Trinity

What is the Trinity? The word, "trinity," is a term used to denote the Christian doctrine that God exists as a unity of three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Each of the persons is distinct from the other yet related in essence.

We see that Jesus has two natures as is taught in the chart below, but how they relate is not clarified in Scripture. Jesus as one person with two naturesGODMAN He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2, 11, 14:33, 28:9) He is prayed to (Acts 7:59, 1 Cor. 1:1-2) He was called God (John 20:28, Heb. 1:8) He was called Son o
