Episode notes
God's Love Implies the Trinity
- God is love by nature, and this implies He is three persons in one Godhead to express love among Himself.
- This dynamic, mutual love within the Trinity avoids God being self-absorbed or dependent on creation for love.
Unitarian God Lacks Genuine Love
- A Unitarian God who is love but alone is like someone dressed up with nowhere to go.
- God needs no created beings to be complete or loving, unlike the Unitarian concept which makes God dependent on creation.
Marriage Reflects Divine Love
- Human love in marriage reflects the eternal love within the Trinity.
- The natural extension of love between a man and woman to bearing children mirrors God's dynamic love internally.
