The Holy Trinity Flashcards
What is God
One in being, Three in person
What’s the difference between a being and a person?
A being is the quality that makes you WHAT you are, and a person is that which makes you WHO you are
Who am I? Who am I not?
Who I am is Nikola Velisavljević. Who I am is not a human being.
What am I? What am I not?
What I am is a human being. What I am is not Nikola Velisavljević.
How can Jesus say something like “the Father is greater than I”?
I can point to the president and accurately say he is greater than I am, because when he goes somewhere, he rolls with the posse. But is he any more human than I am? No. He’s greater in terms of role, but not in terms of essence.
Is God the Father greater than Jesus?
He is greater in ROLE but not in ESSENCE. Just like my manager is greater than me in role but is not more human than I am.
