Why Do We Need Trinitarian Theology?

Sep 5, 2024

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about the importance of the doctrine of the Trinity and what it is (and isn’t).

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • Is it fair to say that the Trinity is a bit like water in that it can take three forms: liquid, gas, and solid?
  • How do we define the Trinity?
  • Why is it important to try to understand this doctrine?
  • If the word Trinity isn’t in the bible, why is it a core Christian doctrine?
  • Does the Trinity have a hierarchy?
  • What sets God apart from His creatures?

Helpful Definitions:

  • Trinity: God eternally exists as one essence and three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of which is fully God, yet there is One God.

Resources Mentioned in this Episode:

  • Ephesians 1, Mark 12:30, Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:8-9, Romans 11, Psalm 1:2-3, 1 Samuel 8:5, John 13-17
  • Apostles creed
