Doctrine of Trinity: A Theological Approach of Evidence of The Trinity in The New Testament
Journal Title: Jurnal Jaffray - Year 2012, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The doctrine of the Trinity has been a divisive issue throughout the entire history of the Christian church. While the core aspects of the Trinity are clearly presented in God’s Word, some of the side issues are not as explicitly clear. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God—but there is only one God. That is the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. Beyond that, the issues are, to a certain extent, debatable and non-essential. Rather than attempting to fully define the Trinity with our finite human minds, we would be better served by focusing on the fact of God's greatness and His infinitely higher nature. From the Second Century to our present age many people have found the biblical doctrine of the Trinity hard to understand. Someone has said of this doctrine: “Try to explain it, and you’ll lose your mind; but try to deny it, you’ll lose your soul.
