Questions Concerning the Trinity

In this section, we will examine all of the “evidence” that is often used to prove that God is a trinity. In other words, when the Bible writers refer to "God" are they referring to a unity of three co-equal and co-eternal beings (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), or are they referring to God (the Father) who has a divine Son (Jesus) with whom He shares His holy Spirit with and who in turn shares this Spirit with us by He (Jesus) Himself dwelling in us? 

With that said, we will not examine verses trinitarians use to establish that Jesus is God since we agree He is uncreated and divine. We will however examine verses that are used in an attempt to prove that Jesus is “the Most High God” or “the only true God.” In Mark 5:7, an unclean spirit admits that Jesus is the "Son of the Most High God." And in prayer to His Father, Jesus Himself said, "This is eternal life, that they may know You [the Father], the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (Luke 17:3). Jesus certainly could not be the Most High God while His Father is “The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory” (Ephesians 1:17).
