Does the idea of the Trinity even make sense? Some have alleged that the idea of God or the idea of God being a Trinity is incoherent or contradictory. They say that God can't possibly be both three and one at the same time. But can He? And what about Christians who disagree about the Trinity? Some Christians tend to emphasize God's oneness and unity more, while others emphasize His threeness and internal relationships more. So which views are correct? Can they be reconciled?

You can find the book "Two Views on the Doctrine of the Trinity" that I recommended here: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Views-Doctrine-Trinity-Counterpoints-ebook/dp/B00H6Y0RS8/.

Click here https://linktr.ee/convincingproof/ for articles, podcasts, and other resources from Convincing Proof that give good reasons and evidence to believe that Christianity is true. You can find resources on apologetics, theology, philosophy, ethics, and more.

You can order a copy of my book, "Divine Love Theory: How the Trinity is the Source and Foundation of Morality," from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Love-Theory-Foundation-Morality/dp/0825447577/.

Like Jesus and His disciples (Luke 8:3), my missionary work with Convincing Proof is funded by a large team of people, most of whom are investing a small amount on a monthly basis. If God leads you to invest in my work, you can donate to Convincing Proof Ministries by visiting this link: https://convincingproof.org/donate/. Your support is greatly appreciated!
