Is Jesus the Trinity?
1) Direct Answer
No. Jesus is not “the Trinity.” The Bible never teaches three divine persons. Jesus is the one true God manifested in flesh; in Him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD (Deuteronomy 6:4).
- God was manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16).
- In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9).
- He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father… the Father that dwelleth in Me (John 14:9-10).
- I and My Father are one (John 10:30).
- His name shall be called… The mighty God, The everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6).
- God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).
- They shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us (Matthew 1:23).
- The Comforter… even the Spirit of truth… I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you (John 14:17-18).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- It’s not three Gods, and it’s not three persons. One God revealed Himself in different ways: as Father above us, in the Son with us, and as the Holy Spirit in us.
- The “Son” speaks of the body born of a virgin—the beginning of God’s manifestation in flesh. The indwelling in that body was the Father. The Holy Spirit is that same one God coming back to indwell believers.
- So Jesus is not a “Trinity.” He is the full revelation of the one God. All that the Father is, and all that the Holy Spirit is, was in Jesus Christ.
- Notice the Scripture says “the name” (singular) in Matthew 28:19, and the apostles used that Name in baptism (Acts 2:38). The one Name that reveals Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is the Lord Jesus Christ. That shows oneness, not three persons.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Show one verse that says “three persons in the Godhead.” It isn’t there. But the Bible plainly says God was manifested in Christ, and in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. That’s the mystery—one God made known in Jesus Christ.

...on the inside of that ring; that's two. Then, I'm going to make a ring on the inside of that ring; that's three rings, three circles. Now, that's you. That's God. God in a trinity is one, and without a trinity He's not God. He can't be manifested any other way. And neither can you be manifested without being the trinity person that you are. That's body, spirit, soul. Without either one of them, you're not complete, see. If you didn't have a soul, you'd be nothing. If you didn't have a spirit, you would be nothing....

...od and beholding His glory in a Scriptural study. But He is not to be known intellectually. He is known Spiritually; by Spiritual revelation. This same One Who was known as Jesus after the flesh went back to the pillar of fire. But He promised He would come again and dwell amongst His people by the Spirit. And on the day of Pentecost that pillar of fire came down and it separated itself in tongues of fire upon each one of them. What was God doing? He was separating Himself into the church, giving all those men and...

There is where the oneness missed it. There is where the trinity missed it---both sides of the road---but the happy medium is right in between. If God could be His own father, if Jesus was His own father---He couldn't be. And if He had another father besides God, and the Bible said the Holy Ghost was His father, and if they're two different spirits, He was an illegitimate child. That's right. Which was the father of Him, God or the Holy Ghost? You say one, and watch how embarrassed you're going to get. God was His...

Now then, we can see that JESUS IS THE DOOR. He is the door of the sheep. And notice that it speaks now of the DOOR OPENING. What is that but a revelation of Him? And that Revelation is opening up to bring us Strength, to illuminate the Word and glorify His Name. It was in the midst of the two last ages that the Revelation of the Deity of Jesus Christ blossomed out before us. Yes, we knew He was God. How else could He be our Saviour? But to know that He was ONLY GOD, OR GOD ALONE, that He was the Alpha and the Omeg...
