Denying the Trinity

by | Feb 21, 2025 | Refuting the Critics, Theology

Our feedback this week comes from someone we’ll call “Liam.”  He rejects the Trinity and specifically rejects that Jesus is God and that the Holy Spirit is a Person of the triune God.  The interesting thing about Liam’s response is that most of his arguments were already refuted in the very articles he’s criticizing.  It always seems strange to me when a person responds to a refutation of their argument by simply repeating the argument.  For example, there is the fallacy of claiming that the Holy Spirit isn’t a Person of the Trinity because in many instances only the Father and Son are mentioned in a greeting.  That is the fallacy of the argument from silence as I demonstrated earlier.  But there were a couple of new arguments that will be addressed here and in the next article. 

Denying the Trinity – Part 2

We have been examining the claims of Liam, who denies the Trinity in general and who, in particular, denies that Jesus is God.  This ultimately is not an intellectual exercise but a spiritual one.  It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that a person can declare with conviction that Jesus is Yahweh – the Lord.  1 Corinthians 12:3b states, “And no one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.”  Furthermore, confessing Jesus as Lord is a requirement for salvation (Romans 10:9-13), for there is no Savior besides the one and only Yahweh (Isaiah 43:11).  Therefore, if Jesus is not Yahweh, then neither can He be your Savior.
