Bill Schlegel | I took the Trinity Quiz @billschlegel1 | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Evangelical Protestants like to say they follow "Scripture alone". But do they?
I took the Trinity quiz on The Gospel Coalition's website (link below).
I make some comments along the way about the quiz, and about a few biblical verses that are presented on the website as evidence that God is a Trinity, and about two lectures on the Trinity by R.C. Sproul.
The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical Protestant organization. I was frustrated and surprised that during the quiz, only one Bible verse was given in support of declarations about the Trinity. Instead, the declarations were backed up by statements from the Athanasian Creed (c. AD 500) and modern theologians.
In the end, it seems like Evangelical Protestants are being hypocritical. While accusing Jews and Catholics of holding tradition as more authoritative than the Bible, Evangelicals depend on tradition to define their key concepts about who (or what) God and Jesus are.
