Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: In the book of Colossians there is proof that Jesu...: "Why is it that people won't believe God when He says He is one Lord, one God and He is in the body of one Person - Jesus Christ (Colossians ..."
In the book of Colossians there is proof that Jesus Christ is the one Lord God Almighty (Rev. 1:8)
Why is it that people won't believe God when He says He is one Lord, one God and He is in the body of one Person - Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:9). There are not three persons in God because it is not in the Bible and God never said it and if God didn't say it then it's not true. The Bible is true and it's a plum line for our faith. (Job 13:6-12)
Three persons in one God is a Catholic doctrine formulated and spread worldwide by the Catholic Church along with some other well known churches. Listen, you are following a "doctrine of men" put together by Catholic Bishops not by God (Colossians 2:8-12).
Go to any Public Library and study to find out where the Trinity and theTrinitarian doctrine came from. Study to show yourself approved. The doctrine of the Trinity is not in the Bible. The Trinity, the Trinitarian doctrine, and three persons in God are "assumptions" made by reading the New Testament.
Throughout the Bible, there are many doctrine but there is no mention of a Trinitarian doctrine. If there is no mention of the Trinity or Trinitarian doctrine in the Bible, why do we teach or preach about something that's not in the Bible and a doctrine that we don't understand?
God never said He is three persons. God is one God, one Person and He is in one body. The full Deity of God is in the body of Jesus Christ (Matthew 17:5, 28:18, II Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 1:19, 2:9, Hebrews 1:3, 8)
Colossians 1:2,3
Verse 2. To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Translation: To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God who is our Father in the Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ who is God’s fleshly manifestation.
Verse 3. We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
Translation: We give thanks to God who is the Spiritual Father of the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
Colossians 1:1-20, 2:3-12
There are so many scriptures to prove the absolute Deity of Jesus Christ - meaning Jesus Christ is the one and only God. Let’s take another look at how Paul shows the mystery of God.
In Colossians 2:2, Paul talks about the mystery of God and of the Father (Spirit) and of Christ (flesh). To explain this mystery of the manifestation of God, Paul tells us in the first two chapters of Colossians that Jesus Christ really is the manifestation of God himself and there is no other God besides him; (Isaiah 43:10-12, John 8:24)
Colossians 1:15 Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God (Hebrews 1:3)
Colossians 1:16 Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things (John 1:1, 10, Colossians 1:12-19 )
Colossians 1:17 Jesus Christ is before all things (meaning his Spirit is eternal - John 1:1, 14)
Colossians 1:17 By Jesus Christ all things consist (John 1:1, 3)
Colossians 1:18 Jesus Christ is the head of the body, the church: (Acts 10:36)
Colossians 1:18 Jesus Christ has the preeminence of all things (John 1:1, 3, 10)
Colossians 1:19, 2:9 Jesus Christ has the fullness of God in his body (John 1:1, 14).
Colossians 1:20, Jesus Christ (God) made peace through his blood (Acts 20:28)
Colossians 1:20 Jesus Christ (flesh) has reconciled all things unto himself (II Corinthians 5:19).
Colossians 1:20 Jesus Christ has reconciled all things in heaven and earth unto himself.
Colossians 2:3 Jesus Christ has hid in him all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Ephesians 3:9-11- Jesus Christ is Omniscience).
Colossians 2:5 Jesus Christ is with us in the Spirit (Holy Spirit) (John 14:18).
Colossians 2:5 Jesus Christ is beholding your order and stedfastness of your faith in Christ (Colossians 2:8-12).
Colossians 2:6 We have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so we should walk in him (I Timothy 3:16).
Colossians 2:7 We have been rooted, built up and established in the faith of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 2:8 Don’t be deceived by philosophy, vain deceit, traditions of men, after the rudiments of this world, and not after Christ (Trinitarian doctrine–Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.)
Colossians 2:9 God’s fullness is in the body of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, 14, Rev. 1:8).
Colossians 2:10 We are complete in God (Jesus Christ) (everything exist/consist because of Jesus Christ and we are complete in Him (John 1:1, 3, 10, 14, Colossians 1:14-19, Rev. 1:8).
Colossians 2:10 Jesus Christ is God, the head of all principalities and powers (Matthew 28:18, Colossians 1:14-19, Revelation 1:8).
Colossians 2:12 We are buried with Jesus Christ in baptism (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4).
