Appreciating God's Love'
Trinity - the Triune Godhead
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three (Trinity) are one. (KJV)
God is one. He reveals Himself to men as 3 persons in the Triune Godhead - the Father, the Word (Son) and the Holy Spirit (Helper) so that we can learn from Him how to be a loving father, an obedient son and a helper or comforter to others.
Matthew 3:16-17 When He had been baptized, Jesus (Son) came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice (of the Father) came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Trinity in Creation
Gen 1:2-3 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
In the OT, we can see the Triune Godhead working together in Genesis as the Spirit of God, the Father (God) and the spoken Word of God.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
Triune Godhead created Man
Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us (Trinity) make man in Our (Trinity) image, according to Our (Trinity) likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
Noahic Covenant
Gen 8:20; 9:3-4 "Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.
After the deluge, the Triune God made the covenant with Noah to use only clean animals to sacrifice to Him. However, men can eat all meat (both clean and unclean) as food.
Note Since all men are the descendants of Noah, today, we can still find pagans worshipping 3 idols or images as their Triune god.
Righteousness by Faith
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
In this Noahic covenant, Abraham believed the God of Noah (the Triune Godhead or Trinity) and He accounted to him righteous.
Then, He told Abraham to offer clean animals as sacrifices to Him.
Gen 15:9 So He said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
Exo 3:6a Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father— the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"
After Abraham was found faithful and accounted righteous, the Triune God of Noah (Yahweh) made a Covenant with him that his descendants will inherit the Promised land.
The God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and the Jews was the same Triune Godhead (Yahweh) - comprising the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Yahweh (YHWH) is the Hebrew word for God or the Triune Godhead in the OT.
The Triune God (Yahweh) also revealed Himself as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
The Antichrist and the Satanic False Yahweh
1 John 4:2-3 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
The Priesthood and the Jews having killed and rejected Jesus as the Word made flesh are now the antichrists. They are now blind and the Yahweh they worship is the false and Satanic Yahweh (without the Word).
Christians must not participate in any of the Satanic religious Jewish feasts, celebrations or functions, otherwise they may lose their salvation.
Romans 11:7, 25 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded... For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
