Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss the Trinity, looking at common misunderstandings and what is at stake if we do not properly understand this foundational doctrine of Christian faith. They discuss why seeing God’s Triune nature provokes us to deeper worship, obedience, and mission. “The trinity filled my heart full of heartfelt joy and I knew that all eternity was like this for those who attain heaven for the trinity is God and God the trinity the trinity is our maker and keeper our eternal love joy and bliss all through our Lord Jesus Christ” Julian of Norwich
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- When people start reflecting on the Trinity they start getting fearful that maybe all the language they have had to understand and talk about God was wrong. Is that true?
- What do you often find as the biggest obstacle to accurate understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity?
- What is the simplest way we can state the doctrine of the Trinity?
- Why does a proper understanding of the Trinity matter?
- How can there be one God and three gods?
- But isn’t speculation on the Trinity irreverent, isn’t God incomprehensible, so how could we possibly understand and why should we even try?
- How does seeing God’s Triune nature provoke us to deeper worship, obedience, and mission?
- What are some of the most common misunderstandings (heresies) of the Trinity? And, why are they problematic?
Helpful Definitions:
- Trinitarianism: God eternally exists as one God, and three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.
