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 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 nature of the trinity (or holy trinity) has caused centuries of argument and division within the christian faith. 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
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. The doctrine of the trinity is foundational to the christian faith and to christian living, since knowing god is at the heart of biblical religion and god is fully revealed as father, son, and holy spirit in the unfolding of the divine mystery. The christian doctrine of the trinity (from the latin trinus, meaning threefold) professes that there is one god, but three eternal and consubstantial persons (aspects) The father, the son, and the holy spirit. A trinity doctrine is commonly expressed as the statement that the one god exists as or in three equally divine “persons”, the father, the son, and the holy spirit
Every term in this statement (god, exists, as or in, equally divine, person) has been variously understood.
