During the course of the semester we learned about group theory, creating videos explaining the basics of group theory. We stated the four axioms of group theory and gave examples of group theory in the real world. Now what if I told you that group theory originated in the heavens, mainly from the big guy himself. Have I gotten your attention yet? Well, before I go into my explanation of God and group theory, I feel that it would be a good idea to look back and review what groups consist of. Firstly, a group is a specific set of elements, which might consist of integers, pens, and even people, so long as these elements follow the four specific rules that are also known as axioms. For this example we are going to use the group called red apples …show more content…

In this case our identity would be nothing or zero.

Axiom 4: Every group has an element within it called its inverse that when applied to another element in the group would give you the identity. If we look back to our example, the inverse would be to take a green apple so when you applied the two you have no apples or zero.

Now that we have an idea of what a group is, we can look at the original group, the Trinity. First, we must specify the Trinity as a group consisting of the elements of the Father (God), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. If we look closely, we see that The Trinity is closed completely, which means that no matter what we do to God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit they will always remain the same. Also, if we took God and added Jesus and the Holy Spirit, it would be the same to take Jesus and the Holy Spirit and add God because God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one in the same. In both of these situations, the result is the Trinity. Going further, when you think of the identity of this group, it would also be zero, like the apples on the table. Now something more difficult to think about is the inverse of this group. How could there be one thing that when applied to an element in The Trinity extracts nothing from the application? Note that a group is closed under all operations and within this specific group there contains unity and diversity. It is unified because all elements contained in the group rely on one another in order to remain true. It is diverse because the elements ultimately have different purposes. So, the inverse of The Trinity would be The Trinity, which is in the
