I suggest you read the following scriptures. Whether you want to try to understand them is up to you. It is hard for many people to comprehend the Trinity where each (Father, Son and Spirit) is a part of the whole yet separate? I hope this helps. Oh, one other item. The categories and verses below are only but a few of the 29 categories that show the Trinity in its whole and in it individualism. You see the OT and NT is designed by GOD himself with 66 books that are inspirationally and divinely written by 66 authors over 2500 years ago. Like I stated before, If you have a problem with Genesis 1,1 then you have bigger problems than worrying about the meaning of the Trinity.

The Trinity :

Notice the plurals: "us"; "our" ...Geb 1:26, 3:22, 11:7, Isa 6:8
-Elohim (680 times) throughout the Bible
Singularity of OT ......Deut 6:4-5, Ex 20:3
Plurality of NT.... Mt 28:19, 2 Cor 13:14, John 14:17
Exchanges among the Godhead.....Gen 3:22, 11:7, ISA 6:8, 48:12,13,16, Ps 2:7, 45:7, 110:1, Matt 11:27, John 8:42, John 17:24

Creation of the Universe:
Father : Psalm 102:25,
Son: Col 1:16, John 1:1-3,
Spirit: Gen 1:2, Job 26:13, ALL THREE: Gen 1:1

Creation Of Man:
Father: Gen 2:7,
Son Col 1:16,
Spirit:Job 33:4,
[Plurals: Ecc 12:1, Isa 54:5]

The Incarnation:
Father: Hebrews 10:5,
Son Phil 2:7,
Spirit Luke 1:35

The Death of Christ:
Father: Psalm 22:15, Romans 8:32, John 10:18:
Son: John 10,18, Galations 2:20,
Spirit: Hebrews 9:14

The Resurrection of Christ:
Father: Acts 2:24, Romans 6:4:
Son: John 10:17-18, John 2:19:
Spirit: 1 Peter 3;18, Romans 8:11

The Resurrection of All Mankind:
Father: John 5:21,
Son: John 5:21,
Spirit: Romans 8:11

The Inspiration of the Scriptures:
Father: 2 Timothy 3:16,
Son: 1 Peter 1:10-11,
Spirit 2 Peter 1:21

Jesus Christ:
Made in the Likeness of Men: Phil 2:7, Heb 10:5, Luke 1:35
Is the image of God: Heb 1:3, Col 1:15, 2 Cor 4:4
Anticipated Redemption: 1 Pet 1:20, Rev 17:8, 2 Tim 1:9

I don't really think you understand? If it was written down by any of the 40+ authors , then it was divinely inspired or given to them directly from God. Therefore, it is teaching the Trinity although it never actually uses the word.

If the Father is not the Holy Spirit then you have two separate gods?
Your right, it is written in Genesis, "Let us make man in our image after our likeness...."

the Holy Spirit In the Greek text, the 'Spirit' is still translated as NT:4151 pneuma (pnyoo'-mah); a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze;

The Eternal God is invisible Light not air.

I don't have a problem with the Gods of Genesis 1.
I don't have a problem with the LORD God of Genesis 2
I don't have a problem with the LORD of Genesis 4.

But if you don't know the name of the Father,
If you don't know the name of the Son, and
If you don't know the name of the Holy Ghost
then I will aver to John 5:25 and give you the floor.

The link you provide DOES NOT prove the doctrine of the Trinity. Because The Bible teaches that God is the Holy Spirit AND Father of Jesus Christ. Review the Biblical description of God in the following:

May I ask a Question,,,,,, IF you are a Christian and have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, DO you consider yourself three people or one?

Not trying to be funny but the trinity of man (if you are in Christ) is real. (Body, Soul and Holy Spirit)! I guess for those that do not believe in Jesus Christ, are they considered a duce or something (only a Body and Soul)? Sad but true.

Have a Blessed Day!

Son = Jesus Christ
Spirit = Holy Ghost


"then I will aver to John 5:25 and give you the floor."
missed the translation here

It is written from the beginning of the Gospel, in Matthew 1:1

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

"For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, ...."
John 6:64


What you are referring to is Jesus human genealogy, where in Mt., it is through Joseph while in Lk., it is through Mary. The Father of Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit as recorded in Mt.1:20 and in Lk.1:35.

Zmouth, I think you are looking at it from the wrong end. Let me put it like this.

We as Man can only see what is in the past and the present. Not the future. ...................,<X......................... We can not go back to the past nor do we know what will happen in the next billionths of a sec in front of us.

God can see past, present and future. X>...........................<X, The beginning and the end. He can move to and fro.

The Holy Bible is a divinely, inspired, designed book that was written over 2000 years, by 44 authors and has 66 books which has some 1800 prophecies were most have come true and others are yet to be. It takes us from the beginning of time to the end of mankind on earth (as we know it).

As in Revelations, we know more about the second coming of Jesus then we do about the time that He (Jesus) walked the earth, was crucified, buried, resurrected and ascended to heaven. Yes, we know almost to the day when he will return with the army of heaven to totally destroy those armies that have foolishly decide to go against Him (Armageddon). Yes, the Bible tells us this.

The time of the rapture (LAT) or harpotzo (greek for Hebrew interp.) is hid from us directly. Yes, we will know the season and those people looking for it will be taken into the clouds while those who were not watching for it will be left behind. (like a thief in the night). It is also true, nothing else (prophecy) has to happen for the harpotzo to happen. However, on the other hand, it tells us that the holy spirit on the earth (us who believe in Jesus Christ Gospel)have to be gone, before the anti-christ (pseudo-christ) can come onto the scene. Yes, I am sure Satan has someone (Nimrod) in the wings (ready at a moments notice) but like us, he has to wait until the Holy Spirit of God is gone.

Other Prophecies like the Destruction of Damascus, The Middle east war, The distribution of Iranian people throughout the land probably caused by a war of some sort in Iran and of Course the MayGod war are on the horizon . How far away I do not know but can look at today news stories and determine that it looks to be nearer than one might think?

The bottom line, Zmouth, IF you do not truly believe in Jesus Christ at the time the rapture takes place, you will be left behind. Your Choice. Choose well my friend.


Have a blessed day!

If your talking about man then there are only two parts of the whole when Jesus Christ has been rejected. (the Body and a eternal Soul)

When Jesus Christ is part of the individual the Holy Spirit becomes the third and most important part of the individual.

If your talking about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (The Trinity) then look to prior post from a lot of people who got it all right.

have a blessed day
