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.

QUESTION: "Why do you baptize in the name of Jesus Christ in place of the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?" Well, there is no such a thing as the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. That's the reason. There was nobody in the Bible ever baptized in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Every person in the Bible, or three hundred years this side the Bible, was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Not one apostle, not one Christian, not one time was the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ever used for baptism un...

...at? That was God, the Son. You believe that? The same God. "My Father and I are One. My Father dwelleth in Me. It is not Me that doeth the works, it is My Father." That was Jesus talking about His Father, the same God revealed down here in a body of flesh who hung in a pillar of fire.

...We love one another. He's my Father; I'm his son! Not three gods; the same God that created me, and loved me and gave Himself for me, is the God that's in me. His name was Jesus Christ when He was on earth. "There's not another name under heaven given among men whereby you must be saved." Now, if it hurts my friends, I can't help it. I'd rather hurt my friend than hurt my Father. See? He's my relative, my Father, God. That's what His Word says.

...ed years after the death of the last disciple. The "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" was adapted at the same time, because Catholic people worship different gods. And they made the trinity of the offices of God. Not three gods "Father, Son, Holy Ghost." That's pagan. There's one God. "Thou shalt not have no other gods before Me. Hear you, O Israel, I'm the Lord your God, one God." The Jew asked us, "Which is your God: the Father, Son, or Holy Ghost?" There's just one of them. It's three offices that the same God has worked...
