Deep dives

Understanding Divine Concord

The nature of the Trinity emphasizes the essential agreement among the three persons of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This harmony arises from their shared attributes of omniscience, moral perfection, and mutual love, which eliminates the possibility of disagreement. According to Richard Swinburne's argument, since all three persons are all-knowing, they inherently share the same understanding of reality and cannot contradict one another in their wills or actions. Further, the moral goodness of each person precludes any conflict, as their intentions and desires align perfectly, ensuring they act in unison.
