We shall therefore quote only passages from the Scriptures in order to determine and establish the divinity of Christ. 3 The great universities have invented manifold distinctions, dreams and fictions by means of which they would explain the Holy Trinity, and have made fools of themselves. I have often told you that this, as well as every other article of faith, must not be based upon reason or comparisons, but must be understood and established by means of passages from the Scriptures, for God has the only perfect knowledge and knows how to speak concerning himself. It is a heavenly mystery which the world cannot understand. ![]() For this reason it sounds somewhat cold and we had better speak of “God” than of the “Trinity.” 2 This word signifies that there are three persons in God. It is indeed true that the name “Trinity” is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man.
