January 14, 2023, "The Holy Trinity"

[A mystery.]
Isaiah 55:9, the trinity is a mystery and a paradox

[The Trinity.]
Genesis 1:26, "Elohim" is God singular and plural or "singular, but plural" or singular noun in plural form. Example: "God said"... "Let us", "our likeness", "our image"
Genesis 3:22, "the man is become as one of us", the translation to "us" remains plural
Genesis 11:7, "come let us go"- plural
Matthew 3:16-17, the three persons of the trinity appear: Jesus comes out of the water (the Son), the dove lands on Him (the Holy Spirit), the voice from Heaven proclaims (the Father)

[The Father.]
Genesis 1:1, from eternity and unconstrained by time and space
Exodus 3:14-15, "I AM"
1 Corinthians 8:6, all things came from the Father and yet no one has physically seen the Father at any time. Until Christ came down to earth, people only saw, for example, the fire in the bush, the pillar of clouds, and the pillar of fire.
Genesis 3:8-10, no one has seen God the Father at any time, and here Adam and Eve can only hear His voice. They tried to run away from Him right after they sinned, and today the natural human also tries to flee from God.

[The Son.]
Revelation 1:8, is, was, and which is... the Almighty since the very beginning
Daniel 3:24-25, the pre-incarnate Christ (before the baby in the manger) appeared in this instance as the 4th person in the furnace with Shadrach, Meschach, and Abed-nego
Joshua 5:13-15, the pre-incarnate Christ appearing before Joshua
Collosians 2:9, Jesus Christ IS the "fullness"[sic] of the Godhead, He was still God in eternity past, pre-incarnate, incarnate as a man on earth, and still God after His resurrection
John 8:56-58, Jesus confessed that He was both God the Father and God the Son
John 14:8-10, Jesus fully God and man in that moment as the incarnate Christ
John 1:1-3, in the beginning was the Word, Word was with God, AND the Word WAS God
Isaiah 7:14, the Lord himself declaring the child that will be born of a virgin
Isaiah 9:6, either Isaiah was a very elaborate liar OR he was plugged into a very special source of information that revealed Immanuel
2 Peter 1:1-2, the Christ is the saviour/Messiah, and here both the Father and Christ are described together
Titus 2:13, also here God and Christ combined together in the same description
Acts 5:3-4, Peter proclaiming that Ananias lied to all 3: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Essentially telling Ananias that if God was a fable, then why even do anything, and yet Ananias sinned

[All 3 together.]
John 14:15-18, Jesus revealing that the Holy Spirit would come
2 Corinthians 13:14, communion with the Holy Spirit
John 15:26, the Holy Spirit is NOT worshiped, but the Spirit does point to Jesus Christ. Example: the Holy Spirit points to Christ (example diagram: lower left vertex on the triangle on your anterior chest view), the Son does everything (points to) the Father tells Him (example diagram: the lower right vertex on the triangle on your anterior chest view), all things come from the Father (example diagram: upper vertex on the triangle on your anterior chest view)
John 12:49-50, God the Father directs the Son
Genesis 1:2-3, the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (here is the Holy Spirit), then God the Father said...
Genesis 3:21, someone had to die in order for God to give Adam and Eve "coats of skins" to cover their nakedness (the sewn fig leaves would not suffice for God), just as someone had to die in order for God to bring all the children of Adam and Eve back to Him

[The future.]
Revelation 22:4-5, and finally the time comes when God's face can be seen (those who came to Christ can see)
