Embark on a profound journey as we confront the enigmatic and divine mystery of the Trinity, the core of Christian theology that has confounded and comforted believers through the ages. With a careful dissection of the Westminster Confession of Faith, we illuminate the intricate relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, unraveling misconceptions and cementing the essence of this sacred doctrine. This episode promises to arm you with a deeper, scripturally sound grasp of the triune God that stands as the bedrock of our faith.
As guardians of orthodoxy, we stand at the crossroads of grace and truth, treading the delicate line between heresy and misunderstanding. Through historical insights and theological discourse, we defend the biblical roots of the Trinity against naysayers and skeptics who claim pagan parallels. The dialogue takes us from the consistent monotheism of the Old Testament to the full revelation in the New Testament, solidifying the Trinity's biblical foundation. Join us in reaffirming the central, unshakable tenet of Christianity: the Trinity, a beacon of light guiding us in the pursuit of divine truth.

As always, thank you for watching Gospel Grit, where we seek to apply the Word of God, to the people of God, to the glory of God.
All right guys, welcome to another episode of Gospel Grit. Thank you, guys for joining me. As always, I am Taylor Windham, your host on this channel, and certainly tonight I sure hope and believe that what we will do is we will seek to apply the Word of God, specifically in this difficult area, to the people of God, for the glory of God. To the people of God, for the glory of God. Now let me give the disclaimer, also on this, that this topic is one that should make you quake in your boots. It should make you think twice Anybody who's sober-minded and begins an undertaking of an issue that has caused so much schism and problems within the church. So many heretics have been condemned over the issue of the Trinity.
Speaker 1:As you can see with the title of this video and the thumbnail, we're going to tackle the Trinity as well as its heresies. Now the other disclaimer I want to give before we jump right into it is this subject has been brought up to me recently. It's been brought up at circle groups. It's been brought up by kids, it's been brought up by college students. It's just something that you guys want to know about and I commend you for that. It few things. I can list them, on one hand, that are actually more important than this subject, and there may not be anything more important. We're talking about the very nature of God and who he is the unique God, the Creator God, the altogether separate God who exists in one nature while simultaneously being three persons. So understand that this is the Holy of Holies when it comes to Christian theology and doctrines, and therefore there's nothing jovial about this episode. We need to be sober-minded when we discuss these things. We can fall into either one heretical ditch, so to say, or another one very quickly in this matter, and so, while I'm going to try to keep this short, it's very critically important that you stay focused. I'm going to use terms in here, hopefully, to find them, and, again, we'll try to keep this about 15 minutes, but I think this is really, really, really important, okay, so please stay focused with me and we'll see what we can do. Hopefully, we can get this done in one video, although, again, we'll never be able to exhaust the inexhaustible. We'll never be able to fully explain the unexplainable. Okay, so my goal is to show you the biblical understanding of this, how to respond to some of these heresies and objections, as what I've called them as well as just how we can go about believing this in a coherent and cogent way.
Speaker 1:So let's define the Trinity. We have to start with definitions, especially on this, and I'll use the Westminster Confession of Faith In the unity of the Godhead, there be three persons of one substance, power and eternity. God the Father, god the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding. The Son is eternally begotten of the Father, the Holy Ghost, eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son. Again, that's the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Speaker 1:While it's true that the word Trinity is found nowhere in the Bible, it is certainly taught there implicitly. And let me stop right there and say I know a lot of you guys bring that up. I've had college kids bring that up, I've had adults bring that up. The word Trinity is found nowhere in the Bible. There are plenty of other doctrines found nowhere in the Bible. That doesn't mean they're taught in the Bible, but it also doesn't mean they're not taught in the Bible. So just because you don't see the word Trinity, there's no English word for you guys who don't read in Greek or Hebrew. There's no English word that was written in the Old or New Testament either. So, technically, no word at all in our Bible in English was there in the Greek or Hebrew text. That's just how it works. So let's not get caught up on what word is not in the Greek or Hebrew text. That's just how it works. So let's not get caught up on what word is not in the Bible. Let's get caught up on what the Bible does teach. What it does deny, we need to deny. And what it is explicit about teaching, we need to be explicit about teaching and proclaiming. And in areas where it is very clear that it's implicitly teaching other things, we need to not be silent in those areas. And this is one of those when it comes to the Trinity. So again, it's not there literally explicitly, but it is taught, certainly in the Bible, and I hope to prove that.
