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.

...to make it the fantastic theory that God is like a bunch of grapes; three persons with the same Divinity shared equally by all. But it plainly says here in Revelation that Jesus is "That Which Is", "That Which Was", and "That Which Is to Come". He is the "Alpha and Omega", which means that He is the "A to Z" or THE ALL OF IT. He is everything--the Almighty. He is the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, the Righteous Branch, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. He is God, Almigh...

...and if all believed the doctrine of the oneness of the Godhead. For there are not three persons in that Godhead but ONE. Thus we are NOT born again by the Spirit of Life of Jesus coming in, and then subsequent to that the Holy Spirit coming in to give us power. If that were true, why are we dishonoring the Father by not giving Him a part in our complete salvation, for if salvation is of the Lord and there are three Lords, then HE (Father) must have something to do, too. But surely it can be seen that Jesus made thi...

I Timothy 3:16 says, "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". This is what the Bible says. It doesn't say a thing about a first or second or third person here. It says God was manifest in flesh. One God. That ONE GOD was manifested in flesh. That ought to settle it. God came in a human form. That didn't make Him ANOTHER GOD. HE WAS GOD, THE SAME GO...

They also state, "God, according to the Bible, is not just one person, but He is three persons in one God. That is the great mystery of the Trinity".
