Theology Proper
God is what He is in Himself, not what we project onto Him, but what He has revealed. One God, eternal and simple, subsisting in three persons.
I believe in one God, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. He is the self-existent and self-sufficient Creator and Sustainer of all things, existing in Himself without need of anything outside Himself. He is pure spirit, without body or parts, altogether simple in His essence.
I believe this one God eternally subsists in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. The doctrine of the Trinity is not a later theological invention but the very shape of God as He has revealed Himself in Holy Scripture. The eternal generation of the Son and the eternal procession of the Spirit from the Father and the Son are not metaphors but ontological realities grounding the Christian understanding of God.
I hold to classical theism, divine simplicity, immutability, and impassibility , not as philosophical impositions on Scripture, but as the best account of what Scripture itself teaches. God does not become, does not change, and is not acted upon by creation. His sovereignty extends over all things, including human decisions, without making Him the author of evil or man a mere puppet.
1689 Confession
Chapter 2: Of God and of the Holy Trinity, God is “most holy, most free, most absolute, working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will, for his own glory”; “without body, parts, or passions”; “most pure spirit.” The same chapter affirms the eternal subsistence of three persons in one divine essence.
