The Doctrine of the Trinity is the Solution not a Problem

Welcome to The Rapid Pull, Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Some people think that the Doctrine of the

Trinity is a problem, when in fact the Doctrine of the Trinity is actually the solution to a problem.

What is the problem? Well, as we look at Scripture, we see that God the Father is referred to as God, and God the

Son is referred to as God, and God the Holy Spirit is referred to as God. And yet we also see in many passages, such as when

Jesus was baptized, we hear the voice of the Father, we see the Spirit descending like a dove, and yet we see

Christ standing in front of John. So you end up seeing that all three of the persons of the

Godhead are separate and distinct from one another. We also see that each of them,

Father, Son, and Spirit, all do the works that only God can do, such as creation, also all are involved in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We also see that they have attributes that only God can have, such as omniscience and eternality.

And so what you end up seeing is that the Trinity is the solution to a problem, because what we see in Scripture is that we see three persons who are all referred to as God, have the attributes of God, do the works of God, yet separate and distinct from one another, yet all referred to as one

Godhead. Christianity is monotheistic. We believe in one God, but that one

God is described as having three persons, the Father, the

Son, and the Holy Spirit. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry. For more content, or to request a speaker or seminar to your church, go to strivingforeternity .org
