In I Timothy there is proof the three manifestations of God is Jesus Christ the one Lord God Almighty

The scriptures in I Timothy clarifies whether God is three persons or three manifestations of one God as mentioned in my book, "Understanding the Trinity, Three Persons vs Three Manifestations.  God's chosen people can clearly see that God is three manifestions of one God based on I Timothy 3:16. 

God never told us that He is or was three persons.  It's not in the Bible.  Three persons of one God is a figment of man's imagination. Three persons of God is "an assumption and a doctrine of men". (Colossians 2:8-9).  If God didn't say it in the Bible, then it's false and it's not true.  Man can't tell God He is three person when God didn't say it.  It's dangerous to make assumptions about who God is and not rightly dividing the Word of truth. 

God tells us who He is in both the Old and Testaments.  God is absolutely one God, one Lord, and one Person.  (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Job 13:6-11, Hebrews 1:3, 8).  Search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life.

Let me explain the three manifestations of one God in laymen terms and then you can verify what I'm saying in the scriptures that will follow.

God in His Spirit form is and was called the "Word".  God Himself as the "Word" became flesh and dwell among us as the Son of God (John 1:1, 3, 10, 14).  When the anointed Flesh of God, the Son, died, that body was changed into a Spiritual being which the world has never known (One God - Dual Nature).

Jesus Christ, the Spiritual being, which is and was God Himself, called the Son, could eat food and walk through walls. Jesus Christ's New Spiritual body is the same God who talked to Moses and the same God who told Paul His highest and glorious name (Acts 4:12, Matthew 1:23, I Corinthians 10:4, Acts 9:1-5).  Let's continue.  Jesus' Spiritual  body went back into heaven and was changed again and came back in the form of the Holy Ghost (John 14:17). 

God is One God who used three manifestations of Himself - The Father -  in Spirit (Jesus Christ - Isaiah 9:6, John 14:6-9), the Son - the anointed Flesh of God (Hebrews 1:8), the Holy Ghost as an indwelling Spirit (John 14:17).  One God changed Himself into three manifestations for the salvation of man. What if some don't believe?  Let God be true and every man a liar.   Again, God is not a trinity of three persons, God is one God, one Lord, and one Person who used three manifestations of Himself for the salvation of man (Colossians 2:8-12).

Note:  In John 1:1, The Bible states that the Word was with God.  This is not a separate being with God, the Word is God Himself.

Here is a human example using myself.  My word is me and my word stays with me.  My word is the essence of who I am.  If some one said, I said something, that word or statement is identified as me.  That word or statement is who I am.  The only thing that God is saying in John 1:1,  is that my Word is Me.  God took Himself as the Word and made Himself a body. (John 1:14, Colossians 2:8-9, Revelation 1:8).

I Timothy 1:1

Paul makes it seem like he is addressing more than one God. This is another scripture that will be a stumbling block if you don’t believe in one God because it will make you think that Paul is addressing more than one God. Let’s address the manner in which Paul gives his greetings. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and the Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope. One thing we have to understand about Paul is that he mentions God in a context wherein he will mention the Lord Jesus Christ as the same Person.

In this scripture Paul is saying God is our Saviour. Well we know that Jesus is our Saviour. And when Paul says “And” the Lord Jesus Christ. What does he mean? Paul is saying, God is our Saviour and he has come in the form of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is our hope. Guess What? Our hope is in God, and that God is Jesus Christ. Are you beginning to see how all the scriptures fit together? Jesus is God our Saviour (Isaiah 43:10-11).

