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.
