The Bible nowhere speaks of God as a "trinity" or as "three persons" but often calls Him the Holy One. Isaiah 44:6-8 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 7And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 8Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Read Isaiah 43:10-13 & All of Chapters 44-49. King James Bible
The title of "The Word" found in John 1:1 and its matching verse in 1 John 1:1-2 relates to God's life. The Word is God's life (John 1:1), and that is what was "with God" in John 1:1 and 1 John 1:2. God's life was with him, as Psalm said: ""WITH THEE IS the fountain of LIFE" Psalm 36:9. In the person of Jesus Christ, "the Word was made flesh" (John 1:14). "God was manifest in the flesh" (I Timothy 3:16). Lastly, "that eternal LIFE, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us" 1 John 1:2. The Identity of Jesus Christ, he is the Father, his body the flesh that was born, that part of him is the son. Jesus Christ is both God and man. He is the one father God incarnate.
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9) "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself" (II Corinthians 5:19). Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, God manifest in flesh, our God and Savior, and the express image of God's own person (substance) (II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15; I Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:3; II Peter 1:1). He is not the incarnation of one person of a trinity but the incarnation of all the character, quality and personality of the one God. Jesus said, I Am (John 8:58). Only if Jesus is truly God does He have power to save from sin, for only God is the Savior and only He can forgive sin (Isaiah 43:25; 45:21-22; Mark 2:7). All names and titles of the Deity properly apply to Jesus. He is God (John 20:28), Lord (Acts 9:5), Jehovah (Isaiah 45:23 with Philippians 2:10-11), I Am (John 8:58), Father (Isaiah 9:6; Revelation 21:6-7), Word (John 1:14), and Holy Spirit (John 14:17-18). God the Father dwelt in the man Christ. Jesus said, "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30). "The Father is in me, and I in him" (John 10:38)."He that hath seen me hath seen the Father the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works" (John 14:9-10). The divine nature of Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit (Galatians 4:6; Philippians 1:19), which is the Spirit of the Father (Matthew 1:18-20; 10:20). "The Lord is that Spirit" (II Corinthians 3:17). Jesus is the One on the heavenly throne, as we see by comparing the description. Of Jesus in Revelation 1 with that of the One on the throne in Revelation 4 and by noting that "God and the Lamb" is one being in Revelation 22:3-4. Jesus is also the Son of God. The term Son can mean the human nature of Christ alone (as in "the Son died") or the union of deity and humanity (as in "the Son shall return to earth in glory"), but it is never used apart from God's incarnation. It never refers to deity alone. The terms "God the Son" and "eternal Son" are non biblical. The role of the Son began when Jesus was conceived miraculously in the womb of a virgin by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35; Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 1:5). The Scriptures emphatically proclaim Christ's genuine and complete humanity (Romans 1:3; Hebrews 2:14-17; 5:7-8). He had a human body, soul, spirit, mind, and will (Luke22:42 ;< 23:46; Acts 2:31; Philippians 2:5; Hebrews 10:5, 10). Jesus was a perfect human, with everything genuine humanity includes. Christ's true humanity does not mean He had a sinful nature. He was without sin, He did no sin, and sin was not in Him (Hebrews 4:15; I Peter 2:22; I John 3:5). He came with the kind of innocent human nature that Adam and Eve had in the beginning. Belief in Christ's true humanity is essential to salvation (I John 4:3). If our father God, did not truly come in the flesh, then there is no blood for remission of sin, no sacrifice of atonement. The very purpose of the Incarnation was to provide a holy man to mediate between holy God and sinful mankind.
