1 Part 1 BIBLE Dr JUBIL THOMAS, SOLID ROCK CHURCH DROGHEDSA IRELAND

2 Christian Faith Doctrine of Trinity under attack Islam: Accusation of worshipping 3 gods Father /Son/ Virgin Mary Jehovah s witnesses: Accusation : us of being Heretics Feminism : Huge attack

3 Feministic Theology John 19 v 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

4 Church has Least defended Least preached

5 For Clarity Fortifies faith Trinity word not in the bible accusation as invented First sessions we will see how this doctrine grew out Early centuries of Church and how they developed Trinity

6 BIBLE Starting might be complex By the end of this session rejoicing Trinity is not for arguing

7 Bible : Layout Jewish scriptures Most nations then had many gods but Jews believed in One God- Monotheism From Abraham onwards They knew his name ; JHVH J = Y Hebrew YAHWEH = Jehovah ( British )

8 Heart of the Jewish Scriptures Deuteronomy 6 v 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. KNOW :wherever The word LORD It is substituted for JHVH=YAHWEH Jews would never say JHVH hence Hear, O Israel: The YAHWEH our God, the YAHWEH is one

9 The Word : ONE in Hebrew Deuteronomy 6 v 4 :Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one Hebrew : There Two words for ONE ONE means Singular- one person There is another Hebrew word called echadh ( said as aheed ) The Hebrew Word for 'One' (`echadh - (אחד and the Uniqueness of God echad means many but united as one in harmony in mind and thought Hebrew manuscript originally staes echad for ONE GOD

10 Hebrew Faith therefore Thus believes in one harmonious god Extremely important point

11 Illustration of the Hebrew word for one echad Married couple Genesis 2 v 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one ( Hebrew echad ) flesh.

12 Careful look again : One and Only GOD One and the ONLY GOD Isaiah 45 v 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.

13 Yahweh : One ( echad) and the Only God Yet Hints of the plural harmony in OT as against Just hints Many Jews havent noticed Those who noticed are perplerxed

14 OT Hints of plurality 1. God talks to himself as US- right from the beginning in Genesis Genesis 2 v 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. Gen 11 : Babel tower v 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

15 OT HINTS of Plural harmony Isaiah 6 v 8 : Isaiah s Vision Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

16 OT HINTS : Plural Harmony 2. The word translated for GOD in HEBREW ELOHIM Plural word EL means one god ELOHA- means two Elohim means three Puzzled the Jews

17 OT HINTS : ELOHIM Genesis 1New International Version (NIV) : the original Hebrew Manuscript The Beginning 1 In the beginning God ( ELOHIM = 3 ) created the heavens and the earth.

18 OT HINTS : Very amazing 3. Yahweh ( LORD ) appears to Abraham Genesis 18 King James Version (KJV) 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, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

19 OT leaves us with two questions about two people 1. Messiah? Meaning Christ in Greek Right through OT all the way through Are they expecting a human or divine Messiah? Some passages state Human and some Divine ONLY NT : Christ is both human and divine Jews still argue on this

20 OT leaves us with two questions about two people 2. Holy Spirit? A thing or a person it or he? Some passages : thing / Others state about grieving the Holy Spirit Cannot grieve a thing but a person Yet they all point to NT Where its answered OT preparation for trinity For eyes to see

21 NEW TESTAMENT Is Strong as the OT: States that GOD is one 5 authors quote Deu 6 v 4 Jesus Himself said Mark 12 v 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: I John 5 v 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

22 Yet : gets a bit complicated That Disciples now met Jesus!!!!! At First disciples couldn t really make out who he was Gospel faithfully show their perplexity Example : Storm stilled what kind of a man is he Two and half years to be revealed

23 Perplexed Peter

24 Perplexity Of 5 Loves and 2 fishes

25 Perplexity of Disciples Jesus Calming the Storm

26 Emmaus Road Perplexity

27 Look into Synoptic gospels SYN : Together Optic : See First 3 gospels are synoptic Faithful to record that for first two and half years the disciples were perplexed Though Jesus raised the dead, healed the sick casting out the demons

28 DEMONS knew who Jesus was But Jesus shut them up Fallen angels they are Jesus wished that the disciples themselvs figure out who he is Was waiting for the disciples to say Jesus took them to Caesarea Philippi where the origin of River Jordan

29 Caesarea Philippi : Mark Greek God Pan appeared as a man in Mythology Another Caesar statue and hence called Caesarea Philippi People considered Caeser as god Jesus took the disciples to this place as the disciples fully knew this Then Jesus Asks the disciples who do people say I am and then asks further Who am I? Peter jumped out saying you re the son of God Immediately Jesus says he can now die

30 About Jesus Long time Disciples new not : Birth, Boyhood,Baptism Mary didn t share it All three events had Father s Role He taught to call God as FATHER- Abba - Intimate prayer life No Jew would ever do that

31 About Jesus s life: Boyhood- BarMitzvah Heavenly father throughout Boyhood : Lost in Father s house by Parents

32 About Jesus s life : Baptism Baptism : Father Son Holyspirit in Action He taught us to say our father He himself addressed as My Father because he was THE SON John 10 v 30 I and my Father are one.

