I understand the concept of Trinity. But I gave scriptures that seem to indicate that, God is the Father, and Jesus is the Lord. If God means (the Father, Jesus, and the Holy spirit) why does it refer to the Father as God, in those verses?

The Atheist thinks Jesus is not God, well, then maybe that means he is. I think you guys made alot of valid points. Keep it coming, I am listening to the Scriptures and rejecting Satan!

OK...HERE IS THE TRUTH! The word "GOD" in the original Hebrew is plural--One GOD--But more than one Member! You have "Family"--with more than one member in it! GOD IS A FAMILY NAME! You have the Father,Who is Supreme Lawgiver,and you have His Son,The Executive Ruler-King over all that exists! Here is where things go wrong...You will NOT find the word "Trinity" anywhere in your Bible! And the phrase,"These three are one" mentioned in the New Testament was ADDED--It is NOT in the original GREEK! GOD is forming a Family--and He wants YOU and I to be a Royal son or daughter in that Family! READ REVELATION--First 3 Chapters! Don't believe ME! How clever the devil is to BLIND the TRUTH from so many! Perhaps NOW you will see that YOU were born to become a beautiful Royal Daughter of your Creator! Maybe now you can face the future a little better and with a little more HOPE!

Quoting John 1:1-9: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." The Word is Jesus. Therefore, Jesus is with God and is God. The passage goes on to explain how Jesus created all things, something we think of God the Father as doing.
The Trinity is a difficult concept but it kind of makes sense - do we really think that a being as powerful as God would be limited as we are? He is God and therefore uniquely complex.
The best way I wrap my mind around it is to think of water - ice is different from steam, which is different from water. They're not even in the same state yet they are all manifestations of the same substance. They are always H2O. Each person in the Trinity has a different function. They are equal parts but the Father is the head - that's what He is and does.
The other complicating factor is that Jesus is the unique God-man. When He was on earth He divested Himself of some of His power (became a human being.) He had to feel and suffer like us, thus allowing the possibility of temptation. He seems to have been in a different state after His Resurrection - He could walk through walls but still ate fish with His disciples.
If we could fully understand it all, we wouldn't be human.

your question is what verses say Jesus is God i think.......
matt. 28: 18 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.' so He had the authority of God then?
john 14: 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father except THRU Me." are we just merely going through a man, or a Higher being?
verses im having trouble finding are Jesus is sits at the right hand of the Father, no one else has the priveledge of doing this. If you dishonor the Son the dishonor the Father, if you dishonor the Father you dishonor the Son. The Father and the Son are One......we cant get to God except thru Jesus the Son of God

I'm not quite sure what your question is; If you get a chance to look at a Jerusalem Bible, or an old (1611) king james, then you can see there are diferent words in the hebrew that modern bibles translate as God, as Lord.
One of the important names of God is LORD of Lords, KING of Kings. While there are Lords (masters), there is one LORD over them all.
Likewise, the scripture says that: 'ye men are gods, and the scripture cannot be broken'. In the old testament, and I guess in those who have not repented and been baptised, then there is an ascendancy of angels which watch over them, since they are not of Christ, so are under delegated authority.

John 1: 1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing has made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
I am the light of the world ( John 8:12 )

1st ? in john jesus is speaking to the discipes about him going to die and returning to heaven the holyghost only comes in the picture when jesus was on the cross in john he called the comforter that will guide are heart in the truth because jesus would know longer be in the flesh, so he reveiled this to his disciples. 2nd u have most of the scrip. but if u read the whloe chapter 1by1 u will get it better far as the other scrip. in john there a lot going on jesus is crusifiyed resurrected and returned to the disciples because of unbelief mosty tomas that was called daughting tomas, Jesus done so many sign and mircles that when his time was to die the dis. wasn't ready when he appear to them he told them what to do and to ministry 2by2 to the nation, when jesus spoke of the holyghost an said we would do grater works the he because of the holyspirit. in cor. for example your mother has 3 girls and you all are alike but u all have different mission, offices or purpose your are all her children working to make mom proud the same in the trinity God is father Jesus savior, teacher, alot of things the holyghost is what calm u when your upset or that soft still voice u hear telling u not to do something. the mercy comes in when jesus died for u and my sins, so throuth the blood where saved. tim, explained it the med. is jesus he is are meditor or interser on are behave. cor. also expaines theres one God the ruler or commandor for it all this may sound weird but only through faith can we beleive the bible not are nature eye look through the spirit please the devil comes to detract and deceive us, keep praying and asking ? thats how we learn anything. So please keep doing research also no the bible for your self study to show yourself approved. love star. sorry the spelling is ject up was trying to get this to u,i'm on my way to sleep.

In Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The "Mighty God" in the next verse.
JESUS CHRIST IS: "THE GOD ALMIGHTY"

John 10:30-33
"[Jesus said, ] I and the Father are one."
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
Jesus said it, so that's good enough for me...

PS ---
Also see John 1, talk to your pastor, and maybe pick up a scripturally sound book on the subject.
