The Trinity is 1 God made up of 3 persons. There is nothing wrong with using the term "Trinity" even though the word is not found in the Bible. It is shorter to say the word "Trinity" than to say "3 coexistent, co-eternal persons making up 1 God." If this presents a problem to you, consider this: the word grandfather is not used in the Bible either. Yet, we know there were grandfathers in the Bible. Abraham was the grandfather of Jacob. So don't get hung up on the term "Trinity" itself. What should be of real importance is that the concept that is REPRESENTED by the word "Trinity" does exist in Scripture. With the introduction out of the way, Bible verses will be given in discussion of the Trinity.\n\n1) There is one God: Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5.\n\n2) The Trinity consists of three Persons: Genesis 1:1; 1:26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8; 48:16; 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17; Matt 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14. In the passages in the Old Testament, a knowledge of Hebrew is helpful. In Genesis 1:1, the plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26; 3:22; 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for "us" is used. That "Elohim" and "us" refer to more than two is WITHOUT question. In English, you only have two forms, singular and plural. In Hebrew, you have three forms: singular, dual, and plural. Dual is for two ONLY. In Hebrew, the dual form is used for things that come in pairs like eyes, ears, and hands. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun "us" are plural forms - definitely more than two - and must be referring to three or more (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).\n\nIn Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking.  Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus' baptism. Seen in this is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son.  Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are examples of 3 distinct persons in the Trinity.\n\n3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages: In the Old Testament, "LORD" is distinguished from "Lord" (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The "LORD" has a "Son" (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). Spirit is distinguished from the "LORD" (Numbers 27:18) and from "God" (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, John 14:16-17 is where Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit. This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also all of the other times in the Gospels where Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another person in the Trinity - the Father.\n\n4) Each member of the Trinity is God: The Father is God: John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2. The Son is God: John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20. The Holy Spirit is God: Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16 (The One who indwells is the Holy Spirit - Romans 8:9; John 14:16-17; Acts 2:1-4).\n\n5) The subordination within the Trinity: Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship, and does not deny the deity of any person of the Trinity. This is simply an area which our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see: Luke 22:42; John 5:36; John 20:21; 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see: John 14:16; 14:26; 15:26; 16:7 and especially John 16:13-14.\n\n6) The tasks of the individual members of the Trinity: The Father is the ultimate source or cause of: 1) the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); 2) divine r

all three were real people, but jesus was not only a human being, he is also God. and out of every person who ever claimed to be God,  or was called god, Jesus is the only one to die and come back from the grave....

By saying the trinity, you are saying,"There are 3 distinct persons united in one God." They are not just names of the same God.They can co-exist at the same time and yet they are one. Taking this definition, It is actually not a mystery. The key to unsolving this mystery is understanding "one". The one is not the numerical number one. Below are the 2 definitions of one.\n\nA) Yachead – Absolute unity; the numerical number one\n– Abraham offered up his only (Yachead) son (Genesis 22:2,12)\n– They shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only (Yachead) son (Zechariah 12:10)\n\nB) Echad – A collective unity; more than one person, one crowd, one nation etc.\n–People gathered together as one (Echad) (Ezra 3:1)\n–The Lord or God is one (Echad) God (Deuteronomy 6:4)\n–In that day, there shall be one (Echad) Lord and His Name one (Echad) (Zechariah 14:9)\n\nFor example there is one nation, but in it there is many distinct different persons. So likewise God is one(echad) God.\n\nExample 2: There is one Sun to rule the earth,The sun manifests in threefold power,Light, fire and heat. They can co_exist at the same time. \n\nNow for the sake of study, Christians have seperated the father, the son and the holy spirit, to be able to learn about each individual in a more comprehensive manner.\n\nBut the truth is they are always together and they are inseperable.\n\nso all these to say that \na) God is one in operation but 3 in revelation\nb) The three are distinguishable but indivisible\n\nHope this helps

God is one God in three parts, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They are all every bit God but able to function separately. Don't worry about the De Vinci Code, it fiction.

