The End of the Mystery Offers New Challenges for Unaware Christians

d of the Mystery Offers New Challenges for Unaware Christians    

Our understanding of God has greatly increased over the past three years with the passing of the so-called mystery of the Trinity. The news of this colossal event however, has yet to reach many of the members within Christianity.

While Christianity is crying out for a greater revelation of God, God has already answered their prayer. Could there be a greater revelation of God than revealing the mysterious Trinity. For nearly 1700 years, Christianity has been plagued with the embarrassment of having its most important doctrine referred to as a mystery. Certainly when the conclave of bishops (better known as the council of Nicea), set out to clarify the Trinity in 325AD, they could not have envisioned such a thing.

The set of documents produced by that council did an excellent job of explaining and defining the Trinity and most Christian churches still rely on those teachings today. The mystery came about because the council unknowingly excluded two important details from the documents. For centuries, Bible scholars and Church leaders searched diligently for those missing details without much success. Finally, at the onset of this century, the answer was revealed. The findings actually achieved the council’s original goal of bringing clarity to the Trinity. The only thing necessary to completely remove all evidence of the mystery from the Trinity is to incorporate these findings into the present doctrine. While this is may seem like an easy task, it may prove to be extremely difficult.

Without a doubt this is news of historic proportions for the Church and sure to open new doors with challenging opportunities. These new findings not only produce new expectations for evangelism, meaning non-believers will have to take another look at Christianity, but will also enable the elimination of analogies such as the 3-leaf clover, the 3-parts of an egg and the 3-stages of water to explain the Trinity.

Still, the biggest challenge facing this landmark occurrence is skepticism within the Church. After 1700 years, many within the Church have resigned themselves to the tradition that the Trinity shall never become comprehensible even though God states in the Book of Isaiah that He has never kept secrets from us from the beginning. Even so, it will be hard to convince many leaders and scholars who have lived with the mystery all their lives. Another challenge is promoting it to those who oppose it. The consensus is that this is merely another ploy to try to convince them of something that cannot be known as they refuse to even look at the evidence.

One further point to consider — most Christians are unaware of the news. While Christians should be rejoicing in the streets there is a deafening silence, and without publicity, no one will know. If no one knows, we go on living a mystery. If we go on living a mystery, we not only lose the opportunities, but we also leave our next generation with the same old legacy we were taught. Removing the mystery reveals more than just the Godhead, but issues concerning life itself. We have yet to comprehend what results these findings will generate, but the impact shall be felt forever. Who knows, maybe someday there will be dancing in the streets.
