Description
We look at various Scriptures to see what the Bible has to say about the topic of the Trinity.Verses in this episode:One God:Deuteronomy 6:4John 17:3Isaiah 44:61 Timothy 2:3-6 (and we cross referenced 1 John 4:14 with this one)God the Father:John 3:161 John 3:1a1 Peter 1:3aLuke 10:21-222 Corinthians 1:3-4Jesus is God:Matthew 3:1-3John 8:48-59Exodus 3:13-15John 10:22-42John 14:8-11John 20:24-29Mark 2:1-12Mark 4:35-41 (and we cross referenced Psalm 107:23-32)Jesus' humanity:Mark 4:38aJohn 4:4-6Matthew 9:9-13John 19:28-37Jesus' submission to the Father:John 14:28 (and we cross referenced John 17:4-5 and Philippians 2:5-11)The Angel of the Lord:Genesis 22:10-18The Holy Spirit is a Person:Ephesians 4:301 Corinthians 12:11Romans 8:26-27John 16:12-15The Holy Spirit is God:Acts 5:1-6The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament:Genesis 1:21 Samuel 16:13Isaiah 11:1-2All three Persons of the Trinity in the same passage:Matthew 3:16-17Matthew 28:18-20John 14:26Galatians 4:6Romans 8:9Here are the articles that I referenced (as well as a few others that might be helpful):General overview of the Trinity: https://www.gotquestions.org/Trinity-Bible.htmlInformation about Jesus being God: https://www.insight.org/resources/article-library/individual/how-do-we-know-that-jesus-is-godInformation concerning the Angel of the Lord: https://blog.logos.com/angel-of-the-lord/ (This is quite a lengthly and somewhat detailed article, but it is helpful when discussing this subject. One quick correction: at one place the article mentions "Genesis 20:10-18". That is a typo. The correct reference is Genesis 22:10-18.)Information about the Holy Spirit being God: https://www.gotquestions.org/is-the-Holy-Spirit-God.htmlConcerning Modalism: https://www.gotquestions.org/Modalistic-Monarchianism.htmlConcerning Arianism: https://www.gotquestions.org/arianism.htmlConcerning Docetism: https://www.gotquestions.org/Docetism.htmlConcerning Adoptionism: https://www.gotquestions.org/adoptionism.htmlI mentioned that I would include a few articles discussing the possible meaning of John 10:34. Below are two articles that take differing stances. I want to include as a disclaimer that I am not necessarily endorsing one view over the other. To be totally honest, I am not fully sure where I land on the subject yet. I would like to study it more. However, I simply wanted to include both perspectives as a means of allowing you all to be informed.One view: https://www.gotquestions.org/you-are-gods.htmlAnother view: https://faithlife.com/posts/776815Here is the quote I mentioned concerning when Jesus said “for the Father is greater than I”: “‘for the Father is greater than I’ This is not a statement that focuses on the inequality of the Son, but a statement that deals with the functions within the Trinity related to mankind's salvation (cf. John 10:29-30). This subordination of the Son was only for a period of time, during His stay on the earth to fulfill the Triune God's plan of revelation and redemption (cf. John 17:4-5; Phil. 2:6-11). However, there is a sense in which the Father, being the sender, is primary (cf. John 13:16; 1 Cor. 15:27-28; Eph. 1:3-14).”**CORRECTIONS**At 3:34 it was not too clear when I finished the quote. Here is the whole quote: "This is a term that is used to attempt to describe the triune God—three coexistent, co-eternal Persons who are God."At 31:41 the correct reference is actually Matthew 9:9-13.At 38:55 the correct reference is actually Philippians 2:5-11.F
