Explaining the Trinity

Explaining the Trinity

Renee EllisonApr 29, '26

Three airtight reasons why the Godhead must be three beings and not just one being only (God the Father).

One: God defines His core being as love, in the definitive scripture, “God is love.” For love to be expressed and received, there must be at least one other person around.

Two: “Let US make man in OUR image” was said by the Godhead. If there is only one Person of the godhead, why use plural terms?

Three: If the godhead is only one entity, then why not just make the one Adam to reflect that reality. Why bother with creating two beings to reflect His image, and why call them one flesh?!

Error: To believe that God is only the Father, and that the Holy Spirit is merely the breath of him, reduces Yeshua only to a perfect Torah-keeper and not divine.

Stripping Yeshua of divinity means His blood did nothing to save us. As the glorious hymn reminds us, What can make me white as snow? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!”

And so we see that the Godhead is three in one. One in purpose, one in unity, one in love, yet holding three separate forms. An analogy in the physical world can help us understand how three things could be one. Water can take the form of water, gas, or ice, yet it is the same substance.
