Moon on twinity1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() The Messiah is called "Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Some Christians see this verse as meaning the Messiah will represent the Trinity on earth. One of these is the prophecy about the Messiah in Isaiah 9. The Old Testament has been interpreted as referring to the Trinity in many places. There have been some different understandings of the Trinity among Christian theologians and denominations: filioque, eternal functional subordination, subordinationism and social trinitarianism. The doctrine of the Trinity was first formulated among the early Christians and fathers of the Church as they attempted to understand the relationship between Jesus and God in their scriptural documents and prior traditions. While the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament, the New Testament possesses a triadic understanding of God and contains a number of Trinitarian formulas. Christian nontrinitarian positions include Unitarianism, Binitarianism and Modalism. ![]() This doctrine is called Trinitarianism and its adherents are called Trinitarians, while its opponents are called antitrinitarians or nontrinitarians. Thus, the entire process of creation and grace is viewed as a single shared action of the three divine persons, in which each person manifests the attributes unique to them in the Trinity, thereby proving that everything comes "from the Father," "through the Son," and "in the Holy Spirit." This expresses at once their distinction and their indissoluble unity. In this context, one essence/nature defines what God is, while the three persons define who God is. As the Fourth Lateran Council declared, it is the Father who begets, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity ( Latin: Trinitas, lit.'triad', from Latin: trinus 'threefold') is the central doctrine concerning the nature of God in most Christian churches, which defines one God existing in three coequal, coeternal, consubstantial divine persons: God the Father, God the Son ( Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons (hypostases) sharing one essence/substance/nature ( homoousion). ![]()
