You do not find the phrase Trinity in the Bible but looks to originate from the Catholics, but the doctrine of the
Godhead, where Jesus said baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you can find three
distinct Individuals outlined in the Bible. So its up to you what word you want to use. We don't see any harm
in referring to Them as Trinity or Godhead. We cannot fully understand God with our sinful minds using only
25% of our brain. There are so many references to the 3 that make up 1, not only in Matthew 28:19 that we
just quoted, but if you go to 2nd Corinthians 13:13,14 in his conclusion he says, All of the saints salute you.
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you
all. So there you have another example of those three Entities that the Bible speaks of.
When Jesus was baptized is another great example where you can see these three separate Entities. Our
Christ, Son of God, came out of the water at His baptism. The voice of God the Father said, this is My
Beloved Son. Matthew chapter 3. Then the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove. Now you have three
distinct Persons that are making up God.
For there are Three that bear record in Heaven. The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three
are one. 1John 5:7
Now some people get confused and they asked, “these three are one? How can They be three in one?” All
you got to do is remember that in ancient Hebrew, one meant unity.
In Genesis, it tells us God said, “Let Us make man in Our Image.” And later when man sinned, God said,
“man has become like Us.” So you find all the way from Genesis to Revelation the teaching of God being
described as 3.
The Angels say, “Holy, Holy, Holy” for each member of the Godhead there in Isaiah chapter 6.
So now ask yourself: Is the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost the same person? The answer is no and this
is why. Because obviously when Jesus prayed at His baptism to the Father in Heaven, He’s not praying to
Himself. And when the Holy Spirit came down upon Him, you have got three separate personalities doing
three separate things.
Moses put it very well. "Hear Oh Israel, the Lord of God is One." Moses also wrote, "A man leaves his
father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one." Well that oneness in the Bible does not
always mean it’s one numerically. In John 17:11, Jesus prayed that the Apostles might be One, even as He
and the Father are One. One means unity. So that’s one point. Now do you see how in the Hebrew text
"one" doesn't mean a numerical number. It means unity.
Now lets look at the characteristics of God, the Father is all knowing. The Bible tells us that the Spirit is all
knowing. The Spirit knew what was in people. Jesus is all-knowing, He knew what they were thinking, and
God is all-knowing, all-powerful.
Now they are obviously 3 different entities. Jesus while on earth prayed to His Father in heaven. Jesus was
not a ventriloquist. He was talking to His Father, and His Father answered Him. In the gospel of John, the
disciples say, "We heard the Father answer Him."
Jesus always directed His prayers to heaven towards the Father and stated that the Father had His own
individual will.
“Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42
“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Luke 23:46
Then after He died and rose again, He ascended to “the right hand of God” Romans 8:34
This indicates the Father has a separate presence.
In fact, Jesus said that He was not the Father more than 80 times. While always remaining one in purpose
and origin, Jesus and the Father are clearly separate and distinct persons. And on more than one occasion,
the Father spoke to Jesus from heaven. “And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, This is My
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” Matthew 3:17
Either Jesus and the Father are two separate individual persons, or Jesus was an expert ventriloquist.
The Scriptures also teach that only God knows the thoughts of a man’s heart. 1 Kings 8:39
Yet Jesus consistently knew what people were thinking, “for he knew what was in man” John 2:25
“Nathanael said to Him, How do You know me? Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you,
when you were under the fig tree, I saw you” John 1:48
