#118 Understanding the Trinity, part Three, The Trinity Throughout the Bible

To many, the Trinity is especially hard to understand in the Old Testament, particularly when we look at the Shema, which says “our God is One.” How can that key belief support the idea of the Trinity?

In this lesson you’ll see how the very words themselves support it fully in that in Hebrew, both “God” and the word “One” are plural nouns, and not only is the word “God, Elohim” the plural noun used here but it is used 2600 times in the Old Testament. In addition to showing this important word study, we’ll also show how the clear Biblical statement that God the Father cannot be seen with the contrasting statements that people saw and talked to God is explained by the Trinity (see the lesson for the full explanation). The lesson also covers the different ways the Holy Spirit was/is involved with believers.