There is only one true God.  I do not as a christian worship the holy spirit nor Jesus Christ.  The Bible never gave such directions, only to worship one God as one.  the holy spirit is God's active force and Jesus  as his son never wanted worship for himself

Have you ever heard of the Holy Trinity?  That is God (the Father), Jesus (the Son), and the Holy Spirit.  They are all the same being.  It is very difficult to comprehend, at least with our human mind.  The Bible talks about the three of them separately so many times it almost seems as they are different, but they are truly one.\n\nThe easiest way it was explained to me for comprehension was this:  Think about who you are...for example, let's say you are a mother, a daughter, and an office manager.  You are all three of those things, but you are one person.  \n\nThere is a lot more to it, but they are all the same with different traits and do different things for us.  If you'd like a more indepth answer let me know.  I just don't want to write an obnoxiously long response here.

"God"  He is the Father, Son(Jesus), And Holy Spirit. Jesus told his disciples he would return to them through the Holy spirit God is the Holy Spirit. They are all the same One God.  God Bless!!

in my book of prayers, some of the prayers are dedicated to the Father, others to the Son and others to the Holy Ghost.\nThe Son, Jesus Christ, and also the Holy Ghost descend from the Father. But the Holy Trinity makes a single God, not three.\nIt's like we have a mind, a body and a spirit. Three different elements, but a single person. We don't only cultivate our mind, but eat in order to feed our body, and need emotional contact in order to fulfil our spiritual needs...

The concept of the Trinity is often hard to grasp. In your question, you seem to show that you believe that the Trinity did not always exist. According to John 1, Jesus was with God, in God, and God from the begining, they were never seperate (except when Jesus took on the world's sins on the cross). in John 10, Jesus states that 'I and the father are one,' in John 10:30. The plainest biblical evidence for the Trinity falls in 1 John 5:7, where it says "7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. "\n\nEach Godhead (The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) are God, and the same one God, yet they are different. They each have their distinctive roles, yet are one unit.

No.  God is One in three distinct.personalities.  I know this is hard to wrap your brain around, but it is.\n\nTry the study titled "Is God one or three?" link below.

God was speaking to the Trinity. The word God in the Hebrew language implies plural yet still singular (kinda like saying one family). There is only one God, but He is 3 distinct beings - Father, Son (Word), and Holy Spirit

Good question.\n\nIt's part of that confusing concept: the trinity. Tri-une means three which are at the same time one. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are all together one God!\n\nLet's face it. God invented the concept of 3 and he can ignore any rules he wants to, especially when he is not a physical object.\n\nGod's Triune nature reflects God's infinite complexity. God is more complex than we can understand. The finite created mind is not greater than the infinite creator.\n\nGod's Triune nature also reflects God's relational nature and his self-sufficiency. God by himself is in perfect community while being complete in himself.\n\nHumans are not. Humans are created in the "image of God" which means we relate at a higher level (language) than any other creature. In fact, human beings need relationships. Solitary confinement often sends people insane. So we seek to become a complete unit by uniting with a partner. We survive in community because we are not self-sufficient.\n----------------------------------\n\nTo sit at The Father’s right hand was to be given the place of power, blessing, honor, preeminence and rulership. Literally the highest place and to share in that throne. \n\nIt also fulfills a Messianic prophecy:\nPsalm 110:1  YHWH (God's name) said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool."\n\nHope this helps.

Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit)\nthe third Person of the Trinity\n\nHis personality is proved…\n\n…from the fact that the attributes of personality, as intelligence and volition, are ascribed to him (John 14:17, 26; 15:26; 1 Cor. 2:10-11; 12:11). \n\nHe reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes (John 16:7-13; Rom. 8:26).

God is one God whose name is Jehovah, Jesus is His Son whom He created in the beginning, and the Holy spirit is God's active force or power He uses to accomplish His will.