Speaker 1:Many seem to stumble on this doctrine and you may be one of those people because they think it's nonsense and they believe it's a contradiction. So they reject it, and we reject things that we don't believe. The heart can't love something the mind rejects. So if my heart says something is not true or my heart says something, I can't wrap my affections around something. It's very likely because I don't actually believe that thing. Intellectually, my mind has rejected it and so therefore, my heart rejects it. That's how that works. They actually are in unison almost all of the time, and if we find something wrong with our heart, it may have something to do with our mind, and vice versa. But it's not a contradiction, and I want to be clear.
Speaker 1:For something to be a contradiction, it must violate the law of non-contradiction. Okay, which is very, very important. Um, if I see a car drive by and it's a solid color, and I turned to my wife and I tell them that that car's color is red and she says the car's color is blue and that I'm absolutely wrong, something's wrong with my eyes. That's not true at all. The car is blue, not red, and I say it's red, not blue. If it's a single color and we're talking about the same car in the same place at the same time, one of us is wrong. One of us is either lying or we are deluded. We either know we're wrong or we don't know we're wrong. But it cannot be red and blue at the same time. That's a really simple example of law of non-contradiction, but it just basically states that variable A cannot be both variable B and non-B at the same time and in the same way.
Speaker 1:Here are some theological examples. We cannot say God can make a rock so big he can't lift it, or that he can make a square circle, or that God has a beginning and he's also eternal at the same time. God is not eternal and had a beginning. He's either one or the other. The law of non-contradiction is not something we get to monkey around with. The law of non-contradiction is not something we get to monkey around with and I just want to be clear about that. The Trinity states and I want to be very, very crystal clear the Trinity states properly understood throughout church history and from the Bible, that God is one in nature and he's three in substance. But it does not say that God is three in persons and also three in nature. It doesn't say that he's one in person and one in nature. It says that he is one in nature, three in persons. Those other options would be contradictions. They would violate the law of non-contradiction.
Speaker 1:Oftentimes Muslims I just want to throw this in here before we move on Muslims and Jewish people really get hung up when it comes to this issue of the law of non-contradiction and I can in some ways understand why. Because Christians have, historically, especially, people who don't study these things and aren't serious about them. We've done a poor job of explaining what the Trinity is and who our God is One in nature, three in person. So I've heard Muslims tell me to my face you know that's three gods you're talking about. You're a polytheist, you're not even a monotheist, and we'll get to that. So heresy had been a blessing Hear me out here.
Speaker 1:Heresy had been a blessing in the first five centuries of the church, so the first 400 years, including the first century, because it caused the church to get really specific and precise with their language when they crafted doctrines from the Bible, right? So it caused them to get really specific and precise with their language in a way that had not been done previously, particularly in regard to the Trinity and the person and work of Christ. So what I mean by that? Let's just so you don't get confused. I'm not saying that the Bible wasn't clear and I'm not saying they didn't know what to believe. I'm saying, until controversies arose heretical controversies we're about to talk about until those came about, the church had not really been specific about these things because they didn't have to be. Most of the people, most of the people, most of the people, most of the people, most of the people, most of excuse me most of the time were believing what the Bible said and there was a lot of unison. Now, when factions arose and there were problems, we see the council at Jerusalem in Acts 15. Paul in Galatians I said that in the earlier video this week Paul talking to the Galatians about another gospel and how the Judaizers coming in and talking about circumcision. When we talk about the Trinity, there were times where it was just sort of universally understood. It should be universally certainly understood now but there were times where there were huge threats to the doctrine and the church had to get really specific and that's the blessing I'm arguing, because it forced them to use precise language that we have benefited from.
