Throughout the centuries, many examples are given to explain how the Most High can be three-in-one. But the best example is given by the Most High Himself!
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,
Messian Dread
