Date Posted: 11:42:34 05/26/07 Sat DEFENDING THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY TRINITY: Excerpts from the Christology, "Jesus The Lord of Glory". CHAPTER ONE * JESUS PART OF THE GODHEAD ~ TRINITY EXCERPT: (Page 1) "The Godhead, which is also called the Holy Trinity consist of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. All three are perfectly united as the Godhead. They all have eternally existed as one Almighty God. The word of God declares in the book of Deuteronomy chapter six, verse four, "Hear O Israel. The Lord our God is one God." And then in verse five, the first commandment is defined as, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and your soul." The term God in the Bible refers to The Holy Trinity or any member, but in some cases is a general name for false gods. Notice the Biblical accounts of creation, the book of Genesis, which is also called the first book of Moses. In chapter one, verse one reads, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth." The word God, refers to the Godhead, or Holy Trinity. The word for God in Hebrew is Elohim, which is plural ... Note: There are three Biblical proofs for the Holy Trinity: 1) Matthew 3:13-17 ~ 13: Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14: And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” 15: But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. 16: When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God, (God the Holy Spirit), descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17: And suddenly a voice came from heaven, (God the Father), saying, “This is My beloved Son, (Jesus-God the Son), in whom I am well pleased.” 2) Matthew 28:16-20 ~ 16: Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17: When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18: And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20: teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Amen. 3) 1st. John: 6-13 ~ 6:This is He who came by water and blood of Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Holy Spirit who bears witness, because the Holy Spirit is truth. 7: For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8: And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. 9: If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. 10: He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11: And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12: He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13: These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of Jesus, the Son of God.
