https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 4 * BOOK 57 1 John 5:1-7 - Part 2 "Was Jesus a part of the Trinity?" "Was He God?" "Was the Holy Spirit, God?" I John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, (which according to John’s Gospel is God the Son) and the Holy Ghost: (Spirit) and these three are one."Is the Triune God what we claim it is and how can we show it from Scripture that we have all three as God. The Holy Spirit has been with our Bible from chapter 1 of Genesis, starting at verse 1. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning (whenever it was) God created the heaven and the earth." All the Bible says is that "In the beginning God...." The Triune God, that’s the word Elohim in the Hebrew and Elohim is a plural word. All right, so, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Verse 2. Genesis 1:2 Now we’ve studied other verses where it shows so plainly that God the Son called it into being, but nevertheless, I wanted to establish first right here in Genesis that the Holy Spirit was a Person of the Godhead. All right, now let’s come all the way up to Exodus chapter 3. Exodus chapter 3, Romans chapter 3, Ephesians chapter 3, those are all tremendous chapters. All right, now in Exodus chapter 3, then, we have Moses approaching the burning bush. 6. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. LORD (see? Now we saw in Genesis chapter 1, God the Holy Spirit moving on the face of the deep. But here we’re dealing with God the Son. All right, come all the way down to verse 13. 14. And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15. And God said.…" God the Son has taken on human flesh as we saw in the last program – in the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, made under the Law to fulfill the Old Testament promises of being the Messiah and the King of Israel. So let’s just drop in at verse 52. John 8:52-53 53. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? All right then come on down to verse 56, just for sake of time, and Jesus responds with: John 8:56 John 8:57-58a 58. Jesus said unto them,.…" It’s God the Son. John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." He was the pre-eternal, pre-existent Son of God, right along with the Holy Spirit - and now we’ve got the third One, which One? The Father. All right, now let’s chase down a few verses on the Father. Isaiah chapter 9, and we’ll drop in at verse 6. Isaiah 9:6a "For unto us (the Nation of Israel) a child is born, (now this, of course, is prophecy leaping over to Bethlehem) unto us a son is given:.…" Primarily to the Nation of Israel, in His earthly ministry. All right, and so He gave to the Nation of Israel Jesus the Christ, the Redeemer, the Messiah, the Son of God. Isaiah 9:6b Isaiah 9:6c mighty God, (The Mighty Elohim!) Father,.…" All names of Deity but it’s going to be epitomized in God the Son, the King. Isaiah 9:7a Isaiah 9:7b Isaiah 11:1 Isaiah 11:2a The Holy Spirit and all the seven attributes of the Spirit will be on this Branch, or God the Son. All right, then let’s go then, if you will, to Luke chapter 3 and we’re going to look at the physical side. Luke chapter 3, starting at verse 23 Luke 3:23 Luke 3:31b "…which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David," Now you’ve got to remember this genealogy is going from Christ back. Nathan. Solomon, and these are both sons of Bathsheba remember. The water. All right now, Nathan: "…which was the son of David, 32. Which was the son of Jesse,.…" "Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 38. (who came from God.) Born of water in the physical element but born of blood by virtue of His birth from God Himself. Verse 15. Matthew 3:15a Matthew 3:16 Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:" The same Spirit we saw in the Old Testament moving upon the face of the waters in Genesis 1, the same Spirit that comes upon the Branch in Isaiah chapter 11. The same Spirit of God that now makes His appearance "descending" on God the Son in the form of a "dove and lighting upon him." Matthew 3:17 Now there you’ve got all three Persons of the Triune God. "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;" Now there you have the Father and the Son. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
