It is in every major event
in God's plan of Redemption
for mankind.
Muslims believe the bible?
but not the Holy Spirit of the Triune God?
NOT POSSIBLE.
Jehovah Witnesses?
Think the concept of the Trinity
was borrowed from the Pagans?
Hardly.
The Trinity
Notice the plurals: "us"; "our"
Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
Genesis 3:22
22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

2 Corinthians 13:14
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Got those from my favorite evangelist
that nobody else ever heard of apparently
Chuck Missler.
He said there were 29 of those.
Thats a bunch.
It wasnt the subject of what the commentary I was watching was on so he kinda just hit the highlights. Never heard of anything like that before in my life. Trinity? Sure. Presented like that? Never.
EVERY MAJOR EVENT
IN GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION FOR MAN.
ALL THREE PARTS
OF THE GODHEAD
(FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT)
ALL TAKE CREDIT FOR IT.
Just amazing.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said,
“Let us make mankind in our image,..."
COUPLE OF POINTS TO CONSIDER:
Ive had people try and tell me
that means that there is more than one God.
"Not quite." lol.
What it really means is that they don't understand the book and we should be able to explain it to them to clear up any confusion they may have about it.
Also?
It eliminates this:
"well it was just written by man"
Argument that people seem stuck on.
I don't know how many centuries separate all those verses, but Genesis or Job to Revelation in the first century is a substantial amount of time, now throw in distances and that not everyone who wrote their part of it had access to what everybody else who wrote their part of it had and the obvious fact is:
IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN
BACKDATED
TO MATCH UP
WITH WHAT A
CONSPIRITORIALY ORIENTED
GROUP OF WRITERS
WOULD WANT TO HAVE PRESENTED
FOR YOU.
So how did the book
come to be like that then?
Hum?
(1400 years,
40 different authors
three different languages,
three different continents,
one recurrent theme,
close to 64000 cross references
is simply not humanly possible.
It's gettin late in the game folks.
Ya might wanna reconsider a few things...
Eternity is a long time.
I hope you make an informed decision.
Just trying to help ya do so :-).
