6 Common Misunderstanding about the Trinity

It's probably not surprising that a doctrine that's as critical as the Trinity is at the center of numerous misunderstandings. The Trinity PowerPoint addresses six of the most common Trinity misunderstandings:

1. Misunderstanding 1: 'The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible; it is a belief made up by 4th century Christians.'
2. Misunderstanding 2: 'Christians believe there are three Gods.'
3. Misunderstanding 3: 'Jesus is not God.'
4. Misunderstanding 4: 'Jesus is a lesser God than the Father.'
5. Misunderstanding 5: 'The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are just different titles for Jesus, or three different ways that God has revealed himself.'
6. Misunderstanding 6: 'Jesus wasn't really fully God and fully man.'

The Trinity, The Apostles' Creed, and The Early Church

The Trinity Power Point reveals how early Christians addressed these misunderstandings through some of the earliest statements of faith including:

• The Apostles' Creed written in the second century
• The Nicene Creed AD 325
• Athanasian Creed written c. AD 400
• Chalcedoian Creed written in AD 451

The PowerPoint includes the full text of each of these four creeds.

One of the most powerful sections of the PowerPoint includes a chart that shows that God and Jesus Christ share 10 key traits that are mentioned in the Old Testament as applying to no-one but God. Another chart shows seven Divine attributes shared by Father, Son and Holy Spirit with Scripture references for each.
