Trinity United Church of Christ

denominations tried to explain the Trinity, the three distinct Persons of God. But yet through the limited understanding of human knowledge and perceptions of God, they were not able to comprehend indefiniteness of God. One of the issues that Christians wanted to understand is the Triune God; in order to understand Trinity, it is helpful for us to know the existence of God. Then ask questions like; How the three Gods united and become One God? How should we understand Trinity? What are the positions and

THE TRINITY: GOD IN THREE PERSONS The 21st century has become a time of drastic change. America and the world are becoming more irreligious, urban, diverse and postmodern. Almost everything is now being debated and re-examined concerning who God is and how the Bible is construed.

“Christian theology developed in the very act of responding to pagan objections” remarks Gonzalez (63). As the church grew the practice of theology resulted in many interpretations and threatened traditions held about the nature of God. Gnosticism made inroads claiming that Christ was a messenger who carried gnosis so that humanity could return to its spiritual origins (72). It viewed the physical world as evil so the form of Jesus’ body was open to interpretation consistent with the thought that

Doctrine of the Trinity The Trinity is a hard concept for the human minds to fully comprehend. Although the word “Trinity” is not mentioned in the Bible, there is evidence that God is three in one. Jesus’ baptism described in Matthew 3:13-17 references the Trinity. Matthew speaks of Jesus coming out of the water, the heavens opening, and describing the Spirit of God descending like a dove and a voice from heaven saying “This is my Son, whom I love.” Also, in Matthew 29:19 it says “Therefore go and

different times and to different audiences, both Ignatius of Antioch and Cyprian of Carthage found their voices in addressing the topic of Church unity, among other themes. In the midst of impending or recent persecution, both Ignatius and Cyprian warned against schism and encouraged the Church to persevere in the face of confusion.

After the revolution, the Anglican Church took another hit with decline in membership. Most of their ministers

Jesus Christ Whom He Hath Sent”, by Jeffery R. Holland and “Propaganda under a dictatorship”, by Aldous Huxley are two totally different topics. This paper will be a breaking down of the two articles and finding the similarities between the two of them. It will be interesting, but nothing is impossible. The two topics are Hitler wanting so much power and control over the people and the Trinity and how other religions do not think we are Christians because we do not believe in the Trinity; I will

One of the Most monumental moments for the Christian Church was the conversion of Constantine in 312 AD. This drastically changed christians lives, before they had suffered huge amounts of persecution. In Rome today still stands the Coliseum, to which the christians were fed to the lions as entertainment. Constantine, under the influence of his epiphany, changed this.
