The Doctrine of the Trinity is very central to Christian faith. It is found in a late 4th century version in the Nicene Creed (we use the 381 C. E. version) formulated to resolve the issue of Jesus' relationship to the Father and the Holy Spirit. The question centered around whether Jesus was indeed Divine and Co-eternal with the other two parts of the Trinity or whether Jesus was in some way "created" by the Father and the Spirit. It was an important argument at the time and some of the language that seems so technical in the Creed exists to spell this out. Take a look at the Nicene Creed for a moment. Where do you think this special language occurs?
