The Trinity is the Christian Godhead as one God in three persons. The three beings are God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. They are three beings in perfect relationship in one essence. Each member of the Godhead are equally important, but serve different positions in authority. [5 The three beings are uncreated beings without beginning. The three different names are not separate parts of God, but one name for God because the three beings coexist as one entity. They are inseparable and have perfect unity.] [2 The word Trinity is the Christian doctrine of the Godhead.] The Trinity is considered a divine mystery beyond comprehension. The word trinity itself is never actually used in the bible, but is clearly see in the scriptures.
The Father is the head of the trinity, making him the first in authority. Chapter 24 verse 36 says “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” This doesn’t make the Son, or the Holy Spirit less valuable. For example, is a wife less valuable than the husband, or a son less valuable than the dad? No, the Father just has more authority. “With great power comes great responsibility” a famous quote from Ben Parker who is a character in Marvel, but nonetheless true. The Father has more responsibility than the Son and Holy Spirit, but they are still equal. The Son is second in authority, but is still equal to the Father and Holy Spirit. John 14:31 says “but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here” and again explains that very clearly. 1 Cor 11:3 says, “But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” Finally the Holy Spirit is third of the three beings. Jn 14:26 says “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to
The definition of person is, “a person is a being, such as a human, that has certain capacities or attributes constituting personhood.” Each member has characteristics and attributes that fill the the definition. God the Father in control of his action and can think for himself and has thoughts. God the Son is fully human. He cried took care of people and love others. God the Holy Spirit is capable of thinking of his own also. He can be grieved and can travel where he wants. So, each member of the trinity is considered their own unique

After writing about both the Trinity and Salvation, I have learned that they are immensely interconnected. The Trinity allows human beings to find Salvation. All in all, the Trinity is not three separate parts, but one part with three different essences.

  • Understanding the Divine Trinity in the Bible

    The Bible never makes of the specific reference of the trinity, the Bible does talk about the divine existence of each of the three members of the Trinity, God (The Father), The Son (Jesus Christ), and the Spirit (The Holy Spirit). It is still a complex idea for me to understand fully but scripture does indeed tell of the work and existence of the trinity.

    Jesus gave insight regarding these roles during His discussion with the disciples in John 14-16. From this, we learn that is was the role of the Holy Spirit to “guide [the apostles] into all truth” (John 16:13). It was by way of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that these men preached and taught the truth, and through that same inspiration that the writers of the New Testament penned the Scriptures (2 Peter 1:20, 21). The role of Jesus (the Word) is that the message that the Holy Spirit would “guide” the apostles in belonged to Him and would bring glory to Him. “‘He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you,’” (John 16:14). It was also in Jesus’ (the Word’s) name, or by His authority (cf. Matthew 28:18), that the Holy Spirit was to be sent. Finally, the Father’s role in New Testament revelation was to send the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name (John 14:26). It is also clear that the message which belonged to Jesus originated and came from the Father Himself (John 16:15). It was Deity that revealed His will in the form of the New Testament, and each Person had a specialized role in that

  • The Ministry of the Trinity

    The ministries of Jesus and the Holy Spirit are closely related, each one serving an individual purpose while complimenting the other. Although the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one in the trinity, they each have different roles that they play. The Holy Spirit plays an active part in our lives, as does Jesus. The role of the Spirit changed with Jesus. When Jesus died and rose from the cross, He opened up a new doorway for us, a new opportunity for us to experience the Holy Spirit. The Spirit became active and real to us in a way that He never could before. Today, our lives are focused on Jesus, focused on His love and sacrifice. His present ministry is seen through His believers. We are His lights in this present dark world.

    In order to become a Christian, one must accept the presence of God as our savior and provider of eternal life. Christians must acknowledge God’s divine nature as the mere entity of human redemption. According to Diffey (2014), the acknowledgement of God’s existence provides wisdom and fear which enforces Christians to love and obey God through the existence of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit simply means God is spiritually present in our life. Because God spoke and created the world he is considered the “Father” of

