60 questions on the mightiness (with scriptural answers)

1. Is the word trinity in the Scriptures? No.

2. Do the Scriptures say that there are three persons in the Mightiness? No.

3. Do the Scriptures speak of the Father, Son, and Ruach HaKadosh? Yes.

4. Do these titles as used in Mattityahu 28:19 mean that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Mightiness? No, they refer to three offices, roles, or relationship to humanity.

5. Do the Scriptures use the word three in reference to Elohim? Only one verse in the entire Scriptures does so-I Yochanan 5:7. It speaks of the Father, the Word (Aleph Tav), and the Ruach HaKadosh, and it concludes by saying, "These three are one." Furthermore, this verse does not exist in the oldest manuscripts or codexes.

6. Do the Scriptures use the word “one” in reference to Elohim? Yes, many times. For example, see Zechariah 14:9; Malachi 2:10; Mattityahu 23:9; Mark 12:29, 32; Yochanan 8:41; 10:30; Romans 3:30; I Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; I Timothy 2:5; Ya`akov 2:19.

7. Can the mystery of the Mightiness be understood? Yes. Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.

8. Has the Nazarene Yisraelite only one Heavenly Father? Yes. Mattityahu 23:9.

9. Then why did Yahushua say to Philip, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (Yochanan 14:39)? Because Yahushua is the express image of Elohim's person. Hebrews 1:3. The Greek word for person in this verse literally means "substance."

10. Do the Scriptures say that there are two persons in the Mightiness? No.

11. Do the Scriptures say that all the Mightiness is revealed in one person? Yes, in Yahushua HaMashiach. II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:19; 2:9; Hebrews 1:3.

13. Who is the Father? The Father is the one El, particularly as revealed in parental relationship to humanity. Devarim 32:6; Malachi 2:10.

14. Where was Elohim the Father while Yahushua was on earth? The Father was in HaMashiach. Yochanan 14:10; II Corinthians 5:19. He was also in the heavens, for Elohim is omnipresent.

41. Do the Scriptures say that Elohim alone treads upon the waves of the sea? Yes. Job 9:8

42. Why, then, was Yahushua able to walk upon the Sea of Galilee (Mattityahu 14:25)? Because He is Elohim the Creator. Colossians 1:16.

43. Is YHWH the only one who can forgive sin? Yes. Yesha`Yahu 43:25; Mark 2:7.

45. Is Yahushua the true El? Yes. I Yochanan 5:20.

46. If YHWH and the Ruach HaKadosh are two separate persons, which was the Father of HaMashiach? Mattityahu 1:20 says that the Ruach HaKadosh was the Father, while Romans 15:6, II Corinthians 11:31, and Ephesians 1:3 say that YHWH Elohim was the Father. There is no contradiction when we realize that Elohim the Father and the Ruach HaKadosh are one and the same Spirit. Mattityahu 10:20; Ephesians 4:4; I Corinthians 3:16.

47. When Sha’ul asked the Master who He was, what was the answer? "I am Yahushua." Acts 9:5.

48. When Stephen was dying, did he call Elohim Yahushua? Yes. Acts 7:59.

50. How could Yahushua be the Savior, when YHWH the Father said in Yesha`Yahu 43:11, "Beside me there is no Savior?" Because "YHWH was in HaMashiach, reconciling the world unto himself." II Corinthians 5:19.

51. Do the Scriptures say that Yahushua was Elohim with us? Yes. Mattityahu 1:23.

52. Did Yahushua ever say, "I and my Father are one?" Yes. Yochanan 10:30.

53. Can it be proved scripturally that Yahushua and the Father are one in the same sense that husband and wife are one? No. The Mightiness (YAH-head) was never compared to the relationship of a husband and wife. Yahushua identified Himself with the Father in a way that husband and wife cannot be identified with each other. Yochanan 14:9-11.

54. Do the Scriptures say that there is only one wise Elohim? Yes. Jude 25.

55. Do the Scriptures call the Ruach HaKadosh a second or third person in the Mightiness? No. The Ruach HaKadosh is the one Spirit of YHWH, the one Elohim Himself at work in our lives. Yochanan 4:24; I Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19; 12:13.

56. Can Trinitarians show that three divine persons were present when Yahushua was immersed by Yochanan? Absolutely not. The one, omnipresent Elohim used three simultaneous manifestations. Only one divine person was present--Yahushua HaMashiach, the Master.

57. Then what were the other two of whom Trinitarians speak? One was a voice from heaven; the other was the Spirit of Elohim in the form of a dove. Mattityahu 3:16-17.

58. What did the voice say at Yahushua's immersion? "Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mark 1:11. As the Son of YHWH, Yahushua was the one Elohim incarnate. (YHWH in the flesh)

59. Do the Scriptures say that YHWH shed His blood and that YHWH laid down His life for us? Yes. Acts 20:28; I Yochanan 3:16. YHWH was able to do this because He had taken upon Himself a human body.

60. The Scriptures says that YHWH is coming back with all his saints (Zechariah 14:5) and also that Yahushua is coming back with all his saints (I Thessalonians 3:13). Are two coming back? No. Only one is coming back--our great El and Savior, Yahushua HaMashiach. Titus 2:13.

Finally, I want to add that the very name of Elohim reveals His oneness. The name יהוה (yod, hey, vav, hey) is a picture in Hebrew. Yod is the picture of a hand. Hey is beholden. Vav is a nail. It is as if the name YHWH means “Behold the nail-scarred hand”
