ONE GOD
There is only one God.
This statement of fact is fully documented throughout the Scriptures.
In the Old Testament, God said
Deut 6:4 (KJV)
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD
Isaiah 44:7-8 (KJV)
8 Fear 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.
This same truth is fulfilled in the New Testament, In Paul’s writings we find
1 Tim 2:4-5 (KJV)
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
James 2:18-19 (KJV)
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
There are no contradictions in the Bible. The word “trinity” is not found in the Bible. This term, coined by the Roman Catholic Church, was introduced at the Nicean Council of 325 A.D.
It is accepted by most Protestant groups, and states that there is one God divided into three persons who are coequal and coeternal.
This of course, is a contradiction, an impossibility, and completely unscriptural. It is without scriptural foundation.
God is a spirit. He has no physical limitations. He may be seen only in Jesus Christ. But He is everywhere, an omnipotent, omnipresent God filling the universe.
Jonh said.
John 4:23-24 (KJV)
“24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Many people try to explain the mystery of godliness and get very confussed. This simple truth must be understood by revelation, The Holy Ghost,which is the spirit of God, will reveal this beautiful truth to honest-hearted people seeking truth.
I Tim 3:15-16 (KJV)
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.
John 1:13-14 (KJV)
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Col 2:8-9 (KJV)
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Cor 5:18-19 (KJV)
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
God desired complete fellowship with His creation, and He was finally achieving this goal through the supreme sacrifice.
The purposes of the Sonship of God are as follows:
1] To provide a Redeemer, a sinless sacrifice for our sins.Only God could provide such a sacrifice.
2] To become our Mediator.
3] To become our King. Someday He will reign upon the earth as the King of kings (Matt.26:64}
4] To become our Judge.( Acts:17:31)
With this understanding, you can readily see how Jesus Christ possessed a dual nature. HE WAS BOTH DIVINE AND HUMAN. He was deity when He said “all power” was given unto Him (Matt. 28:18) and when He exercised the right to forgive sins. ( Mark 2:5 and Luke 7:48 )
He was humanity when He suffered, bled, and died on the cross. He was deity when He arose again, victorious over death.
