The Holy Trinity: 1+1+1=1 - Pastor Joseph Clark
God reveals himself to us in three persons. God the Father. God the Son. God the Holy Spirit. One God. Three persons in one God. The Holy Spirit tells us this himself throughout His Word, not limited to:

“I and the Father are one.”
- John 10:30

“Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.”
- John 14:9-11

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
- Matthew 28:19

There is much confusion about The Holy Trinity. The enemy attacks the Holy Trinity in the form of corrupt doctrine of, so called, Christian denominations who guide their fellowship away from the saving grace of Jesus Christ, insisting on salvation through works, degrees, levels of promotion throughout a course of rituals. These cults attack God’s children by attempting to discredit the truth and reality of The Holy Trinity. They say “The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible! They are right, the word does not appear in The Bible. So what? Trinity is a descriptive word meaning ‘of three’. The English word "Trinity" comes from Latin "Trinitas", meaning "the number three". Does the fact that we use this descriptive to refer to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, somehow nullify their presence? No, it does not. For that matter, the word Rapture (to be caught up or carried away) does not appear in the Bible, and yet Christ describes in detail his coming for the church to lift her up into the Heavens. Does the fact that we assign the descriptive term ‘rapture’, not to be found in the Bible, nullify what Christ has promised? Once again, these are weak arguments by cults mislead by the enemy.
I have heard The Holy Spirit compared to Water. It comes in three forms, liquid, vapor, and solid (ice), but it is all one water. I have heard believers criticize that analogy. What is of importance is that we believe that God is the authority, the Bible is the authoritative standard, and we accept and believe that it is interpreted as God intended.

I personally feel that Athanasius defined it best:
“That we worship one God in Trinity and the Trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence.”
