How did the Trinity come to be? – The Nicene Creed Post 1

Most of my blog posts are personal experiences with little research. They’re mostly just stream-of-thought writing. That’s what I prefer. Every once in a while, I want to write about a topic I know nothing about, which results in some (or a lot) of research. My Adam-God Theory post is one that comes to mind.

The Lesser Talked about Sacrifice of the Atonement

One of the tragedies the trinitarian belief (that God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are one being) has taken away is appreciation and understanding of God’s part of the sacrifice in the Atonement. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.” Doesn’t mean much if there isn’t actually a

Godhead – My Understanding

Lectures 3 and 4 are about the unchanging attributes of God and why understanding those attributes is necessary for our faith. The points made in

Lectures on Faith – Lecture 2: The Object of Faith

A main theme throughout the Lectures on Faith is God’s perfect attributes.  Logically, for us to be able to have any faith in God He must be perfect.  We must know that we can trust God and, in turn, His Son, Jesus Christ.  The major theme I took away from Lecture 2 specifically is how

Lectures on Faith

Lectures on Faith – Introduction and Lecture 1: Faith Defined. I’ve been watching a series of videos on the Lectures on Faith as supplemental material to my study of the Lectures. If you’re not familiar with the lectures on faith, you can read them all here: https://lecturesonfaith.com/ It’s unclear who officially wrote the Lectures on
