Explanation of the Trinity...Is there a Trinity…A God…A Creator…


Is the word Trinity as made popular by Saint Patrick with his three-leaf clover or shamrock…Is Trinity a Biblical word or is it possible it is a biblical concept but not describe in an English word like trinity but is in a word in the Hebrew language called Eloheem? Yes the word for let us make man in our image…is plural and is Eloheem.


Gen 1:26 KJV And God said, Let us (Eloheem…Trinity)…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 creeps upon the earth.


Rom 1:20 KJV For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:


1Pe 1:2 KJV Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.


Mat 3:16-17 KJV And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased…His Father.


Without much detail…the Bible’s inspired record calls three individuals Self-Existing…Eternal…All Powerful…All Knowing…Ever Present…God the Father…God the Spirit…And God the Son. Each of these three are the Same…Authority…Power…Will…Each is Individual with Individual Roles…You can see the three individuals during the baptism of Jesus…Jesus the God who became man…the God the Son of man(kind)…being baptized…The Holy Spirit God descending in the form of a Dove…God the Father Speaking from Heaven saying my Son in whom I well pleased…There are three individuals with the Same…Authority…Power…Will…whom are each Omnipresent (Ever Present)…Omniscience (All Knowing)…Omnipotence (All Powerful). Saint Patrick described the Godhood as a three leaf clover…three individual leaves but one body…


The Three Individual Leaves should be the roles God (Eloheem) functions as…God the Father of Mercies (2 Cor 1:3) The Final Authority on Mercy being mercy’s Creator…willing to forgive when the first lie was told or when the first sin happened…God the Son…Jesus the Christ willing to be the Author of Salvation (Heb 5:8-9)…having been sent by the Father…became the only Human our Creator ever Fathered…supplied all that was needed…became the Supply of Salvation…God the Spirit…makes it happen…the builder and sustainer of salvation and the saved (2 Cor 1:22)…the three roles are the God the Father…He is the Final Authority on Salvation or Mercy…Jesus the Christ (Son Sent)…He is the Supply and became the Author of Salvation and provided everything needed to be forgiven and saved…God the Holy Spirit…the doer of salvation and sustainer of the saved.


Let Us make man in Our Image…In terms of a house…The Father decided mercy is a house of salvation… (The Final Authority…The Architect) The Son decided to provide it by being the Supply becoming the Author of Salvation’s House (The Shepherd…Overseeing the plans and provides as needed)…The Spirit decided to do it (The Builder).


In terms of a Family…all three have the Same Name…God…All three have the Same Authority…All three are the Same Substance (eternal and self existing)…All three have the Same Knowledge…but the three perform three different roles…God the Father…He the dad…final authority. God the Son…the One who provides for the Father’s Will. God the Spirit…nurturing like a mom all that is needed for salvation.


Father we are but children in diapers before You please teach us how to be Your offspring in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
