   To deny one’s nature as a human being and in one’s pride neglect to search for wisdom is to suffer with the ungodly (Ps. 14:1– 7; Prov. 1:20– 22). The human being is profoundly a unity, a soul. St. Paul’s use of anthropological terms is an insightful expression of this conviction (Jewett, 1971).

   contradictory. The doctrine of the Trinity is not the self-contradictory doctrine that three gods are somehow one God, or that three persons are somehow one person. Rather, the doctrine states that there are three persons in the one God. Another way to put it: God is tri-personal.

   Jul 6, 2022 · Unity Has Always Been Hard. Don’t get me wrong: God is all for unity between God’s children. Scripture describes the experience of unity as “good and pleasant” (Psalm 133:1), and it commands all Christians to diligently pursue “being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord” (Philippians 2:2).

   What does self mean to a Christian?

   • As I have suggested previ-ously, “self,” as the Christian understands the term, implies an onto-logical dimension that follows from the intimacy of the commitment of God’s self to his creation and the capacity of humankind to seek to bear fruit as it comes to love God and grows to understand its calling to be in the image of God.

   Is God a person?

   • Rather, God is three persons. This is the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. God is personal, yes, but he is not “a” person. This is what serves to distinguish Christianity from other monotheistic faiths like Judaism or Islam which also agree that there is one God who is personal but they think there is only one person who is God.

   Is there only one God?

   • According to the Logos doctrine, there is only one God but this God is not an undifferentiated unity. Rather certain aspects of his mind become expressed as distinct individuals. The Logos doctrine of the Greek apologists thus involves a fundamental reinterpretation of the fatherhood of God.

   Is there a wholeness about the human self?

   • There is a wholeness about the human self as thus conceived, at least potentially, that is compatible with the wholeness of God himself. The human is not a divided being any more than God and therefore cannot be understood as divided into body, mind, and spirit. Linguis-tic usage in the Bible makes this plain.
