INTRODUCTION.
Humanity do not like any thing that do not side with them. Ho 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Isa 5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because [they have] no knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. Because humanity is afraid of divine things, they are afraid to search the Bible. To find out the truth for themselves.
IS THERE A TRINITY?. CAN BAPTISM WITH WATER SAVE A SOUL? IS BAPTISM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WRIGHT? WHO IS A SON? WHO IS A FATHER?. ARE THEIR THREE GODS?.
HIS THERE A TRINITY ?
Eighty-nine Proofs of A Divine Trinity:
b [three are one] The only sense three can be one is in unity, as is clear in John 17:11,21-23. See other scriptural uses of the word one (Genesis 2:24; Genesis 11:6; 1 Cor. 3:6-8; 1 Cor. 12:13; Ephes. 2:14; Hebrews 2:11). Three persons cannot be one person in number in any sense, but the three can be one in unity.
What we mean by Divine Trinity is that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead, each one having His own personal spirit body, personal soul, and personal spirit in the same sense each human being, angel, or any other being has his own body, soul, and spirit. We mean by body, whether a spirit body or a flesh body, the house for the indwelling of the personal soul and spirit. The soul is that which feels and the spirit is that which knows.
The doctrine of the Trinity can be clearly seen, being understood by the visible things that are made, even to His eternal power and Godhead (Romans 1:20). What on earth was created in the image and likeness of God? Man (Genesis 1:26-28). Do God's image and likeness consist only of moral and spiritual powers? If so, it can be concluded that man is only a moral and spiritual being. Is God bodiless? If so, we can conclude that man is also bodiless.
Is God only one being made up of several persons or beings in the one being? If so, we can conclude that man is one person or being made up of many. Does God need a flesh body in order to have any kind of body? No! There are such things as spirit and heavenly bodies. See 1 Cor. 15:35-38. From this passage we learn that all things in creation—grain, fish, birds, beasts, man, angels, and even the planets—have bodies, sizes, shapes, and forms.
The Bible declares that God has a body, shape, image, likeness, physical parts, a personal soul and spirit, and all other things that constitute a being or a person with a body, soul, and spirit (see note, §John 4:24; note, §John 5:37; The Doctrine of Man.
Angels, cherubim, seraphim, and all other spirit beings have spirit bodies and personal souls and spirits. They have been seen with the natural eyes of men over 100 times in Scripture (see Appearances of Angels to Men). If all other spirit beings have spirit bodies, could not the members of the Trinity also have spirit bodies? The 284 passages on spirits in Scripture prove that spirit bodies are just as real and capable of operation in the material worlds as are flesh bodies. There is no such thing as a world of creations made up of invisible substance. The so-called spirit world must be understood simply as spirit beings inhabiting material worlds created by God. Heaven itself is a material planet (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:10-16), having cities, mansions, furniture, inhabitants, living conditions, etc.
. God has been seen physically by human eyes many times (Genesis 18:1-33; Genesis 19:24; Genesis 32:24-30; Exodus 24:11; Exodus 33:11-33; Joshua 5:13-15; Judges 6:11- 23; Judges 13:3-25; 1 Chron. 21:16-17; Job 42:5; Isaiah 6; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Ezekiel 10:1,20; Ezekiel 40:3; Daniel 7:9-14; Daniel 10:5-10; Acts 7:56-59; Rev. 4:2-5; Rev. 5:1,5-7,11-14; Rev. 6:16; Rev. 7:9-17; Rev. 19:4; Rev. 21:3-5; Rev. 22:4).
In over 20,000 references about God in Scripture we get to know all we need to know about the subject. If we will take the Bible literally as to what it says about Him, as we do with other things the subject will be very clear; but if we make God a mystery, ignoring the plain statements of Scripture about Him, and refusing to believe the many descriptions of God given by those who have seen one, two, and three separate persons called "God," then we ill remain in ignorance.
