Wes Huff Explains the Trinity

What is the Trinity?

And is this concept of God biblical?

The 3-minute video provided here shows Wes Huff describing the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) for Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh of the Flagrant Podcast. Wes clearly demonstrates that the Trinitarian view of God was not only early (historically) but also biblical.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-3,14 📕

Jesus’s Claims to be God (the Son)

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him (Jesus): ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God’. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
– C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)“Relating to Jesus as to God is important for every aspect of the Christian life. We hope it is obvious that understanding Jesus’ deity is extremely relevant to how we relate to Jesus. Knowing that he is God incarnate is the only sound foundation for approaching Jesus, for coming to him in prayer, and for trusting in him for salvation. Relating to Jesus as God is also crucial to the message we take to the rest of the world. We must know whom we represent if we are to represent him faithfully. Our Christian walk, witness, and worship must all reflect a sound understanding of the identity of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Dr. Robert M. Bowman
