1. One God - The supreme, self-existent Deity, the One Father, dwelling in unapproachable light, Who has, out of His own underived energy, created heaven and earth, and all that is in them (see Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:6-8; 45:5; 46:9; Mark 12:29-32; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; Psalm 124:8; 146:6; 1 Timothy 6:15-16). 2. The Son of God - The Lord Jesus Christ, begotten of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, without the intervention of man, and afterwards anointed with the same Spirit, without measure, at his baptism. Put to death as a sin-offering, raised again the third day when he was given eternal life, and now awaiting the time when he shall return to earth to set up the Kingdom of God (see Luke 1:26-33; Acts 2:22-24, 36; Galatians 4:4; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 3:16-17; John 3:34; Hebrews 2:14-16; Romans 1:3; Hebrews 5:8-9; Acts 1: I 1; Acts 3:26). 3. The Holy Spirit - The Power of God by which He is cognizant of all that happens in heaven or earth, by which He sustains all creation, by which holy men of old were moved to record His revelation (the Bible), and by which they were enabled to perform miracles in ages past (Genesis 1:1-2; Job 26:13; 33:4; Acts 17:25-28; Ne. 9:30. Connect john 14:26; 15:26; 16:13; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4, with Mark 16:17,20 and Luke 24:49. See also Luke 1:35; Acts 5:30-32; 2 Peter 1: 19-21). The Bible nowhere teaches that God is a triune Being, or that the Lord Jesus Christ is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, but the very opposite. Many theologians have been frank enough to admit that the doctrine is not taught in the Bible, and that it cannot be logically explained. They acknowledge that the teaching is incomprehensible, and that it propounds a contradiction in terms. They cannot explain how one God can be also three Gods and vice versa; how God can have substance, and yet no form; or how the Son of God can at the same time, be his own Father!
