Today is October 18, 2013 Verse of the Day -- Genesis 1:26 Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness . . . THOUGHT FOR THE DAY One God, three personages. MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY Scripture contains several references to a plural Godhead. The anything-but-subtle wording of Us and Our in the verse above points to a plural Headship. There are others: . . . the man has become like one of Us . . . —Genesis 3:22 Come let Us go down and confuse their language . . . —Genesis 11:7 . . . Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? —Isaiah 6:8 Also, in Isaiah 59:20 the Redeemer (who must be divine) is distinguished from the Lord, and in Isaiah 48:16, 59:21 and 63:9-10, the Spirit is distinguished from the Lord. The New Testament also points to the Trinity. The clearest reference is: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. —Matthew 28:19 Notice the wording in the name of and not in the names of. This clearly confirms one God, not three. Our single God reveals Himself in three forms: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! —Deuteronomy 6:4 compass.org
