Some people believe in a trinity, and some believe in one God with no distinction of persons.
The Bible says there is one God, so they cannot escape that.
But they say there is 3 persons in one God, but then they say God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, in which they are saying there is 3 Gods.
So is there 3 persons in one God, or is there 3 Gods, for if they say all 3 persons is God then they are saying 3 Gods, and it would go against the Bible that there is one God, and if they say there is 3 persons in one God then it would take all 3 persons to make one God, which then no member of the trinity could be God alone if it takes all 3 persons to be one God, so each one of them is not entirely God without the other 2 persons.
But then falsehood will have it's obvious contradictions.
2Ch 6:18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
2Ch 7:16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
Isa 44:8 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.
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
God is an omnipresent Spirit that occupies all space.
They say that all 3 persons are co-equal, but how can all 3 persons be an omnipresent Spirit for they would overlap each other.
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things.
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The Bible only attributes the Father as being God, for there is only one God who created all things.
1Ti 3:16 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.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
The Son shall be called the everlasting Father, for there is only one God the Father, and Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.
Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
That is why Jesus said if you have seen Me then you have seen the Father, for He is God manifest in the flesh, and there is only one God, the Father.
Joh 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Joh 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Jesus told the disciples when He resurrects to heaven that they are not to ask Him anything, but only ask the Father and He will do it.
Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
But in another passage of scripture Jesus said ask Him, and He will do it.
Jesus said only ask the Father, and He will do it, but Jesus said ask Him, and He will do it.
That is because there is only one God the Father, and Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.
The disciples were not to ask the man Christ Jesus anything when He resurrects to heaven, for they dealt with Him on earth, but to ask Jesus as God, and He will do it.
Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Jesus is the Spirit.
Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh.
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
There is only one God who is a Holy Spirit, and Father is a title for God, and the Son is the man Christ Jesus.
Not 3 persons in one God, but the three relationships God has with His people designated by titles.
Father- parent of the saints.
Son- God visible relationship to the saints.
Holy Spirit- God's invisible relationship to the saints.
But the same God with no distinction of persons.
