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.

- Sound doctrine prevents us from falling into irreverent and silly myths.
- Sound doctrine trains us in godliness.
- Sound doctrine will save you.
- Sound doctrine prevents confusion.
