Trinitarian Verses?

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. . ."

Here we find that God was talking to somebody, but not necessarily to more than one person. Who was He talking to?

“After the earth was created, and the beasts upon it, the Father and Son carried out their purpose, which was designed before the fall of Satan, to make man in their own image. They had wrought together in the creation of the earth and every living thing upon it. And now God said to His Son, “Let us make man in our image.” – The Story of Redemption, p. 20-21.

Notice, there was no third Person there.

Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

(See The Great Commission text.)

Matthew 3:16,17 And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

(See Answer to the question: How many Beings were present at Christ's baptism?)

2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

In this verse, three powers are mentioned, but notice, only one of them is called God. One is the Lord, and the other is the Holy Ghost (spirit) through which we have communion or fellowship with God and Jesus. A little later we will see how other Bible passages explain this one very clearly.

(KJV) 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

(See: Is 1 John 5:7 Trinitarian?)

Portions of the above were excerpted from "Where is the third person?" by David Clayton.
