Christian Understanding of Trinity3

TRINITY : M. M. NINAN
2. Philosophical and Logical Reasons
three persons within the Godhead. Therefore if ever God is to be
described it can only be as "God is Love".
Love is the character of God because there is a trinity in
godhead. Cosmos for Christians is the interplay of this love of
God in action. They work together. But each has a personality of
its own and sphere of its own. There are areas where each
person in the godhead acts independently.
Mat 24: 36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the
angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Act 1: 7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or
dates the Father has set by his own authority.
In this concept God has the uncertainty to be personalities with
each complementing the other to produce a complex organic
unity. This organic unity becomes God with the character of love
that binds them together so that each serves the other eternally.
The competition within them is simply how one can best serve
the other. The Christian God differs from the monadic God of
Islam and Judaism in that "God is Love". It is this that
differentiated the revelation and teaching of Jesus from that of
Moses. Mohammed evidently could not understand this in the
midst of his conflicting war infested time. Both these therefore
naturally projects a God of War, Judgment and Punishment. At
best this God can be merciful at his whim and fancy. Jehovah
Witness and even Calvinism depicts such a picture because of
their emphasis on sovereignty within one person.
