One God (Part 3)

If we deny the triune nature of God we then deny creation and redemption. Because God chose to create the world and redeem man it doesn't mean there are three Gods in one. But because these are important aspects of creation, God wants and commands us to refer to Him in these three aspects of Himself. The first three words in the Hebrew Bible of Genesis states, "Bereshit bara Elohim." Please note that God uses "three" words denoting creation and the third word describes God in a plural nature. Get it? Three! Bereshit (In the beginning) bara (created) Elohim (God). "In the beginning God created." Three words, three aspects of God, and Elo-heem, the name of God in plural form. We understand God as Spirit. We even understand God as Father. Yet mankind seems to be very ignorant of God as Redeemer. If God is Spirit, and Father, does that make Him two Gods? If we understand God as Redeemer as well does that make Him three Gods? No! Try and understand God as one Spirit, who is Father to His creation and Redeemer to those who will trust in Him.

The following is a quote from the Zohar, which is a rabbinical writing of the first century, and acknowledged by modern rabbinical Judaism as authentic. "The Ancient Holy One is revealed (found) with three Heads, which are united in One, and that Head is threefold exalted. The Ancient Holy One is described as being Three; it is because the other Lights (i.e., two Lights) emanating from Him are included in the Three. Yet the Ancient one is described as being two (Daniel 7:13). The Ancient One includes these two (i.e. the two are found in Him). He is the Crown of all that is exalted; the Chief of the chief, so exalted, that He cannot be known to perfection. Thus the other Lights (Shining Ones) are two complete ones yet is the Ancient Holy One described and complete as One, and He is One, positively One; thus are the other Lights united and glorified in One; because they are One."

Is Yeshua the Redeemer? Is He the Son of God and God the Son? What does God say? Note God is speaking in this passage. It refers to the time when He returns to set up His Kingdom, and He forgives Israel their sins forever like He promised He would. "And I (note personal pronoun) will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they (Israel) will look on Me (note personal pronoun) whom they (Israel) pierced (Killed on the cross) Yes, they will mourn for Him (referring to Yeshua or Son of God) as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." (Zechariah 12:10) So God says that one day all of Israel will look on Himself as the one who was pierced. God is identifying this person who was pierced as Himself. Please note again: "They will look on Me." This was spoken of by a prophet who lived more than 400 years before Yeshua was pierced.

"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..." His name is Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) Please note that the Son who comes to us in the form of a Child has five significant titles, and among the five names two identify the Son as Everlasting Father and Mighty God. So God is declaring that the Son is God.

"Kiss the Son, lest He be angry...Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him." (Psalm 2:12) To put our trust in anyone other than God is idolatry. Therefore the Son is God.

"Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord God and His Spirit have sent Me. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go." (YeshaYahu) Isaiah 48:16,17 This is God speaking to His people in the nature of Redeemer who is in agreement with the other two natures of Himself: Lord God and Spirit.
Now how is this possible? Can God have three aspects of Himself and remain one? Of course. I can be three, and I am. I am not three persons, separate from each other however. I do possess the ability to be a son, a parent and a husband. So how can we say that God cannot be three? If you refuse to believe in the triune nature of God then you refuse to accept creation, which is an obvious fact, and redemption of mankind. Without those two aspects of God then we just have the Holy Spirit hovering above the waters. It is what the Holy Spirit did afterwards that makes up the triune nature of God. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This means if you deny and refuse to accept the work of the Holy Spirit in creation and redemption you will have no salvation. I strongly urge you to look into Scripture and let God speak to you on this very important matter. Shalom.
