The only question which confuses many people is that “we have three Gods or one God in
all?” as we see the Bible, Father Son, and Holy Spirit are one,
they came at different times and in different style but their purpose was the
same that all humans live in Holiness and away from the sin. They all guide
humans in every work. Jehovah in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New
Testament and the Holy spirit which tells now is working today for every person
who believes in God.
When Jesus was on earth then who was in heaven?
If we say the father son and Holy Spirit are one, then again a
question comes if they are one then, “when
Jesus was on earth then who was in heaven?” Then we get
confused but the answer is simply that he is omnipresence means everywhere
present because he is God himself. The father, son and Holy Spirit are one
being, just as man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. It’s also written in (Matthew 28:19) baptize them in the name of the father and the son and the
Holy Spirit. This verse does prove that they are one because if they were
different then there would have been written that baptize in the names but not
in the name. And God commands people of Israel the Lord is your God. The Lord
is one (Deuteronomy 6:4).
In (John 10:38) it is written that
‘’but if I do what my father does, you should believe in what I do. You will
not believe in me but you should believe in the works I am going to do. Then
you will know and understand that the father is to me and I am in the father.’’
and in (John 14:11) here Jesus says
believe on me when I say that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. Or
believe in the miracles I have done.
How in Old Testaments father son and Holy Spirit are one?
In the old testament, there are so many verses that God is one
like if we read (Exodus 20:3) ‘’you must not worship
any other God except me.’’ Here God commands Israeli’s not to worship any other
god. Then in (Isaiah 45:18) says that The Lord is
God. He made the skies and the earth. He put the earth in its place. He did not
want the earth to be empty when he made it. He created it to be living on. I am
the Lord. There is no other God.
And in (James 2:19) James says you believe there is one God. That is very good,
but also the demons believed that too and they were shaking with fear. In (Jude 1:25) Jude also says ‘’He is only the one and only God who delivers
us. To all the glory, authority, greatness, and power through our Lord Jesus
Christ of the Nazarat for all the time now, past and forever. Amen’’ and in (Revelation 1:8) it is written The Lord God says,’’ I am the Alpha and the
Omega. I am the one who is, who always was, and who is coming. I am
All-powerful.’’
But
it does prove that Jesus himself was God. In (Isaiah 2:9) A baby is born to us,
a son is given to us: And the government will be on his shoulder: And his name
will be called amazing, Mighty God, Counselor, Prince of Peace and the Eternal
Father. And in (1 Timothy 3:16) says ‘’And there is no
doubt, the deep secret of great Godliness is: God appeared and manifested in
the flesh, who is righteous in the Spirit, and Angels saw him,
evangelized unto gentiles, and the world believed in him and was elevated in
his glory. Bible also proves he is from heaven (1 Corinthians 15:47) and he was made a
quickening spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45). And for in him
dwelled all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9).
Well, the father son and holy spirit are one
because the Bible does prove this.
"The
Trinity of God"
The Oneness of God
The Father
Jesus Christ
Holy Spirit
"The
Trinity of God"
God the Father - God the Son - God the Holy
Spirit
Trinity of God is a scriptural
concept used to express the collective unity and character of God: God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It is considered to be a divine
mystery beyond human comprehension.
Some believe that "Jesus
Christ" is the only entity of God; that He is God Father, the Savior, and
the Holy Spirit, all in one being.
Others believe there are three
entities in one collective unity: "God the Father," "God
the Son," and " God the Holy Spirit."
Either way, the various views do
not affect God's Plan of Salvation.
Before understanding the
Trinity, it is first essential to understand the Oneness of God:
The three members of the
Godhead (forming a Trinity) are easily identified in the following Scripture:
"And straightway coming up
out of the water, he saw the Heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove
descending upon him. And there came a voice from Heaven, saying Thou art my
beloved, Son in whom I am well pleased," (Mark 1:10-11).
The above Scripture identifies
the "Father," the "Son," and the "Holy Spirit as
individual entities."
"Jesus, God the Son"
(who had been baptized)
"The Holy Spirit"
(descending upon the Son)
"The Father"
(speaking from Heaven)
In the following Scripture,
Stephen saw "God the Father," and "Jesus," together in
Heaven:
"But He, being full of the
Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into Heaven, and saw the Glory of God and
Jesus standing on the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55).
Stephen saw "God the
Father" and "Jesus" at the same time, in Heaven. The Scripture tells
us the "Holy Spirit" was in Stephen, again revealing a Trinity.
In the Bible
The reference to God is usually
to "God the Father."
The Reference to either
The Word or Jesus is to "God the Son."
The reference to the Holy
Spirit is to "God the Holy Spirit."
The Oneness of God
Most Bible Scholars believe the
Hebrew word Echad, means, a "unified oneness." God uses the
"Echad" terminology in the very first chapter of the Bible to reveal
a plurality in the Godhead: "Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness" (Genesis 1:26).
Perhaps a good illustration of
the unified Oneness of God would be an egg containing a yolk, egg white, and
shell. Jesus was referring to this type of Oneness when He prayed: "That
they all may be one as thou Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be
one in us" (John 17:21).
Although the term Trinity is
not seen in Scripture, the structure is found throughout the New Testament.
The Father
In the Trinity view, the Father
is considered to be the first person of the Godhead, the giver of all things. James
1:17 says, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of Lights."
It is the Father's will we are
carrying out when we are obedient to God, and we do so under the administration
of Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "For I came
down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me"
(John 6:38).
We are the Father's children.
When we have a need we go to the Father: "If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children; how much more shall your Father which is
in heaven give good things to them that ask him" (Matt 7:11?)
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the second
person of the Godhead. Many Scriptures are confirming that Jesus is God,
"God the Son."
In Matthew Jesus is called
Emmanuel, meaning "God with us" (Matt 1:23).
"Who being in the form of
God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God" (Phil 2:6,).
He is God come to earth.
"Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58).
Jesus is the express image of
the Father: "... He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest
thou then, Shew us the Father?" (John 14:9)
It is through Jesus that we
gain access to the Father:
"Jesus saith unto him, I
am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me" (John 14:6).
The names of those who have
received Him are written in His book in Heaven.
"And all that dwell upon
the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev 13:8)
Holy Spirit
In Scripture, the Holy Spirit
is described as the "Comforter."
(John 14:16). The Greek word
for Comforter is Parakletos, which means our teacher, our guide and our helper.
He comes to us in a Spiritual form, to comfort during sorrowful times, trials
and tribulations.
The Holy Spirit is there beside
us and in us at all times. "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give
you another comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14;16).
We can talk to the Holy Spirit
and seek His guidance, asking for an inward witness concerning different
matters. "For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye
ought to say," (Luke 12:12,).
Nine Gifts of the Holy
Spirit:
"The word of wisdom; Word
of knowledge; Discerning of Spirits; Prophecy; Divers kinds of tongues;
Interpretation of tongues; Faith; Gifts of healing; Working of miracles;"
(1 Cor 12:7-10).
The Nine fruits of the
Holy Spirit:
"But the fruit of the
Spirit is, Love; Joy; Peace; Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness,
Gentleness and
Self-control," (Gal 5:22-23).
