Trinity Sunday
1)
How would you describe the Trinity? If a non-Christian asked you
to explain it would you be able to describe the Trinity accurately?
2)
Deut. 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”
Exodus 20:3 NLT, “You must not have any other god but me.”
“It (or There) is not to be to you (singular) other gods in my
Presence."
3)
Modalism espouses that God is not 3 distinct persons but rather
God shows himself in 3 distinct forms as perceived by the believer.
4)
Arianism comes from a Christian priest born in 250 AD by the name
of Arius who believed that because there was a point in time when Jesus was
born, both the Son and the Spirit were creations of the Father and not one
with the Father himself.
5)
John 8:58, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
God said to Moses in Exodus 3, “I am who I am. This is what you
are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you…this is my name
forever.’”
6)
Revelation 19:10, “Then I fell down at his feet to worship him,
but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and
your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only
God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”
7)
In Philippians 2:6, “being in very nature, God, [or literally in
the form of God subsisting, existing, or to be] he did not consider equality
with God as something to be exploited…”
8)
“begotten of the Father from all eternity, God from God, Light
from Light, Very God from Very God, begotten not made being of one substance
with the Father by whom all things were made.”
9)
Genesis 1:1-2 we read, “In the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the
surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
10) Monday
