Many Trinitarians struggle to grasp how God can be One while also being called the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in different contexts. They assume these must be three distinct persons because of how the terms are used in Scripture. However, this can be explained logically and biblically in a way that makes sense.

1. Understanding the Difference Between “Who God Is” and “What God Does”

• Who is God? → He is One (Deuteronomy 6:4).
• What does God do? → He reveals Himself in different roles (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
• These are titles or manifestations, not separate persons.

Example: A Single Person with Different Roles

Think about yourself. You can be:

• A father to your children.
• A son to your parents.
• A worker at your job.

These are all roles you have, but you are still one person. The same is true for God.

2. God Is a Spirit and He Is Holy → That Means He IS the Holy Spirit

Before God created anything, what was He?
John 4:24 – “God is a Spirit.”
Leviticus 11:44 – “For I am holy.”

So before creation, God was simply the Holy Spirit. There was no “Father” or “Son” yet because those are titles that describe God’s actions.

• God became “Father” when He created.
• God became “Son” when He took on flesh as Jesus Christ.
• God remained the Holy Spirit because He is always Spirit.

Example: A Teacher Becomes a Principal

Imagine a teacher who works in a school.

• At first, he is just a teacher.
• Later, he becomes a principal (a new title based on what he does).
• But he is still the same person.

God was always the Holy Spirit, but when He created mankind, He became the Father. When He came in flesh, He was called the Son.

3. The Father and the Holy Spirit Are Not Two Separate Persons

Many Trinitarians believe that the Father and the Holy Spirit are separate persons. But let’s check the Bible:

Matthew 1:18 (KJV)
“Mary was found with child of the Holy Ghost.”

Luke 1:35 (KJV)
“The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”

So, who is the Father of Jesus?

• If the Father and the Holy Spirit are separate persons, then the Holy Spirit is actually Jesus’ Father.
• But Trinitarians say the Father is Jesus’ Father.
• This only makes sense if the Father and the Holy Spirit are the same being.

Example: A Man is Both a CEO and an Investor

• A man starts a company (He is the Founder).
• He invests money into it (He is the Investor).
• He manages the company daily (He is the CEO).

He has different titles, but he is the same person.
Likewise, the Father and the Holy Spirit are not two persons—they are just different roles of the One God.

4. The “Son” Is the Flesh, Not a Separate Person

The Son of God does not mean a second divine person. It refers to the human body that God took on.

1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
“God was manifest in the flesh…”

John 1:14 (KJV)
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given… and his name shall be called… The mighty God, The everlasting Father.”

Jesus is not a separate person from the Father—He IS the Father manifested in the flesh.

Example: Water in Different Forms

Water can exist in three forms:

1. Liquid (Water)
2. Solid (Ice)
3. Gas (Steam)

Each has a different form, but it is still H₂O.
In the same way, Jesus is God in a different form (flesh), but He is still the same God.

5. In the End, the Son Will Be Subject to the Father

Many Trinitarians argue that Jesus prayed to the Father and was subject to Him. But the Bible explains why:

Philippians 2:7-8 (KJV)
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death…”

1 Corinthians 15:28 (KJV)
“And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”

• Jesus, in His humanity, had to pray, obey, and submit as an example for us.
• But once His mission is complete, the Sonship (His role as a man) will be fully submitted to God, and God will be ALL in ALL.

Example: A Soldier Submitting to a General

• A general goes undercover as a soldier to save his men.
• While undercover, he follows orders like any other soldier.
• But once the mission is over, he returns to his full authority as the general.

Jesus humbled Himself as a man, but in the end, He will be fully revealed as the Almighty God (Revelation 1:8).

Summary for a Trinitarian

• God is One Spirit (John 4:24), and that Spirit is Holy → God is the Holy Spirit.
• God became “Father” when He created and became “Son” when He took on flesh.
• The Holy Spirit and the Father are the same Being (Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:35).
• The Son is not a separate person, but the human body of God (1 Timothy 3:16, John 1:14).
• In the end, the Sonship will submit to the Father, and God will be ALL in ALL (1 Corinthians 15:28).

There are not three persons—just One God revealed in different ways!
