*The concept of “trinity” is NOT found in the Bible.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD!
GOD, THE FATHER is the INVISIBLE Holy Spirit, NOT a human.
The Spirit of God is IMMORTAL and can never die.
Numbers 23:19 “GOD IS NOT A MAN, so he does not lie. HE IS NOT HUMAN, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”
- 1 Samuel 15:21 “And HE WHO IS THE GLORY of Israel will not lie, nor will he change his mind, for HE IS NOT HUMAN that he should change his mind!”
John 4:24 “For GOD IS SPIRIT, so those who worship him must worship IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.”
1 Corinthians 15:45 “The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, CHRIST—IS A LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT.”
JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD = the VISIBLE Glory of the INVISIBLE Father.
This is how the INVISIBLE GOD appears!
John 10:30 “The Father and I are ONE.”
Christ APPEARED as the Glory of God BEFORE anything was created.
Genesis 1:1-2 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And THE SPIRIT OF GOD was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “LET THERE BE LIGHT,” and there was LIGHT.”
2 Corinthians 4:5-6 “You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this LIGHT shine in our HEARTS so we could know THE GLORY OF GOD THAT IS SEEN IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST.”
John 8:12 “Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have THE LIGHT THAT LEADS TO LIFE.”
Hebrews 1:1-4 “Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and THROUGH THE SON HE CREATED THE UNIVERSE. THE SON RADIATES GOD’S OWN GLORY AND EXPRESSES THE VERY CHARACTER OF GOD, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.”
Colossians 1:15–16 “CHRIST IS THE VISIBLE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD. HE EXISTED BEFORE ANYTHING WAS CREATED and is supreme over all creation, for THROUGH HIM God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created THROUGH HIM and FOR HIM.”
Christ led the Israelites out of Egypt.
Exodus 33:18-23
“Moses responded, “Then SHOW ME YOUR GLORIOUS PRESENCE.”
The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.” The Lord continued, “Look, stand near me on this rock. As MY GLORIOUS PRESENCE passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen.”Exodus 16:10 “And as Aaron spoke to the whole community of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. There THEY COULD SEE the awesome GLORY OF THE LORD in the cloud.”
- 1 Corinthians 10:1-4
“I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground. In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses. All of them ate the same SPIRITUAL FOOD, and all of them drank the same SPIRITUAL WATER. For they drank from THE SPIRITUAL ROCK that traveled with them, and THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST.”- Jude 5 “So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful.”
Christ APPEARED in human form; born of a virgin.
Isaiah 9:6 “For a child is born to us, A SON IS GIVEN TO US. The government will rest on his shoulders. And HE WILL BE CALLED: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, Prince of Peace.”
John 1:14–15 “So THE WORD BECAME HUMAN and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And WE HAVE SEEN HIS GLORY, THE GLORY OF THE FATHER’s ONE AND ONLY SON. John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for HE EXISTED LONG BEFORE ME.”
Matthew 1:20-23 “As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. And she will have a SON, and you are to name him JESUS, for HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.” All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him IMMANUEL, which means ‘GOD IS WITH US.’”
John 12:45 “For WHEN YOU SEE ME, YOU ARE SEEING THE ONE WHO SENT ME.”
Jesus Christ’s Transfiguration
Matthew 17:2-3 “As the men watched, JESUS’ APPEARANCE WAS TRANSFORMED SO THAT HIS FACE SHONE LIKE THE SUN, AND HIS CLOTHES BECOME AS WHITE AS LIGHT. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus.”
- 2 Peter 1:16-18 “For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes when he received HONOR AND GLORY FROM GOD THE FATHER. The voice from the majestic GLORY OF GOD said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.”
- Jeremiah 23:23-24 “Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the Lord. “No, I AM FAR AWAY AT THE SAME TIME. Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not EVERYWHERE in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord.”
Jesus Christ died physically but was risen to life in the Spirit of God, returning to His Glory
Peter 3:18 “Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.”
John 17:3-8 “And this is the way to have eternal life—TO KNOW YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, BRING ME INTO THE GLORY WE SHARED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN. I HAVE REVEALED YOU to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything I have is a GIFT from you, for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I CAME FROM YOU, and they BELIEVE you sent me.”
1 Timothy 3:16 “Without question, this is the great mystery of our FAITH: CHRIST WAS REVEALED IN A HUMAN BODY AND VINDICATED BY THE SPIRIT. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and TAKEN TO HEAVEN IN GLORY.”
Romans 9:5 “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are their ancestors, and CHRIST HIMSELF was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And HE IS GOD, THE ONE WHO RULES OVER EVERYTHING AND IS WORTHY OF ETERNAL PRAISE! Amen.”
- Ephesians 4:4-6 “For there is ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, who is over all, in all, and living through all.”
Christ APPEARED in God’s Glory to Paul (Saul) and continues to appear to anyone HE CHOOSES.
Acts 9:3-7 “As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, A LIGHT FROM HEAVEN suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I AM JESUS, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one!”
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 “But whenever someone turns to the Lord, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY. For THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed CAN SEE AND REFLECT THE GLORY OF THE LORD. And THE LORD—WHO IS THE SPIRIT—makes us more and more LIKE HIM as we are CHANGED INTO HIS GLORIOUS IMAGE.”
