CFC 226  Discussion Do we believe in one God or three Gods? ➔ We believe in ONE God in three persons, the Trinity. ➔ The word Trinity comes from the Latin “trinitas” which means the state of being threefold. ➔ We do not worship three different Gods, but one single Being that is threefold YouCat 35 and yet remains one.  Discussion Can we deduce logically that God is triune? ➔ No. The fact that there are three persons in one God is a mystery. ➔ We know only through Jesus that God is Trinitarian. ❏ He speaks of the Father in Heaven. He prays to Him. ❏ He sends us the Holy Spirit. YouCat 36  Discussion St. Augustine saw a child scooping water from the sea into a hole in the sand.

YouCat 31  Discussion Why does God give Himself a name? ➔ YHWH or YAHWEH is the most important name of God in the Old Testament. It can be translated as “I am who I am”. ➔ Out of reverence for God, the name of God was not spoken in Israel; the YouCat 31 title Adonai (Lord) is substituted.  Discussion The Prince ‫הזאת‬ 🔯🔯🔯 ‫את תבל‬of ‫יושיע‬ Egypt‫אלהים‬ - God Speaks to Moses [1080p HD] Let’s The Burning Bush Scene From the Movie The Prince of Egypt by Dreamworks in Full HD 1080p (For English Subtitles click on the [Subtitles/closed captions] icon 📼 bellow the video) 🔯🔯🔯 watch this!  Discussion What should you do once you have come to know God? ➔ Once you have come to know God, you must put Him in the first place of your life.
