Rediscovering the Trinity (Part Three)
2008-04-17 18:16:00 Highlights of the final day of last week's "Rediscovering the Trinity" conference at Wheaton College (you knew there were going to be three posts in this series, didn't you?):Philip Butin, president of San Francisco Theological Seminary, was an engaging speaker who proposed that preaching could be a continuation of the divine speech that we find in the Bible. He cited the views of Calvin and other 16th-century Reformers that preaching didn't just expound God's word, it could be God's word under certain circumstances. Since the written text of Scripture is derived from a prior oral tradition, we can't say that God only works through written language. Proper preaching is not speech about God but speech by God, declaring what Jesus has said and done, and what He will do through the Spirit. To preach Christ means to allow the Spirit to speak through you. However, this is not automatic; the preacher has to unblock the channel for divine communication by staying ...

Rediscovering the Trinity (Part Two)
2008-04-17 15:21:00 More highlights from last week's Wheaton College conference on "Rediscovering the Trinity":Jonathan R. Wilson (Carey Theological College) and Steven M. Studebaker (McMaster Divinity College) gave presentations on the Trinity and the created world. Wilson summarized the thought of several theologians concerning the role played by each Person of the Trinity in creating and sustaining the cosmos. The late Colin Gunton, for example, elaborated on Irenaeus' metaphor that the Son and the Spirit are the two hands of God in the world. Gunton suggested that the Son is the unifying power of creation, reconciling all things and holding them together by his atonement, while the Spirit is the particularizing power of creation, guiding each part to reach that perfection appropriate to its nature. Through them, the Father both prevents creation from slipping back into chaos and restores its teleology. Meanwhile, according to Wilson, theologian Robert Jenson observed that the Trinitaria...

Rediscovering the Trinity at Wheaton (Part One)
2008-04-15 13:25:00 The annual theology conference at Wheaton College in Illinois is one of the spiritual high points of my year. Wheaton is the evangelicals' Harvard, a small school located on an idyllic and superhumanly neat campus in the Chicago suburbs. This year's topic was "Rediscovering the Trinity: Classic Doctrine and Contemporary Ministry". The Trinity is wonderful because, as Calvin College professor John Witvliet noted, its dynamic reconciliation of opposites (divine/human, unity/plurality, spiritual/physical) counteracts our perpetual tendency to reify particular concepts and then dismiss all aspects of life that fall outside our favorite abstract scheme. Nietzsche wrote that in every ascetic morality, man adores one aspect of himself as god and demonizes the rest. An incarnational, Trinitarian faith is anti-ascetic, frustrating our legalistic binary oppositions and the scapegoating that occurs when we inevitably project the disfavored trait onto some social group (as in, ...

Obama and the Trinity United Church of Christ - And Snopes.com
2008-02-22 15:32:00 If you haven't heard the buzz about Obama and the Trinity United Church of Christ... no doubt you will. Apparently the Chicago based church that Obama goes to has caused some controversy in the past and may become a thorn in the presumptive Democratic Nominees side as things move forward. I spent a bit of time googling and researching the Trinity United Church of Christ or TUCC if you will. One of the first sites that came up other than the TUCC site itself was Snopes.com the "urban legend" reference site. I have become increasingly skeptical of Snopes.com when it comes to political questions and I think this one finally put me over the edge. But let's back up here for a second. The issue of the Church has been brought up on some of the Cable News Channels, including Tucker Carlson on MSNBC and Hannity and Colmes on FOX News. The concern for some is that Obama is a member of a church who's mission is to promote the Black Community, has a "non-negotiable commitment to Africa", a...

Is the Trinity Biblical?
2007-12-05 01:10:00 There are many people who are misinformed on what the doctrine of the Trinity is. The purpose of this information is to give a Biblical account of what Christians believe concerning the Trinity doctrine. If you are a Christian my goal is to help clarify and explain the Trinity in a way which you will be edified in your faith and be equipped to share this with others. This is also for those who may be searching for information on what the Trinity is and who want to know if this is truly a Biblical doctrine.When reading the Scriptures the method of study most common is using the New Testament to interpret the Old Testament. What that means is that the Old Testament is revealed through the New Testament Scriptures. The Prophecies of the Messiah to come were fulfilled through Jesus the Christ and that was revealed in the New Testament. When a person looks at the Prophecies in the Old Testament they are understand by what the New Testament Scriptures have revealed and instruct us to beli...

