If someone asked you how you know there is a trinity, what scriptures would you use to prove it?

Maybe???...

Heb. 1:8 --God the Father called the Son God.
John. 1:1 --Jesus (the Word) is called God.
1 Tim. 3:16 --Paul said Jesus was God manifested in the flesh.
Titus 2:13 --Paul called Jesus The Great God.

MT 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

John 8:57   Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58   Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59   Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

    Here Jesus claims to be the "I AM" ,that is why yhe Jews took up stones to stone Him it cross refrences to

Exodus 3
14And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you!

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Mat 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

1Ti 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1Pe 1:2  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

There are a whole number of verses that taken together as a group would signify this, but I'll leave that for someone else.

Gracey

1 John 5:7.  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

The Bible does not mention a trinity as such. Trinity is an applied word of man to signify the Father God, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, as one.

It does mention three that bear record in heaven.

It also mentions three that bare witness in earth

 1 John 5:8.  And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

This one is excellent! Thanks, I had forgotten.


This one I had remembered in "essence" but couldn't remember the wording or where it was....If I had I'd have found the first one!


Good job.

Genesis 1:2.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit,one, of God,two, moved upon the face of the waters.
 3.  And God said,,three,........

Here as in 1 John 5:7 is revealed the three in one. God, the Spirit of God, and the word.

Hey whitehorse, is this just a random question, or is there some history behind it? ;)

Gen 18:1-2
18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

Sola Scrptura, my friend! ;D

If someone asked you how you know there is a trinity, what scriptures would you use to prove it?


Oh, that's easy, Teach'.   :)


You don't need scripture to "prove" it:


How is it that your dad is a father(which he was), and a son(which he was), and a husband(which he was)--all three at the same time, each with "its" own distinct attributes??

Um.. That doesn’t answer my question… :P ;) ;D

That's because I didn't understand the question, Tib!

Sym, good point.

You sure about that? I did ask it, after all. ;)

Yes, I'm sure. I can't keep up with you, Tib. ;)

Time to move on to the, "MOM QUIZ".

I just had to say it.  ;)

Matthew 3:

16: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus the son, (word)
The Spirit of God
My (God)

Three are one.

New quiz: Prove (scripturally) there is no such thing as "luck." Ready? Go!

You mean no one knows the answer?!?!?!?!?!?

Haha
