Join me on this journey. Let's seek the truth together! 💡 Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

Is God One or Three Persons? – A Biblical Examination

Is God One or Three Persons? Bible study comparing the Trinity doctrine with Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, and the Bible's teaching that Yahweh is one.

This study examines one of Christianity's most important questions: Is God one, or is God three persons called the Trinity? By comparing the traditional Trinity doctrine with passages such as Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, John 17:3, and 1 Corinthians 8:6, readers are encouraged to search the Scriptures carefully and compare every doctrine with the clear teaching of Jesus and the apostles.

Is God One or Three Persons?

One of the most important questions every Christian should ask is:

What does the Bible actually say?

The Old Testament

Moses declared:

"Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one."
Deuteronomy 6:4

This verse became the foundation of Israel's faith and was repeated daily by God's people.

Notice that Moses simply declares that Yahweh is one.

There is no mention of God being three persons or a Trinity.

Jesus Confirmed the Same Truth

When Jesus was asked which commandment was the greatest, He quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 without changing a single doctrine.

"The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.'"
Mark 12:29

Jesus reaffirmed the same confession of faith that Israel had believed for centuries.

Again, there is no mention of three divine persons or a Trinity.

An Important Question

If Jesus intended His followers to believe that God is three persons in one being, why did He simply repeat the words:

"The Lord our God, the Lord is one."

Why did He not explain that God is three persons sharing one divine nature?

The New Testament records no such explanation in this passage.

Search the Scriptures

Every Christian should carefully compare what later doctrines teach with what Jesus and the Scriptures actually say.

The Bible repeatedly declares that there is one God, and Jesus identified the Father as "the only true God" (John 17:3).

For that reason, it is essential that our understanding of God is built upon the clear teaching of Scripture rather than later theological formulations.