33 Caesarea Phillipi Revelation of Jesus to Disciples: Mathew When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests Jacobs Fleettech and scribes, Computers, and Puthuppally be killed, and be raised again the third day.

34 FIRST WOMAN TO KNOW WHO JESUS WAS? JOHN 11 V 27 Yes, Lord," she replied, "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world. MARTHA

35 Jesus s Trial Religious Trial Charge : Condemned to Death For Blasphemy For saying The Son of God Lk 22 v 70 Political Trial Charge : Blasphemous charge converted to Treason KING OF THE JEWS Lk 23 v 3

36 Look at the CROSS of Calvary

37 Disciples convinced : Jesus is The Son OF GOD Jesus the son of God and his relationship with the father Yet to settle it for themselves forever Resurrection God s Reversal of HUMAN wrong VERDICT and proved The SONSHIP not Blasphemous

38 Disciples convinced : Jesus is The Son OF GOD Romans 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

39 JOHN S Gospel : LOGOS LOGOS : The reason why Biology, Zoology, Meteorology ( Weather ) Psychology Sociology The Reason why things happen is the move HE is THE REASON WHY : JOHN 1 v 1 JESUS is GOD

40 JOHN S Gospel : LOGOS 3 sevens 7 miracles 7 claims 7 witnesses

41 John s Gospel : 7 Miracles 5 not in the Synoptic gospels Are more divine and are called SIGNS Each miracle : SIGN pointing to GOD JOHN 2 v 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

42 John s Gospel : 7 witnesses and Claims about Jesus the son of God and Messiah 7 Witnesses : Who called Jesus God John 1 v 1, ending with Thomas My Lord my God a Jewish person! Jesus 7 Claims : The Great Iam Yahweh Iam meaning Yahweh is the bread of Life, Good Shepherd The way the truth and the Life

43 Thomas s Witness of Jesus Christ as God

44 John s Gospel ends John 21 v 24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

45 The Jewish Problem- The disciples! Jews : Knew the God who brought them through the Red sea Now they met Jesus who is God too Its only Binitarian However they also met the Holy Spirit who is also the same as God the son God the Father

46 The Holy Spirit! OT Enigma thing or a person? Allegories : wind, water Jesus calls The Holy Spirit as HE John 16 v 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

47 HOLY SPIRIT : FROM ETERNITY TO ETERNITY LUKE 1 V 34 Mary said to the angel, How will this be, since I am a virgin and have no intimacy with any man? 35 Then the angel replied to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a cloud]; for that reason the holy (pure, sinless) Child shall be called the Son of God.

48 JESUS S BAPTISM

49 JESUS TEMPTED: LED AND KEPT BY HOLY SPIRIT

50 The Holy Spirit : Greek Manuscript NT Another Comforter Two terminology for ANOTHER- ANOTHER / ANOTHER LIKE Its ANOTHER LIKE which is used meaning Just like ME ( Jesus ) so the Personality of The Holy Spiritjust like Jesus Couldn t come without the Ascension of Jesus

51 Hence 3 persons Yet same God that they knew from the beginning Same attitude, same care same comforter Yet now just one GOD The THREE IN ONE GOD

52 NT : Apostles & Epistles They are Clear about one GOD Deu 6 v 4 confirms Divinity of Jesus John 1 v 1, Titus 2 v Acknowledges the three functions of the OT God has : Creation, Salvation, Judgement Only God does this and the epistles attribute these to Jesus in the NT hence his divinity confirmed I Corinthians 8 v 4 In this matter, then, of eating food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world [it has no real existence], and that there is no God but one JUDE 25

53 NT : Apostles & Epistles All take OT concepts of God First and the last Isa 44 v 6 & Apply it to Jesus Rev 1v 8, 22 v 16 At least 10 attributes of God the father in OT applied to Jesus in the NT All acknowledged the personality of the Holy Spirit they talk about 3

54 NT : Apostles & Epistles Asserts TRIUNE GOD Ephesians 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.

55 NT : Apostles & Epistles Asserts TRIUNE GOD I Corinthians 12 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.

56 NT : Apostles & Epistles Asserts TRIUNE GOD 2 Corinthians The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. King James Version (KJV) Asserting the experience of the disciples Father Son Holy Spirit in equality Use To Bless people Worshipped the Father The son and the Holy Spirit

57 NT : Apostles & Epistles Asserts TRIUNE GOD No mention of the word TRINITY But thinking God in three persons Heart of the Doctrine

58 Part 2 Attack : Message & Messenger Defending Practical implications Of Rejoicing and not a Burden

59

The Trinity. Is the Tri-unity of the three Person God-head a real biblical doctrine?

The Trinity. Is the Tri-unity of the three Person God-head a real biblical doctrine? The Trinity Is the Tri-unity of the three Person God-head a real biblical doctrine? Do we worship three Gods or one Three-Person God? One of the elements of the biblical doctrine of God is the trinity.
