30 Is God a Trinity?a little clearer. In chapter 2:5-8, he encourages the Philippians:"Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble]mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus. Let him be yourexample in humility ... Who, although being essentiallyone with God and in the form of God [possessing thefullness of the attributes which make God God], did notthink this equality with God was a thing to be eagerlygrasped or retained; but stripped Himself [of all privilegesand rightful dignity] so as to assume the guise of a servant(slave), in that He became like men and was born a humanbeing. And after He had appeared in human form Heabased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried Hisobedience to the extreme of death, and even the death of[the] cross!" Jesus Christ was God. But He voluntarilygave up His position as God, became a physical humanbeing and came to this earth to die for us that we might besaved.The true impact and importance of the oft-repeatedscripture: "For God so loved the world, that he gave hisonly begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shouldnot perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16), becomesabundantly clear.
CHAPTER THREEIsthe Holy Spirita Person?WE HAVE seen that Jesus Christ is, was and alwayswill be God. However, you can search the Biblefrom Genesis to Revelation and you will find nosuch Bible teaching with regard to the Holy Spirit. TheBible does not teach that the Holy Spirit is a third memberof the God family or of a Trinity.This is not a prejudiced anti-trinitarian opinion. It is afact that is recognized even by Trinitarian theologians!Discussing the evidence for the doctrine of the Trinityin the Bible, Dr. W. N. Clarke, writes: "The New Testamentbegins the work, but does not finish it; for it containsno similar teaching [like John 1:1-18 concerning the divinityof Christ] with regard to the Holy Spirit. The uniquenature and mission of Christ are traced to a ground in thebeing of God; but similar ground for the divineness of theSpirit is nowhere shown. Thought in the New Testament isnever directed to that end. Thus the Scriptures take thefirst step toward a doctrine of essential Trinity, or threenessin the being of one God, but they do not take thatsecond step by which alone the doctrine could be completed"(An Outline of Christian Theology, p. 168).(Author's emphasis.)Theologians have to recognize that there is no biblicalproof for the divinity or personality of the Spirit. And thatin order to arrive at a doctrine of the Trinity, they have togo outside of the Bible.
