"...in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
Matthew 28:19

I. The doctrine of the Trinity (or, Godhead) – attacked by cults (such
as the Watchtower Society,
or Jehovah's Witnesses) so that they can also deny the deity of Jesus
– is one of the most basic
fundamentals of Christianity.
A. Although the word "trinity" is not in the Bible, the concept of
the three-in-one, the triune
God, is. The term "Godhead," referring to the three-in-one, ca
n be found in Acts 17:29
and Colossians 2:9. (Many other words or concepts "not in the
Bible" are scriptural
nonetheless: i.e., theology, Bible, etc.)
Acts 17:29
Colossians 2:9
B. The doctrine of the Godhead can be summed up in the literal Hebre
w translation of one verse.
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our Gods (
plural) is Jehovah a unity."
II. The concept of the Godhead (Trinity) is evident in scripture as early
as the first chapter of the
book of Genesis.
A. The Hebrew word Elohim (translated "God" in Genesis 1:1) actua
lly indicates more than
one divine personality. This same plural form is used over 2
,500 times in the Old Testament.
B. In the account of creation recorded in the book of Genesis God
speaks plurally of His
own Person.
Genesis 1:26, 27 (See also Genesis 3:22; 11:7; Isaia
h 6:3, 8.) "Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness ... So God created
man in His own image, in the image of God created He him."
III. Even the Old Testament makes definite reference both to the Son and
to the Holy Spirit.
Proverbs 30:4
Isaiah 11:2 "... the Spirit ... the Lord ... Him"
Isaiah 42:1 "My Servant ... I ... My Spirit ... upon Him"
Isaiah 48:16 "The Lord God ... His Spirit ... sent Me"
Isaiah 61:1 "Spirit of the Lord God ... upon Me ... the Lo
rd"
Isaiah 63:9 "He ...the Angel of His Presence ... His Holy
Spirit"
Ezekiel 36:26, 27
IV. Close examination of the following New Testament scriptures will make
obvious to any
student of the Bible that the doctrine of the Godhead is truth.

t ... Jesus"
