The word trinity is a term used to denote the christian doctrine that god exists as a unity of three distinct persons; father, son, and holy spirit. Each of the persons is distinct from the other, yet identical in essence. In other words, each is fully divine in nature, but each is not the totality of the other persons of the trinity. Each as a will, loves, and says I and you when speaking. The FATHER IS NOT THE SAME AS THE SON, AND THE SON IS NOT THE SAME AS THE HOLY SPIRIT |

The holy spirit is not the same as the father. Each is divine, yet there are not three gods, but one GOD. There are three individual subsistences, or persons. The word subsistence means something that has a real existence. The word person denotes individuality and self awareness.

The word trinity is not found in the bible. But this does not mean that the concept is not taught there. The word bible is not found in the bible either, but we use it anyway. The word omni-present (present every where) is not found in the bible, but we use it to describe God.

the Catholic Encyclopedia says ''... in this Trinity... the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal:...'' this is a little confusing as other trinitarians say they not the same |

dude! the bible was not put together until quite a few yrs after it had been written. the books were in different scrolls. and then later the scrolls were put together and called the bible. the words scroll is found everywhere in the scrolls(the bible). so trying to justify the word trinity not being in the bible by saying the word bible isnt there... you're twisting things for the bible was scrolls and im sure you have come across the word scrolls in the bible

@unquiet, I want you to share your own belief with me the I can know your own perspective to the issue so that we can have a godly edifying conversation rather than debate that will build but lead to strife and contention. Okay Brother?

The Creator The true God has given himself a personal name - Jehovah (or Yahweh, as used in the Roman Catholic Jerusalem Bible and preferred by some modern-day scholars)... that distinguishes him from false gods. (Psalm 83:18) The Hebrew form of the divine name appears some 7,000 times in the original text of the Scriptures. Stressing the importance of that name, Jesus said in his model prayer: ''Hallowed be thy name.'' (Matthew 6:9, King James Version) God rightly demands exclusive devotion. thats why, Jesus said: ''It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.'' in Matthew 4:10. and thats why i use no icons or images in my worship. (see 1 John 5:21). |
