Does tomorrows world believe in the trinity
Well, greetings, everybody! You're living in a world that is just filled with religious confusion. I wonder if you've ever stopped to think about how many religions we have — in other parts of the world — we don't think of them much here in the United States: Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, Hinduism, the Moslem religion that fills the Arab world and spills over into a great deal more, especially in Africa, then the religion of Christianity that pretty well engulfs the world, but especially in Europe and America, and South America.
The largest religion in the world is the Roman Catholic religion, and if you take what is called Christianity including the Protestant religion, it is really by far bigger. Now, you might have thought that some religion like Buddhism or Confucianism would be larger, because they're the religions over in India and China, and nations like that that are far more populous nations, and so many more people than there are here, but the Christian religion, as it is called, is by far the largest.
Well, the generally accepted Christian teaching about God, now getting into the Christian religion,
Is The Holy Spirit a Person?
MILLIONS believe it fervently. Some of the world's greatest minds have pondered and written about it. So why shouldn't you also believe and accept the doctrine of the trinity — that the Holy Spirit is a person, just like God the Father and Jesus Christ?
But wait! What did they believe and what have they pondered? Did these "great minds" really prove the doctrine of the trinity to themselves, not to mention to others? Let the record speak for itself.
"We cannot doubt the existence among orthodox Fathers of different opinions on this mysterious subject until its final definition by the Church" ("Trinity," Dictionary of Doctrinal and Historical Theology).
It has always been a mystery, filled with controversy and difficult for everybody to comprehend. All scholarly attempts at understanding have only added misunderstanding! All theological attempts at clarity have only added confusion.
See if you can understand this:
"Some said that there was but one substance in the God-head, others, three. Some allowed, some rejected the terms... according as the

“Tomorrow’s World: About Us
Tomorrow’s World is sponsored by the Living Church of God under the leadership of Roderick C. Meredith, one of the original evangelists ordained in December 1952 by the late Herbert W. Armstrong.” (1)
“The Living Church of God (LCG) is one of the church groups formed by followers of the teachings of the late Herbert W. Armstrong. It was formed as a series of major doctrinal changes were introduced in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG, originally incorporated as the Radio Church of God) after Armstrong’s death in 1986. The leader of the Living Church of God, called the presiding evangelist, is Roderick C. Meredith. Meredith had been a high ranking evangelist in the WCG since 1952, and in terms of ordinations conducted by Herbert W. Armstrong, he has the most seniority. The church places strong emphasis on the Hebrew roots of Christianity. The church holds generally that members should not take part in politics, juries or military serv
What is the Living Church of God, and what are their beliefs?
Answer
The Living Church of God (LCG), headed by Presiding Evangelist Roderick C. Meredith, grew as an offshoot of Herbert W. Armstrong’s Worldwide Church of God. The Living Church of God claims that the name “Church of God” is the only biblical name for a church and was given by God Himself (Acts 20:28). The ways in which the Living Church of God differs from historic Christianity are numerous, and because of their distinct errors—a strange mixture of the Jehovah’s Witness belief, Mormonism, and apocalyptic fear—this “church” could be categorized as a cultto be avoided.
The Living Church of God believes that they are the “true Church of God that stands apart from this religious Babylon,” meaning all other Christian denominations. Their website makes continued references to the errors and false teaching of “mainstream Christianity” and “most ministers.” The Living Church of God has a defining focus on legalism. They claim that salvation is by faith in Christ’s finished work (Hebrews 9:15), yet they place equal emphasis on Law-keeping. They state that the Law God gave the Israelites is binding on New
