Trinity on Thursday

Today I start a series of short, medium and long reflections on the wonderful Triune nature of the God of all that is – seen and unseen. This nature of God is called the Trinity.

A simple definition:

The Trinity – the eternally existing of one divine Being, existing eternally in in three persons. Each person co-eternal.

 

if that is something that the trinity is, then we shlould clarify what the Trinity is most definitely not.

The Trinity is not one God existing as three Gods.

The Trinity is not one divine person existing as three divine persons.

 

Quotable Quotes

 

I thank the LORD, the almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has given me life and breath and every truth and insight that I have received. He has redeemed me from the pit through Christ my Saviour, and set me on the path of eternal life. To him I give all the glory.
