Religion Course

Master of Religion Course - Lesson 6   Comments
Rev. Derek Kemp

I have enjoyed doing this course and find the doctrine of the Trinity to be particularly interesting.  The explanations from past theologians etc included in the course show how difficult it is to explain this doctrine. To the Christian, there is but one God and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are co-equal and form one Godhead.  The doctrine of the Trinity in Unity is a great mystery revealed partially by God but which we cannot understand as mortals, and are required to believe through faith. 

If we could truly understand, we ourselves would be equal to God but one day in the next life we will possibly have that understanding.  We must accept some things on faith and faith alone. There must be some mystery in religion - a sense of awe and majesty - particularly about God himself.  Man, however learned, cannot hope to fathom the deepest mysteries of our faith.  There would be no point in faith and belief if we understood everything.
