Some think the Trinity is a mystery that we will never be able to understand. Others try to explain the Trinity using analogies that lead to heresy. This show with Dr. Sanders will help you understand the Trinity and be able to accurately answer the question, "Who is God?" And by the way, this is the most important question we can answer. 0:00 Introduction 1. 1:28 - How important is the doctrine of the Trinity? 2. 2:01 - Do Christians have a good understanding of the Trinity? 3. 3:54 - How often do Christians make heretical statements about God? 4. 6:29 - How would you correct someone who makes heretical statements? 5. 8:43 - How are the Father and Son equal when one is the father and the other is the son? 6. 10:32 - Is the Trinity understandable? 7. 12:59 - What is a clear and accurate explanation of the Trinity? 8. 18:07 - Is the Trinity only one in purpose? 9. 18:48 - How would you respond to the 1+1+1=1 objection? 10. 20:21 - How helpful are analogies when understanding the Trinity? 11. 24:35 - Should Christians stay away from Trinitarian analogies? 12. 25:30 - Do we make the Trinity unnecessarily more mysterious? 13. 27:25 - Is the Trinity in the Bible? 14. 29:20 - Was the Trinity created at the council of Nicaea? 15. 33:01 - How is Jesus both God and man? 16. 39:28 - Didn't Jesus change when he was born?
