Alford Scriptural Doctrine of the Trinity investigated and defended is a 17-page examination and defense of the doctrine of the Trinity. Alford examines Christ’s humanity as well as his divinity. Specifically, Alford establishes Christ’s divine traits (omniscience, wisdom, omnipresence, immutability, omnipotence, equality with the Father, deity), and then he examines issues of the trinity, the plurality of the Godhead, number of persons in the Godhead, the Father-Son-Spirit are one God. Then Alford examines the consequences of this doctrine, specifically in the light of the Unitarian’s denial of it, and finally, Alford examines criticisms of the Trinity.

The Trinity
What is the Trinity? It is a divine revelation of God about Himself, both simple yet very deep and difficult to understand. There is only one God, but that one God exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Moreover, this three-in-one essence of God is absolutely necessary. God is love. Yet what is love? God is the selfless sacrifice of one person in sharing his possessions, his energies, his attention, his life, for another person. In order for love to exist, there must be three essential parts: he who does the loving, he who receives the loving, and the loving or evidence of the favor of one to the other. The Father loves, the Son is the beloved, and the Holy Spirit is the evidence of the Father's love to his Son.

Solution I just won't Go to Church Meditations on why and with what motive we participate in church. Are you part of the Redeemed? If you are, then how do you identify with that group? Isn't it by being a part of a group of the redeemed? (a church) Does God require you to congregate? Hebrews 10:24-25 What if there are no good churches around me? Corporate worship is essential in your Christian life. Edifying and being edified.
