Trinity, it is a word that never appear in the whole Bible, non-also appear that the Three are one. Neither appears in the New Testament (NT). But it is in the whole context of the NT that we can understand the oneness of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Deut 6.4 says that God is the only one, Jesus, all the time, showed He was God (Mk 2.1-12) and the gospel of John presents Him as the incarnated God (Jn 1.1-18)
In Matt 28.20 Jesus says: “I am with you always…” and in Pentecost, 10 days after His ascension to the Father, who comes is the Holy Spirit, who have been with us from those times. I find oneness here. Only God is eternally present, Jesus is always with us and who appear is the Holy Spirit. The context is clear, they are three and, they are one.

The main quest in the concept of trinity is if Jesus Christ was only a man or a Divine one. Other quest is how they relate each other. There are some texts in the NT denying to Jesus some of God’s attributes like knowing all when He says that He does not know the day and hour of the Father’s coming, and that He could not avoid to be martyrized to death. But Paul in Phil. 2, talks about Jesus Kenosis, i.e. He emptied Himself, setting aside His privileges as God, self-limiting his
The three of them are not created, each of them is a person that united in a essence of God. It is embodied in the Athanasius Creed as we believe the doctrine of Trinity. God had to be a human because it is necessary, He who was true God and true man could bridge the gulf between God and human. Only Jesus could be obedient in our stead or benefit and it is the sole purpose of Christ’s incarnation, which was for our
In Mark Jarman’s “Unholy Sonnet 1” the Trinity is represented though vivid images and language to illustrate that comprehending the Trinity is something out of a person understanding. Jarman, to provide the reader with the knowledge that he is talking about the Trinity refers to God in three ways in a single line, “Dear God, Heavenly Father, Gracious Lord” (1). This line shows the use of language to describe the Trinity which is made up of The Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit. Then the author goes on throughout the first half of the poem capitalizing words that relate to God to show each word as a pronoun, “Mother Love and Maker, Light Divine… Oasis That All Sands Are Running Toward” (1,8)
I grew up in a family who loved God, went to church, and taught me about God. I knew that “God is three in one.” He is the Trinity and the Trinity is a mystery that we will never fully understand. In my simple faith my theology, while never fully formed, likely tended toward tritheism. I “knew” that God is one, but in categorizing His diversity I think I lost His unity.
Jesus and the holy spirit are just different forms of God. It is up to us how we see them. Our churches may have a certain image of them, but reading this book made me think it is up to ourselves how we see God, Jesus, and the holy spirit. It is easy for us to see Jesus as a handsome, tall, strong man, but he was not. He was just like us, his people.
This basically proves to all that Jesus was indeed part of the trinity, and He fulfilled all that was talked about in the Old Testament, and to believers of that time on up until today. He rose up to take His rightful place in Heaven with God, and He left us with the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Everyone could now
Athanasius defended the Trinity, which is one of the biggest beliefs and a core element in Christian faith. The Trinity is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, all three united as one. During the fourth century, Arius went around teaching that Jesus the Son was different in divinity to God the Father. He points out many Scriptures proving that Jesus is saying that the Father and Son are clearly different, showing that they
This does indicate that the Holy Spirit is important and should receive praise, although not once does it say that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit together compose the trinity. This is slightly confusing; they believe the Holy Spirit is from the Father but he proceeds the Father, indicating that they are not all together
In Matthew 28, this reading is explaining the Great Commission and Promise what God had for us. In Johnson, we learn how the Trinitarian linguistic embraces the universe with love from God. Johnson chapter 10, it is interesting how the Trinity became separated from Christian life, and confusing how theologians are trying to get them back together.
God of the Holy Scriptures. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, The Word of God, God from God, Light from Light, Life from Life, Son in likeness to his Creator. Through him all things came into being.
Christians believe in the trinity. God as in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, which is to love God and to love one’s
The doctrine of the Trinity explains several parts of both our orthodoxy as well as our orthopraxy. Frankly, there are many things that we do now (and have done for most of Christian history) that do not make any logical sense without it. Prayer is does not line up logically without both a Holy Spirit as well as a Father. How else could we believe that our words would ever be sufficient for the Creator? Romans tells us that the Holy Spirit intercedes and becomes the interpreter between us and the Father.
In Christianity the Holy Spirit is a being that is in the trinity which is three in one, the father, son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is often called the comforter and it comforts us when we are down and the wind comforts Vienne and it guides her in her struggles in life. It is also called the counselor and teacher. We
Because of the limitations of human language and human understanding, fully grasping or articulating the mystery of the trinity is not attainable. Augustine quotes Paul on this point, reminding us that we only see “through a glass dimly.” However, because there are limitations on comprehension does not mean there is nothing that can be known; the phrase “the trinity the Lord is” is a way of articulating and remembering those things which can be said about the triune Lord while remaining faithful to boundaries of orthodox Trinitarian doctrine. This doctrine has been articulated throughout the years by thinkers such as Augustine, and this doctrine is helpful for providing grammar and syntax for how to speak about the Lord. “The Trinity the Lord
“The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that you may have life, and life to the full,” John 10:10. Although, this verse is found in the New Testament, in my personal opinion is a winning celebration after a long, hard game, and a reminder of the past, but to continue to move forward in the future. Verses like John 10:10, and the well quoted John 3:16, are the reason why we can look back through the first few chapters of the Old Testament, and not get hung up on the troubling times, because a savior came, to be the awaited plot twist. I have heard many sermons that talk about the fall of man that is found in Genesis 3, but one sermon I in particular answered the question of why does this happen. The pastor spent time on one
However, it is not a separate operation of the Holy Spirit since it proceeds from the Father and Son. So, wherever the Holy Spirit is there is the Father and the Son. Jesus makes it clear when he says, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with