Evidence of the Trinity
2007-09-20 04:58:00 After browsing blogs this past week, I noticed that the issue of the Trinity has been coming up. I am finding, to my horror, that some people are modalists - a belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one person with different offices. This denies Jesus as the Son of God, denies the Holy Spirit that was sent to each of us which in turn implies that the Bible is fallible.Everyone who believes in the Trinity can cite Jesus' baptism as evidence of the Trinity but are there other verses? I'm going to color code verses that apply to each...Father = RedSon = BlueHoly Spirit = GreenIsaiah 61:1: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;" (This is a triadic passage because Jesus applies the text to Himself in Luke 4:18-30)Isaiah 63:8-19: "For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely."

Bible Doctrine :: RE: The Trinity
2007-07-09 19:42:00 Author: Eric Subject: Another Look at the TrinityPosted: Mon Jul 09, 2007 1:42 pm (GMT -4) Another Look at the Trinity The Trinity can be a difficult concept to understand. Some think it is a logical contradiction. Others call it a mystery. Does the Bible teach it? Yes it does, but that doesn't automatically make it easier to comprehend. The Trinity is defined as one God who exists in three eternal, simultaneous, and distinct persons known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Such a definition may suffice for some, but for others this explanation is insufficient. Therefore, to help understand the Trinity better, I offer the following analogy that, I think, is hinted at in Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made." Notice that this verse says God's attributes, power, and nature, can be clearly se...
Bible Doctrine :: The Trinity
2007-07-09 19:36:00 Author: Eric Subject: The TrinityPosted: Mon Jul 09, 2007 1:36 pm (GMT -4) The Wonderful Truth of the Trinity Henry Morris, Ph.D. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (1 John 5:7) The above text is the clearest and most succinct statement of the doctrine of the Trinity in the Bible, but also probably the most controversial verse in the Bible. Many authorities believe it was not in John's original epistle, but was added by some ancient copyist. Consequently, although it is in the King James Bible, most modern English translations omit it. There are others (including this writer) who are convinced it was in the original and should be retained. In any case, the truth of the Trinity is taught in many other passages of the New Testament and does not depend on this particular verse. It is undoubtedly the most distinctive doctrine of the Christian faith. Most religions are either pantheistic (e.g., B...

The first angel is the first person of the Trinity - God the Father; the second, middle angel is God the Son; the third angel is God the Holy Spirit.All three angels are blessing the chalice, in which lies a sacrificed calf, prepared for eating. The sacrifice of the calf signifies the Saviour?s death on the cross, while its preparation as food symbolises the sacrament of the Eucharist.All three angels have staffs in their hand as a symbol of their divine power.

Do we really understand the Trinity?
2007-05-31 01:08:00 Christianity has pushed the idea of God in the form of a trinity for millennia, but people have mostly missed the concept. “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit” - this is the trinity.

Bible Doctrine :: The Trinity
2006-12-15 20:00:02 Author: Eric Subject: The Trinity Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 9:18 pm (GMT -5) The following analogies that represent the Holy Trinity which is explicitly taught in the Bible (Old & New Testaments) are taken from http://www.carm.org/ I took parts from an article entitled "Another Look at the Trinity." It has really helped me appreciate God and all that He is a bit more. Feast and Enjoy!!! The Trinity can be a difficult concept to understand. Some think it is a logical contradiction.

Sean Paul - The Trinity (Mp3 Download)
2006-11-30 10:06:00 Review by Tim Sendra @ allmusic.comSean Paul took the pop world by storm in 2003 with the release of the dancehall pop smash Dutty Rock, placing songs at the top of the charts, videos in heavy rotation, and his face all over the place. He took his time releasing the follow-up, 2005's Trinity, and rather than going even further pop, Paul heads toward a harder, more aggressive sound. The songs sound tailored for dancefloors with little concern for pop airplay and little concern for melody or hooks. This approach works for a song or two, but sooner rather than later the record begins to wear on the listener. Don't bother waiting for a song that isn't hyper-sexualized, tough, and semi-raw or a song that has some of the lightness and space of "Bubble," "Gimme the Light," or "I'm Still in Love with You," because you won't find it. Some of this may come from the shift in producers from big names with poppier backgrounds like Sly & Robbie, the Neptunes, and Steely & Clevie to less...
