Understanding The Trinity

With this writing we hope others will gain a better, and deeper understanding of the Trinity!

We will be using The Hebrew Names, and title. This should help give a deeper understanding to this topic.


The Old Testament says There is one GOD or rather (Elohim) Elohim is a plural for of GOD
Deuteronomy 6:4  Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our Elohim is one Yahweh:

The New Testament says there is one GOD
Mark 12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; Yahweh our God is one Yahweh:
Galatians 3:20  Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

1 Co 8:6 but there is to us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we by Him.


James 2:19 You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.

1 Timothy 2:5 For God is one, and there is one Mediator of God and of men, the Man Christ Jesus,


So we see here that both Tetsaments agree that their is One God!


1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built?

John 4:24 God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

With these two verses we get a understnading that God is a Spirit, and that his Spirit is infinite.


Act 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart for you to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act 5:4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own authority? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.

Peter said you lied in verse 3 you have lied to "the Holy Spirit". In verse 4 he says you have lied "to God".
Now we see that God, and the Holy Spirit are one.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Jesus clearly states that GOD, and himself "are one"
God is a Spirit, and Jesus is flesh, and the only way that they can be one is with God's Spirit (the Holy Spirit) which inhabits the fleshly body of Jesus.

So now we see that God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are all one.
This certainly points to a oneness, because everything preceeds from God the Heavenly Father.
It is not three that are one, but rather one who reveals himself in three different modes/personalities, and so on, and excreta.

Now their is still the question of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
They certainly seem seperate in this wording or phrasing, eventhough they all one who precede from the Heavenly Father.


But The New Testament also says there is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Three persons, or personalities, and or three different aspects of God.
God reveals himself in these different modes so that we may know him better.

Elohim also happens to be a plural form of GOD
Elohim literally translated means GODS

EL literally translated means GOD
So we see that their is a Plural that is in GOD himself

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Yes they are separate, still they are all one, and a part of each other, and equal.
This concept is difficult to under stand because this is the Spirit at work here.
The Spirit connects them all together.

There is ONE who reveals himself in THREE Manifestations
__________________________

Here is the definition of manifestation from the Greek...

GREEK 602
ἀποκάλυψις
apokalupsis
ap-ok-al'-oop-sis
From G601; disclosure: - appearing, coming, lighten, manifestation, be revealed, revelation.

We see here that manifestation means "Apearing", and "be revealed"
God has relealed himself through Jesus, and his Holy Spirit.

GREEK 5321
φανερωσις
phanerōsis
fan-er'-o-sis
From G5319; exhibition, that is, (figuratively) expression, (by extension) a bestowment: - manifestation.
exhibition means to show.
This defination can mean that the God is expressing himself by an extension with the Holy Spirit ,and Christ
with showing himslef in different forms

__________________________

The Father GOD (YAHWEH) the Son JESUS (YAHSHUA), and the Holy Spirit
Both Old, and New Testaments say there is one GOD.
Some people get stuck on that, and believe in the Oneness, and do not understand that there is "one" who "reveals" himself in "three Manifestations" or persons.
which seems clear that their is "ONE" and their is "THREE" this means Try Unity

WHY?

Three that are unified in one!
A Unity of  "ONE", and "THREE"

It's like a triangle.
A triangle has one line, and three corners, and they are all connected, and each line is the same length as all the rest.

Because there is one who shows himself in three different forms, but they are all in contact at the same time with each other, and a part of each other, and equal to each other, and still they are all one.

Another comparison is Water, Ice, and Fog. They are all Water (essentially one matter).
They are all connected by the air, and our atmosphere.
Still they are separate, and individual, and they still are made of the same substance (Water).

So when a person says there is a Oneness.
They are kind of right because, it all comes back to ONE, and the three are all one, and they are all equal.
So they are only part right.

When a person says there is a Trinity they to are kind of right.
Because their are three manifestations, still they are all one, and they are always connected in Spirit, and always a part of each other, and all equal
This makes a "UNITY" in trinity which is part of One.
  So this makes this a TRY UNITY!

Now being that their are One that are three, and the three that are always connected, and always a part of each other, and they are all equal in every way
TRY UNITY explains the One that are Three the best!

Trinity is to separate, and to individual, and does not explain the unity that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all have, and share with each other!

Although oneness is closer to what the Scriptures say, Try unity is a better discription of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