    “The practice of baptism in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the second century propelled the development of the trinitarian theology” (LaDue 48). According to Collins, the trinity can be defined by three statements “1. There is only one true God. 2. This one true God exists as three distinct persons. 3. Each person is fully divine” (Collins 29-31). The three people that make up the trinity are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. First there is the Father. There are many Bible passages where God is referred to as the Father, this can be concluded because He alone created all things and His first human creation, Adam, was called the son of God. Jesus is God’s son and he was sent by his father, the Father, to offer humanity salvation from their sins. The “God of the Israelites reveals himself as a distinct, unique, superior deity who is always there. God’s being there is what defines him” (LaDue 14). The Israelites sometimes see the God Yahweh as an imitation of the trinity in the old testament, but they do not have distinct leveled personalities. Although God is distinct and unique, the idea that He is superior can be a false assumption as all the persons of the trinity have equal power and divinity. Another person of the trinity is the Holy Spirit. Yes, the Holy Spirit is a person. This is a common misconception of the

    “Trinity” is a word that symbolizes the incarnation of a three-in-one Godhead. She represents the “Holy Spirit” because many people are brought to the “One” which is said to be Neo by her. In the film we have Morpheus which in biblical references is "the Father," Neo who is "the Son," and Trinity who is "the Holy Spirit." In of the scenes Trinity talked to Neo when he died in the Matrix. Her kiss raised him, which would reference the biblical verse Romans 8:11 “…. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you…” Trinity in one particular scene in the film she insisted that Neo needed her assistance in order to help Morpheus, Trinity symbolizes our lives that we need to walk in the Spirit.

    In John 10:30 Jesus says; “I and the Father are One.” By this, He meant that He and God were the same. For example, God and the Son of God both created everything (1 Corinthians 8:6) (Morgan, 211–212). The Holy Spirit is also God too, as one can read in 1 John 5:7–8: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” This Holy Divinity is called the Trinity- a group of three, as One. “In the name of the Trinity the living God is revealed” (Robinson, 187) This Trinity is God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. “The Triune God is an all-sufficient God, all-sufficient for Himself and all-sufficient for His people” (Robinson,

  • Christian, Islam, And Judaism

    The conception of God in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam is monotheism, the belief in the existence of a single indivisible God. The three of religions maintains that there is only one God, who is active in and concerned about the world. These religions are also patriarchal, male-dominated, which has resulted in God being described as “He.” However, how Christians, Judaism and Islam conceptualize God in their respective theologies is actually quite different. In Christianity, God is the supreme creator and ruler of the universe. Christians believe God is infinite, omnipotent, all-powerful, perfect, personal, eternal, unchanging, holy, all-knowing, and all-loving. Their idea of God is shown in the belief of the Trinity. God is one, but with three aspects: God is Father, the creator, ruler, and sustainer of all life, and divine judge; God is the Son, who is Jesus, God made incarnate and savior of humanity; and the Holy Spirit, who is God working in the world. Both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus, however, the major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ. In Christian scriptures, God never claimed divinity while the emphasis in the Islamic theology of God is “absolute unity;” God is sublimely one. Muslims think that by believing in the Trinity, Christians believe in three Gods. For them, God is One God. Judaism views the existence of God as a necessary prerequisite for the existence of the universe, and the existence of the universe is sufficient proof of the existence of God.

    The doctrine of the Trinity, as seen in the Christian bible, is primary to the Christian faith. The word “Trinity” does not actually appear in the bible; it is a theological label meant to summarize certain teachings of certain passages of scripture, and is crucial to properly understand what God is like, how He relates to us, and how we relate to Him. It may also raise many difficult questions including what does it mean that God is a Trinity? While it is difficult for us to fully understand everything about the trinity, it is quite possible to answer questions like this one and come to a solid grasp of what it means for God to be three in one.

    The Trinity is made up of God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This concept is what many Catholics believe in, but other worldwide religions believe in other beliefs. Out of all the three Divine Persons, “Jesus is the most qualified to bring the renewal of creation because it was through him that creation came into being” (Pohle February 7th). We as humans will have to face the consequences for actions that we have done in the past, present and future. Jesus has come into the world as a human to show his dignity and save us from sin; he was the world and of all creation. As we come to read more about Jesus we get to know Jesus more, we learn about what he did, how he did it and why he had to do these saving actions.

    Each religion believes in a higher being than any human. In the Catholic religion we believe in God. There are three divine persons in one being whom we perceive as God. We give God this recognition because He created all things including the covenant in which humans received their salvation. In the book On the Incarnation by Saint Athanasius many challenges of why God is the only God are confronted. It is justified that God is the one and only God through examples, parables and scripture. The covenant in which God came to the Earth in human form as Jesus Christ to bring salvation to all His people is known as the Incarnation and was unquestionably accomplished through Jesus Christ.
