Creation and the trinity
What do Christian beliefs about the creation of the earth teach about God and the Trinity?
i know that catholic’s take the bibles account of creation as fictional so don’t believe it to be fact. they instead believe that it’s an anecdote to teach about gods omnipotence and follow the science behind the big bang. some more fundamental christians believe the bible to be fact. it depends on the denomination really.
are you asking this for exam help or general curiosity for the trinity question? because i can explain it in a simple way or use terminology that will bag you some extra exam marks.
ye that would be nice
Do you do AQA Re?
I mean the Lords Prayer refers to the 3 parts of the Trinity so you can use that as evidence that the Father, the Son and The holy spirit play an important role in a Christian's life.
And the quote "we are all created in the image of God" is helpful

God used creatures and creation generally to successfully counsel Job who had evidently lost sight of God's greatness, goodness and provision for man . .. before we appeared on the scene.
As a wealthy man, Job would have enjoyed riding horses, breeding and eating cattle, watching lions hunt their prey, watching Birds of prey, peacocks wings etc. . . if God had given all these things and more for man's provision, enjoyment, wonder and emulation (biomimicry is the cutting edge of science), why should he live in fear of God as some sort of ogre?

Of the 12 tribes of Israel, none received land more beautiful than Naphtali.
Their land has been called "the Garden of Palestine". Their inheritance fell in the region of Galilee.
This tribe possessed the most fertile and productive region in all of Canaan.
Shepherds and farmers alike found the soil and vegetation of this area extremely fertile and able to support large flocks and herds. The area is well watered by multiple sources; principally the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee and Mount Hermon that overlooks the area 39 miles away. In antiquity, the mountains of Galilee bore the name the Mountains of Naphtali.
Jospehus: “Its nature is wonderful as well as its beauty. Its soil is so fruitful that all sorts of trees can grow upon it, and the inhabitants accordingly plant all sorts of trees there; for the temperature of the air is so well mixed that it agrees very well with those several sorts; particularly walnuts, which require the coldest air, flourish there in vast plenty. One may call this the ambition of nature, where it forces those plants which are naturally enemies to one another to agree together. It is a happy conjunction of the seasons, as if every one laid claim to this country; for it not only nourishes different sorts of autumnal fruits beyond people’s expectations, but preserves them a great while. It supplies people with the principal fruits; with grapes and figs continually during ten months of the year, and the rest of the fruits, as they become ripe, through the whole year; for, besides the good temperature of the air, it is also watered from a most fertile fountain.”
Jesus was planted in that "garden" and grew as a "green tree" (Luke 23:31) until he was uprooted from the earth and left to wither ("I thirst") until dead, like Adam and his descendants.
(Jesus also began where the Assyrian invasion began in about 745BC – 2 Kings 15:29).
But the death of one seed was to be Life to many …
