God is ONE 1/AV
Deuteronomy 6:4
4. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:
Deuteronomy 32:17
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom
they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your
fathers feared not.
2 Samuel 7:22
22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for [there is]
none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee,
according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Isaiah 43:10
10 Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant
whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and
understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God
formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isaiah 44:6
6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer
the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last;
and beside me [there is] no God.
Isaiah 44:8
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee
from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my
witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God;
I know not [any].
Isaiah 45:5
5. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no
God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from
the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD,
and [there is] none else.
Isaiah 45:21
21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take
counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time?
[who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD?
and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a
Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
# Tit 2.13 2Pe 1.1
There is NO other Saviour besides God. In the passages
God is ONE 2/AV
cited above, Christ is referred to as Saviour; a direct
implication of His divinity in the NT.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the
earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.
Isaiah 46:9
9 Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and
[there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like
me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient
times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My
counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Galatians 4:8
8. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto
them which by nature are no gods.
Hebrews 6:13
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could
swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
===========================================================
God is TRIUNE 1/AV
Genesis 1:26
26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:" The two
"ours" here can only be speaking of Angels and God, OR the
triune Godhead alone.
Since man was made a little lower than the Angels (Ps 8.4-5)
as was the form of flesh Christ occupied (Hebrews 2.7), then
God could not be indicating he made man after the
"image" and "likeness" of angels.
Further, "let us make man" could not include angels, because
they are not creative beings. God is the only Creator.
Therefore, the "us" must speak only of God as a Creator of
man in His "image" and "likeness".
Genesis 11:7
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Psalms 110:1
1. A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou
at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
# Mt 22.44 Lu 20.42 Act 2.34
Isaiah 48:16
16. Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken
in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was,
there [am] I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath
sent me.
Matthew 22:44
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
# Ps 110.1
God is TRIUNE 2/AV
Matthew 28:19
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:
Notice "name", not names. The singular use of name for the
authority of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit alludes to
unity of essence and nature.
Luke 1:35
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy
Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Luke 20:42
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
# Ps 110.1
Acts 2:34
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he
saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand,
# Ps 110.1
Romans 15:30
30. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus
Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye
strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me;
1 Corinthians 12:4
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the
same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the
same God which worketh all in all.
God is TRIUNE 3/AV
2 Corinthians 13:14
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of
God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, [be] with you all.
Amen.
Galatians 4:6
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit
of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
# 1co 6.19
God has sent the Spirit of his Son to dwell in the same
place which is earlier called the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 4:4
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and
through all, and in you all.
# 1co 6.19 Gal 4.6
Previously, both the Spirit of the Son and the Holy Spirit
are said to reside in the believer.
Hebrews 9:14
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God?
The "eternal" Spirit. The Holy Spirit is eternal, and
therefore must be divine.
1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.
===========================================================
God the Son 1/AV
Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name
shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
# is 10.21
The term "mighty God" is used of Christ here in Is 9.6 as
well as Is 10.21 which is a direct reference to Jehovah.
Both hebrew words are "El Gibbor"
John 1:1
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
John 1:3
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
# he 3.4
God/Christ are creator.
John 1:14
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:18
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten
Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
[him].
Most mss. read "only begotten God".
John 1:23
23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the
prophet Esaias.
All mss say "way of our God".
God the Son 2/AV
John 5:18
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.
# Joh 19.7
JW's will say this is John quoting the Jews'
misunderstanding of what Jesus was claiming to be.
Rather, John is saying that he is an eyewitness account that
Christ made these claims directly. Diagramming the sentence
in Greek, or English, brings this out.
John 5:23
23 That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they
honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth
not the Father which hath sent him.
John 8:58
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.
# ex 3.14 de 32.39
"I am", "Ego eimi"
If Jesus was only pointing to the fact that he was before
abraham, he would have said "Ego en", which means "I was".
Instead, he is alluding Ex 3.14 and the Greek Septuagint,
which says "Ho on", which is from the same verb "to be".
John 10:30
30 I and [my] Father are one.
The word for "one" in Greek is neuter and is "hen". The
masculine would be "heis". The neuter indicates oneness of
essence. The masculine, oneness of person.
John 14:14
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
Most mss say "ask me any thing in my name,...".
God the Son 3/AV
John 17:5
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self
with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
# is 42.8
John 18:5
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto
them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood
with them.
