CHAPTER 1
"The Trinity Defined"


  In order to attain an in-depth understanding of the “unity in plurality,” two words need first to be defined:



             1. Omniscience – Only God is All Knowing.

             2. Omnipotence – Only God is All Powerful.

             3. Omnipresence – Only God exists Simultaneously in All Places.

             4. Eternalness – Only God has No Beginning, and No End.

             5. Holiness – Only God exists Outside of Creation.

   When studying the totality of the volumes of scripture, we find that there are only 3 Persons revealed in them with the required characteristics that mandate identification as God.

   THE FATHER

        1. Intellect – I Chronicles 28:9

        2. Emotion – John 3:16

        3. Will – Matthew 12:50


        1. Omniscience – I John 3:20

        2. Omnipotence – I Chronicles 29:12

        3. Omnipresence – Proverbs 15:3

        4. Eternalness – Psalms 90:2

        5. Holiness – John 17:11

   THE WORD

        1. Intellect – I Corinthians 2:16

        2. Emotion – John 11:35, 36

        3. Will – Matthew 28:18-20


        1. Omniscience – John 16:30

        2. Omnipotence – Matthew 28:18

        3. Omnipresence – Acts 17:27

        4. Eternalness – John 1:1-3

        5. Holiness – mark 1:24

   THE HOLY SPIRIT

        1. Intellect – I Corinthians 2:12-14

        2. Emotion – Ephesians 4:30

        3. Will – Acts 16:6, 7


        1. Omniscience – I Corinthians 2:9-11

        2. Omnipotence – Romans 15:13, 19

        3. Omnipresence – Psalms 139:7

        4. Eternalness – Hebrews 9:14

        5. Holiness – John 14:26

And these THREE PERSONS are called GOD in scripture:


   Although these three  persons are identified as God, this in no way implies three gods, as is the misapprehension of some. Instead, it implies a “TRI-UNITY.” These three, although separate persons, are in absolute unity. Thus, these THREE are ONE.