Speaker 1:So let's define heresy before we start calling people heretics. Heresy is defined and this is my definition, so take it or leave it, but I think it's fairly simple and accurate. Is any denial of the explicit or, by proxy, the implicit teaching, of the explicit or by proxy, the implicit teaching of the word of God or universally recognized counsels, or it can also be an assertion that violates the truths contained therein. Put simply, all error is not heresy, but all heresy is error. That's how I define heresy for you guys. I hope that's a good working definition.
Speaker 1:So to believe heresy puts you outside of the Christian faith. Okay, hear me. To believe heresy, to be a heretic or to be believing of heretical doctrines puts you outside of the Christian faith. To be a heretic or a false teacher means that you are going to hell and you are not saved. Not all doctrines are equally important, but every doctrine taught in the Bible is indeed important, just not all equally important. Especially when it comes to the Trinity. There are very, very few things that cut right to the core of the gospel and the whole of the Christian faith, other than this one.
Speaker 1:Important to note before we move on. We should be gracious with people and I believe this although I'm not always gracious with people in matters like this. We should be gracious with people on matters of the Trinity and other high-ticket issues, ideas that have great consequences and cut right again to the core of what we believe, because many times we use imprecise or uneducated language to explain what is orthodox truly orthodox in a way that is just very unorthodox. We must pay attention to what people mean by what people say, not just what they say. I could go on and on about that forever, but I won't. We've got to keep moving. So give grace. If you want grace in this stuff, give grace. Sometimes people just don't know how to talk. I come into contact with that all the time. Lay people clergy, we use imprecise language, we don't care, we don't think hard, and although those things are our fault, it's also important to note that being dumb or being uneducated or being imprecise or being sloppy with your theological terms is not the same as heresy, and we must give grace and give leeway to people that just don't know what they're talking about, okay, and then instruct them in a loving way so they can be more equipped.
Speaker 1:In the next conversation let's talk about orthodoxy. So orthodoxy again, my definition is defined as a biblically grounded circle that is drawn around the classical Christian interpretation of the Bible. This serves as the fence that disagreements and dialogues may take place in in a healthy manner. So we can disagree inside of the orthodox fence. But it divides heresy, which is outside of the fence in this analogy, from the accepted differing Christian positions inside of the fence. So it's like telling kids at recess. You can go outside and you can play anywhere in this fence. Outside of that fence, you are in violation of the rules. Outside of this fence, you are not safe. Outside of this fence, you can get abducted. Outside of this fence, you can get carried off. All of that is metaphorical language for heresy. So remember too small of a fence is dangerous and so is too big of a fence. We all draw a fence in our minds on every theological issue that we have. If we believe that truth by definition is exclusive and we believe the law of non-contradiction cannot be violated, then every single person who watches this video has a fence around every single truth. Claim that you believe Someone can push that fence really really far Someone.
Speaker 1:For some of us, people like me that are often accused of being intolerant we have a small fence. We don't have much wiggle room, we don't have much leeway. It is dangerous, in my opinion, to have too small of a fence and be too exclusive, and it is also dangerous to have too big of a fence and be too inclusive. Okay, when it comes to the doctrine of the Trinity, it's my opinion that, unlike a lot of other issues, we need to have a small fence. We all draw those fences and just be aware that you have one. And do you have holes in your fence? Do you keep up the borders and perimeters of your fence? Do you know up the borders and perimeters of your fence? Do you know where its edges are? Are you willing to extend it? What if someone says they'll sell you more fence for a good price? Are you going to extend your fence barrier simply because they're giving you a good discount? When it comes to this doctrine, it's important where we put the boundaries.
Speaker 1:It goes without saying to assert that we believe in a God that is eternal and infinite and self-existent means that we will assert that he cannot, by any means, in any doctrine, be fully and finally understood Right. Therefore, human reason and sense is not the basis for truth, but the word of God is. You will hear me say that over and over. You guys who know me personally, you know that I believe that the Word of God is the source of truth. It is truth itself. If the Trinity makes sense to you fully and finally, in the final analysis, you're probably in error. We're not believing a contradiction, but we are believing a paradox. We are believing something that does not fully, truly make sense, and if you can scrutinize God in a way that is fully and finally understandable, you're probably not talking about God anymore. And I'm not saying that's heresy, I'm just saying paradox. You have some ill-advised theology. Potentially you need to look it over.
