God in Three Persons Blessed Trinity The attributes of God

Tertullian (c. 160 - c. 225) Against Praxeas Everywhere I hold one substance [divine attributes] in three cohering….All are of one, by unity of substance; while the mystery of the dispensation is still guarded, which distributes the Unity into a Trinity, placing in their order the three, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; three however…not in substance but in form, not in power but in appearance.

GBC Definition of “Trinity” “We believe in one God eternally existing in three equal persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who have the same nature and attributes, but who are distinct in office and activity.”

Critical elements of definition Mysterious Trinity EQUALITY PLURALITY UNITY

Unity OT – Dt. 6:4; Is. 43:10; 45:21-22; Mal. 2:10 NT - Mk. 12:28-29; Jn. 5:44; 1 Cor. 8:4-6; 1 Tim. 1:17; James 2:19

Plurality Plurality of Persons in the OT Plural pronouns and verbs – Gen. 1:26; 3:22; 11:7; Is. 6:8 Distinction of persons – Is. 48:16 Angel of the Lord – Gen. 16:7-13 Father is God – Ps. 89:26 Son is God – Is. 7:14; 9:6; Ezek. 1; Dan. 7:9-14 Spirit is God – Ps. 139:7-12

Plurality Plurality of Persons in the OT Distinction of Persons in the NT – Mt. 3:16-17; Jn. 14:16-18; 16:7,10; 1 Cor. 12:4-6; 2 Cor. 13:14 Diversity of authority – John 8:42; 15:26; 16:13-14; 1 Cor. 15:27-28 Tri-unity, or three-in-oneness – Jn. 10:30; 14:9

Equality Father is God – John 6:27; 1 Pet. 1:2 Son is God – Jn. 1:1; 5:18; 8:58; 9:38; 10:30; 14:9; 20:28; Mt. 1:23; Phil. 2:6-7; Col. 1:15-17; 2:9; Heb. 1:2-3, 6, 8, 10-12 Spirit is God – Acts 5:3-4; 2 Cor. 3:17-18

Analogies Of water and eggs The Church – Jn. 17; 1 Cor. 12 Marriage – Gen. 1-2; Gal. 3:28; 1 Pet. 3:7

Summary God eternally exists as Three real Persons, Father, Son, & Holy Spirit Each Person is fully God (equality) Each person is distinct (plurality) And yet there is just one God (unity)
