The Trinity, What is it?

What is the Trinity?

God through holy scriptures reveals Himself as One God in three persons. The Catholic Church holds this as a mystery of faith. Why is it important to believe this in order to be saved? The Trinity is the Doctrine of God and reveals that Jesus is just not the Son of God, but also equally God in essence and substance, in the incarnation and His eternality. Equally the Holy Spirit is God and all three are equal and co-exist as one substance. God is one substance but three equal persons, and all three distinct persons have relationship with each other in the Godhead. The Father reveals the Son, and the Son is One with the Father. The Spirit discloses the things of the Son, and regenerates the sinner.

Through ongoing repentance and renewal of our spirits, the Holy Spirit enables us to continue to believe and have peace. With our cooperation with the indwelling Spirit we are renewed daily to be like Christ, and live the beatitudes. The Trinity is One Substance and all three parts exist equally within each other. The Father contains the Son, the Son contains the Father, and the Holy Ghost contains the Father and the Son. All three contain each other, and coexist as equals in One substance, that being God or the Trinity. Christianity doesn't teach three gods, God is One substance containing three distinct persons, who all related to each other as One God. The Trinity exists in time, and outside of time in eternity. The Trinity is the first Cause and existed before time and Creation. This is Mike.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
