The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity

God is OneDeuteronomy 6 [4] Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Genesis 1 [1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [26] Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

John 1 [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was with God in the beginning. [3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. [14] The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. [18] No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

The Three Distinct Persons as Deity

1 Timothy 3 [16] Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

1 Timothy 2 [5] For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Psalm 2 [1]Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? [2] The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One. [7] I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father. [8] Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.“ [10] Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Hebrews 1 [1] In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, [2] but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. [3] The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. [4] So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. [5] For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"? [6] And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." [7] In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire." [6] And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." [7] In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire."

Matthew 3 [16] As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. [17] And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

Matthew 28 [18] Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

John 14 [26] But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

John 15 [26] "When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me."

2 Corinthians 13 [14] May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
