Trinity

by Rose Publishing

The Trinity is one of the most basic doctrines in Christianity—and one of the key doctrines that separates Christianity from other religions. This eBook on The Trinity explains the Trinity in clear, easy-to-understand terms and illustrations. The Trinity gives dozens of Scriptures and background documentation that supports the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God, not three names for the same Person. This bestseller also answers misunderstandings that cults and other religions may have.The Trinity pamphlet helps believers know what they believe and why they believe it about this critical Christian doctrine. With its rich, well-research information, the pamphlet addresses topics such as–What Christians believe about the TrinityThe Trinity and the BibleMisunderstandings about the TrinityHow early Christians dealt with misunderstandingsThe early Church and the CreedsImportant Bible verses and referencesThe pamphlet provides interesting facts about the history of the Trinity, for example:More than 60 New Testament Bible passages mention the three Persons together.Theophilus, sixth bishop of Antioch, Syria, is the first person known to have used the word "Trinity" in his work, Refutation of Autolycus (AD 168). It's probably not surprising that a doctrine that's as critical as the Trinity is at the center of numerous misunderstandings. For instance, God is not, 1+1+1=3; God is 1x1x1=1. The Trinity pamphlet addresses six of the most common Trinity misunderstandings:Misunderstanding 1: "The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible; it is a belief made up by 4th century Christians."Misunderstanding 2: "Christians believe there are three Gods."Misunderstanding 3: "Jesus is not God."Misunderstanding 4: "Jesus is a lesser God than the Father."Misunderstanding 5: "The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are just different titles for Jesus, or three different ways that God has revealed himself."Misunderstanding 6: "Jesus wasn’t really fully God and fully man."The Trinity pamphlet reveals how early Christians addressed these misunderstandings through some of the earliest statements of faith including:The Apostles' Creed written in the second centuryThe Nicene Creed AD 325Athanasian Creed written c. AD 400Chalcedoian Creed written in AD 451The pamphlet includes the full text of each of these four creeds.One of the most powerful sections of the pamphlet includes a chart that shows that God and Jesus Christ share10 key traits that are mentioned in the Old Testament as applying to no-one but God. Another chart shows seven Divine attributes shared by Father, Son and Holy Spirit with Scripture references for each.

A Simple, Yet Thorough Resource for Christians

This is a simple yet thorough book defending the truth of the Holy Trinity. It's brief (and therefore not long winded) and gets straight to the point of limning that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Is One God and not three gods and how Lord Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man, with plenty of well-chosen Scriptural evidence. The addition of the Creeds is definitely appreciated as well. For what it is (not comparing it to more scholarly texts) I'd say it's an excellent resource. Thanks Rose Publishing, may God continue to bless your ministry!
