The Trinity: Father‚ Son‚ & Holy Spirit What Is the Trinity? A question that takes two seconds to ask but yet a lifetime to figure out. Many people have different beliefs about the Trinity. In fact Fred Allaback distributed a paper entitled No New Leaders No New Gods where its stated that only one divine being existed through the eons of years. Then that one divine being had a son. Then that would mean Christ had a beginning. It also states that the holy spirit is only a force not a separate

The Trinity “In our time‚ and for ordinary Christians‚ the Triune nature of the One God‚ Father‚ Son and Holy Spirit‚ does not seem understandable or relevant.”1 Many Christians today‚ while professing a belief in the Trinity‚ have little to no knowledge of the actual meaning behind worshipping a Triune God. “For the very concept of numbers like one and three can never be capable of grasping the ineffable reality of God...they are at best only human verbal constructions...beyond comprehension

Doctrine of the Trinity This apparent paradox does not mean that there are “three gods in one” but that one God exists as three distinct persons who are coequal‚ coinfinite‚ and coeternal‚ all possessing the same essential nature. Each member of the Godhead-God the Father‚ God the Son‚ and God the Holy Spirit is therefore a separate person‚ individually possessing identical‚ eternal attributes. God is one in essence‚ but three in persons. Each person of the Godhead has a specific purpose related

difficult to tell exactly‚ how the Doctrine of the Trinity shapes our understanding of community and its practice‚ this essay argues that we can discern at least three primary outcomes of its consequences. Firstly‚ this essay favors ‘social trinitarianism’ that stressing only immanent trinity is wrong that it has to go with economic Trinity‚ which argues that divine communion in Trinity reflects our human communion. Secondly‚ egalitarian Trinity view rightly expresses the oneness in the divine glory

Rublyov’s Old Testament Trinity While difficult to understand and even more difficult to depict‚ one of the most complex and important concepts expressed in Christian art and ideology is the idea of the holy trinity.

The Holy Trinity by Masaccio was done approximately 1428. It is a superb example of Masaccio’s use of space and perspective. It consists of two levels of unequal height. Christ is represented on the top half‚ in a coffered‚ barrel-vaulted chapel. On one side of him is the Virgin Mary‚ and on the other‚ St. John. Christ himself is supported by God the Father‚ and the Dove of the Holy Spirit rests on Christ’s halo. In front of the pilasters that enframe the chapel kneel the donors (husband and wife)
