3.5.1 Trinity Doctrine Defined
Trinity Doctrine Defined
Trinity is from the Latin trinus and means threefold
In reference to God it describes The Three in One
The phrase Triune God is also used to describe the Trinity
Refers to the tri-unity of God
Three Persons within One God
The Scriptural word Godhead is also used to refer to the three persons within One God
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:—Romans 1:20
Within the One God are Three distinct Persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost
They are co-eternal
They are equal in power
They are one in unity
They are three in persons
They are each God
In essence
In attributes
This is a scripturally revealed doctrine
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.—I John 5:7
