The Judeo/Christian God is Truine

I appreciate my opponents participation in this debate. Lets me begin by defining the Trinity: the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead There is one being in three personhoods.. One "What" Three "Who's" Here's an illustration to understand more clearly: We see this idea paralleled in Jesus' statements: I and the Father are one.” John 10:33Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. (John 14:9-11) We also see this idea riddled throughout the Gospels: And when Jesus (The Son) was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, (The Father) a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17) In the beginning was the ( Son) Word, and the Word was with God (The Father), and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him (John 1:1) We understand that the Trinity is a key doctrine embedded in the NT.. In order to remain consistent, the OT also must describe God as triune otherwise, it renders the entire NT as fallacious. As a Christian, I believe that All Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and must be inherent or else.. Self defeating. Lets take a look at some key verse's that are found in the OT regarding God. *OT refers to Old Testament, NT refers to New Testament "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness (Genesis 1:26) "Then the Lord God said, 'Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:22)"Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech." (Genesis 11:7)Notice the plurality in these OT phrases taken out of THE FIRST BOOK of the Hebrew Bible... Why was God continually found referring to himself in the plural form? A common "answer" says that God was referring to the angels.. Let me show you why that's not even remotely possible:1). Humans were not made in the image of angels 2). Nowhere in the OT does a leader refers to himself with the term "us".. It is not a common element found in the biblical literature. There is no other explanation rather than God being triune in nature.. as described above. I'm interested in hearing my opponents response. Lets look at some more verse's: "Come near to Me [God], listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, from the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit.” (Isaiah 48:16)We see here that God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah we see later in the verse: Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, "I am the LORD your GodWe see here the idea that God was there when He promised Israel's deliverance.. and he is sent by God and His Spirit. What does that sound like? Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."22And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20:21) This is another great example of the relational nature of God as the verse is describing the very same relationship that Jesus spoke about hundreds if not thousands of years later! More examples: "A Psalm of David. The LORD (Jehovah) says to my Lord (Adonai): "Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet." (Psalm 110:1) This is paralleled in Isaiah 6:1: In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord (Adonai), high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.Besides the obvious fact of this being a Messianic prophecy.. It clearly shows the Lord (Father) giving the (Son) authority in heaven as paralleled in Jesus statement: "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Matthew 28:18We also have the vision of Daniel 7:13: "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days (God) And was presented before Him. 14"And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.Let me add that the word "serve" used in this phrase is latreuó (λατρεa3;ω).. This word translates to "a service rendered to God". This phrase was never used in reference to an earthly ruler.. Only God. but wait.. We see that someone like a Son of Man came to the Ancient of Days and was given all authority and all the nations would serve (latreuó) Him? This is by far the best reference in the OT to the triune nature of God as we see 2 separate individuals both being worshipped as God.. Lets also see what Jesus says on this issue: the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" 62And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see the Son of Man coming on the right hand of the Power (Father) and coming with the clouds of heaven." (Mark 14:62) There is a plethora of examples found in the OT regarding the triune nature of God... If one is willing to look hard enough. The OT and NT is a beautiful representation of Gods ability to bind thousands of years of literature into one cohesive story..I gladly hold the BOP and challenge my opponent to look at these matters objectively.. It is my goal to show that: "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope" Romans 15:4 Back to Con Sources: 1). http://www.merriam-webster.com...2). https://carm.org...3).http://biblehub.com... 4). https://www.openbible.info...
