THE
TRINITARIAN DOCTRINE OF ONE GOD KIND OF BEING, BUT ARE THREE DISTINCT PERSONS IS
BIBLICALLY REVEALED, BY THE LORD JESUS IN THE SEMANTICS AND USAGE OF NUMEROSITY IN ONE
November 9,2015
The right usage of the word one cannot be
semantically and strictly affixed to singular application and in its meaning as a
number. It is preposterous and erroneous predication to define one as a
number that can only be used for singular specification.
To
learn more about the right usage of one
for oneness application, and for identification of kind of being, class, group,
and for amount of monetary valuation; and for plurality of people with one
specific goal: Hence, we must have profound learning of the diversity of appropriation
in the usage of one as a number.
In
the original text of the written word of God in Hebrew, Elohiym in plural form
was translated God in English. The explicit Biblical proof that God (Elohym)
denote plurality is in accordance to the statement of God in the book of Genesis chapter one verse twenty six; and
chapter eleven verses six and seven.
No created being was with God neither angels when He
said, “Let us make man in Our image according
to Our likeness”
Then
God said, “Let us make
man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of
the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creep on the earth.”(Gen. 1:26) NASB
The LORD said, “Behold, they
are one people, and they all have the same language, And this is what they
begun to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for
them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will
not understand one another’s speech.”(Gen.11:6-7)
When He said, “come let us go down and
there confuse their language”; was in the days when the human race greatly
increased. The word “let us”
referred to second person in grammatical expression which can be to more than
one person. These written Holy Scriptures in the book of Genesis had been
written testimony of the LORD JESUS how the creation of man kind in the image
and likeness of them had been created by Him alone as the Redeemer who created
all things(Is. 44:24;45:12).
If
He is just one God in His reality,
He will not say “let us make man in our image
and likeness” a declarative statement for agreement with
more than one co equal in kind of being as God. He will declare instead, I will make man in My own image and
likeness. The word us is a pronoun that refers to more than one
person.
The
original written Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew
language. The Hebrew word “echad”is one
in English, it is a numeral that
denotes being united, alike, some, together. (reference from Strong’s
Hebrew Dictionary of the Bible. “Echad” which had been translated one in English is not for singular
number in appropriate usage, and many written examples are enumerated hereof
from the Holy Scriptures of the Bible: The
Hebrew word “yachid” in English is only that denote singularity
in number.
“For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother
and shall cleave to his wife and they shall become one flesh” (Gen.2:24).
And
the LORD said, “behold they are one people and
they all have the same language. And this is what they begun to do and now
nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them”(Gen.11:6).
“The two dreams of Pharaoh have just one meaning ( Gen.41:25-26) even though
the dreams were two.
“The trumpeters and singers joined in unison as with one voice” (2 Chron. 5:13).
“The wise man’s eyes
are in his head, but the fool walk in darkness. And yet I know that one fate befalls them
both(Eccles.2:14). “Death is one faith of all” (Eccles. 9:2-3).
The
LORD will give His people one heart (Ezek.11:19).
Two
stick, the people of Ephraim and the tribe of Israel and Judah will be one in the hand of the LORD”(Ezek.37:19).
The
original language which was used for the New
Testament is in Greek text, and
the word one in English is “heis or hen” in Greek
which is appropriated for kind of being, for more than one and for certain
group of people or company as one
constituted assembly. e.g, The LORD JESUS said explicitly, “I and the
Father are one” (John 10:30). We
must carefully consider in what sense that He and the Father are one: Does it
mean that the LORD JESUS has dual personality ? It can never be logical truth
that He in Himself is His own Father. The most accurately understandable
revelation of the LORD JESUS about Him and the Father as one, is in their
sameness as one God kind of being. The word one in that statement of the LORD
JESUS is “heis” in the original Greek
text which was translated in English as one for equality or sameness in kind of
being. Not the Greek word “mono” that
denote only for singular expression.
In the Old Testament and in the New
Testament, the Personal Singular Self Revealing God is not God the Father,
neither God the Holy Spirit but the LORD JESUS CHRIST alone. The
indestructible proof is because God the Father is the invisible God, ( John
1:18; 5:37; 6 :46;Col. 1:15;) by the exclusive revelation of the LORD JESUS
that “no one heard His voice at any time, nor seen His
shape” He said that, “Not that any man has
seen the Father, except the one who is from God; He has seen the Father”(John
6:46).
The
LORD JESUS is the one who speak for God the Father, because all things has been
given of the Father to the LORD JESUS (John 3:35) including all the spoken
words of the Father (John 12:49-50).The certain reason why the LORD JESUS alone
revealed the personal identity of His Father (Matt.11:27).
