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.

Quick Facts: Is God Really a Compound Unity Called the Trinity?

Quick Facts infographic examining whether God is a compound unity called the Trinity using Mark 12:29, Deuteronomy 6:4, and biblical evidence.

 This Quick Facts infographic examines one of Christianity's most important questions: Did Jesus teach that God is a compound unity called the Trinity? Compare Jesus' words in Mark 12:29 with Deuteronomy 6:4 and consider the biblical evidence for yourself.


QUICK FACTS

Is God Really a Compound Unity Called the Trinity?

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

When Jesus repeated the greatest commandment in the entire Bible, did He teach that God is three Persons, or did He simply affirm that God is one?

The answer may surprise many.

The Biblical Facts

  • Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 exactly as it was originally given:

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

  • Jesus did not explain that "one" secretly meant three Persons.

  • The Jewish scribe immediately agreed with Jesus and replied:

    "You have truly said that HE is one, and there is no other besides HIM."

  • Notice carefully that the scribe spoke about HE and HIM—referring to the one God of Israel.

  • The scribe did not say:

    • "The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one God."

    • "You, Jesus, are that one God."

    • "God is a compound unity."

  • Instead, he affirmed that HE is one and that there is no other besides Him.

  • Jesus did not correct the scribe.

  • Instead, Jesus praised his answer:

    "You are not far from the kingdom of God."

A Simple Question

If believing God is three co-equal Persons were essential for salvation, why didn't Jesus explain it here—when discussing the greatest commandment ever given?

Why did neither Jesus nor the scribe mention anything about:

  • Three Persons?

  • A Triune God?

  • A compound unity?

  • God being "one essence in three persons"?

They simply affirmed the words already revealed in Scripture:

The Lord our God is one.

The Main Question

Did Jesus believe exactly what Moses taught in Deuteronomy 6:4?

Or should we believe that the word "one" really means something entirely different?

That is the question this article will examine by looking carefully at the biblical evidence in its historical, grammatical, and contextual setting.