These scriptures show us how important it is to understand the mystery of God in the body of Jesus Christ so that we might have faith in his name. If we believe and have faith, we will get washed in the blood of Jesus Christ by baptism in his name, the Rock of our salvation (review the entire book of Acts of the apostles). How does God’s Spirit work?
Colossians 1:1-19
In our efforts to understand how Gods’ Spirit worked through the manifestation of Jesus Christ, Paul tells the saints that Jesus Christ is the God that created heaven and earth.He explains that Jesus is the manifestation of the invisible God. Paul preaches the same gospel to the Hebrews (Hebrews 1:1-3, 8). He tells the Hebrews that Jesus is the express image of God and that we can see him in “one Person” – Jesus Christ. In other words, Jesus is a manifestation of God himself.
Going back to Colossians 1:16, Paul explains that Jesus Christ created all things in heaven, the earth, visible and invisible thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers. All things were created by Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ. This confirms the scripture in John 1:10.
Look at verse 17. Paul explains that Jesus is before all things and all things work together because of Jesus Christ. Now, look at the 19th verse. Gods’ Spirit is pleased to be in the body of Jesus Christ. God says that same thing in Matthew 3:17. God is pleased to be in the body of Jesus Christ.
The aforementioned scriptures also confirms Gods’ Word in Colossians 1:19, 2:8-10. The fullness of the Godhead is in the body of Jesus Christ. There is only one God, one body, one Person, and one Spirit, which is the embodiment of Jesus Christ, who is the one God. How is it that every man don’t have this knowledge? (I Corinthians 8:6-7). Jesus is God and he created all things in the universe (John 1:10).
Colossians 1:12-27
Jesus is God and he created all things in the universe. Paul gave thanks to God that the saints had come into the marvelous light, knowledge and mystery of Jesus Christ. He taught them how Jesus who is God created everything in the universe. He also explains that we have salvation through the blood of Jesus who is God. He explains that Jesus is the image of God because the Spirit is invisible. No man has ever seen the Spirit of God in his fullness.
Let’s look at John 1:10, I Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 3:9. Look at how the scriptures say the same things more than once. As aforementioned, when reading this book, you will see an amplification of the redundancy of the Word of God. You will see this redundancy so clearly because I am showing you how to put these scriptures in a juxtaposition with others so that you can see that all scripture say the same things.
God has always stressed that everything was made by, because of; on account of; Jesus Christ. Everything was made by Jesus Christ whether they are in heaven, on earth, whether they be visible or invisible, whether they be thrones, dominions, principalities or powers. All things were created by Jesus Christ in his Spiritual form as the Father of creation (I Corinthians 10:4). What does this really mean? This means that Jesus Christ is God, Jehovah Saviour, and besides Jesus Christ, there is no God.
What is the Point? The point is Jesus Christ is a manifestation of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Again, compare these two scriptures Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38, so that you can understand salvation and how to be born again through repentance, the remission of sins, the baptism in Jesus name, and the reception of the Holy Spirit. God will reveal to you that Christ is the mystery in you.
Colossians 1:25-27
Christ is the mystery in you. The mystery of the gospel has been manifested in the flesh of Jesus Christ as the Son of the Father (Heavenly Spirit). This is the mystery that was before the foundation of the world. The mystery is that Jesus Christ is God and he walked among us and we didn’t know him (John 1:10). Now that same God, who is the Spirit of Christ, is in our bodies and we are witnesses for him who is our hope of glory. We can rest assuredly that Jesus is the same God who made the heavens and the earth and everything which is visible and invisible.
The mystery is; how can Jesus be God, Man and the Holy Spirit (I Timothy 3:16). This is the mystery and knowledge of which Paul was so excited, for he understood how the manifestations of God were used for the salvation of mankind. In order for us to understand the mystery we need to get a clear understanding that there is one Person in the Godhead.
Colossians 2:8-10
This scripture is a clear indication that there is only one Person in the Godhead. Paul warned us not to be spoiled by philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men and not after Christ because all of the fullness of God is in the body of Christ.
This scripture confirms (Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 40:3, John 1:1-14, Romans 16:25-27, I Corinthians 8:6, 10:4, Philippians 2:6, 10-11, Colossians 1:1-19, Hebrews 1:1-3, Revelation 1:8, 11, 22:1). These are a few of the many scriptures that attest to the One God theory. There are three manifestations of one God. There is no such thing as one God with three persons.” (Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9).
