Bible Question: Does the Bible really give evidence of the trinity. |
Bible Answer: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth-Gen.1:1. This is where everything started. God the Father was the speaker of the Word, He said "Let there be light", and there was light. God the Spirit was hovering over the waters. According to John 1:1-2 In the begining was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God. He was in the beginning WITH God. This is of course Jesus, the Word of God. This is also the same beginning that is recorded in Gen. Now you have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Now take a look at Isa. 44:6-7. "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me THERE IS NO GOD'. "THERE IS NO GOD BESIDES ME", v.5 chp.45. Back in Gen.1:26, God said, "Let US make man in our image..." Who was He talking to?? The Key to understanding the Trinity doesn't come from simple Bible reading, it comes through faith and BIBLE STUDYING. God has many different attributes, many different names, for example, the word/name God in Gen.1:1 was translated from the word/name Elohim, which among other things indicate a plurality in unity. Meditate on that one for awhile. To know what meaning is applied, is to understand the context the word/name is used in, and to understand the usage of that word/name in that culture during that time. The bible STRONGLY supports the doctrine of the trinity but only if it's understood and read in it's proper context. Don't just read your bible, STUDY your bible. Just out of curiosity, and to make sure that we're on the same page, what's your difinition of the trinity?? The CurtMan |
