To discuss the Trinity and how it relates to everyday life.
Introduction
- Welcome to the Simple Theologians

- Show topic intro: The Trinity is the most mysterious of all doctrines. “If you seek to understand it you will lose your mind, if you deny it you will lose your soul.” “We don’t know how it is, just that it is.”
The Statement of the Doctrine
- “Trinity” is not a word found in the Bible but it’s nature is revealed.
- “The real mystery of the Trinity consists in this that each one of the persons possesses the whole of the divine essence, and that this has no existence outside of and apart from the persons.” Berkhof
