Trinity or One God is Jesus God or Part of Trinity Three

Trinity or One God

Does the Bible Teach the Trinity or One God?

The Invisible and Visible God, Understanding the Nature of God

Who is God? Who is Jesus Christ?

Is God One or Three Persons? Is Jesus God?

From the Webmaster

The following are just some of the questions that everyone of us will ask at some point and time in our relationship with God. Is Jesus God or just part of the Trinity? Do I pray to Jesus or to one God? Is God three or one? What does the Bible say about the Trinity? Is the Lord one or three persons? Does the Bible teach Trinity or one God? We will now explore the nature of the invisible and visible God.

In a court of law the words, statements and testimonies of the parties are critical to the outcome of a trial. Hearsay is generally inadmissible as evidence in a courtroom because it is based on the reports of others rather than on the personal knowledge of a witness. Should we apply a lesser standard for any biblical subject or topic? Of course not. Let us find the answers to all our biblical questions directly from the parties and participants themselves.

In John 4:24 Jesus tells us that God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. So what exactly is God—Spirit, right? And what kind of Spirit, the Holy Spirit. While Numbers 23:19 proclaims that God is not a man, and that he does not lie, Hosea 11:9 says that God is not a man, but rather the Holy One in the midst of thee. God, solely for us, put a human or natural face on an invisible Spirit—which of course is the divine nature of God. According to Colossians 1:15, Jesus is the image of the invisible God, and in 1 Timothy 3:16, God was manifest in the flesh. Timothy was referring to whom and to what flesh? Jesus, naturally. Jesus—who was born of a virgin—is also called Emmanuel, which means God with us (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20-23). One is only referred to as father when there is a child involved, so while the virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus, the Holy Ghost is declared to be the Father of Jesus, who is also called the Son of God. Matthew 1:20 says that which is conceived in Mary is of the Holy Ghost. In Luke 1:35 we read, And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Did you notice that the Holy Ghost (also translated as Holy Spirit) is the Father? Does Jesus now have two fathers? Absolutely not.

The invisible Lord became visible in the man Christ Jesus. But why did the one God become visible in the body of Jesus? So that we may obtain salvation. Because without a body there can be no sacrifice, and without a sacrifice there can be no Savior. We read in 1 Timothy 2:5, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Matthew 1:21 affirms, And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. In John 20:27, after his resurrection, Jesus appeared and said to his disciple Thomas, whom many call the Doubter, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. In verse 28, Thomas then exclaimed to Jesus, My Lord and my God. Jesus, in verse 29, responded, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Emmanuel and Son of God

Is Jesus really God with us, or is Jesus one-third of God with us?

Who was born to a virgin and what is his name? Jesus. Isaiah 7:14 states, Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 9:6 says, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. In Matthew 1:23 we read, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Luke 1:35 records, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. When you see Jesus, you see God. Whereas Jesus is said to be God with us, he is never relegated to one-third nor said to be just a portion or fraction of Almighty God.

Jesus walked on earth as both 100% God and 100% human.

Matthew 1:16 says, Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Luke 1:30-35 we read, And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

The one who created heaven and earth dwells inside the body of Jesus.

I am a father, son, husband, veteran, nephew, taxpayer, and so on, but that doesn't make me several people. Jesus, as already stated, is known by numerous names or titles, including Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. But that obviously doesn't make Jesus a so-called trinity or three. If one were to count the names and titles of Jesus, it would be significantly more than three.

Did you know that the word trinity is not even found in the Bible, but in Deuteronomy 6:4, it is written, Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD. And in Isaiah 42:8 we read, I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 43:11 it states, I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior, and in verse 15, I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. In Isaiah 44:24 it says, Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. Jesus said to Phillip, in John 14:9, he that hath seen me hath seen the Father. It is also correct to say that he who has seen the flesh, or Son of God, has seen the Father. He who has seen the visible has seen the invisible. He who has seen the mortal has seen the immortal.

Jesus

You are complete in him, not them.

John 1:1 proclaims, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. How was the Word also God? Just as our words proceed from us today, God could not and can not separate his word from himself.

Whereas Jesus, who is known by many titles and names—including Son of God, Savior, Word, Mighty God, Almighty God, Prince of Peace, King of kings, Holy Ghost, Lord, Everlasting Father, Christ, Healer, Holy Spirit, Lord our God, Messiah, Son of Man, Redeemer, and Emmanuel—was born of a virgin, in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. (Colossians 2:9-10.) The Son of Man, Jesus Christ, was born of a virgin in order to live and die for us right here on earth. God came into this world to fulfill His word, and, having conquered sin, death and the grave, He rose again the third day, according to the scriptures.

Jesus, in John 10:30, said I and my Father are one. In John 14:9, Jesus told Phillip that he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? It has already been established that the Lord our God is one Lord, insomuch that while God has many names, nouns and titles, He is still one Spirit. 1 Timothy 2:5, affirms that there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is said to be the image of the invisible God, and according to 1 Timothy 3:16, God was manifest in the flesh. John 4:24 states that God is Spirit. Who exactly is the Holy Spirit? Now the Lord is that Spirit, according to II Corinthians 3:17. Who is the Son of Man or Son of God? Son refers to the one who is born. The body, the flesh, his physical being known as human nature, was created by the Spirit, also known as Holy Ghost or God the Father, as proclaimed in Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:35, and in Colossians 2:9, in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. While in Ephesians 4:5 it states that there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, it, as with the entire Bible, does not reference the so-called trinity at all.

Conclusion

Jesus never called nor referred to himself as the trinity, so beware of anyone who does.

Apostle Paul warns us by repeating himself in the following admonition. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:6-9.

Malachi 3:6 proclaims, I am the LORD, I change not, and in Hebrews 13:8 it says that Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. So what gives anyone the right to try and change anything about God? Since the Lord will not and can not change, why should we believe anyone else who is trying to change him?

God physically walked on the planet in the body of Jesus as the perfect example of human life on earth (1 Peter 2:21; Matthew 5:48; Hebrews 5:9; 1 John 4:17). He did it for you and I for a reason—so that we might be saved. And with salvation, we have life more abundantly. Jesus is both divine and human, invisible and visible, Spirit and body, Father and Son, Creator and Redeemer, and God and man. While the natural or physical body of the Son felt pain, shed tears, got tired, ate food, and was nailed to a cross for our sins, the divine nature or Spirit resurrected the Son on the third day and then ascended into heaven for our salvation. He then sent His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to dwell in us.

Whereas the Creator of heaven and earth never said to us that life would be easy, he continues to teach us time and again in the Bible that he will always be with us. In Hebrews 13:5, Jesus assures us that he will never leave us, nor forsake us, and in Matthew 28:20, the Master reassures us with the words, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
