However, the real mystery is that it took so long for Christianity even to decide that there is a Holy Trinity, but perhaps this is because there was no scriptural support for the Trinity. The earliest known proponent of the Holy Trinity was Tertullian, a Latin theologian who wrote in the early third century. The new concept gradually gained adherents throughout the third century but also faced opposition, particularly from Arius, a popular Libyan priest at the beginning of the fourth century. The Trinity was adopted as Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but the Church remained divided until Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Trinity a requirement for all Christians, around 380 CE. The history of the Holy Spirit shows it to be a creation of men, and a creation of men can never be beyond comprehension.
The Blessed Trinity is supposedly supported by the 'Johannine Comma', 1 John 5:7-8 ("For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."), but that passage was never in the early Greek manuscripts. It appeared in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.
The Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is part of the Trinity (Godhead). The Holy Spirit was involved in creation just as rest of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit also put fire on the disciples but they were not burning. The Holy Spirit is one part of the Trinity, there are two more. There is Jehovah (God the Father) and Jesus ( God the Son).
The Orthodox Church believes that the Holy Trinity is God. The Holy Trinity is made up of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These are the Three Persons of the One God. Just like our body has three parts: the head, the torso, and the limbs, but it is one body. So does the Trinty have Three Persons but it is One God.
Christians have traditionally believed in the Holy Trinity, that is, that God is three distinct Persons who share the Divine Essence (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The unitarians deny God's Trinity, and claim that he is just one person.
None. All three parts of the trinity are equally important. It sometimes appears that the Father is above the Son and the Holy Spirit, for the Son (in His humanity) submits to His will and the Holy Spirit is told only "what He hears", but that is just a part of their role. Because they're united into one being, one is not truly the head of another. This sounds confusing, I'm sure, but the cool thing about the trinity is that it's beyond our understanding in a similar way as God's love and power. I recommend reading "Know What You Believe" by Paul E Little because he explains the trinity well in a way we can comprehend =) Hope this helps!! =)
No way, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are just different forms of the same God. Trinity= Father+Son(Jesus)+ Holy Spirit. Jesus was not possessed by anyone or anything.
"The Trinity is a mystery that is to be experienced, not just understood." "In the Trinity, the Father is not greater than the Son, nor the Son greater than the Holy Spirit." "The Trinity is a unity in which there is equality of substance and harmony of relation."
No. God is the Trinity. The Trinity is formed by The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. These are the three different personalities God is called in the Bible, but they are all just different forms that God is shown in. ans: Son = us(all living body) =Vishnu Father= Pure soul and Body= Shiva Holy Spirit = Brhma
The Trinity: God (the father); Jesus; Holy Spirit then arguably Peter James the Just
The trinity is not found in Judaism. From the Jewish perspective, the concept of the trinity renders Christianity to be a not true form of monotheism. This is just one of countless tenets that separates Christianity from Judaism.
Father created EVERYTHING and you. Son died in your place, because you are not without sin. He willingly served as the sacrifice. Holy Spirit lives within you, if you are a believer in Christ ,to comfort and guide you.
The core catholic beliefs are just the main beliefs of Catholics. Here are some examples: -The Bible - The sacraments - the Holy Trinity Hope this helps :D
Jesus is not just a prophet is is part of the trinity; Father (God), Jesus (son), and the Holy Spirit. God sent His son to earth in the form of a man but Jesus is Lord and Savior. He was prophetic in His teachings.
