Why is it necessary to establish the independent attributes, personhood, and our direct relationship with the Father?
After establishing the Biblical foundation for monotheism, and as we establish all of this for each member of the Trinity, we more easily understand 4 realities:
1. God is in fact a representation of 3 persons.
2. We do not have a representation of 3 different gods.
3. God cannot be one single being with Christ simply being a man created by God and the Holy Spirit being a force or power of God (Unitarianism).
4. God cannot be simply expressing Himself by changing into 3 different personalities (Oneness Doctrine / Modalism); God does not change.
