Jehovah as one Person

 In response to our statements that Jehovah is one person, one has responded:

"Nowhere in scripture does it say God is one person. But, the evidence is there that God expressed His ONE nature in three personage."

 The default is that Jehovah is one person, especially in view of the fact that He is never once in the Bible presented as being more than one person. and he is ALWAYS presented as being one person. The burden is on those who claim that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is more than one person to present a scripture that shows that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is definitely spoken of as more than one person. And since the trinitarian self-appointed "orthodoxy" makes acceptance of the trinity dogma as being necessary to be saved, if God is more than one person, and if he is the God of love the Bible proclaims him, to be, we should certainly expect to find this plainly presented in the Bible over and over and over. The fact is, however, that not once is such an idea ever presented in the Bible. The fact is that the concept has to be formulated beyond what is written, and then many assumptions have to be created beyond what is written to give credence to the idea that the Bible supports that concept. Those concepts have to be added to, and read into the scriptures.

In Genesis 1:1,2, ELOHIM as the God who becomes the God of Abraham is presented, not as being more than one person, but only as one person. This is evident from verse 2 where His spirit is presented as belonging to him, not as being a person of him. This is in agreement with the usage of ELOHIM in Psalm 45:7; Isaiah 61:1,2 and Micah 5:4.

In Deuteronomy 18:15-19, Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is only one person. Peter presents him as being only one person, and distinguished from His son, in Acts 3:13-26.

In Exodus 3:14,15, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is being presented as being only one person, the same one person spoken of in Hebrews 1:1, who spoke through His prophet Moses, which again ties in with Acts 3:13-26, in which Peter definitely presents the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who spoke through his prophet Moses, as being only one person. This one person is distinguished from His son in both Acts 3:13-26 and Hebrews 1:1-3.

In Isaiah 61:1, the Lord Jehovah is definitely presented as being only one person, and distinguished from being the one whom He anointed (made Christ -- Acts 2:36) and sent; this the same one person that Jesus addresses as his Father and the only true God who sent Jesus in John 17:1,3.

In Micah 5:4, we find that Jehovah is again presented as being only one person, and He is being distinguished from being the Messiah, the one whom the one person, Jehovah, anointed. Thus, Jesus refers to Jehovah, his Father, as "my God." -- Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34; John 20:17; Revelation 2:7; 3:2,12.

Likewise, Paul, in harmony with Isaiah 44:6; 45:5; and Micah 5:4, presents the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who is the only source of all strength, might, as being only one person, and that is the God and Father of Jesus. -- Ephesians 1:3,17-23; 1 Corinthians 8:6.

All through Hebrews 1, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is presented as being only one person who spoke to and through the prophets of old. This one person who spoke through the prophets is distinguished from being Jesus, since the God who spoke through the prophets now speaks to us through Jesus.

We could present many more scriptures, but from experience, we know the trinitarians like to imagine this, and imagine that, and formulate many assumptions, and read what they have imagined and assumed into the scriptures, so as have many scriptures appear to be speaking of the extra-Biblical trinitarian dogma. Sadly, most trinitarians do not even realize that they are imagining so much that is not actually in the Bible. The trinitarian indoctrination has left so many minds with the idea that the trinity is the default, and thus their minds are ready to accept that anything imagined to support that default must be true. Nevertheless, the Bible can be seen to be in full harmony with itself without adding all the trinitarian assumptions and reading those assumptions into the scriptures. It is not for us to judge all who think the Bible teaches the trinity, but we do endeavor, as best we are able, to present what the Bible does say, versus what it does not say. We pray that, if it be God's will, that what we present may help others, but it is up to God and His Son as to how much they will permit any of us to understand.
