THE RELEVANCE OF THE BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE GOD TRINITY

Abstract

The scientific article analyzes and describes the formation of the Christian doctrine of the Triune God in historical progression and during polemical debates with heretics. The author comes to the conclusion that God revealed to His people that He is one, and there are no other gods. The people of that time were surrounded by peoples who adhere to polytheism, so first of all it was necessary for God to establish the understanding that there is only one God. There are some words in the Old Testament that indicate the multiplicity that exists in God. Allusions to the Trinity are mysteriously traced, which in the light of the New Testament will be obvious. The Old Testament reveals the Son of God through various images, such as the Angel of the Lord, as Divine Wisdom, as the Word of God. The full revelation of the Second Hypostasis of the Trinity has not yet come from God, but the world is already preparing to accept the incarnation of the Son of God. Although the Old Testament speaks a lot about the unity of God, there is no shortage of hints about the plurality of the Godhead, and that the multitude is a trinity. The Old Testament shows the Son, who is different from the Father and is revealed as the angel of the Lord, and as the Word of God, as the Wisdom of God. The Old Testament also points to the Holy Spirit, who is different from the Father and the Son, and works together with them. The object of research is the Biblical dogma about the Holy Trinity. This dogma is the basis of the Christian religion, as well as the highest goal of theology, because the knowledge of the mystery of the Trinity leads the believer to the fullness of the Divine life. The subject of the study is the genesis and development of the dogma of the Trinity based on revelation in the Holy Scriptures and in the process of its formation in the history of the Church. The purpose of the work is to analyze and describe the formation of the Christian doctrine of the Triune God in historical progression and during polemical debates with heretics. To achieve the set goal of the work, the following task will be solved — consider the evidence of the Holy Scriptures about the trinity of God and make jointtheological conclusions within the framework of monotheism.