I Timothy 2:3-5

Jesus is God our Saviour. In the process of trying to help you understand some of the complex issues in this book, I have also tried to let you see some of the simple, straight forward, no questions asked scriptures, which show that Jesus is the only God. This is one of those scriptures. Let’s take a look at how simple this scripture is. Verse 3. “ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” (Isaiah 43:10-15). Now, if you know the Word, we have a clear understanding that Jesus is our Saviour. However, what this scripture is telling us is that Jesus is God because Jesus is our Saviour. Again, logically speaking, this seems like simple Algebra to me. If God is the Saviour and Jesus is the Saviour, then, Jesus is God our Saviour. Verse 5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Again, God tells us that he is one. Let’s look at this scripture from a revelatory stand point. There is one God, Jesus Christ, who is also the mediator between his Spirit and man. This scripture gives us an understanding of scriptures in II Corinthians 5:19 and Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9 “God was in Christ,” the mediator, reconciling the world back to himself. In other words, Christ, who is God, is the mediator in the flesh who reconciles us back to his Holy Spirit. There is only one Person, Jesus Christ, in the Godhead and he is also our mediator, our Saviour, and our God. Intriguing, wouldn’t you think? You bet. This is the true operation of the gospel of Christ. Do you remember me telling you that God’s Word is synergistic? When we look at the Word of God, all scripture should fit nicely with all other scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments.

Again, If you are studying the Word and the scriptures seem to clash, then your thought process is in error. You must ask the Lord to help your understanding and/or unbelief. You must believe the Word of God in order to understand what God will reveal to you. Ask the Lord to open your understanding. In your search, you should look for other scriptures to clarify your understanding of what God is saying to you. The scriptures will only be revealed to believers in the oneness of God and the Deity of Christ. First, you must believe that God is; and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. We have to understand that God was manifested in the flesh.

I Timothy 3:16

God was manifested in the flesh. This scripture is so direct and simple to me, that it hurts my heart when I see people who say they are believers in Christ and they can’t see the revelation of this scripture. This is one of the major scriptures that explains the whole concept of the knowledge and mystery of Christ.

Let’s take a look at how I have grown to understand this scripture. First of all, it’s extremely straight forward. We understand without question that there is a mystery of godliness, however, this scripture explains the manifestation of God and his oneness. When this scripture tells us that God was manifested in the flesh, it is telling us that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus is the only Person who came from God and was manifested as God (John 1:1, 14). This is also one of the scriptures that clarifies for you - my use of the word – manifestations. In this scripture, we can see the synergistic effect of all the other scriptures which confirm that Jesus Christ is God himself and that there is no other God.

Research the following scriptures. These scriptures help us to know and believe in “The Deity of Christ,” the concept that Jesus is the only God. In Isaiah 9:6, we see that Jesus is the everlasting Father and the mighty God. In John 1:1, 3, 10,14. We see that Jesus is the Word, the creator who made the world. And we understand that the Word, who is God, was made flesh. The flesh of God is Jesus Christ, the only, most powerful God in the Universe. In Colossians 1:14-19 and 2:9, we see that God is in the body of Jesus, the one Person in the Godhead. In I John 5:20, we see that Jesus is the only True God, and in Revelation 1:8, 11, we see that Jesus is the Almighty. There are so many more scriptures that verifies this scripture in Timothy.

Now, we understand that the God that was manifested in the flesh is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the God who was justified in the Spirit, through his death, burial and resurrection. God justified and glorified his own body which is the body of Christ (John 17:5, 21:19, II Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9).

Jesus Christ is the God who was seen of angels in his Spirit form as the Father of Creation, he was seen of angels at his birth, and he was seen of angels as he ascended back into heaven after his resurrection and glorification.

Jesus Christ was the God who was preached unto the Gentiles by Paul and the apostles (Acts 9:11-16, Romans 1:16, I Corinthians 1:24, Galatians 3:28, Colossians 3:11).

Jesus Christ is the God who was believed on in the world by the apostles, the Jews, and the Gentiles. Thank God for the love that he has shown toward the Gentiles of this world. For we are free to love the Lord Jesus Christ as our own Lord and Saviour.

Jesus Christ is the God who was received up into glory (Acts 1:9-11). The same way that Jesus ascended up into heaven, will be the same way he will return. Upon his return all nations will bow and declare that Jesus is God. This scripture tells us that Jesus is the only God and he will return for the ones who believe and have the knowledge of him and who know who he is (II Thessalonians 1:7-8). For if they would have known that Jesus Christ was the Lord they would have been washed in his blood and would have received his Spirit (Acts 2:38). Thank God for Jesus and the love that he has shown toward his dear saints who have the revelation of his glorious name. In II Timothy we see that we must study to show ourselves approved of God.
