- Holy Trinity is a mystery that is inaccessible to reason alone...before the incarnation of God's son. CCC-237
- Catechism 266 "their glory is equal, their majesty co-eternal..we worship one God in the trinity and the trinity in unity. substance for father is one, the son's another and Holy spirit's another".
- "The Word"
- He does not seem to be omniscient, everything that is God became a person. Logos is personification of God.
- Jesus is similar - may not know everything the father knows. Greek word for word is logos.. The word of God logos is the son part of Trinity- son is always present in human history.
- He does not seem to be omniscient, everything that is God became a person. Logos is personification of God.
- Criticism of Trinity
- Not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. Some don't believe in Trinity but believe in Bible, believe in Jesus but differ on nature of Jesus.
- Karl Rahner- found it complicated as its pieces didn't fit. Rahner didn't believe in modalism but said he did. Believed son, spirit were just God's way to communicate with people. Also believed father was resurrected son.
- Greek Orthodox - God is not a substance that is not intelligible since God the father is eternal and infinite.
- Jesus' Baptism
- As soon as Jesus was Baptised, he went out of the water...heaven opened.. he saw a spirit of God descending like a dove and lightening on him... voice from heaven "This is my son". Clearest account of Trinity.
- Karl Barth - Believed trinity as the most important teaching. Used trinity as a perfect analogy
