The Trinity Is Greater

DateFriday, February 21, 2014 at 12:01PM

This morning I posted at Out of the Ordinary on the doctrine of the Trinity.

Because the Christian God is triune, he is greater the so-called gods of other religions. He is, for instance, loving by nature, something a single-person god cannot be. Before creation, the persons of the Trinity loved each other, while a single-person god cannot love unless he creates something to love. To love, a single-person god needs his creation. The Trinity, on the other hand, is eternally loving and needs nothing in order to love.
