One God the Father. One Lord Jesus Christ
God and Lord are titles of authority. God is the highest title of authority over the universe. Lord is the highest title of authority over the earth. God the Father held both titles in the old testament. And He held the title of LORD as all capitol letters. But when He turned over the title to Jesus it is Lord, only capitol is the L. From the new testament now Jesus is the only Lord, and the Father is the only God.
OLD TESTAMENT
Gen 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(NKJ)

Gen 2:3-4
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
(NKJ)

NEW TESTAMENT

1 Cor 8:4-6
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
Eph 4:6
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
1 Cor 12:3
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
I Jn 4:2-3
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
Gal 4:4-5
4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
1 Tim 2:5-6
5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
(NKJ)

Jesus said there is only one God the Father.
John 17:1-3
1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,
2 "as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.
3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
(NKJ)

DEITY-DIVINITY
Deity and divinity is not in the Word of God. So one has to go to the human dictionary for the definition. And even the dictionary has Jesus inferior to God(the Father) but superior to man.

deity 1 a: often cap : divine nature or rank: the essintial nature of a god or of a supreme being: DIVINITY

di-vin-i-ty 1:the quality or state of being divine: nature or essence of God: GODHEAD (the divinity of Jesus) a celestial being inferior to the supreme God but superior to man<one of the subservient divinities>

Now it doesnt say that Jesus is God, what it says is He is second in command, but over every other creature in heaven and on earth.
I got my deffinitions from websters new world dictionary copyright 1993

Trinitarians want you to believe in something that isnt in the Word of God. Trinity isnt in the Word of God. Trinitarians want you to believe that it is to difficult to explain so dont try just believe it. They use all circumstantial verses to prove their point. A circumstantial verse is one that can be taken atleast two different ways. They want you to believe in something that man made up with no proof.

Rom 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
(NKJ)

1Thes 5:21
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
(NKJ)

1Thes 5:21
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
(KJV)

Mark 4:22-23
22 "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.
23 "If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
(NKJ)

The Word wants you to prove what you say or not say it. The Word says there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. Are you a believer in the Word or in man?
 
you said

One God in three persons, Father, Son and Spirit. Nevertheless one Lord.

I said
It doesnt say that anywhere in the Word of God. No one should be claiming anything unless they can prove it.

Matt 7:3-5
3 "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?
5 "Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.
(NKJ)
 
Is the Trinity in the Bible?

Those who do not accept the Trinity doctrine reject it in part because the word "Trinity" is not found in Scripture. Of course, there is no verse that says "God is three Persons" or "God is a Trinity." This is all quite evident and true, strictly speaking, but it proves nothing. There are many words and phrases that Christians use, which are not found in the Bible. For example, the word "Bible" is not found in the Bible.

It is quite informative to what you have brought up Squeakybro

:angel:
 
you said

I said
Have you ever looked on the front of the cover?

So, when I look at my Bible, The True name of the Bible must be "The Catholic Youth Bible"
The New King James or all the other bibles then that are completely false then, as they do not carry the same name as the Bible I have.
Or so by the examples...
And "the cover" is not Inside the book, it is outside... And doubting that such a cover existed when the books were first written...

:angel:
 
Take a good look at what you said. Is that spiritual logic or carnal?
The comparison was on whether or not trinity is in the bible. You used that logic as a comparison. So get back to the subject. Trinity isnt even on the front cover or inside the book. But bible is on the front cover and in other places in the book.
 
The Son and the Father and the Holy Spirit are in the Scriptures.

The Son is equal to the Father.

The Son mediates in heaven, right now, before the Father.
 
you said

The Son is equal to the Father.

I said
That is not what Jesus says or the apostles say.

John 14:28
28 "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
(NKJ)

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
(NKJ)

I went searching for the word 'bible' in the Bible... :o
Couldn't find it...

I know this is a comparison that is off-topic, but I just wanted to point it out... The word 'bible' isn't used in any of the bibles I checked and not all the Book of The Word has the word 'bible' on the cover... But it is still called the Bible and accepted as that.

Anyway, back on topic...

Here is the best passage I can give you... and I will type the footnotes about it in my Bible...

Matthew 28:19
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,"

FootNotes
28, 19:
Therefore: Since universal power belongs to the risin Jesus (18), he gives the eleven a mission that is universal. They are to make disciples of all nations. While all nations is understood by some scholars as referring only to all gentiles, it is probably that it included the Jews as well. Baptizing them: baptism is the means of the entrance into the community of the risen one, the Church. In the name of the Father... holy Spirit: this is perhaps the clearest expression in the New Testament of trinitarian belief. It may hav been the basptismal formula of Matthew's Church, but primarily it designates the effect of baptism, the union of the one baptized with the Father, Son, and holy Spirit.

I said
Well if you didnt find it on the front cover, you might have the wrong books that your checking. Does it say sports illustrated on the front of the book your checking in? Does it say comic book on the front. You might just be looking in the wrong books for it.

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Joh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
:angel:
 
evanman what does it say. Or what did Jesus say. He is the Son of God, not God. You cant be your son, and your son cant be you. And if I send my son to represent me, I would expect the ones that I sent him to to treat him as they would me.
