Who is the Creator?

We present below a list of scriptures that have been presented to us in support of the trinity doctrine regarding the Creator.

Who is the creator?
The Father (Gen 1:1; Is 44:24; Acts 17:24; Eph 3:9);
Jesus (Jn 1:3; Col 1:16; Heb 1:8, 10);
The Holy Spirit (Job 33:4).

We have no doubt that the "one God" of whom are all (1 Corinthians 8:6) is also the only source of creation. John 1:3,10; Colossians 1:16 and Ephesians 3:9 show that Jesus is the instrument in creation. Hebrews 1:8,10 should likewise be viewed as Jesus being the instrument of the one person who is God in Hebrews 1:1,9.

God, of course, also makes use of his Holy Spirit -- his figurative finger -- in creation.

There is nothing in any of the scriptures, however, that presents Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:14,15), as being more than one person, or that says that Jesus and God's Holy Spirit are both persons of Jehovah.

We hope to return here to discuss individually each scripture given in more detail.

Zechariah 3:2 - Does Jehovah Ask Jehovah to Rebuke Satan?

Zechariah 3:1-2 - And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.[2] And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? -- American Standard Version . Deuteronomy 6:4 - Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. -- American Standard Version. Zechariah 3:2 is sometimes quoted as proof that Jesus is called "Jehovah" and therefore it is claimed that Jesus is a person of the trinitarian concept of three persons in God. Of course, there is nothing all here that presents any concept that the one Jehovah is more than one person, or that He is three persons, etc. Such concepts have to imagined, assumed, added to, and read into what is stated. As it reads in the translation above, it would appear that there are two different Jehovahs, one Jehovah who speaks of another Jehovah, ...

Psalm 110:5 - Did David Claim the Messiah is Jehovah?

The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath. -- Psalm 110:5, World English . Some refer to Psalm 110:5 as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, or a person of Jehovah. The claim appears to be that since David's Lord is spoke of as being at the right hand of Jehovah in Psalm 110:1, that Jehovah is depicted as being at the right hand of Jehovah in Psalm 110:5 must be referring to the Messiah as the second person Jehovah, sitting at the right hand of the first person of Jehovah. Of course, one has to add a lot of assumptions to the what is said in Psalm 110:1,5 in order to "see" any idea of the alleged trinity at all. The Masoretic text does not have the Holy Name in this verse; it has what is often transliterated as "adonay/adonai." http://qbible.com/hebrew-old-testament/psalms/110.html#5 The original Hebrew, however, does not actually have ADONAY anywhere. In the ancient Hebrew, there is no distinction between adonay and adony. They a...
