Synopsis

Substance Of A Discourse On The Doctrine Of The Trinity In Unity by Robert Harkness Carne. This sermon addresses the biblical basis for the Trinity, opening with the claim that there are three who bear record in heaven—the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost—and that these three are one. It considers objections such as claims of the passage’s interpolation and, proceeding from there, builds a case for the unity of God in three distinct persons by an extended scriptural demonstration. The discourse surveys Old Testament witnesses (notably Elohim as a plural divine title, plural verbs, and multiple divine witnesses) and New Testament testimony, including the baptism and ministries of Christ, to establish the personality and deity of the Father, the Son (the Word), and the Holy Spirit. It also engages with the disputed 1 John 5:7, cites patristic authorities, and argues that the three persons are one in essence yet distinct in subsistence and agency within the divine economy of salvation.
