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.

The unveiling of God
64-0614M §25
Notice, Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New Testament. See? He's the same God, just changing his form. Now, someone said the other day, a Baptist minister out in Tucson, "How can you say that Jesus and God would be the same person?" I said, "Well, it's very easy if you just let your own thinking get away and think the Bible terms of it. They are the selfsame being. God is a Spirit; Jesus is the body that He was veiled in. See?" I said, "Like in my home. To my wife, I am her husband. And I have a young...

Then that theophany was made flesh in the person Christ Jesus. And then all the fullness of the Trinity dwelt in Him, both Father, Son, and Holy Spirit---all in that. And that's the very way we go, plumb back to the original beginning of God. There we are borned again, not of flesh, borned again not of blood, but borned again by the Spirit. And in that eternal Spirit of love and honesty comes down to make its place in us. And then when we die from this life, we go into the body which... If this earthly tabernacle i...

God in His Word. Do you believe it? God in His universe. God in His Word. Now, right quick let's get God in His Son. You believe God was in His Son? He was. He was more than a man.

...ainst it. That's all right. But I tell you if a man came out here and was baptized in the name of the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley, and morning star, and believes Jesus Christ is his Saviour, I'd say, "God bless you, brother. Come on, let's go." That's right. Because if your heart ain't right, you're not right anyhow. Exactly right. Your heart has got to be right.

Then Jesus said, "The things that I do shall you do also." Is that right? "The same things that I do you'll do al ... even greater, for I will go to My Father." Now, He said, "A little while, and the world won't see Me no more." That's the unbeliever, see. The cosmos, the world order. "Will see Me no more, yet you'll see Me," the believer, "for I will be with you even in you to the end of the world."
