Abstract

The horizon of understanding the Trinity from the beginning of the church until now is still a subject of discussion that causes resistance. It takes place and is discussed among theologians and teachers of God's people. This cannot be separated from historical ignorance regarding the development of Christian doctrine. So it is deemed necessary to re-examine this noble subject by considering the methodology and history of its development. For later application in the Corinthian church. The hope is that this article can provide actual and contemporary understanding, even though it is not something new, through the presence of a thought that touches the depth of the problem. And giving birth to a conclusion focused on reconstructing the crucial point (the existence and existence of God in Christ). He approaches it with caution before expressing a theological opinion about the existence of God and His way of life. The findings show that the Corinthian congregation's understanding of God was only limited to a path to wisdom without knowing that Jesus was the God who saved humans throughout history. Applying it to the contemporary congregation, God's people must experience Jesus and accept Him personally in their faith. So that the understanding of Christ is rooted in the way God saves humans and can be accounted for historically.
