Question | Answer |
---|---|
There is only one God. | "I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God besides me. (Isaiah 45:5) |
In God there are three Divine Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. | "Going, therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 28:19) |
The Father is God and the first Person of the Blessed Trinity. | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 1:3) |
The Son is God and the second Person of the Blessed Trinity. | "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) |
The Holy Ghost is God and the third Person of the Blessed Trinity. | Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (I Corinthians 3:16) |
The three Divine Persons are really distinct from one another. | And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove, upon him. And a voice came from heaven: "Thou art my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased." (Luke 3:22) |
A supernatural mystery is a truth which we cannot fully understand, but which we firmly believe because we have God's word for it. | "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8 |
The three Divine Persons are perfectly equal to one another, because all are one and the same God. | I and the Father are one. (John 10:30) |
