Genesis 1 is where we see the first biblical proclamation of the doctrine of the Trinity, the doctrine that God is one essence expressed through three eternal always existing persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Note, too, that in Genesis 1 the word used for God in the original Hebrew is Elohim, which means the uniplural One.
Many fear to tread into culturally charged topics in an “us” versus “them” social media climate characterized by rapid escalation, rabid judgments, and character.
