The Trinity

Contributed by Timothy Mills on Jul 14, 2017

The Bible does not spell out “Trinity.” The idea of the Trinity is so ingrained in Christianity that it is nowhere described, but assumed in Scripture. Our text, for example, presents the Trinity as a fact, without explanation.

In our text Matthew 28:19, the 3 persons are presented, not argued. Mark 1:9-11 does the same thing. This is a core doctrine which no one can deny and still be called “Christian.” It’s not something that must be understood to be saved; rather, it is something that cannot be denied in full ...read more

Those who refuse the light are left under judicial blindness.

GROWING PERCEPTIONS OF CHRIST. John 9:35-41. We have been talking about the man born blind, and how Jesus had healed him.
