PRESENTATION OF THE

DOCTRINE OF TRINITY

By Vladimir Susic


2/13

WHO ARE THE BELIEVERS IN THIS

DOCTRINE

Well,of course,the first followers of Christ,his apostles,the disciples of

his apostles and the early Chruch,when we look at Todays

Denominations,we see that over 9! of those who claim to "e

Christian "elieve in this doctrine,# will list some of the most attended

Chruches in the World$

The Catholic Church

The %astern &rthodo' Church(#ncludin) the Copts*

+ssyrian Church

ost -rotestant denominations (&f course,not all of The Churches are listed here*

#n this presentation # will also seek to show why Trinitarian

interpretation of The Scripture is the only valid one$


3/13

The Statement of Belief

The Statement of The Belief in The Trinity is found

in The .iceno/Constantinopolean Creed and the

+thanasian Creed$

We can see some the Chruch 0athers statin) the

Belief ,like for e'ample 1ustin The artyr in 234

+$D$ #)natius too,who is an +postolic 0ather,a

disciple of 1ohn,in 245 +$D$

#t was defended at the Council of .icea in 673 +$D$

a)ainst the +rian heresy,"ut more on that later$

Short Definition

Since "oth of the Creeds stated in the previous

slide are way too lon) to post,# will sum it up in

a very short sentence,then e'plain each part of

it$

There is one 8od in whom are three eternal,

distinct, simultaneously e'istin) persons//the

0ather, the Son (1esus Christ*, and the oly

Spirit$ +ll three are the one 8od, coeternal,

coe:ual$

6/13

Exlanation Part "

These 6 persons are +lways in perfect +)reement,for

they are indeed &ne 8od$

.ei)hter of these persons is older than another,Theyhave all e'isted for eternity,none of Them are mi)htier

than +nother,they are a)ain,the same +lmi)hty 8od$

owever one person mi)ht choose to su"mit itself to

another in perfect a)reement so that an +ction can "e

performed,for e'ample,1esus came in the world as a

uman and therefore chose,as a perfect human

should,to su"mit to the 0ather$

Ariani#m&Sa'elliani#m an( )h* the#e

(o$trine# are in+ali( The "elief in the Trinity must "e distincted from +rianism,Semi/+rianism

and Sa"ellianism,also known as &neness -entacostalism$

+rianism is .&T T& B% C&.0>S%D with Semi/+rianism,the "elief that1Ws hold onto$

+rians "elieve that There are 6 Divine -ersons of &ne 8od,The 0ather

The Son and The oly Spirit,however The 0ather and The Son,and

perhaps even the Spirit accordin) to some are not omousias(of thesame nature* "ut omou#sias(of similar nature* They +lso "elieve that at

one point in time The Son (and a)ain,The oly Spirit accordin) to some

+rians* were created and Then 8od created the eavens and The

%arth$


8/13

Ariani#m%INVALID .ot only that this doctrine is a plain insult to our %ternal Aord 1esus Christ and The oly Spirit "ut is also plain and

simple -olytheism$

ou cannot claim that there e'ist one 8od if that 8od is not one Divine Spirit (1ohn ;


9/13

Semi Ariani#m%Belief Semi +rians "elieve that 0ather is the only person that is W,they

"elieve that The S is not a person "ut a manifestation of power(TheSs personhood will "e defended later* of The 0ather and that The

Son is not 8od "ut a first created "ein) of 8od who then created all

thin)s$ They are an offshoot of +rianism$

They have )i)antic pro"lems in claimin) this$

Christ clearly said in 1ohn

Semi Ariani#m%INVALID&De+a#tatin,

Ref-tation The devastatin) refutation of Semi +rianism comes from #saiah ;;


11/13

Sa'elliani#m%INVALID Sa"ellianism as known to the %arly Chruch 0athers and &neness -entacostalism as known to us today

is a "elief that 6 -ersons of The Trinity,The 0ather,The Son and The oly Spirit,are not in fact 6 persons

"ut The Same person(mind* of &ne 8od that only manifests itself in 6 different 0orms$

This "elief was decimated "y The %arly Chruch 0ather Tretullian in his ?+)ainst -ra'eas@$

#t is refuted plainly in the Bi"le where we have even Before The Creation,7 persons facin)

eachother,remem"er,Their "elief is that &.% -%S&.,takes different forms when needed,for humans$

1ohn 2


12/13

.Bi'li$al /nitariani#m0

These people "elieve that 0ather is &nly -erson that is 8od,that 1esus is Gust an oridinary human and that S is an active

force of The 0ather and not a -erson imself$

+psolutely "lasphemous$

0irst lets prove that S is a person$
