Our inability to understand, however, does not mean the doctrine of the trinity is untrue or unbiblical The word trinity is not found in scripture Trinity, in christian doctrine, the unity of father, son, and holy spirit as three persons in one godhead The doctrine of the trinity is considered to be one of the central christian affirmations about god. The nature of the trinity (or holy trinity) has caused centuries of argument and division within the christian faith. The doctrine of the trinity means that there is one god who eternally exists as three distinct persons — the father, son, and holy spirit
Stated differently, god is one in essence and three in person. The doctrine of the trinity teaches that there is one god This one god reveals himself in three persons We identify them as god the father, god the son (jesus), and god the holy spirit. The trinity in christianity is the doctrine that the one god eternally exists as three distinct persons The father, the son (jesus christ), and the holy spirit.
Every term in this statement (god, exists, as or in, equally divine, person) has been variously understood. The oneness of god in our faith, we recognize that god is a singular being The concept of the trinity does not imply three separate gods, but rather one divine essence in three distinct persons The father, the son, and the holy spirit This helps us understand that god is unified in his nature and action This belief fosters a deeper relationship with each person of the trinity, as we engage.
