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. …show more content…

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

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)

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

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

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.

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

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.

According to Johnson, I learned that the creeds did not justify how God could also be triune but the creeds acknowledges it.   It is confusing how God is described to be God revealed on earth and in heaven. It is like he is everywhere. It is interesting how the Trinitarian is not for us to understand by to reveal God and his mysteries.

Pentecostal faith holds true to the belief and core doctrine of the Trinity, in that God, the father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are one (Matthew 28:19), and that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. Although, not scriptural references are made to the word “TRINITY” is made in the Bible, we understand the Trinity to encompass; God the father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, which we found referenced in these scriptures: II Corinthians 13:14 and Matthew 28:19. All inspiration for God’s words are recorded in the Bible and is our guidelines and practices for our faith. Our basis for adopting these guidelines and basic fundamental for truth of fellowship are for the purpose of consistency within our denomination

“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.

For the majority of Christians through ages, God has been understood to be a living communion of Three-in-One. Christian identity is grounded in this divine reality. The vast majority of Christians worldwide have literally been baptized into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as they entered the Christian community, the Church. In worship the vast majority of Christians pray to the father, Son, and Holy Spirit, or to the Father through the son in the Holy Spirit.
