This concept of ultimate truth and the Holy Trinity is a diicult one for me to

understand, much less explain. Listening to the video from week one again

got me thinking of what it really means to dene truth. Dr. Henderson

begins by explaining that human beings cannot begin to understand the

Triune relationship God the Father has with God the Son and God the Holy

Spirit ad each with Him. They are mind to mind, heart to heart

connections. Being a Christian and believing in the Trinity is also believing

that God breathed those things that are completely true. God is the

objective truth and we cannot as humans compare. He is un-moved by

emotion, He is completely separated from social context or culture or each

individual understanding of what is true.

It is hard to grasp what is the meaning of truth, however, as Christians we

do have the Bible, breathed by the Holy Spirit, a part of the Trinity and

therefore part of God the father and God the son, it is our world view to be a

Christian as stated by Groothuis in his lecture of Truth Decay (part 1).

There are so many things to consider when contemplating true truth

however, after listening and reading this week I believe it is the duty of all

Chrsitians to whole heartedly determine that they will believe the Bible as

complete fact, complete truth. We must be prepared to present our faith as

completely, factually true. I do not think this will be an easy task, as there

are many people Christians included who cannot even begin to acknowledge

this type of whole hearted thinking.
