| Feb 13, 2019 at 10:38 | comment | added | Lesley | I am a Trinitarian and concur with the last sentence in the article you gave a link to: “But with a biblical understanding of the Trinity we can say that God did not create in order to be loved, but rather, created out of the overflow of the perfect love that had always existed among Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who ever live in perfect and mutual relationship and delight.” Found this article about the Gospel Coalition and New Calvinism: gotquestions.org/new-calvinism.html | |
| Feb 13, 2019 at 10:37 | comment | added | Lesley | Thanks for the link. I’ve learned something new today, so it was worth getting out of bed! I understand that Tim Keller and John Piper are part of The Gospel Coalition and support the ‘New Calvinism’. I can see why Muslims struggle with the concept of the Trinity, but that’s mainly because they only perceive Jesus as a man and deny he pre-existed in heaven before he was born. | |

| Feb 10, 2019 at 23:30 | comment | added | למה זה תשאל לשמי | @Lesley If you search “Trinity God is love” in youtube or a search engine, you should get a number of hits. Also many debates and refutations by Muslim speakers. I've also heard this argument put forth by Tim Keller and John Piper. | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 17:30 | comment | added | Lesley | You say a common argument for the eternity of the Son "is that God is love, and thus there must have been an object that could be loved by him throughout all eternity." I've been a Christian (of the Protestant persuasion) for almost 23 years and have never heard of any such argument. I'm not doubting what you say, but would you please direct me to some source where this is explained? I'm really curious about this and would like to learn more. Thanks. | |
| Feb 8, 2019 at 23:48 | comment | added | Sola Gratia | "One form of trinitarianism is Binitarianism" Nope. That's as impossible as 'One form of square-type shape is a triangle.' You can't substitute 'three persons' for 'two persons' and still have a triad—trinity. | |

| Feb 8, 2019 at 3:05 | comment | added | user43409 | One form of trinitarianism is Binitarianism which is the same as trinitarianism without the Holy Spirit. That is, TWO co-equal and co-eternal beings composing God. Antitrinitarianism comes in several forms. Should we specify which form? | |