It is true there are a few figurative statements about God in Scripture, as there are about man and other things, but shall we do away with the reality of man and these other things because of a few figures of speech? Let us make man mere salt and lights (Matthew 5:13-14), if we are going to do away with God because of a few figures of speech. We submit the following facts in Scripture to prove a Divine Trinity of separate persons in the Godhead:
1.The word "one" means one in unity as well as one in number. It means unity in 1 John 5:7, as it does in John 17:11,21-23, and yet these three Persons, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, are spoken of as one each in number and individuality in Scripture. There is one God the Father, one Lord Jesus Christ, and one Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 8:6; Ephes. 4:3-6). Thus, there are three separate Persons in divine individuality and divine pluralty. The Father is called God (1 Cor. 8:6), the Son is called God (Isaiah 9:6,7; Hebrews 1:8; John 1:1-2; John 20:28), and the Holy Spirit is called God (Acts 5:3-4). As individual persons each can be called God and collectively they can be spoken of as one God because of their perfect unity. The word "God" is used either as a singular or a plural word, like sheep.
Everything that could be spoken of God collectively applies equally to each member of the Godhead as an individual, but there are some things that are said of each person of the Deity as to position, office, and work that could not be spoken as of the other members of the Godhead. The Father is the head of Christ (1 Cor. 11:3); the Son is the only begotten of the Father (2 John 1:3), and the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son (John 14:16,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15; Acts 2:34).
2.Names of God prove plurality of persons. The Hebrew: Elohiym ) is the word for God in Genesis 1:1 and in over 2,700 other places in the Old Testament It is a uni-plural noun meaning Gods and is so translated 239 times (Genesis 3:5; Exodus 22:28; 1 Samuel 4:8; Daniel 2:11; Daniel 4:6-9; Daniel 5:11,14; etc.). Sometimes 'Elohiym is used with plural verbs and pronouns, "the Gods they caused me to wander" (Genesis 20:13), and "there the Gods they appeared unto him" (Genesis 35:7).
3.Plural pronouns are used of God, proving plurality of persons (Genesis 1:26; Genesis 3:22; Genesis 11:7; Isaiah 6:8; John 14:23; John 17:11,22-23). 4.First, second, and third personal pronouns are used hundreds of times in Scripture, referring to one, two, and three persons of the Godhead in the same sense they are used of men. Sometimes the different members of the Deity use them to and of one another in the same sense man uses them. In John 17 alone Jesus uses them 162 times in speaking to and of His Father (cp. John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; John 16:7- 15). Sometimes singular pronouns are used of the whole Godhead of three members as a unity (Exodus 20:3; Isaiah 44:6,8; Isaiah 45:5,21; Isaiah 46:9; Hosea 13:4), just like the whole church as a unit is spoken of as a man and "he" (Ephes. 2:14-15; Ephes. 4:13; Ephes. 5:25-27; 2 Thes. 2:7-8). 5."Man is become as one of us" proves plurality of persons (Genesis 3:22).
1 John 5:8 (KJV) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
a [three] Three witnesses of humanity and sonship:
1. The Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus at His water baptism (Matthew 3:13-17).
2. The water—threefold witness:
(1) Water baptism symbolizing His own death, burial, and resurrection (Matthew 3:13-17)
(2) Water of the Word bearing witness to the incarnation (Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35; note, §John 3:5) (3) Water and blood at the crucifixion testifying of His humanity (John 19:34) 3. The blood, testifying not only the humanity and sonship of Jesus Christ, but guaranteeing redemption from sin (Matthew 26:28; Acts 20:28; Ephes. 1:14; Col. 1:20-22; Hebrews 9:14-26; Hebrews 10:1-23; 1 John 1:7). See pt. 19 of Eighty-nine Proofs of a Divine Trinity under The Trinity.
b [agree in one] Agree to the one point of the humanity and sonship of Jesus (1 John 4:1-6; 1 John 5:5-9). John 20:17 (KJV) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Here we see that Jesus have a God, and Jesus have a father.
a[Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, unto my Father, and Your Father; and to my God, and your God.]
