Do you believe they are not contradictory? Why?
Do you rely on faith to believe they are consistent with each other? Is that an excuse or a reason?
Inquiring minds want to know! Leave your answers below, eh.
Here are some things to consider.
God said you shall have no gods before me, and Israel was not taught there was a trinity but always believed there was only one God the Father.
Why did God allow the Israelites to believe there was only one God, and not a trinity.
The Bible says hear O' Israel the LORD our God is one LORD.
The New Testament says but to us there is but one God the Father, and there is one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Why does the New Testament only refer to the Father as God.
Why was Jesus conceived by the Holy Spirit the 3rd person of the trinity, and not God the Son if there is a trinity.
Jesus said baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which that name is Jesus.
Jesus said He comes in the name of the Father, and the Son inherited the name from the Father, and the Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus.
So it appears that Jesus is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and those are not names but titles.
Also in the book of Acts Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans were all baptized in the name of Jesus.
Is there a trinity or is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit the 3 relationships God has with His children designated by titles.
In the Old Testament Adam was created in God's image.
In the New Testament Adam was made in the similitude of Christ.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, which means God already had the plan to come in the future in flesh before He created Adam, and created Adam in the image He would show up in the future which is an innocent nature in flesh.
So the let us make man in our image has to include the man Christ Jesus for He is part of that image.
So is this speaking of a trinity or God the Father, and the man Christ Jesus.
Jesus is at the right hand of God.
God's right hand represents power, wisdom, and salvation.
Jesus said all power has been given me in heaven and earth.
There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
There is one throne in heaven and one who sits on that throne.
Which is the throne of God and the Lamb, God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.
David said the LORD said unto my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.
Which the Son must reign until all His enemies are conquered, and then the Son shall submit to the Father that God may be all in all.
So the Father exalted the man Christ Jesus to be at His right hand, exercise the throne of power, until His enemies are conquered, and then the Son shall submit to the Father, stop being at the right hand, stop exercising the throne of power, that God may be all in all.
So Jesus at the right hand is a temporary role, and since there is only one throne in heaven, and one who sits on that throne, then Jesus is the only person that we will see in heaven.
Which Jesus told Philip that if he had seen Him then He has seen the Father, and it is the Father that dwells in Him that does the works.
Is there a trinity which I believe there is not a trinity.
They say there is 3 persons in one God, and then they say God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, which then they are saying there is 3 Gods.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me which they had better think upon that greatly if they believe in a trinity.
