Blessed Be... )O(

Acording to the Christian teachings there is in easy terms one God. God is composed of three persons/personas. the father, the writer who's neither begotton nor proceeds. The Son who's eternaly beggoton (IE, has continually been) of the father. And the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the father(and the Son whilst taking into attention the Challadean clause). the father isn't the Son or the Holy Spirit yet is God. The Son isn't the father or the Holy Spirit yet is God. The Holy Spirit isn't the father or the Son yet is God. there is in easy terms one God. Basicly that's what trinitarianism is approximately. It cant be totally grasped becuse it is style of above as as people. its a holy secret. i wish this permits, Kindest regards, Paul...

The origins of the Trinity or The One Triune God begin in the book of Genesis and continue throughout the Bible. It was the doctrine of the early Church and has been written about by early Church Fathers like Origen, Irenaeus, and Ephraim the Syrian, before the Council of Nicea.

It IS in the Bible.
I don't have my reading glasses with me-
BUT God said something like -'I send my son, Who , when you talk to Him, you have talked to the Father.'
and then He said, like 'I will send a helper,....."
But, it's THERE!
The Holy Spirit lives and breathes in me.
He is the most awesome God!
He will fill your heart with joyfulness, PEACE that passes understanding, contentment,.....
But you HAVE TO BELIEVE HE IS REAL!
WAY TO GO, tebone03!!!!
God is EVERYTHING TO ME!
God IS!

Jesus tells us in John 14:9 "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father". The Father is Jesus. Jesus tells us:
"I am come in my Father's name" (John 5:43)
"I and my Father are one." (John 10:30)
Jesus is "God", the "Father", and the "Son":
"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." (Isaiah 9:6)
The Father (God) is called "Lord" in the old testament. (Psalms 110:1),(Isaiah 45:6)
The Father (God) is called "Lord" in the new testament . (Mark 12:36-37)
Jesus (God) is called "Lord" in the old testament. (Psalms 110:1),(Mark 12:36-37)
Jesus (God) is called "Lord" in the new testament. (1 Corinthians 15:47), (Jude 4)
Jesus (God) is called "God" in the old testament. (Isaiah 9:6)
Jesus (God) is called "God" in the new testament. (Matthew 1:23), (John 20:28), (Hebrews 1:8), (Titus 2:13), (1 Timothy 3:16), (Acts 20:28), (Acts 22:8-14)
The Father (God) is called the "Saviour" in the old testament (Isaiah 45:21), (Isaiah 43:11)
The Father (God) is called the "Saviour" in the new testament (Luke 1:47)
Jesus (God) is called the "Saviour" in the new testament (Titus 2:13), (Luke 2:11)
The Father (God) is called "God" in the old testament. (Hosea 13:4)
The Father (God) is called "God" in the new testament. (I Corinthians 8:6)
Jesus (God) is called "Father" in the old testament. (Isaiah 9:6)
If Jesus and the Father are not the same person, but there is just one Lord, and there is just one God, then how can Jesus and the Father both be God, and both be Lord. (Two persons would make two Lords, and two Gods)
There is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:6 [Read Below]). There is one Lord. (Ephesians 4:5 [Read Below]). There is one God. (Ephesians 4:6 [Read Below]).
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." (Ephesians 4:4-6)
Jesus is God, Jesus is Lord, and Jesus is the Spirit. Jesus is the Holy Ghost. Jesus is the Comforter:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14:16)
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:18)
"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." (Romans 8:9)
Jesus will manifest himself as the Holy Ghost:
"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." John 14:21
The name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26)
The Father and Jesus will reside in the believer as the Holy Ghost (one God ; one Spirit). This is not three people residing:
"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (John 14:23)
Jesus lets us know in John 14:23 that the Holy Ghost, the Father & Jesus will abide with the believer. Remember in Ephesians 4:6, there is just one Spirit. There is one God. Jesus is the name of God. Jesus is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The bible tells us Jesus is above all:
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:" (Colossians 2:9-10)
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18)
And the bible tells us that the God, the Father is above all:
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." (Ephesians 4:4-6)
Jesus and the Father can not both be above all, unless they are the same person / spirit. Ephesians 4:6 states that the Father is through all, and in you all. The Father is the Holy Ghost.
The bible tells us the Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost prove Jesus is the Son of God. And there is one God. (And Ephesians 4:5 tells us there is one Lord)
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (I John 5:7)
All things were made by Jesus:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:1-3)
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" (Colossians 1:16)
If Jesus was not God, how could he make all things.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
Jesus is God. God created heaven and earth. Jesus created heaven and earth. "Two persons" did not create the earth. It was done alone, by the one living God:
"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself" (Isaiah 44:24)
Jesus is the first and the last:
"And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:17-18)

It's another daft idea thought up by some theologian many years ago. They have to think up these silly idea from time to time so they can extract more money from the congregation. Like like Limbo. Boy what a money spinner that was.

The Trinity is best described by the Church:
The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the "consubstantial Trinity". The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: "The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God." In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), "Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature." RCC

It is in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 1 explains God said let US create man in OUR image.
Genesis 2 shows how man is created from the dust (flesh)
God breathed life into him (spirit)
and man became a living soul (soul)
God created man above the animals more than flesh which returns to dust but with an eternal spirit.

The WORD trinity is not there, but the concept of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is found throughout the Bible.
