Bible Question: first i want to thank u all for the prayers for my family.this site is a way that god shows us that were evil can b used god can use it more...my question is i know of the trinity of god. the father,the son, and the holy sporit. iv been asked today to explain how the three are all still god or are they of god? and how and why does all mighy one need three parts? |
Bible Answer: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not three names of three parts of God. God does not speak of himself as having parts. The Bible says that there is only one true and living God. Is 45:22, "Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.” But while the God says that he is the one and only God, you also see in Scripture that the one God is more than one “person.” Here is an interesting verse that illustrates what I’m saying: "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me.” (Is 44:6) You’ll notice that two persons are speaking, the Lord AND his Redeemer. And the two of them speak as one God saying, “I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God beside Me.” In the Bible God does not give us a complete explanation of how in one sense He is one and how in another sense He is three, but if we keep in mind that He is NOT one in the same sense that He is three, then we will see that this is not a contradiction in Scripture and that we are not talking nonsense. So, God is NOT one God and three gods, and it never says such nonsense in Scripture. There is a one-ness of God and there is a three-ness of the one God. We all belong to some family. The John Smith family is one family, but in the one family there are, say, five persons. So, the Smith family is one in one sense and five in another sense. They are one AND they are five, but not in the same sense. Do you see my point? In Scripture God is one and God is three, but not in the same sense. And the word we use to capture the oneness and three-ness of God is Trinity. He is the triune God, “God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!” 2 Cor. 13:14, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God [the Fater], and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.” |
