“A
friend of mine says there is no trinity as such, all are a
manifestation of one God. Is this Jesus only?..”
Bill/
Phoenix, Arizona U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
This is a third century heresy, known as Modalism. Sabellius*, taught taught that, The Father was the manifestation of
God the creator and giver of the commandments, or laws. The Son was
in incarnation and the work of redemption. The Holy Spirit, was at
work in grace, regeneration, and sanctification.
*Sabellius was a theologian and priest from the 3rd
century. He denied the trinity, and was, excommunicated by council in
Alexandria.
Now, what does The Word tell us about The Trinity?

Father and The Son.

who confesses The Son has The Father also.

beginning. If you do, you will continue to live in fellowship with
The Son and with The Father.

The Spirit teaches you all things, and what He teaches is true- it is
not a lie. So continue in what He has taught you, and continue to
live in Christ.

Father, The Word, and The Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

And there are three that bear witness in earth, The Spirit, and
The Water, and The Blood: and these three agree in one.

Romans
12:1,2 NLT
1
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your
bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a
living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will find acceptable. This is
truly the way to worship Him.
2
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God
transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then
you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and
pleasing and perfect.
