Answer 1

God is One God..He doesn't have a son..He doesn't need to have a son
He is much too glorious to have a son

Answer 2

‘But isn’t Jesus called a god in the Bible?’ someone may ask. This is true. Yet Satan is also called a god. (2 Corinthians 4:4) At John 1:1, which refers to Jesus as “the Word,” some Bible translations say: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But notice, verse 2 says that the Word was “in the beginning with God.” And while men have seen Jesus, verse 18 says that “no man hath seen God at any time.” (Authorized or King James Version) So we find that some translations of verse 1 give the correct idea of the original language when they read: “The Word was with God, and the Word was divine,” or was “a god,” that is, the Word was a powerful godlike one. (An American Translation) Clearly, Jesus is not Almighty God. In fact, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”

Did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” And he said: “The Father is greater than I am.” Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Further, on one occasion Jesus prayed to God, saying: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If Jesus were the Almighty God, he would not have prayed to himself, would he? In fact, following Jesus’ death, the Scripture says: “This Jesus God resurrected.” (Acts 2:32) Thus the Almighty God and Jesus are clearly two separate persons. Even after his death and resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus was still not equal to his Father.


As for the “Holy Spirit,” the so-called third Person of the Trinity, this is not a person but God’s active force. John the Baptizer said that Jesus would baptize with holy spirit, even as John had been baptizing with water. Hence, in the same way that water is not a person, holy spirit is not a person. (Matthew 3:11) What John foretold was fulfilled when, following the death and resurrection of Jesus, holy spirit was poured out on his followers gathered in Jerusalem. The Bible says: “They all became filled with holy spirit.” (Acts 2:4) Were they “filled” with a person? No, but they were filled with God’s active force. Thus the facts make clear that the Trinity is not a Bible teaching. Actually, long before Jesus walked the earth gods were worshiped in groups of three, or trinities, in places such as ancient Egypt and Babylon.

Answer 3

Hope this helps you.

The Bible says there is only one God. Yet, it says Jesus is God (John 1:1,14); it says the Father is God (Phil. 1:2); and it says the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). Since the Son speaks to the Father, they are separate persons. Since the Holy Spirit speaks also (Acts 13:2), He is a separate person. There is one God who exists in three persons.

The word "trinity" is not found in the Bible. Nevertheless, it is a word used to describe one fact the Bible teaches about God: Our God is a Trinity. This means there are three persons in one God, not three Gods. The persons are known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and they have all always existed as three separate persons. The person of the Father is not the same person as the Son. The person of the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit. The person of the Holy Spirit is not the same person as the Father. If you take away any one, there is no

God. God has always been a trinity from all eternity: "From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). God is not one person who took three forms, i.e., the Father who became the Son, who then became the Holy Spirit. This belief is known today as the "Jesus Only Movement". It is taught by the United Apostolic and United Pentecostal churches, and is an incorrect teaching.

Answer 4

Because the bible is confused.

Looking at the OT, there is god. The spirit of god, when it is mentioned at all, is not an entity as perceived by the trinity but rather more of an action like a lightning bolt of Zeus.

Then the NT came along and Jesus started talking. JC calls himself by just about every name in the book. In some speeches he refers to god as totally separate from him, in others he posits a familial relationship, and in others there is a closer identification that he may be making but there is never any clear trinitarian statement. It's only when the letter writing started that the idea of the trinity grew.

Basically the disciples had a dead, failed messiah and a really good set of ethical teachings. Ethical teachings being a dime a dozen (or a mite a dozen in those days) they decided they needed a better author figure than someone who was executed before he accomplished anything. Hence the divinity claims.

Answer 5

this is the mystery of God's nature to exist as three beings, we can't truly understand, but we know by faith. Jesus is the eternal "word" of God , which means, Jesus has always proceeded from God the father, for example, rays proceed from the sun, Jesus was never created, but always existed with God. The word of God (Jesus) and the wisdom of God (holy spirit) are God also becasue they come forth from God the father.

Answer 6

God is 1. Have you never read the Bible? God is 3 in person yes, but in essence. That is what the Bible teaches as a whole.

God can have a son because he is God and can do anything he wants. He is all powerful and almighty! Is God so small in your eyes that he has limitations such as those?

Answer 7

God is one in three persons. The term Son of God means that Jesus is God. In ancient days if you wanted to call some one a thief, for example, you would call them the son of a thief.

Answer 8

The duality of Christ's nature, human and divine, cannot be fully and definitively answered. If we could, we would possess divine minds ourselves. That said, we theologians have made progress at trying to understand the concepts of the Trinity of God and God the Son's role in that Trinitarian doctrine.

In short, Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.

I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm

I suggest you start there to dig deeper into this topic. It is not going to be answered to your satisfaction in this Forum.

Answer 9

It's three in one...like an egg has a shell, egg white, and yolk. Also God can do the impossible so he formed His Son in a virgin's womb. I'm sorry if you don't understand. It's tough if you want proof but God can do anything and that is that.

Answer 10

This is asked constantly.

I saw an incredible answer so excuse me for plagiarism here.

God is like . . . . . . . . time. Past, present, and future. Is it still all time?

God is the father, son and holy spirit and still all God.