Speaker 1:It's also fair to say that all analogies are faulty. H2o people use that all the time. Well, the Father is like solid water and the Son is liquid water and the Holy Spirit is vapor water. They're all water, but they're in three different states, states, states of matter, and then on and on and on it goes, and so I think it's really important for us to say that. I want you guys to hear me say that all analogies are faulty and they're insufficient when it comes to the Trinity, and they all fall somewhere in the realm of either unwise, not helpful or just altogether heresy. Again, analogies communicate meaning. Remember this. Analogies communicate meaning. They are not meaning in and of themselves. They are not meaning. They help you understand meaning, just like a parable does, but they are not meaning in and of themselves. They draw comparisons in analogical language to help us get a better grip, from different perspectives, on a truth claim.
Speaker 1:Now I have five heresies from the early church. These are some of the most common ones and you'll probably also see these are some of the ones that are still hanging around today. I've got names for them, I've got how they're defined in a simple way and I've got scriptural references to refute them. So again, go back and scrub the video. I may go kind of quick on these, but I want you to hear them. So, number one early church heresies. Most of these have not gone away, unfortunately.
Speaker 1:Number one is tritheism. As the name indicates, it's the belief in three gods, not one nature, three persons, but three different gods. Again, this is polytheism. I said it earlier Jews and Muslims oftentimes accuse Christians of being tritheists and being therefore polytheists. Remember Jesus said in John 10, verse 30, I and the Father are one. So we do not believe that we have three gods. We believe we have three persons in the Godhead, one in nature, three persons. So that's tritheism and I don't know a lot of people that actually believe that. That's an accusation we get, but that's not what the majority report and I don't hear it very much, thank goodness.
Speaker 1:Now this next one is huge. It could be its own video, but modalism is the belief that God is one in substance and personhood and that he manifests in three distinct modes. So mode modalism, right, much like one character playing three roles in a play. The people who believe in modalism will assert that God is never all three modes at once. He just wears different hats, right, he plays different roles at different times. He's one actor on the stage that runs off the stage, puts on a dress, runs back out, plays a character, runs to the back of the stage, takes that off, puts on a farmer's hat and overalls and runs back out, and so on and so forth. That's the way modalists view God. We'll see that that's ultimately multiple different problems and still around, multiple different problems, and still around.
Speaker 1:Jesus said in Matthew 28, 19,. And really you can go back to the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in Matthew 3. I just didn't write it down, but go, therefore, this is a great commission and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now again, matthew 3 would be another great reference, because you see Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, being baptized. You see the Father opening and parting the clouds and saying this is my beloved Son, in whom I'm well pleased. And then what you also see, of course, is the Holy Spirit coming down and alighting on his shoulder like a dove. So all three are physically visibly present in three distinct persons. And so modalism is a very popular heresy. Td Jakes and many others believe it and have been accused of it.
Speaker 1:The third one is the big one, the one that made us crystallize this doctrinal view. It's Arianism, and it's the belief that Christ was the first created being that the Father ever made. There was a bishop, an archbishop, very popular in the early 300s AD. His name was Arius and he believed that Christ was supernatural and that God made all things through him, as Colossians 1 talks about and John 1 talks about. But Arius didn't believe that he was eternal, and so the council of Nicaea was convened mainly to deal with Arius and his heresies in 325 AD, and Arius was condemned thank goodness as a heretic, along with his followers. This heresy has never died out, and today we call Arians Jehovah's Witnesses. That's how it's been rebranded.
Speaker 1:Remember these verses. I hope you're writing these down or committing them to memory John 1, 1 and 2. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, he was in the beginning, was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, he was in the beginning with God. So God there is in reference to the Father and, of course, the Word being in reference to the Son.
