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.

...olic creed and it's not for the Protestant church. I will ask anybody to show me one Scripture where any person was ever baptized any other way than in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Come and show it to me, and I will put a sign on my back: "a hypocrite, and a false prophet, and a false teacher," and go through the streets. There's no such a thing. Never was anybody baptized that way! It's a Catholic creed, and not a Protestant doctrine. Matthew 28:19, you say, "Jesus said, 'Go ye therefore in all the world, te...

...o such things, there's only one God. And I disagree with the organization of Pentecost that calls the Oneness like your finger is one. That's wrong. Absolutely, it's wrong. Jesus couldn't have been His own Father, and if God is a Man, then Jesus was born sexual desire, and not virgin birth. That settles the whole thing. You see? If He is one like your finger's one, then what? Then He was His own daddy. How could He have been? That's wrong. He had a Father, Jesus did.

Now, the creed says, "I and my Father are three," but the Bible said, and Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." That's wonderful. See how ... God made flesh (Hallelujah!)--- not some second, or third, or fourth person, but God Himself. Jesus said so. Argue with Him, not me. I'm just saying what He said. "I and my Father are one. It's not me that doeth the works, it's my Father. He dwells in me. If you don't believe me, believe the Word, because He is the Word. And the Word was made flesh and I am ... in the beginn...

If Jesus said, "Go baptize in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost," and Father's no name, Son's no name, and Holy Ghost is no name, then what was He talking about?

...dowed a little virgin named Mary, God Jehovah did, and created in her womb a cell, blood cell. That blood cell developed cells, and it brought forth a man, which was Christ Jesus. God Almighty, the Father, dwelt in Him. At the day of the baptism, when He received the Holy Ghost on the day when John baptized Him, John said, "I beheld and saw the Spirit of God like a dove descending from heaven, and a voice saying, 'This is My beloved Son in whom I'm pleased to dwell in.'" Jesus said that God was with Him, "I and My...
