Round the Sphere Again: Theology

The Trinity
Yes, the Trinity is baffling, but isn’t that what we’d expect of the true God?

[I]f the Christian God is real, would we expect him to be easy to put together? Is the Trinity less believable, or more believable–because it’s perplexing? Isn’t any “God” who’s too transparent simply incredible? Such a “God” is obvious because such a “God” is obviously an extension of the human mind, human experience.

From The Amazing Trinity by Steve Hayes at Triablogue.

God’s Sovereignty
That our God is sovereign in everything is our comfort. 

To try to soften God’s involvement with suffering by reducing it to a mere permission rather than a definite ordinance is to weaken the spine-strengthening power that is supplied by Romans 8:28.

What Doctrine Does
From 1 Tim. 4:6-16, four things doctrine does:

  1. Sound doctrine prevents us from falling into irreverent and silly myths.
  2. Sound doctrine trains us in godliness.
  3. Sound doctrine will save you.
  4. Sound doctrine prevents confusion.
