In the 3rd Century CE, our ancestors found it necessary to discuss the complex idea of the “Trinity” as a means to differentiate themselves from a growing movement trying to pull Christianity into a polytheistic understanding of God. It is a concept that has confused and frustrated many over the centuries. It led to the schism between east and west, in the reformation Calvin executed those who preached against it, and in our own time, there are churches that require fully assenting to the concept of 3 in1 in order to participate in full membership of the church. But it is a concept that is missing in any true structured form within the text of the Bible. This leads some to reject it, claiming that there is too much baggage and frustration around it. But I really love the idea of the trinity, because in this confusing and hard to nail down idea we see the “Queering” of God. So join me and Missiongathering Charlotte as we dive into the Trinity.
