| | Why be a Trinitarian? |
 | | Trinitarians believe that Jesus' communication with the Father, namely His prayers, compels us to conclude that the deity of the Father and the deity of the Son are distinct persons in the Godhead. | | | In Trinitarian theology God the Son is God, He does not have a God. | | | While the Trinitarian model can account for the distinctions in the NT, it cannot account for the lack of such in the OT, nor the failure of the OT to mention "God the Son" (other than in prophetic passages), nor the non-existence of the Father-Son terminology before the incarnation. |

| | THREE DIVINE ONENESSES: Trinitarian oneness, Christological oneness, Christian oneness |
| | Trinitarian oneness explains the oneness of the three persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the same Being of the one God. | | | The Trinitarian oneness is the foundation of all divine onenesses. | | | The Trinitarian discussions affirmed that the eternal Son of God, the Word (Logos) of God, the primary agency of God's Self-revelation, was the co-equal, co-essential, and co-eternal second person of the Triune Godhead. |

| | Books in Review: A Trinitarian Synthesis |
| | Jenson’s thesis that serious Christian theology has to be trinitarian and that its treatment of the trinitarian life of God has to encompass everything else—creation, Church, and the eschatological future—corresponds to a growing consensus among the more thoughtful of contemporary theologians. | | | Here again, Jenson establishes a connection with the trinitarian communion, in which Christians now participate, and with the kingdom of God that will be the full and comprehensive realization of humanity’s communion in the very life of the triune God. | | | This understanding includes sacramental communion with Jesus, especially in baptism and eucharist, but also communion among all the members of the Church, who participate in that communion with Jesus, as well as the local congregations that participate in the one body of Christ, the universal Church. |

| | The Unitarian/Trinitarian Wars (No. 268) |
| | Trinitarians accuse Arians of holding that the Spirit was a creation of the son, when in fact that is the doctrine of Filioque advanced from the Council of Toledo, by the Catholics themselves in the sixth century. | | | Trinitarians incorrectly and dishonestly label the creed as Arianism, to give the impression that their doctrine is older and this doctrine originated with Arius in the fourth century. | | | The Binitarians were a new faction that had a new and developed doctrine based on the pagan theology of the Triune God, which came in from the worship of Attis in Rome and Adonis among the Greeks. |

| | Is Trinitarian-Bashing Right? |
| | Trinitarians do not claim to believe in three separate Gods, but in one God (substance) consisting of three distinct, but unified persons. | | | When discussing the Godhead, many of the students' comments revealed a Oneness understanding of God, or revealed their belief in three separate Gods. | | | They have always heard the word "Trinity" and believe that it is part of the Christian gospel. |

Such trinitarian language has never been free of controversy. | | | Every dimension of Christian living is colored by the orthodox decision to regard the physical body, family, children, commerce and government as part of the good creation in which loyalty to God's redeeming purpose encourages us to participate faithfully. |

| | Not all religions are consistent in the way they deal with the problem of the One and the Many, especially syncretistic religions like Buddhism and Hinduism may be confusing. | | | But all religions do deal with the problem, and in all religions that do not confess the Trinitarian God, contradictions appear which reveal the basic defects of that religion, defects that have profound philosophical and ethical consequences. | | | If we know that nothing can be more important for our understanding of Christianity itself than a deep appreciation of the meaning of the Trinity, then clearly we should also be persuaded that no truth could be more important for a Christian approach to the comparative study of religion. |

| | It is therefore appropriate that the members of the Trinitarian family, firmly rooted in the project of their founder, St John of Matha, and living the same charism, should gather in a "General Assembly" to reflect together on their common problems and possible solutions on the threshold of the new millennium. | | | In particular, you have thought of establishing an international organization of the Trinitarian family for intervening more effectively in the defence of the persecuted or of those suffering discrimination for their religious faith or for fidelity to their conscience or to Gospel values. | | | There are also the women's Secular Institute of Trinitarian Oblates and the Secular Trinitarian Order, as well as confraternities and many other lay Trinitarian associations that witness in the world to the secular dimension of the Trinitarian spirit. |

| | THE EVOLUTION OF TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY |
| | The New Testament however does not present the later developments of Trinitarian theology; in exchange it announces the event of the communication from God to mankind about the sending of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, that also culminates in clear Trinitarian formulations. | | | The faith of the apostles and that of the first generations of Christians had always refused to reduce the meaning of the sending of the Son made Man to "myths", to limit themselves to a "moral" or "metaphoric" interpretation of the filiation of Jesus Christ and consequently of the adoptive filiation offered to mankind. | | | Following these routes Trinitarian theology is called upon to offer great help for life in the faith. |

| | Process Philosophy and Trinitarian Theology |
| | What seems to be lacking in his exposition is an explicit equation between process in God and community, such that the community life of the three divine persons is understood to be a process, partly identical with the process of human history but also partly distinct from it. | | | Only thus, as I see it, can one be faithful to both traditional Trinitarian theology and to process thought (at least in an extended sense of the term). | | | Furthermore, these three principles can be roughly correlated with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of traditional Trinitarian belief. |

| | The majority of the bishops at the council of Nicea believed in what is called subordinationism, which is a belief that Jesus Christ is subordinate to God the Father, not coequal, not coeternal, and not God the Son. | | | The historical record shows that modern Christian trinitarian beliefs were not formulated until about 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ, but in pagan religions trinitarian beliefs date back to ancient Greece, Egypt, Babylon, and others, thousands of years before Jesus Christ. | | | This makes Jesus Christ substantially different from God, which means he cannot be of one-substance with God as the trinitarians believe. |

| | Direction: God-Language and Gender: Some Trinitarian Reflections |
| | In comparison to the trinitarian theology of Robert Jenson, to whom Bloesch refers in a footnote, his own trinitarianism can be faulted for giving precedence to relations of origin within the Trinity that result in an eclipse of the Spirit as the eschatological goal. | | | Their unity does not lie in the one lordship of God; it is found in the unity of their tri-unity. | | | However, this argument misses the purpose of Nicaea which was to establish the full equality of the Son with the Father such that they are both “equally worshipped and equally adored.” Any attempt to establish a hierarchy among the persons of the Trinity does not permit their equal worship. |

| | A number of observations from Bible-based sources reveal that the Trinitarian formula is an erroneous teaching of the Church, a doctrine that eventually crept into the evangel of Matthew. | | | Notice that the pagan converts, upon being baptized for forgiveness of sins, voluntarily dip themselves three times as a carryover from the trinitarian influence of their previous heathen beliefs. | | | It is not in harmony with other Scriptural teachings, nor do ANY of the narratives on baptism follow this trinitarian practice. |
