The doctrine of the Holy Spirit and its praxis has been controversial among God's people. This controversy has even emerged since the beginning of the church about the person and position of the Holy Spirit with God the Father and the Son. This article aims to briefly explore the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and its praxis into the community of God's people. The writing method used is a praxis systematic critical method to examine the various nuances of the argument against the Holy Spirit with the aim of placing it in a proper understanding of the trinity concept. The result of this writing is the doctrine of the Holy Spirit there is no personality difference between God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, because humans meet these "persons" in every spiritual aspect. By conceptualizing God in the realm of the Spirit of God, it will be a more practical way to describe activities in community life.

Metode penulisan yang digunakan adalah metode kritis sistematis praksis untuk menelaah berbagai nuansa argumen terhadap Roh Kudus dengan tujuan menempatkannya dalam pemahaman yang tepat tentang konsep trinitas. Hasil dari penulisan ini adalah doktrin Roh Kudus tidak ada perbedaan kepribadian antara Allah Bapa, Anak dan Roh Kudus, karena manusia bertemu dengan “pribadi-pribadi” ini dalam setiap aspek rohani.

The word “person” is generally used to refer to the existence of both humans and God. For humans, being a person means being able to think logically, have self-awareness, make free choices, and therefore be recognized morally and legally. The Christian faith believes in God as a Divine Person. The Dogma of the Trinity teaches faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Three Persons of one nature. Christological dogma teaches that Jesus is a Person who has both divine and human natures. However, what is a person? Specifically, what is the Divine Person? The answer to those questions is found not in the Bible but in the philosophical and theological tracts. This article presents Richard of Saint Victor’s argument on the Divine Person. In his De Trinitate, he sees that the definition of the Divine Person can explain the mystery of the Trinity. Richard borrows this existing understanding, especially from that of Boethius. However, he also offers novelty, which is still relevant today, namely the Trinitarian God as a Divine Person with summa caritas, perfect co-love that is unselfish, non-exclusive, and embraces diversity., Kata “persona” umumnya digunakan untuk menyebut keberadaan manusia maupun Allah. Bagi manusia, menjadi persona berarti mampu berpikir dengan akal sehat, memiliki kesadaran diri, membuat pilihan bebas, dan karena itu mendapat pengakuan secara moral maupun hukum. Iman Kristiani mengimani Allah sebagai Pribadi Ilahi. Dogma Trinitas mengajarkan iman akan Allah Bapa, Putra, dan Roh Kudus, Tiga Pribadi satu Kodrat. Dogma Kristologi mengajarkan bahwa Yesus adalah Pribadi yang berkodrat ilahi dan insani. Namun, apa itu persona? Lebih spesifik, apa itu Persona Ilahi? Jawaban atas pertanyaan itu ditemukan bukan dalam Alkitab, melainkan dalam traktat filsafat dan teologi. Artikel ini memaparkan argumen Richard dari Santo Viktor tentang Persona Ilahi. Dalam karyanya De Trinitate ia membuat sebuah definisi tentang Persona Ilahi dalam rangka menjelaskan misteri Trinitas. Richard berutang pada pemahaman yang sudah ada, terutama definisi Boethius. Namun ia juga menawarkan kebaruan yang masih relevan di zaman kontemporer saat ini, yaitu Allah Trinitas sebagai Persona Ilahi dengan kasih tertinggi, kasih bersama yang tanpa pamrih, tidak ekslusif dan merangkul keberagaman.

Bu çalışmadaki amacımız, eserleriyle pagan ve skolâstik dünya arasında bir köprü oluşturan son Romalı düşünür Boethius'un, De Trinitate metninden hareketle, Trinitas (Kutsal Üçlü) inancını felsefe ve tanrıbilimi uzlaştırmaya çalışarak belli bir mantık örgüsü içinde tanıtlama girişimine tanık olmaktır. Bu tanıklık, Boethius'un yaşadığı dönemdeki Trinitas anlayışını etkileyen felsefi ve Hıristiyan dini akımların ve bu akımların belli başlı temsilcilerinin bir panoraması sunularak gerçekleştirilmiş ve metinde geçen özgün Latince terimlere özellikle dikkat çekilerek dönemin Hıristiyan tanrıbilim terminolojisinin bir bütünlük içinde gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır. In this dissertation, our aim is to testify how the last Roman thinker Boethius, bridging between the pagan and scholastic worlds, proved the belief of Trinitas (Trinity) in De Trinitate, in a logical explanation, endeavoring to reconcile the philosophy and theology. Doing this, a panorama of philosophical and Christian currents and their respective pioneers was presented and was intented to represent the whole terminology of Christology, drawing attention especially to peculiar terms in the quoted text. 114

Apologetika termasuk teologi sistematik yang intinya mengenai dogmatika dan etika.
