Why we believe in the trinity
•
1 like•167 views
The document discusses why Christians believe in the Trinity despite the term not being found in the Bible. It summarizes that the Trinity is inherently biblical as the triune nature of God was revealed implicitly in the Old Testament and explicitly in the New Testament. The doctrine of the Trinity is based on two realities: there is one God, and the one God has eternally existed as three distinct persons - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who are each fully God. The document provides scriptural support for these realities and concludes that we embrace the Trinity because God has revealed himself as triune in his word.

3. Ephesians 2; 1-10-“Saved By Grace Through Faith”
This passage from Ephesians 2:1-10 describes how all people are spiritually dead due to sin and living according to worldly and satanic influences.

It summarizes that sinners are saved from wrath by God's grace through faith in Christ, not works, and are saved to serve God according to His revealed will.

1 is enough! 2
The document discusses how Ephesians 4:1-6 establishes that one is enough in certain areas of faith according to God's word. It examines how there is one body (the church), one Spirit (the Holy Spirit), one hope (of heaven), one Lord (Jesus Christ), one faith, one baptism (water baptism), and one God (the Father). It argues that any other additions in these areas go against scripture and that the spiritual provisions God has given are enough on their own without human additions.
God the Father
The document discusses what the Bible teaches about God the Father. It provides several names used to refer to God the Father, including Lord, God, Father, Almighty, and Jehovah. It lists characteristics of God the Father, such as being above all, the final judge, communicating to man through words, and being both a jealous and loving God. The document presents evidence of God the Father from Adam to Moses, from Moses to the cross through prophets, and from Christ to the end of time. It emphasizes the need to know and obey God the Father based on his guidance in scripture.
Rock of refuge
This document discusses developing a faith in Christ as our rock of refuge and strength. It encourages trusting in God's righteousness and seeking His help during storms. We should confess Christ as our rock and fortress, dedicate our lives to Him without selfishness, and know that His teachings are our rock of protection. God is able to make things happen, help us, and work all things for good, even if our cup of trouble is not taken away. We should commit our spirit totally to God, as Jesus committed Himself to the Father. Our times are in God's hands, so we should live for Jesus and look to Him for life and eternal life through His mercies. The document concludes by asking if we have made Jesus
04 escape from the world
This document discusses five things that can help avoid being influenced by the harmful habits of the world:
1) Thinking of Christ by bringing thoughts into obedience to him and focusing on things that are true, noble, just, pure, and praiseworthy.
2) Knowing Christ better through studying the Bible to know his truth, works, and teachings in order to entrust one's life to him.
3) Prayer as essential communication with Christ through faith, continual prayer, and according to God's will.
4) Seeking God's wisdom in fearing him and observing his law to correctly understand worldly dangers.
5) Being guided by the Holy Spirit to distinguish truth from error and empowering one
04 the biblical worldview
This document outlines and compares theistic and atheistic worldviews. It discusses that the biblical worldview is based on the existence of God as creator and that He interacts with His creation. The biblical worldview teaches that God created the universe in six days, that humans were created with a purpose to live with God forever, and that God has a plan of redemption for humanity through Jesus. In contrast, an atheistic worldview believes the universe exists without God and that life has no meaning or purpose. The document argues that the biblical doctrines and moral laws only make sense under a theistic worldview where God exists as creator and redeemer.
Before we go 4
The document discusses the laying on of hands in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, it was used to impart blessings, for sacrifices, in witness bearing, and to set Levi apart. In the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles used it for healing, ordaining elders and ministers, sending Barnabas and Saul, and imparting the Holy Spirit. Today, it can be used to show approval for service and when praying for blessings and protection. The overall message is that laying on hands was used historically in the Bible to transfer spiritual gifts but that practice has ceased as the church has matured.
Amazing Bible Facts and Statistics
The document provides various facts and statistics about the Bible. It details that the Bible contains 66 books, over 1,189 chapters, and 31,101 verses. It also notes some of the longest and shortest elements, such as the longest book being Psalms and shortest book being 3 John. Additional statistics provided include the number of words, letters, commands, prophecies, and times certain words appear. Both Old and New Testaments are broken down by their respective numbers of books, chapters, verses and other details.
Sabbath school lesson 12, 2nd quarter of 2017
Peter encourages believers to live holy lives as they wait for Christ's return. Some will doubt and deny that Christ will return, living according to their desires. However, God's perspective is different - what seems a long time to humans is brief to God. Believers should hasten Christ's return by preaching the gospel and living godly lives. Living in this way finds them at peace when Christ returns as a thief in the night. Believers are warned not to make excuses for sinning or be influenced by error, but to grow in grace through Christ.
What It Means to Be A Christian
The document lists the times of services on Sundays and Wednesdays at a church: Sunday Bible class at 9:30am, Sunday worship at 10:30am, and Wednesday Bible class at 7pm.

