On a channel called “Black-and-White Bible,” I posted Isaiah 43:10–11, saying
that God exists as one and that the Holy Spirit is the essence of God.
The channel administrator responded as follows:
(That is correct. The Bible clearly says that God is only one.
The statement, “I am the LORD, and besides Me there is no other,” is indeed true.
However, the Trinity does not mean that there are three Gods.
Rather, it is an expression that summarizes the overall revelation of Scripture
that the one God exists in three persons.
The Bible affirms two things at the same time:
that God is one, and that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all God.
For example, Jesus is clearly distinguished from God, yet He is also presented as being one with God.
He said, “I and the Father are one,” and Thomas confessed to Him, “My Lord and my God.”
Jesus did not deny this.
The Holy Spirit is also described not merely as a power or force, but as God.
In Acts, lying to the Holy Spirit is said to be lying to God.
And Jesus Himself said, “Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Here, “name” is singular. That means three persons, yet one name of one God.
Therefore, the Trinity is not the concept of multiple gods,
but the expression that accepts all these truths that Scripture declares simultaneously.
God is one. The Father is God. Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is God.
When all four of these are acknowledged as they are, the natural conclusion is the Trinity.
In other words, the Trinity is not a human-made philosophy,
but a summarized expression of what the whole Bible testifies.)
People are either indifferent to the Word of God or actively deny the statement,
“I, even I, am the Yehowha, and besides Me there is no Savior.”
Somehow, they try hard to teach the concept that three are one.
“Since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day,
they have forsaken Me and served other gods, so they are doing to you also.” (1 Samuel 8:8)
