bible Question: What is the trinity? (please explain in detail) |
Bible Answer: Hello BabyBear, Welcome to the Forum. I could probably confuse you all day long if I tried to explain the mystery of the trinity in detail. But I wanted to give you something while your waiting on a more capable member to answer. "Theological term used to define God as an undivided unity expressed in the threefold nature of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As a distinctive Christian doctrine, the Trinity is considered as a divine mystery beyond human comprehension to be reflected upon only through scriptural revelation. The Trinity is a biblical concept that expresses the dynamic character of God, not a Greek idea pressed into Scripture from philosophical or religious speculation. While the term “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, the trinitarian structure appears throughout the NT to affirm that God Himself is manifested through Jesus Christ by means of the Spirit. A proper biblical view of the Trinity balances the concepts of unity and distinctiveness. —Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary There is much more said about the trinity in the single quoted volume alone. I copied and pasted just a portion in order to honor the Terms of Use of the Forum and so as not to infringe on the copyright. Hope this helps, Jeff |
