TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN Holy Spirit in this world. This is what we call deification. Man can never be one in essence with God.Christian contemplation is not "ecstatic," that is, outside ourselves, but it takes place within the Christian person who is the "temple of the Holy Spirit." The divine energies are "within everything and outside everything." All creation is the manifestation of God's energies. Vladimir Lossky says in the Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church: "These divine rays penetrate the whole created universe and are the cause of its existence." The uncreated Light and the knowledge of God in Orthodox tradition "illuminates every man that cometh into this world." “ We move and have our being in Him” Thus when Jesus entered the creation it was to interact with the creatures for the healing of the cancer - the assertion of ego of man in belligerence against the creator asserting himself as I Am. Thus throughout the Bible, all three persons Father (Abba- Male gender), Son (Yeshua Mesiah- Male gender) and the Holy Spirit (Ruah Kodesha- Female Gender as that which gives life and proceeds from the Father) has all the characteristics of God. They are one in essence with God. The number three is mentioned in relation to God in scripture, which of course is the number that is central to the word <strong>Trinity</strong>. It is repeated through the New Testament directly though it is indirectly implied in the creation process in the Old Testament. The main examples of this are the Great Commission “Matthew 28:16-20,Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 2 Corinthians 13:14, “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” and the Comma Johanneum, 1 John 5:7–8 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. which some regard as a spurious text passage in First John (1 John 5:7) known primarily from the King James Version and some versions of the Textus Receptus but not included in modern critical texts. 5
TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN It is suggested by some modern "Oneness Pentecostal" critics, that Matthew 28:19 is not part of the original text, because Eusebius of Caesarea quoted it by saying "In my name", and there is no mention of baptism in the verse. Eusebius did, however, quote the trinitarian formula in his later writings. (Conybeare (Hibbert Journal i (1902-3), page 102). Matthew 28:19 is quoted also in the Didache (Didache 7:1), which dates to the late 1st Century or early 2nd Century) and in the Diatesseron (Diatesseron 55:5-7), which dates to the mid 2nd Century harmony of the Synoptic Gospels. The Shem-Tob's Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (George Howard), written during the 14th century, also has no reference of baptism or a trinitarian formula in Matthew 28:19. However, it is also true that no Greek manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew has ever been found which does not contain Matthew 28:19. The earliest extant copies of Matthew's Gospel date to the 3rd Century, and they contain Matthew 28:19. Therefore, scholars generally agree that Matthew 28:19 is likely part of the original Gospel of Matthew, though a minority disputes this. Trinitarians believe that all three members of the <strong>Trinity</strong> were present as seemingly distinct persons at Jesus' baptism, and believe there is other scriptural evidence for Trinitarianism. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit all present at the Baptism Here is a list that gives the references: Person of Father Person of Son Person of the Holy Spirit 6
