![]() TrintyA Poem by Frank![]() A poem of assent on the nature of the being of God![]() Trinity The nature of the trinity is the core doctrine of the Christian faith So much so that even Roman Catholics have it fixed like the cross in their theology Hear O Israel The Lord out God is one ‘e had Yah weh e lo he nu Yah weh yis ra el se ma [Deut 6:4] Interlinear Bible The word ‘Trinity’ is not found in scripture The nearest we find is in Col. 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the deity Hoti en auto katoikei pan to pleroma tes Theotetos [interlinear
Bible " BibleHub.com] Not content to let us sit on this one verse Scripture provides one more, in parallel God was pleased that in Him all the fullness should dwell Col. 1:19 The explanation of why this is found in John 1:14 The Word was made flesh Kai ho Logos sarx egento kai eskenosen en hemin And the Word flesh became and dwelt among us [literal] Logos is The Word " a person " literally: the speaking In the beginning was the Word And the Word was with God And the Word was God He was with God in the beginning Through Him nothing was made that has not been made In Him was light, and that light was the light of all mankind This New Testament is rejected by all faiths other than the Christian
faith The Jews will not accept Him as Lord Neither will the Moslems, although they venerate him as holy They gib at calling Him Lord, not Divine To their credit they will not allow any to blaspheme His
name: Esa There are Christian sects and cults that Will not honour Him as divine Stopping short, the call Him : a god Reminding us he lowered Himself lower than the angels They forget He rose from the grave and ascended up on high Some Christian sects like the Mormons are confused in their
doctrine The Quakers are confused about the person of the Holy Spirit and call him a force, a mere force from God The Greek Orthodox Church also confusing the Holy Spirit, not able to say Lord The Great Schism, they are moving towards the truth now He made the world before He was born He existed before time There was never a time He did not exist in the Father’s womb We cannot understand eternity He was not made, He has always existed with the Father He is the second person yet not lesser than The Holy Spirit proceeds from both he Father rand the Son Neither is He lesser or greater than either In case there is confusion Gen. 1;1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth And the spirit of God… - moving
over the surface of the waters Verse 3 Then God said: let there be light… So there are the three Father - v. 1 Holy Spirit - v2 Logos - v. 3 Again, a parallel verse: Gen. 1:26 Let us make man in our own image The plurality in God Speaking not to angels or to man But within that Trinity of persons In the One God Plm. 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
and ye perish from the way Blessed all they that put their trust in Him What do the Jews make of that? In absolute complete unity Not separate as we are separate Yet, distinct in their persons Not acting on their own, but as one God (head) is not separate God (head) is One Jesus said: I and the Father are one - John. 10:30 He who has seen me has seen the Father " John 14:9 I could go on for hours and days even years Augustine wrote 15 volumes on this one doctrine Athanasius spent his whole life forming his creed consisting of only the definition of the trinity This tiny poem the barest bones on a theology that is divine To study theology is the highest form of worship available to man Lord if they are blind then they cannot see until you lift the scales from their eyes They cannot praise you unless you remove the shackles from the tongues They cannot hear your words unless you allow them to hear They will sit in darkness in the dungeons set by you Until you call them by your great light The light of the world 31 August 2015 © 2015 FrankAuthor's Note
