Jesus Christ our
Creator
A biblical defence of the Trinity
by Jonathan
Sarfati
The doctrine of the Trinity
is difficult for some people to understand. But this is what
God has revealed in Scripture about His own Being, so we should
believe it.
The doctrine of the Trinity
states that in the unity of the Godhead there are three eternal
and co-equal Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the same
in essence but distinct in role — three Persons (or three centres
of consciousness) and one Being (see diagram, below) The different
senses of one-ness and three-ness mean that the doctrine is
not self-contradictory. This is similar in principle to saying
that the navy, army, and airforce are three distinct fighting
entities, but are also one armed service. NB: this is not to
suggest that the three persons are ‘parts' of God. Indeed, each
Person has the fullness of the Godhead (see Colossians 2:9).
A better analogy is that space contains three dimensions, yet
the dimensions are not ‘parts' — the concept of ‘space' is meaningless
without all three dimensions.

all-Party body, working throughout Westminster with a clear
vision: to encourage relationships in, with and through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
You will
be pleased to know that there is more Christian activity in
the Palace of Westminster than generally assumed. Contrary to
the media image it is a rather friendly place, and is home for
a large part of the day to some ten thousand people.
