    The Trinity

    Jesus has always been the Son, but the Second Person of the Trinity has not always been Jesus. In the Old Testament we do not find "the Son" acting within the creation and Jesus has not been born. Yet the Second Person of the Trinity is thought to be at work in the Angel of the LORD.

    The Trinity

    This, of course, is a doctrine (a teaching). I am wondering whether you know where it comes from? We do not find the Son in the Old Testament except as prophesy obout a future event. Eternal Sonship actually comes from Origen. He was having a problem with the second Psalm - specifically "You are...

    The Trinity

    I am not sure exactly what your are asking. In the Declaration of Independence Jeferson wrote: "We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created equal .... " To say that all men are created equal does not mean that they are all the same or that they even have equal talents. It...

    The Trinity

    John 1:1 ( KJV ) 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word (Jesus) was with God (Deity- The Father) and the Word(Jesus) was (Deity). Now we understand that the verse is saying that in the beginning...

    The Trinity

    The word 'God' is singular and it refers to the three Persons of the Trinity. Each of the Members of the Trinity is called God in the New Testament, but we never read that the Father and the Son are 'Gods.' (John 10:30 I and my Father are one). One commentator described the concept of the...

    The Trinity

    The biblical concept of the Trinity does not allow for a hierarchial relationship between the members of the Trinity ontologially. The three members need to be co-equal and co-eternal. But there is another relationship which is described by theologians as the 'economical' Trinity. This is to...

    The Trinity

    Why do we go to the trouble of creating analogies? I think that the answer is to make difficult concepts intellectually plausible. The God of the Bible is one. There are no other gods, according to the Bible. There are three major monotheist religions that are to be traced back to the Bible...

    The Trinity

    What if three men decided to put on a play. The first man said, "I will be the author, I will write the script." The second man said, "Ok, I will play the lead role," and the third man said, "I will be the director." In the above scenario we have three men who are equal as man to man. They...

    The Trinity

    If this were so obvious, why did the whole Jewish intelectual community miss it? They spoke Hebrew. I believe that the trinitary aspect of the Godhead is not revealed until the New Testament when Jesus tells his disciples to go and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy...
