Use of the Term Godhead Acts 17:29 “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.” Rom. 1:20 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” Col. 2:9 “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”

  4. Three Members of Godhead Matt.28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” I Cor. 12:3 (ESV) “Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.” II Cor. 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.

  10. There is One God • New Testament • Mark 12:29 “hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:” quote of Deut. 6:4 • 1 Tim. 2:5a “for there is one God” Monotheism Polytheism

  11. Plurality in The Godhead Gen. 1:1 “God” - is plural Gen. 1:26 “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” “us” is plural Godhead was co-operating in creation of man Man is the product of all persons of Godhead How can the “one” God be a Trinity ?

  12. Plurality in The Godhead Subordination All partake of the Divine Nature Jesus said “the Father is greater than I” Jn.14:28 John 5:30 “…I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”

  13. Plurality in The Godhead Subordination He who sends is greater than he who is sent. God sent Christ Christ sent the Spirit Jn. 13:16 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.” John 14:26 “But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,…

  14. Plurality in The Godhead Subordination He who sends is greater than he who is sent. God sent Christ Christ sent the Spirit Jn. 16:7 “Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.”

  15. Plurality in The Godhead Subordination He who sends is greater than he who is sent. God sent Christ Christ sent the Spirit Jn. 16:13-14 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you.”

  16. Trinity is Proper understanding of Godhead Word Trinity Means three-fold Three fold manifestation of God. Triune God Baptism of Christ - Matt. 3:13-18 God the Father speaks from Heaven Jesus the Son is being baptized Spirit descends in the form of a dove Great Commission - Matt. 28:19 Father, Son and the Holy Spirit

  17. The Father is not God as such, for God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Son is not God as such, for God is Father, Son and Holy spirit. The Holy Spirit is not God as such, for God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The three are equal. There is one God and he is the one and only God (undivided and indivisible). God is not three and one, but three in one. Godhead - Trinity
