IS GOD A TRINITY According the Bible, God is a Triune Being. As all humans are a trinity (soul, body, and spirit--1 Ths. 5:23), God is also a Trinity. In Genesis 1:26, God said, "Let us make man in our image. . ." In Genesis 11:7, God said, ". . . .let us go down, and there confound their language. . ." The terms "us" and "our" obviously refer to the Holy Trinity. So the Trinity is found in the very early chapters of the Bible. In the New Testament, we can see all three Members of the Trinity at the Baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter three. God the Father is speaking from Heaven. God the Son is being baptized, and God the Holy Ghost is descending like a dove. When Jesus gave the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, He said in verse 19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." 1 John 5:7 tells us that there are THREE that bear record in Heaven: ". . . the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (The "Word" is Christ according to John 1:1-3, 14, and 1 John 1:1-3.) God is a Trinity. He isn't three Gods, like the JW's accuse us of believing, but He is ONE Triune God. The pagans who worshipped three gods did so because they knew from observing the creation that God must be in some way associated with the number "THREE." They never fully understood the Holy Trinity, but you must admit that they came much closer than the JW's. The JW's believe that Jehovah is God the Father, and that Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are not God. They're wrong. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are both Deity. Jesus Christ Is Deity As the Second Member of the Trinity, Jesus Christ stands co-existent in Eternity with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. There are many proofs in the scriptures for the Deity of Christ. We will now list somel of them.
The Holy Ghost Is Deity The JW's believe that the Holy Ghost is only "God's active force." They deny the scriptural teaching that the Holy Ghost is a Member of the Holy Trinity: The Jehovah witnesses deny that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and denying the Holy Spirit attributes. It is very sad how can millions of people read the word of God and yet deny all the facts that are in the scriptures. Only a person could have a MIND (Rom. 8:27). Only God could perform all the great wonders that the Holy Ghost performs (Psa. 104:30; Jhn. 14:16, 26; 16:8-14; Job 33:4; 1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 1:13; 4:30). The Holy Ghost is God because blasphemy against Him shall not be forgiven (Mat. 12:31). The scripture is very clear on who Jesus is and it is a very sad truth that the Jehovah witnesses and others like them are missing the biggest part of the salvation. It doesn’t matter if you believe in Jesus, the question is do you have the right Jesus? There are many Jesus’ all over the world. The Mormons have a different one, The Cultists have a different one, and even the Muslims believe in Jesus but it is not the Jesus(GOD) FROM THE WORD OF GOD. Unless you get to know the real Christ from the scripture you will perish. Just believing in the name (JESUS) is not enough, all the cults and false religions believe in Jesus but, the only Jesus that is going to take us to heaven in His Grace is the true Jesus from the Bible. That is why Sola Scriptura is such an important and a very essential doctrine of a Christian. Because if you do not believe in scripture alone you will be swept in a cult or a false Christ. HUMAN REASONING is the final authority of all cults. Rather than to take God at His word BY FAITH, a cultist will always REJECT God's word and attempt to reason things out for himself. All cults will ADD TO, SUBTRACT FROM, OR IGNORE the written revelation of God. Either we trust in men or the WORD of God. |