Speaker 1:Number four the fourth sort of ancient heresy is docetism, and it's the belief that Jesus only appeared to be human, that he was masquerading, and he only appeared, therefore, to suffer on the cross and sweat drops of blood, and he only appeared to have human experiences and that his deity left him on the cross Matthew 26, 38 and 39. Then he said to them my soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and keep watch with me. And he went a little beyond them and fell on his face and prayed, saying my father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, yet, not as I will, but as you will, okay. Number five adoptionism. Adoptionism is the belief that this is the last one, that Jesus was born totally human and that he therefore they deny his incarnation and they believe at some point later, subsequent in his life, most of the time. At his baptism, he was adopted into the Godhead and made divine. It's typically seen as either at his baptism or at his resurrection. There's disagreements, doesn't matter, it's all heresy, but just understand that was popular then and it's still popular now. John 8, 58, before Abraham was born, I am.
Speaker 1:As is the case with Arianism, the matter has sometimes come down to the differences of one letter. In the case of the Council of Nicaea, the over 300 bishops that gathered there ended up disputing over one letter in a now infamous word, which is homoousios H-O-M-O-O-U-S-I-O-S. It's translated into the same substance. That's what it means same substance In reference to Jesus being the same substance of the Father and, as the Father, same, and that's important. The false teacher and bishop Arius believed Jesus was divine, just not eternal. Arius used the word homoousios, so he added an I in the middle of the word to affirm that Jesus was a similar nature to the Father, but not at all the same, and that's critically important. It came down to one letter not at all the same, and that's critically important came down to one letter. In the end it resulted in homoousios, the classical orthodox interpretation of the doctrine of the Trinity winning the day, and orthodoxy prevailed at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. Thank God that that happened.
Speaker 1:The question I would ask you is this what would have happened in this moment and many, many others like it before it and since, had we ceded the ground when it came to orthodoxy and rolled over and showed our bellies to heretical teachings? What would have happened to the church? What would have happened to the truth of the gospel? Do you think that the devil has done his greatest number on the church from the outside or the inside? I think that's a no-brainer. I think it's from the inside and unorthodox or heretical teachings, heterodoxy has made such a rampant inroads that he doesn't have to get the world always to destroy the church, because the church is being destroyed from the inside by wolves in sheep's clothing, because the church is being destroyed from the inside by wolves in sheep's clothing. So orthodox, historical and sound doctrine are only ever one generation away from being destroyed.
Speaker 1:What is unchecked falsehood in the name of inclusion today will be full-blown heresy tomorrow if we sit by idly and do nothing. That's my disclaimer, that is my appeal to you. Remember, for truth to be regarded as truth, we must defend it as such, or else it becomes seen as another pleasant lie of the devil himself. So here are, I think it's, three objections I wrote down. I'm going to say what the common objection is. I'm going to respond to it so that you know how to respond to these objections. Number one is probably the most popular, but who knows? The first objection is the Trinity. That's what people say. The Trinity was invented by pagans and later it was adopted into Christianity over time. My response to that would be this is just demonstrably false.
Speaker 1:Many religions have three gods. Of course, hinduism is the one that came to my mind Shiva, vishnu, brahman. They all have different roles and they all keep each other in check and in balance, but they are triads or they come in threes right. Again, this is tritheism. No religion made by the devil and my argument is that all of them are ultimately made by the devil. Apart from biblical, christianity asserts that God is one in three right. No religion made by the devil would ever believe that God is one in nature and three in persons, which bolsters the claims of the Trinity. It doesn't hurt them. Remember, we are monotheists as Trinitarians. We are monotheists.
Speaker 1:Number two, the objection that I would make here, that I added and what people often say. I've heard them say this myself Jesus referred to God, the Father, as the one true God and that no one was good but God alone. This must mean that he can't be God. If he said that about God. Right? My response and yours should be along the lines of this and there are plenty of other things to say. But if you don't have anything to say, then consider saying something like this Jesus is claiming that he and the Father are one. That actually dispels the myth that they are separate in nature or substance.
