thump up from this subscriber - As a born again, Bible believing Christian I believe in the teaching of the Trinity. I am currently teaching my class the doctrine of the Trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. In the first class I told my students I could not explain the Trinity to them but I could show them scriptures that show us the truth of the Trinity. I explained that, as a child of God, I do not understand my spiritual parent - God. A parent can not explain marriage to a 6 year old child. It is beyond their maturity level and understanding. There are many scriptures that support the doctrine of the Trinity. There are two events described in the Bible that present the Trinity very clearly. First, while God the Son (Jesus) was being baptized, God the Holy Spirit descended like a dove upon Him and God the Father said, "This is My Son in whom I am well pleased. There we have three pesons and three separate activities. Second, we have what is called the 'great commission.' Jesus was sending His disciples out into the world to win converts and 'baptize them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.'
That's great that you're teaching this doctrine. I was going to do a video detailing the "great commission" verse, but I want to do more research on it. I'd like to focus on the original Greek word used for "in the name of" because I think I understand it to be the singular form, which means that Jesus is referring to all three persons as one in nature. Is that correct?
that is my teaching, one name for the 3 in the Trinity. I like to use the short form YAH - it is like halleluYAH.....Jesus is Yeshua or as I prefer YAHshua (which is YAH saves)...and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ - so all 3 have the same name in my opinion and I like to say it as YAH. Keep up the good work my brother ! @@SavedSkeptic
The historian Dr. Needham points to the "trinity" resting on the shoulders of the Ante-Nicene Fathers. They were the ones that introduced the "trinity" into the Church. They were not popular, nor were they accepted. The majority of Christians were "Monarchian" according to Tertullian. They believed in only one God, who could not be divided. That is why Constantine's participation turned the world upside down with the New State Law and State Religion. All non-Trinitarians were persecuted from that point on. So, it was not the early Church that taught the Trinity! Your title is misleading.
Being "popular" doesn't prove a doctrine. But regardless a few early Trinitarians include: Ignatius (c. 35-c. 110), Polycarp the bishop of Smyrna (69-156), Athenagoras of Athens (c. 133-190)
@@SavedSkeptic This men were responsible for giving us the "Logos Christology." They taught that John 1:1 (the Logos) was the Greek Logos of Philo of Alexandria.
