I was told with amusement that when he asked the Iman if he believed in the Trinity; “He became so upset he almost shook the podium.” |

A careful examination of the New Testament will show that when the word “God” is used, the authors are referring to God the Father. The word “Lord” is used to designate the Messiah Jesus. A similar effort must be made to affirm the singularity of God the Father in order to remove the barriers that hinder Christians from reaching Jews and Muslims with the gospel. Christians are not polytheists. When the scriptures are the sole source of our definitions of the Three, the fact is assured for our benefit, and the benefit of all those we have alienated; those precious souls that Jesus gave His life to save. Therefore, a proper understanding of the Trinity is essential. And when we have a thorough understanding of how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are revealed in the Word of God, then we will understand Jesus’ divinity, how the Three are unified, and how it all relates to the salvation that Jesus came to give mankind. My book, “Understanding the Trinity from the Scriptures – It’s all about God’s Love for You,” is an easy to understand explanation of the Three that hopefully will clarify any misunderstandings and lead others into the salvation that is only found in the Messiah Jesus.