John 6:40 “For it is my Father’s will that ALL WHO SEE HIS SON AND BELIEVE IN HIM should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”
The difference between Yahweh and Jesus Christ:
God had to be born into mortal human flesh, like ours – to make the way for us to immortality. He couldn’t have done that as Yahweh because God is Spirit that can never die. So He became human to die for us because we are mortal humans.
Zechariah 6:12-13
“Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Here is the MAN CALLED THE BRANCH. He will branch out from where he is and build the Temple of the Lord. Yes, HE WILL BUILD THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD. Then he will receive royal honor and will rule as king from his throne. He will also serve as priest from his throne, and there will be perfect harmony between his TWO ROLES.’”
- John 2:19-22 “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?” But when Jesus said “THIS TEMPLE,” he meant HIS OWN BODY. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.”
YAHWEH
Mark 12:26-27 “But now, as to whether the dead will be raised—haven’t you ever read about this in the writings of Moses, in the story of the burning bush? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had DIED, God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So HE IS GOD OF THE LIVING, NOT THE DEAD. You have made a serious error.”
- Luke 20:37-38 ”But now, as to whether the dead will be raised—even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had DIED, he referred to the Lord as ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So he is THE GOD OF THE LIVING, NOT THE DEAD, for THEY are all ALIVE TO HIM.”
The word “death” or “dead” is interchanged. There are two meanings:
*Spiritual Death = living in sin, and passing away in sin.
*Physical Death = dead flesh.
JESUS CHRIST
Romans 14:9 “CHRIST DIED AND ROSE AGAIN for this very purpose—TO BE THE LORD BOTH OF THE LIVING AND OF THE DEAD.” 👈🏼
Acts 10:39-43 “And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear, not to the general public, but to us whom God had chosen in advance to be his witnesses. We were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. And he ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that. JESUS IS THE ONE APPOINTED BY GOD TO BE THE JUDGE OF ALL—THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM will have their SINS FORGIVEN 👉🏼 THROUGH HIS NAME.” 👈🏼
Philippians 2:9-11 “Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him THE NAME ABOVE ALL OTHER NAMES, THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the glory of God the Father.”
Revelation 1:17-18 “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST. I am the living one. I DIED, but look—I AM ALIVE FOREVER AND EVER! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.”
- Isaiah 41:4 “Who has done such mighty deeds, summoning each new generation from the beginning of time? IT IS I, THE LORD, THE FIRST AND THE LAST. I ALONE AM HE.”
Hebrews 2:14-18 “Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—THE SON ALSO BECAME FLESH AND BLOOD. For ONLY AS A HUMAN BEING COULD HE DIE, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, IT WAS NECESSARY FOR HIM TO BE MADE IN EVERY RESPECT LIKE US, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would TAKE AWAY THE SINS of the people. Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.”
JESUS CHRIST = THE NAME THAT SAVES!
- NOT the name Yahweh! This is NOT a “different God” but a ROLE God took by appearing in HUMAN FLESH to save us! Those who call on the name of Yahweh (or any other) will NOT be saved because they refuse to acknowledge God’s role in His sacrifice in the body of His Son.
Acts 4:10-12 “Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by THE POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS CHRIST THE NAZARENE, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. For JESUS is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’ THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE! GOD HAS GIVEN NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED.”
2 Timothy 1:9-10 “For God saved us and called us TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of CHRIST JESUS, OUR SAVIOR. He broke the power of death AND ILLUMINATED THE WAY TO LIFE AND IMMORTALITY THROUGH THE GOOD NEWS.”John 5:19-23 “So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. WHATEVER THE FATHER DOES, THE SON ALSO DOES. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished. For just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants. In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him.”
1 John 2:18-25 “Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come. These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us. But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit, and all of you know the truth. So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.”
2 John 1:7-11 “I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward. Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement.
ANYONE WHO ENCOURAGES SUCH PEOPLE BECOMES A PARTNER IN THEIR EVIL WORK.”
JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD
Psalm 18:31 “FOR WHO IS GOD EXCEPT THE LORD? WHO BUT OUR GOD IS A SOLID ROCK?”
Romans 10:5-15
“For Moses writes that THE LAW’S WAY of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. But FAITH’S WAY of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about FAITH that we preach: IF YOU OPENLY DECLARE that JESUS IS LORD and BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For it is BY BELIEVING IN YOUR HEART that you are made right with God, and it is BY OPENLY DECLARING YOUR FAITH that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who TRUSTS IN HIM will never be disgraced.” Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have THE SAME LORD, who gives generously to ALL who call on him. For “EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
But HOW CAN THEY CALL ON HIM TO SAVE THEM UNLESS THEY BELIEVE IN HIM? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him UNLESS SOMEONE TELLS THEM? And how will anyone go and tell them WITHOUT BEING SENT? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”Psalm 18:2 “THE LORD IS MY ROCK, my fortress, and MY SAVIOR; MY GOD IS MY ROCK, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, THE POWER THAT SAVES ME, and my place of safety.” 💗
- 1 Corinthians 12:3 “So I want you to know that no one SPEAKING BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD will curse Jesus, and no one can say JESUS IS LORD, EXCEPT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.”
