ASPACIO DE LOLA SUMALINOG RANULO, T COMPE CHRISTIANITY IS MONOTHEISTIC Christians believe in one GOD, therefore Christianity is a monotheistic religion. God is seen as the creator and maintainer of the universe, and is believed to be omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (all-present) and omnibenevolent (all- good). God is sacred, moral, unchangeable, compassionate, graceful and timeless. THE HOLY TRINITY Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, which means that GOD is composed of three persons: GOD the Father, the Son (through Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Together, these three persons are sometimes called the Godhead, although there is no single term in use in Scripture to denote the unified Godhead. In the words of the Athanasian Creed, an early statement of Christian belief, "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God". They are distinct from another: the Father has no source, the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father. Though distinct, the three persons cannot be divided from one another in being or in operation. THE HOLY TRINITY This doctrine of the Holy Trinity was affirmed at the Council of Nicea in 25 CE where it is agreed upon that the Son has the same substance with the Father, therefore is both eternal. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity was Christianity’s way to end the controversy generated by Arianism, a teaching by Arius which claimed that Jesus Christ was not actually GOD. The concept of the Holy Trinity was never mentioned in the Old Testament. The New Testament, although it never explicitly mentioned the term, gives some references to it. In Matthew 28:19, it is stated that: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” In 2 Corinthians 13:1: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of GOD and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” TERTULLIAN Tertullian was a prolific early Christian author from Carthage in the Roman province of Africa. he was the first Christian author to produce an extensive corpus of Latin Christian literature. He was an early Christian apologist and a polemicist against heresy, including contemporary Christian Gnosticism. Tertullian has been called "the father of Latin Christianity" and "the founder of Western theology.“ Though conservative in his worldview, Tertullian originated new theological concepts and advanced the development of early Church doctrine. He is perhaps most famous for being the first writer in Latin known to use the term trinity. Several of his teachings on issues such as the clear subordination of the Son and Spirit to the Father. TERTULLIAN According to Tertullian, the Holy Trinity has three persons and maintains the distinction of the Son from the Father as the unoriginate God, and the Spirit from both the Father and the Son.
"These three are one substance, not one person; and it is said, 'I and my Father are one' in respect not of the singularity of number but the unity of the substance." The very names "Father" and "Son" indicate the distinction of personality. The Father is one, the Son is another, and the Spirit is another, and yet in defending the unity of God, he says the Son is not other” HOLY TRINITY EXCEPTIONS For some Christians, the concept of the Holy Trinity is not easy to understand. Although it is central to most Christians, some Christian Churches rejected it, such as The Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Jehova’s Witnesses, Christian Scientists, Unitarians, The Unification Church, the Christadelphians, and Oneness Pentacostals, among others.
