God : The Universe Out Of Nothing

God the Son is revealed in the Christian Scriptures. God the Spirit is revealed in the Church. The Trinitarian doctrine states that there are three co-eternal, equal persons in God, which is the notion of unity within community. The Trinitarian doctrine was further developed and defined at the councils of Nicaea in 325 CE and Constantinople in 381 CE. God was always trinity, however gradually this reality became known through revelation. Jesus calls God and speaks of the spirit which indicates a plurality in God. The difficulty is reconciling the concept of monotheism with the notion of God existing as three persons. The divine essence is common to all three, however the three persons have attributes or properties which distinguished them eg Fatherhood, sonship and sanctifying power. Once essence means that the actions (creation, redemption, sanctification) are attributable to all. Mutual relations is the concept that the terms Father and Son are not titles but expressions of a relationship and thus all three persons are co-equal

In his video “How Do You Make a Biblical Case for the Trinity?", Brett Kunkle provides three “steps” to systematically explain the essential truths of the doctrine of the Trinity (STRvideos). The first step is to “Start with the very clear passages that suggest that there is only one God” (STRvideos “How Do You Make a Biblical Case for the Trinity?”); this is essential to avoiding the heresy of tritheism. Several passages of Scripture, including Deuteronomy 6 and John 17:3, affirm that the God of the Scriptures is alone God of all the earth. The second step is to “Look[] at the distinction between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” (STRvideos “How Do You Make a Biblical Case for the Trinity?”). By studying the various roles of the three members

Throughout this semester I have learned many of the different christian doctrines. Many of them were challenged and also accepted in my weekend trip throughout Saint Louis. I think one of the most important topics that was discussed during my weekend was the consideration of the Trinity. In the Christian thought the word “trinity” is a term used to talk about the Christian doctrine that God exists as a unity of three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three of the staple thoughts include; God is three person; each person is divine; there is only one God. In their relations to one another, they are stated to be on in all else, co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial. With these three thoughts about the Trinity you also must remember that Christianity is a monotheistic religion.

After this, he decided that earth was to be a moral proving ground for the matter that he arranged. The final state (after death) is decided based upon how the arranged matter lived its life on earth. This moves into the salvific account of God. There is a salvation through grace, after works are accounted for. This shows that God is not even the ultimate being. If creation was already formed, then who/what formed it initially. God is no longer a powerful being but a superior figure that obtained this specific form of holiness sooner than we did as pre-existing

Trinity is one God. Each of the persons of the trinity, Father, Son, and Spirit “is God whole and entire”. I believe that the trinity of persons consists of one substance and one essence. Each of the persons is that supreme reality, the divine substance, essence or nature. Each of the three persons are distinct from one another, but known to be related to one another.

In the Christian faith, there is one existing God, fully manifested in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Every unit of the God-head is equally God, and fully God. Each member is identical in quality and essence, yet each has a distinct, personal expression of divine nature. In an article about family ministry, Bruce A Ware calls it, “not merely an equality of kind but what might be called an ‘equality of identity.’” However, before we can dive into the role of The Holy Spirit in the trinity, we must find scriptural evidence which verifies that The Holy Spirit is, in fact, God. The following scriptures are biblical evidence for The Holy Spirit’s deity.

“Should the Interpretation of Genesis 1-2 be Literal or Nonliteral?” Either the universe has a beginning in time, or it has always existed. Since the universe has always been in existence, it means that it came from infinity without a beginning. Neither scientifically nor philosophically, in this universe, has anything been known to have appeared without cause.

Jesus, after he was crucified, was buried and then raised from the dead three days later. He appeared in his new physical body, still fully human and fully God, to his disciples and a vast amount of people before ascending into heaven to sit at the right hand of God. His disciples then waited until the Holy Spirit came upon them on the day of Pentecost, bringing the Holy Spirit to them, so that they could spread the gospel and share the love of God to the Jews and the Greeks, and bring the gospel to the ends of the earth. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit exist three in one in the holy trinity, and

The Godhead consists of three separate persons who at the same time are one but they also have separate roles. Jesus Christ (the Son) is the Savior as described in verse 2. He saved us from sin and death that we couldn’t possibly save ourselves from. Without Jesus we would be faced with an eternity in hell without God. God is “the Father,” He sent his Son down to earth to pay the penalty for our sins. God had a plan for our salvation and put that plan into action through Jesus. The Holy Spirit is a helper

original creation by apparent age and Biblical catastrophism. It has been shown that a normal interpretation of scripture gives strong evidence for a creation-in six days of 24-hours (Dr.JackL.Arnold). Once more relying upon science to form the filter through which we examine Scriptural truth, the Apparent-Age theorists sees a contradiction between science and God's Word and feeling he must reconcile the two, he decides that God must have created the universe to look as if it were very old. After all, he posits, God made Adam full-grown, for what reason should we not believe that

The first work of God found within Scripture is found within Gods account of the creation of cosmos found in Genesis 1:1-31. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (New International Version).” In the Hebrew the word bara meaning causing something to come into being that didn’t exist before. This work of God is essential to the Christian faith. In The Genesis Record by author and Professor Henry Morris argues in his book the belief of creationism refutes of all man’s false philosophies including atheism, pantheism, polytheism, materialism,

I sit contemplating, searching for words in favor of Devine Providence how God made the Universe. I must put away my rational understanding of the Big Bang, and the law of large numbers. I must take this assignment on “Faith”. No scientific facts, no rhyme or reason. NO, research. To blindly accept Providence as fact. Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, all center their religions on providence. God’s guidance and creator of the Universe. These religions are so committed to this principle that they will kill others who believe differently than they do. I cannot justify this way of thinking. As a child I questioned, rebelled against church and god. Then one day I found a reason to believe. I was in first or second grade. When I was in elementary

Christ is part of the Trinity and is recognized as God in creation-John 1:3, judge of all things in the future-john 5:27, and he has omniscience-Matthew 9:4. Charles Ryre proves Christ's deity and involvement in the Trinity in Basic Theology, as he writes,

It is important to begin by stating that there are many different doctrinal views of the Trinity. However I believe that the doctrine of Trinity defines one God who is eternally existent as three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. “These definitions express three crucial truths: (1) The Father, Son, and

The role of the son or Jesus is the savior and teacher. The role of the Holy Spirit is the empowerer and evangelist. All these roles combined equal a mystical element that describes the Trinity or another name is Godhead. To understand the Trinity, God is the sun that shines while Jesus is the rays of the sun and the Holy Spirit is the warmth that is felt from the sun. All personalities are equal and combined together called the Trinity.
