Christians: How can you tell if God is Quadruple,Triune, Bi or simply Mono in nature?

Question

Where did John, the John that wrote 1 John, count them?

@ Jesus M
And your point would be?

Answer 1

Well, don't be so upset , God shall give you an answer , if you behave politely .

I can offer you my knowledge .
I am Ortodox Christian (countries like Greek , Russia are in majority Ortodox countries, because of the great saints that made miracles and died for the real God , even sons of emeperors , or even an emperor (killed by turks).

We the Ortodox Christians say that God is The Holly Trinity .And The Catholics as well .And other Christians but not all ..

Can we count? Yes we can. Are there more then one people in the world ? Yes there are. So there could be more then a single Divine Person. Do we have children? Yes. Could God have an eternal Child ? Yes . This is Jesus Christ . Our children are human beings ? Yes even the children are humans . So the Child of God , The Son of God , is also a God . The Holly Spirit is also a God , but all of them wear the same name God (although they are three ), the way all the members of the family are called Family , and all the memebers of the family are called Smith . John Smith , Sarah Smith , and the children Dan and Ann Smith.
So God is Three Persons.
They came to Abraham and told Sarah will receive a baby.
They are not counted because they are not sticks , nor bottles..
Although in my Ortodox Bible they are counted somehow:''Three confesses (about Truth )in Heaven : Father , Son , and The Holly Spirit .

Son can be met everywhere even in the Old Testament (Daniel )
The Holly Spirit was above waters in Genesis .(God can walk on water, Jesus did it ).So there is a Third God Person.
I suppose I cannot say I am here ...and My soul is at school ...or at shop ...or at the seaside...So what do you think ...did I explain quite well to you..

Answer 2

The fact of God's Triune nature is seen throughout the Bible, including the Old Testament. Here are several OT examples:

1) The word translated as "God" in our Bibles is the Hebrew word "Elohim," which is a pleural word meaning "Gods."

2) God refers to Himself in the pleural; see Genesis 1:26a. There is no evidence this is the "royal we," as some try to argue.

3) There are instances in the Bible where God the Father speaks to God the Son (Jesus Christ, a.k.a. The Word). In Psalm 45:6-7, the writer states: "Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows." Notice that the word God is actually applied to two different Persons within these two verses. He is addressing God, and after addressing God, he says that another God had anointed the first God with the oil of gladness above "your" fellows. It should be noted that in this verse the first Elohim is being addressed. The second Elohim is the God of the first Elohim. Therefore, it is God’s God who has anointed Him with the oil of gladness. Another example may be found at Hosea 1:7.

4) Then there are Scriptural sources that reference ALL THREE Persons of the Trinity: Father, Son and Spirit:

Isaiah 42:1 "Behold, my [Father] servant [Son], whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit [Holy Spirit] upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles."

The first Person is the speaker, who is seen by the pronouns "my" and "I." The second Person is the speaker's "servant," the servant of Jehovah. And the third Person is the "Spirit" of God. Scripture repeatedly identifies Jesus Christ as God the Father's "Servant."

Isaiah 61:1 is a second example:

"The Spirit [person #1] of the Lord Jehovah [person # 2] is upon me [person # 3]; because Jehovah has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;…" Again, there are three individuals: the Lord Jehovah; the Spirit of Jehovah; and the speaker ("me"). We know from Luke 4:18 that the person referring to Himself as "Me" is Jesus Christ.

NT examples include Matthew 28:19: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"

There is MUCH more proof of the Trinity in the Bible. However, this is not the forum for such an extensive discussion. If you want more information, send me a message through YA and I'd be happy to send it to you.

Answer 3

The doctrine of the Trinity comes from a close reading of Scripture. You might view it as the minimum possible number to fit the evidence, rather like Einstein's nine-dimensional space/time manifold. For all I know, there could be more - this is God we're talking about, after all. But if three fits it, why postulate more?

Answer 4

Clearly from some perspectives He is Two. When on the earth as Messiah YAHOSHUA, there was an Almighty Father in Heaven. The two were (and are) more one that a married couple. Trinity is a heathen abomination that much of churchianity has baptized and accepted, but that does not make it true.

Answer 5

Mark 12:29 JESUS answered, "The first is hear O Israel, YHWH/Jehovah 'our' God is ONE YHWH/Jehovah."

2 Chronicles 6:18b Look! The heavens of the heavens cannot contain you,...

Deuteronomy 6:4 "Listen O Israel,; YHWH/Jehovah our God is ONE YHWH/Jehovah."....(said MOSES)

Answer 6

You are asking a question with the sole purpose of despising our God. Will you please stop that kind of attitude. Question considered non sense. you are not only insulting the whole christian country in the world, but you are including God to be insulted by your nonsense question

Answer 7

Seeing that he talked to God, got to see God in his glory, and walked with God when he was here, I'm sure somewhere in that he was given the knowledge that he shared with us. The bible is not an encyclopedia of all things God. It is a basic understanding of how we should live our lives, and how even when we fail God is there to forgive.

Answer 8

anything more than mono in one being or entity is too much.

This is not a 3 in 1 Shampoo.

your question reminds me of "Disassociative Identity Disorder" or "Multiple Personality Disorder".