Let’s go back to the “Trinitarian doctrine.” According to The New Edition of The Merriam Webster Dictionary, 1994, the foundation of the “Trinitarian doctrine is that God is one but he has three distinct persons. This is a false doctrine and it is accursed according to Paul (Galatians 1:6-12). Jews have never believed in three persons in the Godhead. God had forewarned Israel – Hear O Israel, the Lord Our God is one Lord. The oneness of God has been stressed on numerous occasions in both the Old and New Testaments. Why would God change and tell the Gentiles something different in the New Testament? Man’s mind, traditions and unbelief in the oneness of God have perverted the gospel of Christ.
The true foundation of Christianity is the belief and understanding of the oneness of God as foretold in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11). In order to understand who Jesus is, one must understand the oneness of God. The belief that Jesus Christ is Lord of all will cause you to repent, be baptized in Jesus name and God will fill you with his Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-39).
Note: If we believe, why would we insist on believing in three persons in One? God has told us on more than one occasion that he is one God without any connection to other beings, spirits, or gods. God doesn’t know of any other gods or persons in the Godhead. Would God lie? There is only one Person in the Godhead (Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9). The Father (Heavenly Spirit) is a Spirit that doesn’t have blood nor the constituency of a person, it is a Spirit. By the same token, the Holy Spirit doesn’t have blood nor have the constituency of a person, for it also is a Spirit. Yes, there are human qualities in the Spirit of God that would make us think that these manifestations are persons.
Our human intellect would want to convince us that these manifestations are persons. However, Jesus Christ is the only Person in the Godhead who has blood and all of the attributes and constituency of a person as we know a person to be. All of the fullness of God is in the “one Person” of Jesus Christ and we are complete in him who is the head of all principality and power (Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9-12).
God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself (II Corinthians 5:19). This scripture confirms John 1:1, 10, 14 and Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9. God was in one Person – Jesus Christ. The “Trinitarian doctrine” as developed and propagated by the “Old Catholic Age Churches,” has been the foundation of Protestant churches all over the world. This doctrine is so confusing that it’s hard to understand how educated Christian scholars, philosophers, theologians and teachers could believe in such a doctrine which has no basis of fact. How could three persons be in one God? It doesn’t make any sense. As a matter of fact, most honest leaders will admit that they don’t understand “The Trinity.” In fact, nobody can fully understand the “Trinitarian doctrine” nor can they back it up with facts using the Word of God. This doctrine is false and it is a perversion of the doctrine of Christ (Galatians 1:6-12). The fact that we should do everything in Jesus name is proof that God is one and he has one name for salvation.
Colossians. 3:17
Do everything in word or deed, do all in Jesus name. The power of this scripture is in its simplicity. When I think of this scripture, I have the thought that even a child couldn’t make a mistake in finding the way to salvation. For example, if they would believe in God’s Word, repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remissions of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, they would be saved because of the belief in Jesus name and the belief that the name of Jesus would save his/her soul.
Why is it so difficult to do everything in the name of Jesus Christ? It’s difficult because of unbelief. We don’t believe that we must do everything in the name of Jesus Christ because we don’t have that much confidence in the power of his name. I can assure you that you are complete in the name of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2:6, 10-11, Colossians 2:8-10). Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of his name and you will find the door to salvation and eternal life.
If we search the scriptures and seek for an understanding of the mystery and knowledge of Christ, we should understand why we must do all things in the name of Jesus, for he is our rock and a sure foundation. He that believeth and is baptized in Jesus name will be saved and he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38). Now we can understand Jesus when He says depart from me I never knew you. Why? Because you never identified with Jesus Christ through baptism. Paul always spoke boldly about the mystery of Christ.
Colossians 4:3-4
Paul speaks about the mystery of Christ. This scripture is interesting because Paul is asking the saints to pray for them that God will open up an opportunity for him to expound on this mystery because he has a charge to explain this mystery to the Gentiles. Paul wanted to speak plainly so that the Gentiles would understand and that the Word would come alive in their hearts so that they might see Christ.
Paul also understood, that no one can understand the mystery of God unless it is revealed by God himself. God would have to open up a door so that he could preach the gospel in wisdom and so that God’s Word would be manifested. Paul also wanted the saints to be seasoned so that they could answer the questions that the new converts would have concerning the mystery of Christ.

God would have to open up a door so that he could preach the gospel in wisdom and so that God’s Word would be manifested. Paul also wanted the saints to be seasoned so that they could answer the questions that the new converts would have concerning the mystery of Christ.
