The Trinity is a (semantic, logical, cosmological, theological, psychological, and philosophical) construct, a theological conjecture; created by flawed and fallible Homo sapiens who want to understand something no one really understands: the way God relates to God’s self. The word “Trinity” never appears in the Bible. God, Jesus, nor the silent Holy Spirit refers to themselves as a Trinity. The readers of scripture are never privy to discussions of substance and form between the members of the Godhead as we’ll later find in minutes of the historic councils of the church. Matters important to defining Christian orthodoxy seem to be of little matter to the deity, the deity’s son, or the spirit whom we debate or celebrate in art.
We, the Homo sapiens in question, came up with that word, developed something that sounded rational and applied to God. For something completely man made, built on a inferences and interpretations of a handful of scripture, we created Orthodoxy from nothing. From Jesus’ teachings about family, fathers, relationships and the spirit; we made hard and fast rules about heresies that still divide the church. Trinity Sunday, far from being something to be celebrated, looks to me to me to be a day for caution and prayer. This is what happens when we make up our own doctrines and start selling the fake news story to the church that God created a rigid hierarchy which really started on our own whiteboard. The truth is: God was nowhere to be found when we made up the Trinity and turned it into a tool to isolate, annoy, and explain God’s expansive love in terms of dysfunctional family.
Let’s be careful with what we’re celebrating and explaining on Trinity Sunday. Maybe, like Lucy coming home to Ricky, we still have some explaining to do. My gut tells me it doesn’t involve eggs, clovers, or anything about a doctrine we made up. I think we need to stop making new stuff up, reading stuff into the text, and even the fancy stuff we’ve inherited (that was made up) question it, because it may be not be all it’s cracked up to be. The Trinity works best when we remember it’s really a theory. Love is a doctrine. That’s something you can prove. Jesus wouldn’t let go of love. Nor should we. Dr. Dunamis Starr