It is necessary to distinguish clearly between the deity and the humanity of Christ. While Jesus was both God and human at the same time, sometimes He acted from the human viewpoint and sometimes from the divine viewpoint. As Father, He sometimes spoke from His divine self-consciousness; as Son He sometimes spoke from His human self-consciousness. Only as a man could Jesus be born, grow, be tempted by the devil, hunger, thirst, become weary, sleep, pray, be beaten, die, not know all things, Not have all power, be inferior to God, and be a servant. Only as God could He exist from eternity, be unchanging, cast out devils by His own authority, be the bread of life, give living water, give spiritual rest, calm the storm, answer prayer, heal the sick, raise His body from death, forgive sin, know all things, have all power; be identified as God, and be King of kings. In an ordinary person, these two contrasting lists would be mutually exclusive, yet the Scriptures attribute all of them to Jesus, revealing - His Dual Nature- Although we must distinguish between Christ's deity and humanity it is impossible to separate the two. Christ, (John1:1, 14; 10:30, 38; 14:10-11; 16:32). The Father united with humanity to form one being - Jesus Christ, the Godhead incarnate. While on earth Jesus was fully God, not merely an anointed man. At the same time, He was fully man, not just an appearance of man. He possessed the unlimited power, authority, and character of God. He was God by nature, by right, by identity; He was not merely deified by an anointing or indwelling. Unlike a Spirit-filled believer, the humanity of Jesus was inextricably joined with all the fulness of God's Spirit. We can identify four major themes in the biblical description of the Incarnation (1) the absolute and complete deity Christ; (2) the perfect, sin less humanity of Jesus Christ; (3) the clear distinction between the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ; and yet (4) the inseparable union of deity and humanity in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the fulness of God dwelling in perfect humanity and manifesting Himself as a perfect human being. He is not the-transmutation of God into flesh, the manifestation of a portion of God, the animation of a human body by God, or God temporarily dwelling in a separate human person Jesus Christ is the incarnation-embodiment, human personification—of the one father God.
Here is something very interesting. Read, Rev 21:6-7 then look at Rev 21:3 and read down to the end of 21:7 again. In Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things and" I will be his God, and he shall be my son". Why is the Alpha and Omega not in "blood" red? Jesus is speaking in that verse. I know that in Rev 22:12-13 Jesus is speaking & Rev 1:8 & 1:9 After you look at this scripture Rev 3:21 and am set down in my fathers throne." KJV Bible"
Jesus is sitting in the very same throne, at the same time. The only way that's even possible is he is the father and his flesh, that part of him is the son. God is a spirit and his flesh had a physical virgin birth on earth. Notice he even took his flesh with him when he ascended to heaven. Once again we end up with what the Jews have, one father that is God. How can you love your father Jesus, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and all thy strength: If you don't know, Jesus is your one true father, and his flesh that was born is the son. For some people it’s all about pride, and who is right or wrong so they will say anything. They will even say unbiblical statements that have no truth; they will even defend a trinity or eternal son. Even the Jews, know there is only one God. How can you place all your love into one God if you're divided two or three ways. So I'm only telling you this truth, so you can love your one true father Jesus with all your love. God is not a God of confusion, so now you have the truth out of love. Jesus knew some day people would be confused about a trinity of persons, so he left us this verse in the KJV. 8 Will ye accept his person? Will ye contend for God? 9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? 10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. Job 13:7-10
This verse shows prayer returning to own bosom. 13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. Psalm 35:13
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psalm 65:2
Notice Jesus was in the flesh; Jesus said I am in the father, and the father in me. So he was saying he is in the father, the father was in heaven on the throne, So Jesus was sitting on the throne as the father notice he said , and the father in me so Jesus is the father, and was walking around in the flesh.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1Timothy 3:16
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16
Matthew 10:20 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Notice Jesus can even breathe his one holy spirit. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: John 20:22
This verse shows his one person again.
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his "person", and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Hebrews 1:3. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Hebrews 1:13 7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 1 John 5:7-8. We are one body with one spirit and words come out of our own mouth. We are made in the image and likeness of God. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:4-6 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)Ephesians 4:10. 24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; Isaiah 44:24 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:16-17 My name is in the bible in Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy KJV bible. I'm non-denominational, I put all this together so you can place all your love, into your one father Jesus!