The LORD JESUS affirmatively revealed by His
statement that the Father is God (John 20:17); and in the book of the Old
Testament He revealed Himself as the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD
of Host; the first and the last; that there is no God besides Him with sameness
of Himself as the Redeemer, (Titus 2:14; Is.44:24 and as the Rock, the
spiritual Rock that followed Israel (1 Cor 10:4;Ps. 62:2).
That He is the Almighty God who appeared to Abraham
when Abraham was ninety nine years old (Gen.17:1) confirmed by Him in the New
Testament that Abraham had seen Him (John 8:56-58).
Only God kind has eternal existence, and forever in
infinite reality. How can Peter the Apostle of the LORD JESUS can precisely
asserts that the Holy Spirit which is the eternal Spirit (Heb.9:14 ), is not a
man but God to Ananias?(Acts 5:4). By the revelation of the LORD JESUS, that
Peter the Apostle of the LORD had known that the Holy Spirit is God, (Deut.
29:29). “The secret things belong to the LORD
our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we
may observe all the words of the law”.
The LORD JESUS also revealed to John, His beloved
Apostle, that, “There are three that bear
record in heaven, THE FATHER, THE WORD ,( referring to the LORD JESUS as the
living word); and the HOLY GHOST, and these three are one” (1 John 5:7). KJV
The
word one is clearly applied for the God
kind, as one kind of being, but three individually distinct persons in their
personal identity, and in their specific functions. God the Father has the
eternal purpose (Eph. 3:11) the one who order fixed agreement in set up
relationship e.g. “ For to which of the angels
did He ever say, “YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU” AND and again “ I
will be a FATHER TO HIM, AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME”?(Heb. 1:5).
The
LORD JESUS’ distinction from God the Father is in His personal identity; as the
Personal, Singular, Exclusively, Self
Revealing God in the entire Old Testament and New Testament as well. The God
and the only Redeemer who created all things alone, (Is. 44:24; 45:12; John
1:3; Col.1:16; Heb.1:2.10). The Son of God the Father who incarnated in the
flesh; (Is. 9:6; Mic.5:2; Matt. 1:20-23; John 1:14; 1Tim. 3:16) and the
returning King of kings, and LORD of lords (Rev. 19:16).
God the Holy Spirit cannot be personally seen (John
14:17) but manifested Himself in symbolic form as a dove (Matt.3:17); as rushing
wind, and He manifested Himself - tongues as of fire (Acts 2:1-3). All the
works of God the Holy Spirit is for the glory of the LORD JESUS (John
16:13-14).
Now
that the LORD JESUS had revealed the truthfulness that the Father is God, and
as revealed to His faithful followers, (Rom.1:7; 2 Pet. 1:1; 2 John 1:3) and
that He Himself is the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob (Ex.3:16;
Matt.22:32); the Almighty God who will return (2Cor.6:18; Rev.1:8). That the
Holy Spirit is God (Heb.9:14; Acts 5:4). It is the indisputable revelation of
the LORD JESUS that they are one kind of being as God, but three eternally
existing infinitely and individually distinct from each other in personal
identity.
To
assert fixedly that God is just one individual or single person in reality is
an absurd opinion, without truthful basis, because the word one have diversity
of usage for the kind of things and specially for the God kind reality.
In
the logic of truth, can anyone accept that one thousand pesos is just a single
peso? Can anyone agree that one dozen egg is just one egg? It is well explained
in the Holy Scriptures, that the one
spiritual body of the LORD JESUS has many members, all of His faithfully
devoted adherents (1Cor.12:12).
All the proponent of the Unitarian God, that God is
one in existence, is an extremely erroneous opinionated belief of monotheistic
sect organization. They are against the absolute truth of the LORD JESUS who
revealed that the infinitely existing God is not just one in number but three
in their reality (1 John 5:7) KJV.
They cannot accept one pair of shoes if it is just
one for the right foot, without the other one for the left foot.
We
will not disregard the usage of one for singular appropriation. The Apostle
Paul used it for affirmation of married relationship; “It is a trustworthy statement: If any man aspire to the office of
overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. An overseer, then must be above
reproach, the
husband of one wife, temperate, prudent
respectable, hospitable, able to teach” (1Tim. 3:1-2). In the original
Greek text of the word one in this written words, “mono” was appropriated for one wife, singular in declarative
mode, not plural. Another example is in the Gospel written by the Apostle John:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave, His only begotten Son that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but
have eternal life” (John 3:16). The word only denote singularity,
opposed to plurality.
The revelation of the God kind Trinity has been
precisely revealed by the LORD JESUS by the definition of His original written
word in Hebrew “echad”
as numerosity of the word one in English that which is applicable for kind of
being.THE FATHER, THE
SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS ONE GOD KIND OF BEING, BUT THREE DISTINCT PERSONS
IN THEIR REALITY.
