The Trinity

The Trinity

The Catholic Encyclopedia states:
“The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion — the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.”

Yet controversy has raged over this doctrinal concept throughout time. Since the Bible says all scripture is given by inspiration from God and profitable for doctrine, we look to God’s inspired scriptures to see how He refers to Himself, His Son, and how they reference the Holy Spirit.
