The "TRINITY" is not a mystery


The Bible provides overwhelming evidence that there was, is, and will always be only one God… “Jehovah”.  First of all, (1Chronicles 17:20)(Isaiah 44:6) and (Isaiah 45:18 & 22) make it absolutely clear that there is no God except Jehovah alone.  In (Isaiah 43:10) Jehovah says that…“Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continues to be none.”  Jehovah declares in (Deuteronomy 32:39)…“See now that I, I am He and there are no gods (lesser gods) together with me.”   Also (Genesis 2:4)(2Kings 19:15) (Isaiah 45:18) and (Isaiah 48:12-13) make it clear that Jehovah, alone, with his own hand, created the heavens and the earth.

The Biblical passages in (Deuteronomy 4:39)(Psalms 139:8)(Isaiah 66:1)(Jeremiah 23:24) and in (Acts 17:27) prove beyond any doubt that Jehovah is in the heavens, in the earth, and even in Sheol, all at the same time.  This attribute of God is called “omnipresence”.   The fact that God can be infinitely everywhere, in a specific limited place, and in a particular person, all at the same time is easily proven. 

In (Genesis 18:1-33) Jehovah himself appeared to Abraham in a visible, physical, and human-like body.  Read it for yourself!  The Bible also teaches that the “Son” is the visible image of the invisible and omnipresent God (Colossians 1:15).  Christ Jesus is the incarnation of the eternal “Son” (Hebrews 13:8) and the exact representation of Jehovah’s very being (Hebrews 1:3).  (Colossians 2:8-9) warns us to not be lead astray by those who would deny that the fullness of God dwells in Christ bodily.  (Isaiah 9:6) clearly reveals to us that the child born in Bethlehem was the “Mighty God and Eternal Father”.  Jesus himself said in (John 14:8-9) that …“He that has seen me has seen the Father also.”  Finally, in (Matthew 1:23) we are clearly told exactly who was born to us…“Look!  The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which means, when translated, ‘With us is God.’”

The undeniable truth of scripture is that Jehovah exists eternally as the “Father”, as the “Son” who appeared to Abraham, and exists now as our Savior Christ Jesus, and Jehovah also exists as the eternal “Holy Spirit”.  “Now Jehovah is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom.” (2Corinthians 3:17) 

The word “Trinity” is not in the Bible.  However, the fact that Jehovah exists as the “Father”, the “Son”, and the “Holy Spirit”, is irrefutable.  To deny this fact, is to deny Jehovah himself.  That’s exactly why Jesus so clearly instructed his disciples to baptize in the name of the “Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).

In (Isaiah 43:11) and (Isaiah 45:21-22) Jehovah irrefutably declares…”besides me there is no Savior”.  In (John 10:30) Jesus says…”I and the Father are one.”  The “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29 & 36) had to be completely spotless, without any blemish of any kind.  And God alone is holy (1Samuel 2:2) and (Isaiah 43:3).  Jesus in (Luke 18:19) makes another irrefutable statement… ”God alone is good”.  Therefore, if Jesus is not God, he cannot be good, and if he is not good, he cannot be sinless, and if he is not sinless, he cannot be the sinless “Lamb of God”.  Jesus said this in (John 8:23-24) to those who did not believe him to be God…“You are from this world, I am not from this world.  Therefore, you will die in your sins.  For if you do not believe that I am He (Jehovah) you will die in your sins.” “See now that I, I am He, and there is no god with me”. (Deuteronomy 32:39)
