248: The Trinity
TRINITY
The concept of the Trinity is the idea of three in one. We have one God, consisting of three persons. Another term that somewhat captures this idea is: Triunity.
What we are doing is using a term to describe something that exists—a descriptive term—because words like Trinity and Triunity are not found in the Bible.
Let’s acknowledge that to anyone who argues against the Trinity.
Yes, the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible, and that's acceptable, but let’s use another term.
If you want a more comprehensive description, you could say the one Godhead comprised of three persons.
However, it’s easier to use the term Trinity.
This one Godhead consists of three persons who are all God of the same essence.
The Bible is full of teachings that support this idea.
A simple term to describe it is Trinity; however, a better term, though it might not be widely used, is Triunity. It conveys a three-fold oneness.
Trinity works well too.

Jeff,
Good podcast on the Trinity. I like how you used the word “Triunity.” Great example on how apologetics is used to defend the use of the word “Trinity.”
I am excited about all of the other classes the IABC will be offering. Being a retired professional Chaplain with all of the certifications I look back and wished I would have come across this training and IABC earlier. I am grateful to God for bringing me to you all.
God Bless,
Scott