Speaker 1:Also, the Trinity asserts that all qualities of God can be attributed to all three members of the Godhead right, omnipotence, omniscience, sovereignty, glory, holiness, et cetera. So if I can say that the Father is omnipotent, I say the Son is omnipotent. I say the Spirit is omnipotent. If I say the Son is holy, that also means the Father is holy and the Spirit is holy. If I say that the Spirit is all-loving, then that means the Father is all-loving and the Son is all-loving. But not all actions, like, for example, the death on the cross, are attributed to every single member. So the Father was not crucified. We know that the Son was. The Spirit didn't send the Son. The Father sent the Son.
Speaker 1:Traits. I'm going to read this twice so we get it. Traits and qualities belong to nature. Those are nature claims about someone's nature, in this case God and actions belong to personhood. So when we talk about the nature of God, we talk about His traits and His qualities, and that's true of all three persons of the Trinity. But if we talk about personhood and we talk about the things that they do, they have different roles. Right, the Father sends the Son. The Son is sent and accomplishes redemption according to the foreknowledge and the plan of God. The Father and the Spirit appropriates that to the believers and indwells them. So they're all playing distinct roles simultaneously, not modalism. They're all playing distinct roles, but they're not all doing the same thing. They're all acting, but they're not all doing the same thing, but they are all the same, being same thing. Right, they're all acting, but they're not all doing the same thing, but they are all the same being right. Same nature, not same personhood.
Speaker 1:The last objection is this Deuteronomy 6.4 states here Israel, the Lord, our God, the Lord, is one right. We know this verse the Shema. This must mean this is what they claim. This must mean that the God of the Old Testament was different than the God who Jesus talked about in the New Testament. The Jews are fierce monotheists. The Jews didn't believe in Jesus as the Messiah, because why would they right? This is the objection they're monotheists. How would they believe that God is a man? That's blasphemed to them and it's ultimately got Jesus killed? My response to that would be while this is certainly the case, we are also fierce monotheists as Christians.
Speaker 1:We don't give up the ground and say, well, yeah, they're real monotheists, and you know, muslims are real monotheists. We are not. We're kind of quasi-monotheist because we believe in three persons and one nature. No, that's not true. We don't give up that ground. We are just as much monotheists as anyone else. We believe in one God, three persons Okay, so there's that. But we assert that the Father, son and Spirit are co-eternal and they share in the Godhead. You guys know this verse, genesis 1, 26. Then God said let us make mankind in our image, according to our likeness. Right, god is united in the first chapter, in will in what he does with three distinct persons. Right, in the beginning, the first chapter of the Bible, they had that, they knew that that was written by Moses, that's their man, and they rejected that.
Speaker 1:This is not a refutation of the Jews, or bashing Jews or theological disagreement for any reason other than the Trinity is a thoroughly biblical doctrine from the beginning of Genesis all the way to Revelation 22. Or consider I wrote this down too. Consider the most famous psalm in the New Testament, psalm 110, verse 1, the one Jesus quoted to make this exact same point. The Lord says to my Lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. The issue is unbelief and willful ignorance, not the lack of scriptural support.
Speaker 1:Okay, so those are three distinct objections and while there are certainly many more, those are the ones I could think of. Those were the ones I saw online as I was researching, and those are also just common. You don't have to be a scholar to make those, but you also don't have to be a scholar to respond to them. So I know this video is way longer than I thought it was going to be. I know I say that all the time, but I hope that this is I haven't wasted your time, hope this has been very valuable and beneficial and crampacked with content and meaning and knowledge and wisdom and biblical illumination, and may the Holy Spirit convince you of this doctrine If you're struggling, if you are.
Speaker 1:If you have more questions, please comment, email me. If you have my phone number, text me. I'm not just a guy that sits behind a camera. I'm somebody that loves you guys and cares about you. I'm not doing this to make money. I'm doing this for you guys, because I enjoy it, but also because I think someone needs to be saying these things, because we don't hear it very often in church or anywhere else. So if you've got a comment, shoot it. I'd love to hear from you, whether you like the video or not. You need help or you don't encouragement, or you have a critique, whatever it may be. Or you don't encouragement, or you have a critique, whatever it may be. Love to hear from you guys. And, as always, the goal has been and I hope it has been accomplished to apply the Word of God to you guys, the people of God, for the glory of God, and I will see you guys next week on our first weekly episode. God bless you guys.
