Throughout the history of
Christianity, people have been continually
debating the question about the Nature of God. One
says: "God is One", and a second person
will say: "God is Three". A third person
will come up and say "God is
Three-in-One", or: a Trinity! Orthodox
Christianity has always acknowledged God to be a
Trinity. The Ethiopian Emperor's name
"Selassie", for example, means
"Trinity". Here is an old Ethiopian
picture of the Trinity: 
A question that is directly related to this
debate, is the question of the nature of Jesus
Christ Himself. Some people claim, that He is not
God but a created being. And they usually point
out to a number of Bible scriptures that say
"God is One" while they point out to
what seems to be a physical impossibility: 1+1+1
can never be 1, they say. And while we have a
Father, a Son and a Spirit, they will say that
only the Father is God.
Is this an important issue? Absolutely.
If Jesus is not God, than he is a created
being, for only God is the Creator. And if Jesus
is a created being, then this means that a created
being can save another created being. And if a
created being can safe another created being, this
means that salvation can be achieved without
direct action by Jah Himself!
But for now, let's turn to the debate and
consider how people who oppose the Deity of Jesus
Christ say that 1+1+1 can never be 1 according to
physical laws.
So, is that true? And did Jah not give us a
clue to His nature being a Trinity?
I believe, that in the debate about the
Trinity, one aspect or argument if you will is
rarely if ever debated. And that argument is one
given by the Creator Himself!
According to the Bible, we as humans are
created "in the Image of God". This
means, that Jah used Himself as a blueprint when
He created us. Something of His nature can be seen
back within our human nature, even in our fallen sinful
state.
When Jah is a Trinity, would it be a surprise
for you to find out, that you too are a
trinity?
When Jah created us, He created us in three
aspects. One aspect is seen by everyone, a second
aspect is acknowledged by most and a third aspect
will only "activate" after we have
become born again while most people will mistake
it for the second aspect.
Sounds too vague? Let me mention the three
aspects.
They are body, soul and spirit!
Our body or flesh is seen by everyone, our soul
is acknowledged by most and our spirit will only
become alive after we're born again while most
people will mistake the spirit for the soul.
So yes, Jah is definitely a Trinity, as He
showed in what He himself calls "His
Image", namely: we!
And so yes, Jesus Christ is definitely God,
thus showing that only JAH can save us. It's not
for nothing, that Jesus means "Jah is our
Saviour".
One Love,
