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.

...gh that, back and forth, to show that He was the Word. So you see nature, Word, Son. It's all coming to the same God---actually the same God working in a different channel. Jesus was God manifested in the flesh. He was God the Word. Every one of us believe that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. Jesus is the Son of God---that is the body---and God was the Spirit that dwelt in that tabernacle that He created for Himself, a virgin body, God. That's the reason He said here, "I've been so long with yo...

Jesus come with three titles: Son of man, Son of David, Son of God, all the same person. That ... it's just like the Trinity---Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Not three gods; one person, the three attributes of God. Now, see, just like I am three persons. I am to my wife a husband. I am to my daughter sitting here, daddy. And my grandson sitting there,...

...nd why sayest thou, 'Show us the Father'?" The Bible said that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. Now, God cannot be three people, three gods; neither can Jesus be his own Father in one, see. So, you see, it makes both radically wrong. And now, if you'll just notice, there is no place ... If we've got three gods, we're heathens. Now, we know that. Like the Jew said to me one time when I was talking to him, said, "Which one of them is your god? Which one is your god?

Now, I want to ask you sisters something as you look at me, you brethren. Who was the father of Jesus Christ? God was. Is that right? Was God his father? All right, sir. God is his father, we all agree upon that. I believe with all my heart that God is the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. All right. Now we're going to see if the Bible says that God's his father. Now, Jesus said, "Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost." I'm laying these three record boxes out h...
