It has come to my attention that many people today do not believe in the holy trinity, which is God the Father (Jehovah), God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit; all the same one God.
Whether this statement is true or not can only be determined by the Word of God.
Everything that God created on this earth can also help us to understand God...
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen being understood through what has been made so that men are without excuse" Romans 1:19
Let's think about the chemical compound H2O.
In its liquid form, we know H20 as water.
If we were to take this liquid and freeze it, it becomes a solid called ice.
At this time, when H20 is changed from liquid to solid, does the chemical composition change? Even though the name and the form changes, the chemical composition is still H2O.
Then what about if we were to take the ice and boil it. It turns to a gas state and becomes vapor. Does it change from H2O to H2O2?
No, it remains H2O even though it once again changed its form and name.
In the same way, we can understand God's administration.
According to the Bible, God the Father (Jehovah) came in the flesh as the Son (Jesus) and is also the Holy Spirit (New Name).
Many believe this to be three different entities, however, according to the word of God this is all the same one God.
Let's first confirm that Jesus Christ is Jehovah God.
[ "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The Zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this." ] ISA 9:6
At this time Isaiah the prophet is testifying of something that will take place in the future, we call this a prophecy. In this prophecy, a child/son is going to be a born, but this won't be any ordinary child, he will be given great titles.
This child will be called Mighty God and Everlasting Father.
HMM, in the time of Isaiah, who is his God? Jehovah God.
However, he is stating that this child that will be born will IN FACT be Mighty God, will be Everlasting Father.
Would Isaiah be calling anyone other than Jehovah God Mighty God or Everlasting Father?
If he were referring to anyone other than Jehovah, his book would not even be a part of the Bible.
This prophecy is about the only Mighty God, the only Everlasting Father, Jehovah God, coming as a son/ a child, to be born into this world.
Then how will we know that Jehovah God has come in the flesh? What will be the sign in which we know that Jehovah God has been born as a child? I'm sure many children were born during the time that Isaiah prophesied this up until it was fulfilled.
"He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom.."
This child that will be born, will reign on David's throne. This is the sign in which we will be able to tell when Jehovah God has come in the flesh as a child. Then, lets see the fulfillment of this prophecy.
[ "You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." ] LK 1:31
Here in Luke, Mary is told that she is going to have a child. This Child will be given the name Jesus and he will reign on David's throne.
Who must come as a child/son to reign on David's throne?
According to Isaiah Jehovah God must fulfill this. Then, when Jehovah God came in the flesh as a son, though his role and his name changed, He is still the same one God Almighty.
Referring back to Isa 9:6.
Many believe that Jesus Christ is merely the Son of God. However, this is a misunderstanding of what the Word of God says.
According to Isaiah's prophecy, this child/son will be given the title of Everlasting Father. Though he had to be born as a child, a son, he is still the Everlasting Father. We know this because he came as the one to reign on David's throne. This is the sign in which Jehovah God has come to this earth in the flesh.
Now, Let's see more testimony to confirm that Jesus Christ is Jehovah God.
Apostle Paul walked with Christ and believed and testified to the fact that he was God Almighty in the flesh:
[ "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!" ]
Apostle Paul testified that Jesus Christ was in VERY NATURE, God. No one can be in very nature anyone other than them self. Then what about God? Can anyone other than God be in very nature God? Certainly not. To be in very nature means to be him. He said, even though he was found in appearance as a man, he was merely made in human "likeness". Though he had every characteristic of a man, Apostle Paul testified that Jesus Christ was over ,God.
[ "Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised, Amen!" ] RO 9:5
Apostle Paul stated that even though we can trace the ancestry of Christ, because he was given birth, in the flesh, he is still without a doubt, God over all.
Then let's see according to God's creation work that Jesus is Jehovah God.
[ "This is what the Lord says, your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
I am the Lord, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself." ] ISA 44:24
When else did he say this? If we turn to the New Testament we can see:
[ "For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him." ] COL 1:16
This verse is referring to Jesus Christ yet says by HIM all things were created. However, we know that it is Jehovah God who alone stretched out the heavens and made the earth.
If Jesus were merely the Son of God, the Bible would not say that Jehovah Alone stretched out the heavens and the earth, because the Bible states that Jesus Christ did this. This is because Jesus Christ is in fact, Jehovah God.
"He is the image of the invisible God.." COL 1:15
Before Christ, we could not see God, no one could look at God or else they would die. So what did God do? God came in the flesh and the image that he took was Jesus Christ.
Now let's see according to God's characteristics that Jesus Christ is in fact Jehovah God.
[ "This is what the Lord says - Israel's King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God." ] ISA 44:6
[ "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God.." ] REV 1:8
[ "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.....I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches:" ] REV 22:12-16
Jehovah God said He is the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, apart from him there is no God. As Jesus Christ he also said "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.
If Jesus were not Jehovah God how could he say he is the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. There can be only one beginning and only one end. There can be only one first, and only one last. Therefore, Jesus Christ, according to the Word of God IS in fact, Jehovah God.
Then about the Spirit of GOd, can just anyone have God's Spirit?
[ "For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God." ] 2 COR 2:11
No man can tell another man's thoughts. Only the Spirit within us knows the very thoughts that we have. In this same way, no one can know God's Spirit, except for God. Just as our spirit is our very essence. So God's Spirit, is God's very essence. God is holy. Therefore His Spirit is the Holy Spirit.
Clearly the Bible shows us that the trinity is all the same one God, however, many people try to distort the scriptures due to lack of understanding of Bible Prophecy. Even though you just read many testimonies that confirm that the trinity is all one God, others will try to use verses such as Matthew 27:46, going against the belief that Jesus Christ is in fact Jehovah God.
To those who do not understand Bible prophecy, they may have an argument, however, the Bible does not contradict itself and just as we saw that the Bible testifies to Jesus being Jehovah God, there is always a purpose for the scriptures. In order to understand this verse, one must come to realize the prophecies that Christ had to fulfill while here on this earth, in order to prove that he is Jehovah God.
