Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about the importance of the doctrine of the Trinity and what it is (and isn’t).

How do we define the Trinity?
Why is it important to try to understand this doctrine?
If the word Trinity isn’t in the bible, why is it a core Christian doctrine?
Does the Trinity have a hierarchy?
What sets God apart from His creatures?
Helpful Definitions:
Trinity: God eternally exists as one essence and three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of which is fully God, yet there is One God.

Questions Covered in This Episode:
While we have unity in Christ…what 2nd, 3rd or 4th tier issues "divide" my favorite podcasters?
What do you think are going to be the challenges of ministry in the local church in the next ten years?
My local church has a tone of saying: “Just because you study the bible doesn’t mean you're mature in the faith…and discipleship doesn’t happen in programs, it happens in real relationships” Although both are true, I feel like it’s downplaying the indeed for people to be in active learning spaces. I’m just a volunteer bible teacher, help
When you go deer hunting, you fill a bucket with corn feed to get the deer to come out of hiding. If we were hunting you, what would we have to fill a bucket with to find you?
Should Christians watch the Chosen?
Should there be apprehension toward hiring a pastor without formal seminary training?

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer listeners' questions!
Questions Covered in This Episode:
Is it necessary to categorize God’s attributes as communicable v.s. Incommunicable? It seems like the incommunicable attributes are just communicable attributes cranked up?
Has Kyle gotten any better at brushing his teeth?
How would you interpret John 14:28 in light of the Trinity?
How essential is formal ministry training versus experience/time for lay leaders?
What was a highlight of 2022 for each of you? Would love an update from each of you personally and professionally too: Any new projects or adventures in 2023?
What is the number one concern on your heart for the church as we head into a new year?
What is a song (or a lyric from a song) in the advent season that resonates in a meaningful or impactful way in your life and heart, as you reflect on the birth of Christ?
Can you know God without knowing the attributes of God? Should a believer be able to name His attributes?
Is there now a difference between the people of Israel and the elect? Or are the elect now considered God’s chosen people?
Any chance you will spend more time on Calvinism in the future? The topic scares a lot of people, including myself, but I’m wondering if I should continue to go to a church that believes this, even if I don’t?
Is it heretical or heterodox when one does not believe in the Trinity but in modalism (think Oneness Pentecostals)?
Why are you guys so awesome?
Years ago I had a friend in the psychiatric profession and He said some individuals are pure evil–this leads to my question: Is possession by demons, evil spirits, still occurring?
Helpful Definitions:
Nestorianism: Overemphasizes the two natures of the Son and essentially separates them.
Resources Mentioned in This Episode:
John 14:28, John 13-17, John 3, Genesis 3, 1 Peter 5:8
#170 – Doctrine of God Roundup with Dr. Matthew Barrett
Saison 9 · Épisode 24
jeudi 22 décembre 2022 • Durée 44:10
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Matthew Barrett to discuss some big picture ideas on the Doctrine of God.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
Why did you write “None Greater?”
Is an attribute of God something God has or something God is?
What do we lose if we lose the Divine Simplicity of God?
When we talk about some of these attributes, love for example, how does saying that God is love or that God loves not challenge the doctrine of impassibility? Does God have an emotional life? If not, then how does saying “God loves you” mean anything?
What do we do with language that seems to communicate that God is passionate?
Can you give a brief explanation of the doctrine of the eternal functional subordination of the Son and what you think of it?
Why do you find this view concerning?
Helpful Definitions:
Divine Simplicity: The incomprehensible God we are speaking of is without parts, His essence is His attributes and His attributes is His essence.
Pure Actuality: God is so alive and complete and therefore, never has to be changed, acted upon or moved. He is life without measure.
Passive Potency: We have potential that has to be activated in order to be brought to completion.
Theistic Mutualism, Theistic Personalism, Mono Polytheism: Describing the God of modern theology in broad strokes. This God is one but not all that different from gods in polytheistic religions. These are gods that might feel comforting to us at first but not that we would worship in the end
Immutable: From eternity past to eternity future God is unchanging. God is always the same.
Aseity: God is a se, or has aseity: He is self-existent and self-sufficient.
Impassibility: God is without passions.
Passions: Exist whenever a finite creature is acted upon by, effected by, or even changed by something external to ourself; a change occurs within that moves you.
Eternal Functional Subordination: The way we should think of the trinity is in terms of roles and relationships of hierarchy, authority, and submission. The Father has greater authority and power than the Son (Still equal in essence). The Holy Spirit is functionally lower still.
