"Why You Should Believe in the Trinity: An Answer to Jehovah's Witnesses" published by Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Michigan. As Robert Bowman states in his book, "Trinitarians (people who believe in the Trinity) hold very firmly and without compromise to belief in one God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are NOT three Gods (Mormons, who believe that they are three Gods, claim to believe in the Trinity but make it very clear that they reject the traditional doctrine of the Trinity in any form). The Athanasian Creed makes this point repeatedly: "And yet they are not three Gods, but one God ... So we are forbidden by the universal faith to say, there are three Gods or three Lords." The God worshipped by trinitarians is the one and only God; they recognize no other gods at all. Jesus is not another god alongside God: he is God, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit." This radio broadcast includes an actual debate with an anti-Trinitarian advocate during the second half of the show.
The Bible clearly teaches the doctrine of the Trinity from start to finish. Without going into great detail here, a few examples:
1. Jesus Christ is God Almighty: John 1:1, John 5:18, 23, John 8:58 (cross reference to Exodus 3:14), John 10:30-33, John 17:5, John 20:28, Hebrews 1:8, Matthew 1:23, Colossians 2:9, Romans 9:5, etc.
2. The Doctrine of the Trinity: The Incarnation of Jesus - Luke 1:35, The Baptism of Jesus - Matthew 3:16-17, The Great Commission - Matthew 28:19, The Resurrection of Jesus - Acts 3:26, 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (by the Father), John 2:19-21, John 10:18 (by the Son), Romans 8:11, 1 Peter 3:18 (by the Holy Spirit); Creation of the World - Psalm 100:3. |
