Summary
“How can we prove the Holy Trinity?” In this episode, we tackle common objections, including whether the Trinity is mentioned in the New Testament and how God can be both one and three persons. We also explore the relationship between the Trinity and the Christian understanding of God as Love, addressing logical concerns along the way.