It discusses the Holy Spirit as a continuing teacher after Jesus' ascension, guiding believers into truth. The overall goal of education discussed is the restoration of the image of God in humanity.
03 the law as teacher
The document discusses the purpose and functions of God's law. It explains that the law teaches us how to fear God, points out sin, and leads us to Christ. It also discusses how the law makes us prosperous by teaching us how to live according to God's instructions. While keeping the law, some people like Joshua and Hezekiah prospered, others like John the Baptist faced difficulties and persecution. Jesus is presented as the perfect example of obeying God's law, keeping it fully throughout his life. The document stresses the importance of Christians walking as Jesus walked by obeying God's law out of faith and love.
08 unity in faith
This document discusses the unifying doctrines of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

These doctrines unite Adventists worldwide in their common beliefs and mission to spread the gospel message.

The document compares and contrasts the old and new covenants between God and His people. While there are elements that remain the same like the author (God), law, and relationship, the new covenant fulfills the promises of the old with better sacrifices and a permanent priesthood through Jesus. The new covenant allows salvation for all nations by writing God's law on our hearts through the Holy Spirit instead of on tablets of stone.

Reflecting his image
The Israelites celebrated when bringing the ark of God to battle, assuming it guaranteed victory like in the past. However, God was no longer with them and they suffered a devastating defeat. Clinging to past experiences with God is dangerous, as His presence must be maintained daily through intimacy. Over time, even those who witnessed miracles lost God's glory due to self-centeredness. To avoid this, we must humble ourselves daily before God and continually seek intimacy with Him above all else.
Diagnosis of Mental Disorders
The document discusses diagnosis in psychiatry. It defines diagnosis as conclusions made about a client's problems and complaints that are used to plan care.

The document discusses the biblical basis for the doctrine of the Trinity. It argues that while the term "Trinity" is not found in Scripture, the idea can be seen throughout the Bible. It presents evidence from both the Old and New Testaments showing that God exists as three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - yet is one God. Each person is fully God, but there is only one God. The Trinity is a mystery that we cannot fully comprehend, but denying it would contradict what Scripture reveals about God.

God's saving plan for man kind to eternity
God created humanity to have a relationship with them but humanity fell into sin. God's plan of salvation was to redeem humanity through Jesus Christ. The salvation plan involved Jesus fulfilling prophecies and redeeming humanity through his death and resurrection. To be saved, one must hear the gospel, believe, repent of sins, confess faith in Christ, be baptized by immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins, and live righteously as part of the church. Without baptism by immersion, one cannot truly be saved according to the document.

The organization looks forward to a future kingdom fulfilled by God and Christ's bodily return for believers.
What Jesus uses to draw men unto himself
Jesus uses some things but not others to draw men to himself for salvation. He does not use direct operation of the Holy Spirit, offers of political power, material wealth, worldly popularity, an easy life, social prestige, or worldly entertainment. Instead, he uses what is revealed about himself in scripture, his love, death, resurrection, and life, as well as the offers of rest, peace, forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, security, fellowship, and eternal life. Men must be drawn to Jesus to be saved according to the Bible.
Bible notes from Genesis
This document provides commentary on various passages from the book of Genesis in the Bible. It discusses how Genesis 1:1 refutes many theories like atheism, polytheism, and evolution.