"He" is not in the text. Christ is indicating that he is
the great "I am".
John 19:7
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
John 20:28
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my
God.
"Ho Kyrios mou kai ho theos mou."
"The Lord of me and the God of me."
Jesus surely would have rebuked him for this. But rather
encourages the response as valid.
1 Corinthians 12:3
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking
by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no
man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
"Lord", "Kyrios".
Kyrios is the Greek rendering of the tetragrammaton.
Philippians 2:10
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
[things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things]
under the earth;
God the Son 4/AV
Colossians 1:15
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of
every creature:
"firstborn" = "prototokos" here means "preeminent one".
Compare Ge 41.51-52. with Jer 31.9
In Ge 41.51 the "firstborn" is Manasseh. In vs 52 the
second born is Ephraim. Jer 31.9 calls Ephraim "my
firstborn".
Ephraim, although second born, was called firstborn in the
sense of having preeminence.
If Paul would have meant that Jesus was the first one
created he would have use the word "protoktisis", meaning
first one created.
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they
be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all
things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.
Colossians 1:19
19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all
fullness dwell;
"fullness"
Vine's calls this fullness "God, the completeness of his being".
Vine's Expository Dictionary, Vol II, pg. 136.
Colossians 2:9
9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead
bodily.
"For in him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily
form". (NASB)
JW's mistranslate this to mean "divine quality" rather than
a direct reference to the nature of God in Christ. For
definition of the word Godhead, see Vine's Expository Dict.,
Vol I, pg 328.
God the Son 5/AV
Titus 2:13
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
# 2pe 1.1 Is 45.21
Same word construction found in 2pe 1.1.
The word "our" is not justified in the Greek as is mistakenly
found here in the KJV.
"...the great God and Savior Jesus Christ."
"Meg alou theou kai Soteros hemon christou iesou."
Is 45.21 There is NO other Saviour besides God.
Hebrews 1:3
3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of
his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down
on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
"person" mistranslation.. s/b "substance".
No creation is the exact image of God's person (substance).
"'Image' is from the word 'charakter' which denotes a tool
for graving, then a stamp or impress as on a coin or a seal,
in which case the seal or die which makes an impression
bears the image produced by it, and visa versa. All the
features of the image correspond respectively with those of
the instrument producing it." Vine's Expository Dict., Vol
II, pg 247.
Hebrews 1:6
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into
the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship
him.

Hebrews 1:8
8 But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for
ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre
of thy kingdom.
# ps 45.6
Hebrews 1:10
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of
thine hands:
# ps 102.25
Lord here is Kyrios, which is the Greek word of the Old
Testament tetragrammaton.
Hebrews 1:12
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they
shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall
not fail.
# mal 3.6
Only God is immutable.
Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever.
# he 1.12
Only God is immutable.
Revelation 1:17
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he
laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am
the first and the last:
# is 44.6
Is 44.6 says "I am the first and I am the last and there is
no God besides me."
18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of
God the Son 7/AV
death.
Revelation 17:14
14. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and
faithful.
# de 10.17

God the Holy Spirit 1/AV
Matthew 12:31
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy
[against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Only blasphemy against God could incur such an absolute lack
of opportunity for forgiveness. The Holy Spirit holds
special office as the convictor of mens' souls.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the
Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this
world, neither in the [world] to come.
Luke 1:35
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy
Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
John 14:16
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
"Another" in Greek denotes another of the same (Allos), as
opposed to another of a different kind (Heteros). Vine's
Expository Dict., Vol I.
Acts 5:3
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine
heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of
the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it
was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou
conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto
men, but unto God.
Lying to the Holy Spirit was equivalent to lying to God (see
prior verse).
God the Holy Spirit 2/AV
1 Corinthians 6:19
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye
are not your own?
# 1co 3.16
1Co 3.16 calls the body temple of God. This is the same
body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit in this passage.
1 Corinthians 12:7
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every
man to profit withal.
God can only give spiritual gifts.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to
another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another
prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another
[divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of
tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man severally as he will.
2 Corinthians 3:17
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of
the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
The Lord (Kyrios) is called "Spirit" and the Spirit is called
"Kyrios".
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Hebrews 9:14
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God?
The "eternal" Spirit. The Holy Spirit is eternal, and
therefore must be divine.
