make it hard for some to accept that God can be “three” but one in essence and nature. God on the other hand is not limited by our three-dimensional world and how we understand it; He is more complex than we are. Looking back over the course of history, it is the different attempts by different people especially the theologians to describe who God is, and His role in creation and existence of life that led to the doctrine of the Trinity; by trying to explain God in term of his persona or hypostasis

Are You Your Name? Is God His Name? Can We Worship God’s Name? William Shakespeare once wrote, "What 's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." The question is: what is the value of a name? If names do have value, do they truly define the person or thing that possesses it? Finally, how does this relate to God?

consists of God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit, yet they make up one God. It is the simple philosophy of the 3-in-1 or three persons, one essence first brought up by Tertullian. It is this philosophy that allows Christianity to be a monotheism. The definition of the Trinity according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is “the unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead according to Christian dogma.” The basis of the Trinity is that there is God the Father

his work is confirm the oneness of the triune God. While some of his heretical opponents insist that the triune Godhead is not fully unified, Basil set the record straight by saying that “according to the distinction of Persons, both are one and one, and according to the community of Nature, one.” Basil is not talking about two or three different Gods, but of one single God, one that “is not cloven in two, nor the glory divided,” but instead of a God that is triune in essence.

Mormons use the name Elohim to refer to God. According to Terryl L. Givens in his book Wrestling the Angels, “The first verse of the Bible, however, employs a different name for the divine being-Elohim. The fact that Elohim appears as the divine name in the oldest portions of the Bible suggests its origin…” (117). The first verse of the bible says, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (NIV). Givens goes on to say, “…(and that of its root, El) in pre-Israelite traditions, and Canaanite

Curious also what makes life discover. John discovers Place of the Gods and has other to know about it. The story is using John’s point of view. It shows how John grows up from a timid kid to a young man who goes to the forbidden place alone. Using the first-person point of view is easy to explain John’s emotion and

the Bible, the teaching that there are three individual personalities of divine nature (known in the New Testament as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is thoroughly scriptural and has been generally acknowledged by the writers of “Christendom” since the apostolic age. “Around A.D. 190, Theodotus of Byzantium advocated the absolute personality of God.

Introduction “Would God have chosen to reveal himself to us as the one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, unless he knew that this would be important to our understanding of him and of our faith? Must it not be the case that God cares greatly that we “get it,” that we see him for who he is?” This is the very heart of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit: Relationships, Roles, and Relevance, by Dr. Bruce Ware, who serves in various key facets at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville
