In his view the New Testament rather obviously implies that the one God is the Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the Son, he argues that in various passages he is<strong> called &#8220;God over all,&#8221;<\/strong> &#8220;our Great God and Savior,&#8221; and &#8220;the true God.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I respon<\/strong>d, critically weighing the evidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the Holy Spirit, he argues from John 14, in which God&#8217;s spirit is spoken of in personal terms, as a &#8220;he&#8221; and a &#8220;Helper.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does all of this, including what he argued in the previous episode, amount to <strong>a strong case<\/strong> that New Testament theology is trinitarian and not unitarian?
