The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Is the Trinity a true doctrine of the Christian faith? Thoughts on Jehovah's Witnesses

In Jehovah's Witness theology, the Trinity is not a true doctrine; that is, it is considered satanic and pagan in origin.  However, the Bible teaches the doctrine of the Blessed and Holy Trinity; that is, there is one God revealed in three distinct persons. 

But the Watchtower calls the Trinity doctrine a deceptive doctrine (Reconciliation, 1928, p. 101) and to worship God means to reject the Triune nature of God (Should You Believe in the Trinity? 1989, p. 31).  They also say that there is no mention of a trinity in the Bible (Let God Be True, 1946 [1952 rev.], p. 111). 

The words theocracy or Jehovah is not found in the Bible, but the concept is.  The concept of the Trinity is found in the Bible and it must be embraced as true doctrine from God.
