Bible Question:
Hello, I am having problem with the Trinity thing. I know the bible says that if you see the father you see me and me and the father are one, but as I read the bible it speaks of them individually are they (2) or are they one? Please help me understand this I appreciate it very much. |
Bible Answer: Hi Towanda, The Trinity, though the word itself is not found in the Bible is clearly taught! C.H. Spurgeon, in his Puritan Cathecism, succinctly said this: Q. Are there more Gods than one? A. There is but one only, (Deuteronomy 6:4) the living and true God. (Jeremiah 10:10) Q. How many persons are there in the Godhead? A. There are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God, the same in essence, equal in power and glory. (1 John 5:7; Matthew 28:19) You are not alone in your "problem" with trying to understand the infinite God! Augustine is quoted as saying, "If we be asked to define the Trinity,we can only say. it is not this or that." We cannot fully understand the Trinity, not with our finite minds, but we must believe it if we accept the revelation of the Bible for faith. Scripture affirms through the teachings of the prophets and the apostles that there is one God; and yet it also reveals that God exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19, 2 Cor. 13:14). In the OT, there are intimations of the tri-unity of the Godhead (Is, 6:8, 9:6; 48:15, 16: Prov. 30:1-4; and Mal. 3:1-5). Moreover, Jesus claimed the He and the Father were one and the same (John 10:30) and that he was the I AM of the OT (John 8:58) Thus one God is fully revealed in the Son by the Spirit. I hope this helps, BradK |