The 42nd New Testament prophecy in John (John 20:17, fulfilled). Next, §John 21:18.
b[Touch] Greek: haptomai), to fasten to, cling to. Mary attempted to hold Him and Jesus said, "Touch me not"; that is, "Do not cling to Me. I am going immediately to heaven. Go tell My brethren that I ascend to God but will be back again to see them." That very day He did ascend to heaven and came back to appear with disciples (John 20:19).
c[for I am not yet ascended to my Father] This is the reason why He did not want Mary to detain Him. He permitted women to touch Him (Matthew 28:9), but not detain Him.
d[brethren] Christ made it clear who His brethren were—they were His disciples, not His fleshly brothers (Matthew 12:49; Matthew 28:10; Luke 8:19-21; Hebrews 2:11). 1 Cor. 11:3 (KJV) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord. Mr 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: There is only one God who exists in three persons. The father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. A compound unity. Ge 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Mr 10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. A man and his wife and their children are one people, yet they are separate.
THERE ARE CERTAIN WORDS WE WANT TO EXAMINE TO PROVE THE TRINITY.
WHO WAS THIS US? US IS PLURAL.
THERE IS A DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE WRITTEN WORD AND THE LIVING WORD. THE LIVING WORD IS JESUS.
In St John 1:1 it was in the beginning was Logos( SPOKES MAN) and Logos was with God, and logos Was God) Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Php 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ST: John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
WHO WAS JESUS PRAYING TO ON THE CROSS-?
Mr 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I asked my friend who was Jesus praying to on the cross? he said "" that the flesh part of him was praying to the spirit part. How could Jesus prayed to the spirit inside of him when he gave up the spirit to the father?
St. Lu 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
THE THREE DIVINE PERSON CAN BE CLEARLY SEEING IN THE SCRIPTURE.
Mark 3:13-17. At Jesus baptism the three divine person was revealed. Jesus was in the water baptizing by another person name John, Then the Holy Spirit descend on him. Then God spoke from heaven.
Mt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mt 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
FOUR PERSON WAS MENTION IN THE ABOVE VERSES.
Mt 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Mt 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Mt 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON.
St Mt 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. We see that whoever, blasphemed the son of man it will forgiven them. But whoever, blaspheme the holy spirit it will not be forgiven them. We see the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness. Mt 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
TITLE AND NAME.
St John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. St John 19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and] Latin. In today language father is a title but in the days when the scripture was first written father was a name indeed.
Isa 9:6 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. Look closely at the verse"" and his name shall be called"" it did not say and his title shall be call. "" His name shall be call everlasting father"".
Mt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
WHY DID PETER COMMAND THE PEOPLE TO BAPTIZE IN JESUS NAME?
WHY DID PETER COMMAND THE PEOPLE TO BAPTIZE IN JESUS NAME?
Pr 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
The Jews are not like gentiles Christians who never know that there was a Holy Spirit. A father and a son. Therefore they are still looking for the son to come because they did not believe that Jesus was the son. So to know if a Jew is truly save you must baptize him or her in the name of Jesus. When you called the name of Jesus over the Jews if he does not believe he will immediately objected to the baptism.
NOTHING IS WRONG WITH WHICH BAPTISM A CHURCH WISHES TO USED.
Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
St John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
WHAT DOES BAPTISM SIGNIFIED?
Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
THERE WERE SEVERAL METHOD OF BAPTISM USED IN THOSE DAYS.
WHOSE NAME DID JESUS BAPTIZED IN ?
Mt 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared of my Father.
DOES BAPTISM CLEANSES A PERSON SOUL?
WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD?
St John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Jesus had received that authority from his father.
WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD?
GOD HAS PEOPLE IN EVERY CHURCH.
St Mr 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. Mr 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. Mr 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
THE OTHER SHEEP.
St John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. All Christian should note this verse. The other sheep or gentiles Christians who was not a part of the Jewish fold. Jesus said he will bring them. It is the same thing with different religious groups that believe in Jesus as the saviour but have different doctrines, they should stop trying to convinced each other and go on their merry ways because Jesus has promise that he will bring them. Our Lord did not say, I should bring them, or you should bring them. He say” He will bring them”
JESUS IS GOD APPOINTED SAVIOR FOR HUMANITY.
Ac 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Rom: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
St John 5 :21-23 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 That all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father.--
ALL MEN SHOULD HONOR THE SON JUST AS HOW THEY HONOR THE FATHER.
So we see that Jesus was to received honor from men just as how men honor the father. Not only that but all the angels of God were to worship him. At Jesus second coming the Jews will see the nail print in his hand and believe that he is the Lord of glory.
Zech 13: 6. And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
