Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Jesus is God made visible with a body.
Jesus is God the Father come to earth as man.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
That fire in Jesus' eyes is the Spirit of God.Revelation 1:14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.
In english, sure. But I'm not talking about English though, you dummy. I'm talking about in the Hebrew, you know, the language the Old Testament was originally written in.
No such thing as three different persons making one God.

It means that the Bible says that God is a plurality.
Other evidence in the Bible and elsewhere is used to show that God is Triune.
The point I was trying to make wasn't that He was Triune based on that verse, but that based on that verse, we know He is a plurality and not a singularity as you claim.
I'm showing you that your position is wrong, not necessarily that my position is right.

All things were created by God the Father, Malachi 2:10
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Now, who created everything, God the Father, or the Son?
Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Yes, the English translation of scripture uses the singular form of the word God.
This does not change the FACT that the Hebrew uses the plural form of the word for God. And since HEBREW was the language the Old Testament was written in originally, it has priority for the intended meaning.
This does not change the FACT that God (the being, not the word "God") is a plurality, based on the FACT that the Hebrew uses not once or twice but literally THOUSANDS OF TIMES the plural form of Eloah when referring to God, "Elohim."
"One" can mean a plurality. And in the case of the Shema Yisrael, "one" is used to describe the plurality of God, because it's describing a unity, not a singularity. The same with man and woman becoming "one flesh," two persons becoming a plurality of one.
He doesn't say He is three separate and different Persons making one God.
No, GT, it's not, and saying it's the same is presenting a false dichotomy, because it assumes that either your position or my position is correct, and that there are no other position to consider, which is clearly false, as both you AND I could be wrong, though not likely.
That information you gave does not mean God is three different and separate people making one God.
What it DOES mean is that your claim, "God is singular," is false, because the Bible shows God to be a plurality from the first verse in the Bible.
God being triune is a separate argument altogether, but in order to have the possibility of even making the argument, you have to be shown that God is not singular in nature, like Allah is, but plural in nature, such that He is multiple Persons as the one God.