Finally, it provides interpretations for many Genesis passages and notes how they foreshadow Christ and other biblical themes.
The bible vs. the jehovah's witnesses
The document summarizes the origins and growth of the Jehovah's Witnesses religious organization, founded in the late 19th century by Charles Taze Russell. It then examines some of the major doctrinal differences between the Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity, focusing on the JW's rejection of the Trinity and their beliefs that Jesus was not divine and did not physically resurrect from the dead. The document provides biblical arguments for the Trinity and for the deity of Jesus Christ, asserting that the Jehovah's Witnesses teachings on these issues contradict biblical doctrine.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Why we believe in the trinity
- 1. Why We Believe in the Trinity by Nathan Busenitz If the term “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, then why do Christians believe in God’s tri- unity? Here is my attempt to answer that question in 200 words or less. (Note that I did not include Scripture references in my word count.) Although the term Trinity does not occur in Scripture, the concept is inherently biblical. The Trinitarian nature of God was revealed implicitly in the Old Testament and explicitly in the New Testament. The doctrine of the Trinity is founded on two fundamental theological realities: (1) There is one true God. (2) The one God has eternally existed as three distinct Persons, each of whom is equally and fully God. Reality 1: Scripture teaches that there is one true God (cf. Deut. 4:35 ; 6:4 ; Isa. 43:10–11 ; 45:5 , 18 , 21–22 ; 46:9 ; Joel 2:27 ; Zech. 14:9 ; Mal. 2:10 ; Mark 12:29 ; James 2:19 ; 1 Tim. 2:5 ). Reality 2: Scripture also teaches that God has eternally existed as three distinct Persons, each of whom is equally and fully God. A. The Father is God (cf. Matt. 6:9 , 14 ; John 17:1–3 ; 1 Cor. 8:6 ; 2 Cor. 1:3 ;Php. 2:11 ; Col. 1:3 ; 1 Pet. 1:2 ). B. The Son is God (cf. Isaiah 9:6 ; Matt. 1:23 ; John 1:1 , 14 , 18 ; 20:28 ; Acts 20:28 ; Rom. 9:5 ; 1 Cor. 1:24 ; 2 Cor. 4:4 ; Php. 2:6 , 10–11 ; Col. 1:15–16 ; 2:9 ; Titus 2:13 ; Heb. 1:3 , 8 ; 2 Pet. 1:1 ; 1 John 5:20 ). C. The Son is distinct from the Father (Matt. 11:27 ; John 1:1–2 ; 3:35 ; 4:34 ;5:30–32 , 37 ; 6:38 ; 10:36 ; 12:49 ; 14:8–11 ; 17:20–24 ; Gal. 4:41 John 2:1 ; Heb. 7:25 ). D. The Holy Spirit is God (Gen. 1:2 ; 6:3 ; Job 33:4 ; Psalm 139:7–8 ; John 3:3– 8 ; 14:23 ; Acts 5:3–4 ; 1 Cor. 2:10–11 ; 6:16 ,19 ; 2 Cor. 3:18 ; Heb. 9:14 ;10:15–16 ; 2 Thess. 2:13 ; 1 Pet. 1:10–11 ; 2 Pet. 1:21 ). Moreover, the Holy Spirit is a person, possessing the attributes of personhood (Mark 3:29 ; John 14:26
- 2. ;16:8 ; Acts 8:29 ; 13:2 ; 16:6 ; Rom. 8:26 ; 15:30 ; 1 Cor. 12:11 ; Eph. 4:30 ; 1 Tim. 4:1 ; Heb. 10:29 ; Rev. 2:7 ). E. The Spirit is distinct from the Father and the Son (Isaiah 48:16 ; Matt. 28:19 ;Luke 3:21 ; John 14:16–17 ; 26 ; 16:13–14 ; Rom. 8:27 ; Heb. 9:8 ). On this basis, the Bible often refers to God in ways that emphasize all three Members of the Trinity (Matt. 28:19 ; Rom. 14:17–18 ; 15:13–17 ; 15:30 ; 1 Cor. 6:11 , 17–19 ; 12:4–6 ; 2 Cor. 1:21–22 ; 3:4–6 ; 13:14 ; Gal. 2:21–3:2 ; Eph. 2:18 ; 21–22 ; 3:11–17 ; 4:4–6 ; 5:18–20 ; Php. 2:1 , 6 ; Col. 1:6–8 ; 1 Thess. 1:1–5 ; 4:2 , 8 ; 5:18–19 ; 2 Thess. 2:13 , 14 ; 3:5 ; Titus 3:4–6 ; Heb. 9:14 ; 1 John 3:23–24 ; Jude 20–21 ). Thus, we embrace the truth of the Trinity because God has revealed Himself in this way in His Word.
