Creeds concerning the Trinity 1. The Nicene Creed (325) We believe in one God - And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father, light of light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father - And in the Holy Ghost. 2. The Niceno-Constantinopolian Creed (381) In this creed the clauses concerning the Father and the Son are..

It is a mystery indeed, yet one which explains many other mysteries, and which sheds a marvelous light on God, on nature, and on man. Unless God were too great for our full intellectual comprehension, He would surely be too small to satisfy our spiritual needs. But while the doctrine of the Trinity presents a mystery, it does not present a contradiction. It asserts that God is..

It need not surprise us that in the Godhead we find a form of personality entirely unique and different from that found in man. In the ascending scale of life as we know it in this world there are numerous modes of existence as we pass from the simpler to the more complex forms. In the plants we find what is truly called life, although it is so elementary that it does not even..

The Holy Spirit In The Old Testament Ordinarily the Old Testament references to the Spirit were so indistinct that they were understood to refer only to an energy or influence which proceeded from God. Nowhere is the Spirit specifically called a person ; yet when He is spoken of it is in terms that may properly be applied to a person. As read in the light of the New Testament,..

4. The Trinity in the Old Testament In regard to all of the great doctrines of the Bible we find that revelation has been progressive. What is only intimated at first is set forth clearly and full as time goes on. The obscure hint in the Old Testament is found to coincide perfectly with the fuller revelations in the New. The Old Testament may be likened to a chamber richly furn..

II. While God In His Innermost Nature Is One, He, Nevertheless, Exists As Three Persons. The best concise definition of the doctrine of the Trinity, so far as we are aware, is that found in the Westminster Shorter Catechism: “There are three persons within the Godhead; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power ..

Health is, of course, the general rule for God's people. In each particular instance we are to pray for healing until it becomes clear that it is not God's will to heal the person; and then we are to pray for grace to bear it, that we may be able to say with Jesus in Gethemane, “Not my will, but thine, be done.” We are to remember further that no affliction can come to the..

We believe that God alone can work miracles, and that He alone is to receive religious veneration. Consequently when the Christian Scientists claim miracles through the application of a foolish philosophy which denies the reality of sin, disease and pain, or when the Roman Catholics claim miracles as the product of an atmosphere surcharged with the idolatrous worship of the Vi..

Spiritual Values Superior to Material Values As Christians we believe that the redemption of the human race from sin was a sufficient cause for God on occasion to set aside the ordinary laws of nature and to work above or contrary to them. We hold that when the human race, which was the thing of primary value in this whole creation, had fallen into sin and was to be redeemed f..

The Person of Christ and the Doctrine of Miracles The basic assumption of the Christian system is that Jesus Christ was and is a truly Divine Person, the second Person of the trinity, who at a certain period in history came to earth and took upon Himself our humanity, in whom dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and who, therefore, is to be honored, worshipped and truste..
