A missionary writes from Brazil, "A lady who studied with me had trouble accepting God in three persons. How do you see the doctrine of the Trinity?"
A gracEmail concerning God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit provoked a cross-section of responses. One reader pointed to Old Testament references she regarded as trinitarian. Another subscriber remarked that he has "never seen a trinitarian who can explain the nature of God." A third correspondent expressed appreciation for what he considered the "clear, practical, and biblical" exposition set out here. And a fourth confided that she was uncomfortable with the doctrine of the Trinity and probably would be barred from joining the congregation she attends if church officials knew of her conscientious qualms.
Someone asks whether it is necessary to say that God is a Trinity, one God in three persons, in order to be saved.
'call to arms' calls for discretion
A pastor sent me a copy of his "call to arms"which he issued to his denomination, concerned that some of his brethren are non-trinitarian in theology and that others who are trinitarian are not militant enough in purging the ones who are.
