Is the Trinity actually taught in the Bible?
In this episode of Ask Dr. E, Michael Easley answers a question about whether God could simply be one being who appears in different forms throughout Scripture. Dr. E identifies this view as modalism and explains why it fails to account for the distinct nature of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Rather than beginning with theological labels, Dr. E walks through Scripture and examines what the Bible reveals about God.
