Ericksons exploration of the three-in-oneness


Problem:

Please rephrase and edit the grammar only, "Erickson's exploration of the Three-in-Oneness revolves around the apparent tension between God's oneness and threeness, a tension the early church grappled with. While no explicit biblical statement on the Trinity exists, Erickson presents several lines of evidence supporting the Three-in-Oneness. One traditional reference is 1 John 5:7, though its textual basis is debated. The use of the plural form for the God of Israel, 'elohim, is seen by some as a hint at trinitarianism. The interpretation of 'elohim as a plural of majesty is contested, with arguments for a quantitative plural, highlighting unity in diversity. Biblical passages like Genesis 1:26, where God says, "Let us make mankind," and the baptismal formula in Matthew 28:19, emphasizing unity with no suggestion of hierarchy, are considered evidence. The image of God in humankind, particularly in male and female unity, is seen as hinting at the Trinity. Various passages throughout the New Testament link the three persons, showing their unity and equality. Paul's writings, such as the benediction in 2 Corinthians 13:14, demonstrate a close relationship among the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Gospels, especially John, provide strong evidence of the Three-in-Oneness, emphasizing the interdynamics and unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Erickson 2013, 297-302). In conclusion, while the Trinity is not explicitly stated in the Bible, Erickson argues that the numerous suggestions of the deity and unity of the three persons justify the church's formulation of the doctrine.
