Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 8 & 9

  1. If there is only one God, why do the Scriptures speak of “gods”? (i.e. Deut.  6:14)
  2. Why does our catechism stress that God is the “living” and “true” God? What do the words “living” and “true” communicate? What errors do they correct?
  3. Why is it important to stress that God is one before speaking about the plurality in the Godhead What error does this guard against?
  4. Who are the three persons of the Trinity? What do the three persons share in common as the one living and true God? What distinguished them from each other?
  5. Though it is true that the doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery (God is incomprehensible, remember?), our confession says that the  “doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on him (Second London Confession, 2.3). What is the meaning of this statement? How does the doctrine of the Trinity serve as the foundation of our communion with God and bring comfort to God’s people?
