Trinitarianism: Introduction

Let’s Be Clear

The teaching of the Tri-Unity of the Godhead is a solid biblical doctrine that we, mere lay people and some of you, professional lay people can get a grip on. Some one may argue “It is too mysterious; we must take it by faith.” It is true that the Trinity is no easy doctrine to grasp that is why God preserved the Bible and gave the church competent teachers that open and unfold the Scriptures to others. BTW it is the joy of the expositor to do this, may it be your joy and to your credit to do your best to search the Word on your own to see if what the expositor teaches rings true.

Here is the seven point outline which I hope to follow:

I know this seems like a lot of ground to cover. There may not be the immediate application as other segments of Systematic Theology. However, we will get a firm understanding of this doctrine, especially if we read and mark our Bibles appropriately. As I have done in the past I will keep an open forum for discussion and/or debate. The only “rules”, as always are; to be courteous, and respectful of others views and opinions that goes double for mine.
