Trinity United Church of Christ

As shown below, the similarities between the Gnostic Christology and Trinity of the Valentinians and the orthodox Trinitarians are striking. The Valentinians were teaching a Christology very similar to the Christology of the Trinity Doctrine expressed in the Athanasian Creed about 350 before the proclamation of the Athanasian Creed. Valentinus (c.100-c.160) was a teacher in Rome, who almost became Pope. Before coming to Rome in about 140, he had studied in Egypt. About 160, he died in Cyprus. He

shown that some Protestants churches, such as the Baptists, tend to have blended worship services. Thus, several churches are abandoning the traditional hymns and singing more contemporary Christian music in their worship services. Researchers in church music affirm that this is happening not only in Brazil, but it is a global tendency. The problem is that some churches can easily lose their identity if those contemporary songs are not based on a solid theology and biblical principles. As an example

Bread and Wine are visible and the Life of Christ is invisible. It is a sign of God 's grace, a visible sign, something we are able to see. Therefore the church stands as a visible sign; the invisible grace is God 's presence. Hence sacraments make God 's presence more real and understandable for us as believers. The church is needed to build up unity among all of us, to bring us together as a community to share in God 's life just as God wants. The church is a sign and instrument of unity with God

Although the Nicene Creed only changed and unified a few beliefs in Christianity and a whole, the Creed was very important and cleared up multiple subject and beliefs, such as the Holy Trinity, and the belief of a Holy Baptism and the following of

The doctrine and study surrounding the person of Jesus is known as Christology, and after extensive and often hostile debates the Church gave a concluding definition of its Christology in 451 CE at the Council of Chalcedon. It was stated that they affirmed the belief in Jesus Christ as ‘one Person in two natures, which are united without confusion.’ The early church was adamant that the Incarnation was one of the most important truths of the Christian faith. Maurice Wiles, an Oxford patristic

Scripture I believe that scripture is the infallible Word of God, divinely inspired by God through human hands, for the teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training of Christians and forming the basis of the Christian life and guiding them on the path to Christ. I believe that scripture is infallible rather than inerrant, because human writers through which God spoke can still make mistakes. However, Matthew 24:35 reminds us that God’s word is true in all ages and places. 2 Timothy 3:16 gives reasons why

person of God and is the same as the Son of God. He is the Lord and the Lord of Christ. Catholics and Protestants believe that the Holy Spirit by the Holy Father by the Communists, the Orthodox Church by the Father, the ages of faith, love, worship and worship. For by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit is the only one who is able to give birth to salvation; this salvation is completed by the bloodshed of Jesus Christ on the cross. The Holy Spirit lives in the heart of the believer and becomes our

In the United Methodist Church’s The Book of Discipline, the book of procedure and legislation of the United Methodist Church, states that the church is to be inclusive and that it should enable every person to participate in its life (BOD ¶ 139). It further states that all persons with “mental, physical, developmental, neurological, and psychological conditions or disabilities” are fully human and full members of God's family, with a rightful place in church and society. In recognition of this status

Christianity’s attachment to underlying principles and beliefs are centered on the devotion of the Holy Trinity. The perception of the trinity has shaped controversy by finding a solution from a reliable origin. Deliberation on the true entity of God is unavoidable and contrasting opinions emerge by human endeavor. Debate on the trinity largely was derived by disagreement on the concepts ousia (common essence) and hypostasis (substance). These concepts became distinctive by The Cappadocian Fathers:

what it means to confess that God is triune. Give care to an explication of “economic and immanent trinity,” and perichoresis. In order to explain what it means to confess that God is triune, Migliore explains the origin of our confession as well as the implications of a God who is three in one. In the following essay, I will give an account of Migliore’s description of how and why we confess the trinity before describing the three interpretive statements Migliore offers to us in an attempt to explain
