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.

...nged to a church that believed in mental healing. They believe that the devil is a thought, and God's a thought, and your thoughts is whatever it is. They deny the deity of Jesus Christ, in this day that when people try to make Jesus just a man. Why, He was more than a man. If He was just a man, we're all lost. He was God, nothing less of God. He was God manifest in the flesh---Jehovah, the Father, dwelling in his Son, reconciling the world to Himself. That's the reason we're commissioned by St. Matthew there, "bap...

Therefore, if any Trinitarian here would just let yourself loose a minute, you can see that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is not three gods; it's three attributes of the same God, see. It's expression---Father. He was... He wanted to be a Father. He was a Father, He was a Son, and He is the Holy Ghost. And the Father and the Holy Ghost is the same Spirit. Don't you see? Do you get it?---not three gods. The devil's told you them things to make an idolater out of you, see. It's one God expressed in three attributes: to...

Now, when Jesus came He wasn't just a man. He wasn't just the third person of the trinity. He was God! He was God Himself! He was Emmanuel! And we are taught in the Bible that we are saved by the blood of God. When God Himself became one of us He changed his ... what He was. He changed his tent. He came down, condescending from glory and became man. Therefore born without sex He created Himself a body, that He lived in Himself---Emmanuel, God represented with us, the Word made flesh among us---and lived with us to...

Well, if Jesus said ... Jesus Christ, the Son of God, which said, "Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," and neither Father, Son, or Holy Ghost is a name, then if it's a puzzle, we'd better go back to the first of the book. Now, let's turn back to the first chapter of Matthew, and we'll start there. It gives the genealogy till it comes down to the eighteenth verse. Now watch; now watch just a minute. This is Father on my right side; this in the middle...

Now, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and do we believe that the Holy Spirit is on earth today? How many believes that? Well, that Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit of God. Is that right? The third Person of the trinity, Jesus Christ. "Yet a little while, the world seeth Me no more, yet you'll see Me, for I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Is that right? Then if He's going to be with us, in us to the end of the world, that makes Him the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is t...
