The three members
The Church Authority triad holds three members together: Holy Scripture; Holy Tradition; and Magisterium (Teaching Office).
- Holy Scripture
- Holy Tradition
- Magisterium (Teaching Office)
The triad pattern
We believe that the presence of the tripartite (triad) pattern throughout all of general and special revelation is further evidence that the triune God of the Bible is God. It would not be surprising, on the basis of reason, if God left evidence reflective of His basic triune nature in His creation. On that basis, one might think of this as a way for God to sign “Made by Yahweh” throughout all of creation.
