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.

We're going to have to give an account of what we have done with Jesus Christ. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."] And Who is Jesus Christ? The Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." God, working in three dispensations, that's the reason He spoke about calling Him "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." See? Not three different Gods. That's where you get mixed up. It...

Oh, poor, blinded trinitarian people! Why the word trinity don't even appear in the Bible, not from Genesis to Revelation. There's no such a thing. It's not three gods; it's three offices of one God. God the Father in a pillar of fire, God the Son made manifest in flesh to take away sin, and God the Holy Ghost in us now here. Sure. Sure. "I'll be with you, even in you," see. It's not three gods; it's one God. Now look. You're going to have to admit that the Holy Ghost is his father. Is that right? Is the Holy Ghost...

...then a poor Jew comes around and say, "Which one of them is your God?" Which one is? The Father, Son, or Holy Ghost?" They're, all three, one. The Bible said they were one. Jesus was a house that God lived in, the Bible said that, I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy" (that's argument) " great is the mystery of godliness. For God was manifested in the flesh, seen of angels, received on ... preached, believed on, and received up into glory." God was! The Bible said, "His name shall be called Emmanuel," which is by i...

Jesus claimed that He done nothing until the Father showed Him, and the Father is the Holy Spirit, we realize that. It's just an office of God. If it isn't, then which one of them is the Father of Jesus Christ? Jesus said God was his Father, and the Bible said the Holy Ghost was his Father. Now, you can't make Him be an illegitimate child; so the Holy Ghost is God. So was Jesus God. So God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; that's three offices of one God. It's three attributes; the same God. You're a part of God, and I...
