TRINITY : M. M. NINAN<br />

7. New Testament Trinity<br />

I Cor 8.6: yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from<br />

whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one<br />

Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through<br />

whom we live.<br />

Albrecht Dürer, 1511<br />

Phil 2.6-11: (Philippians was written around AD 60), Your attitude<br />

should be the same as that <strong>of</strong> Christ Jesus: Who, being in very<br />

nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be<br />

grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature <strong>of</strong> a<br />

servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in<br />

appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient<br />

to death -- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to<br />

the highest place and gave him the name that is above every<br />

name, that at the name <strong>of</strong> Jesus every knee should bow, in<br />

heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue<br />

confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory <strong>of</strong> God the Father.<br />
