Verse 18 of this Chapter it is a comprehensive assurance for all true believers that there is total victory at the end of any challenge they may encounter on this journey of a lifetime, because all the power has been given unto JESUS. Glory be to God.

Your right Bruce and Gaileeanna. Genesis1: 26 does state, Let US make man in OUR image. Good comment!

Always remember nothing is ever impossible for GOD! The trinity is Father God, son Jesus Christ and the Holy spirit. This is why the number 3 is extremely significant in the bible also numbers 1,7, and 144,000 as well.

Irene: Did God said,let Us make "Man" in Our Image? First: Did God say let Us Make or let me Make? Us: is more then One. Now: Are you saying, God said let Us Make Jesus in Our Image? Or,its Impossible for God to Make Man in His Image?

In order to understand any verse of scripture (including Gen. 1:26), we must "rightly divide the word of truth." First of all, God is a spirit, and since there is no image that can be made of a spirit, the words "our image" may refer to a future body that would belong to God. That is exactly who Jesus Christ was, the image of the invisible God ( Col. 1:15). cont.

Irene: God said let "Us"make man in "Our Image" after" Our Likeness" The Trinity is God. Without any 1 of The Three there would be no God: Genesis1:26-27/ Ever learning and never able to come to The Knowledge of The Truth.---But Evil man and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2Timothy 3:7, 13.

Thank-you and GOD BLESS YOU for your support in the truth of God's word - Steven B.!

Has anyone researched the trinity? the origin of it? It BEGAN in 325 A.D. with Roman Emp. Constantine and the Roman Pope. Jesus name baptism began in ca. 30-33 A.D. Acts2:38 - nearly300 yrs. before the trinity.

When Jesus spoke the words in Matthew 28, it was with clear intention of the word "name" that he did so. The name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is singular. Notice he did not use the word "names". He gave Peter the keys to the kingdom, and on the Day of Pentecost, Peter and those in the Upper Room were filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 spells out the formula for believers to follow.

Matthew 28: 18- Jesus said: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Our Lord Jesus has risen from the dead and He will come back again. Since He has ALL powers, what is there too hard for Him to do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He has power to save our sin-soaked souls. He has power to heal. He has power to provide for ALL our needs. All hail Jesus!

V.19- If you don't listen to Christ Himself, you can make up any story you want. He'll allow it. With 30000 religions in the world, and variations of each, what's one more. 'Til He comes again.

2nd Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. You say God is one then you say there is three you don't know what you believe. I know what the scripture the says and God does not need an interpreter.

There is one God, Father, Son ,Holy Ghost, The Trinity, v. 19. Pretty plain. It states in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I n the name of, with which some struggle, redundant to put in the name of for each person of the God Head. Anyone understanding english knows that only one "in the name of" is needed to include all three beings of the God Head. Struggle at a knat, swallow the camel.

James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: I read matthew 28:19 and it says in the name and that name is Jesus.
When you write a check you don't write father but you got put your name or it will not be cashed.there is power in the name of Jesus not titles . Read 1stCorinthians 12:13.

Bible Reader, read Hebrews 10:12. Jesus is sitting on the right hand of The Father. Our high priest and His Father. Also, Matthew 28:19 states Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. By Jesus Christ himself. Couldn't be clearer. Read John 17:3, the Lord's prayer.

Amen Irene 123!!!!
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND HIS NAME JESUS, NOT TWO OR THREE IN THE GODHEAD!!
DEUTERONOMY 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Revation 4:2
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Read John 14:16-26. The scriptures will help you.

No where in the Bible does it say God is a - 'person'; it DOES say Jn. 4:24 and Rom. 8:16. Jesus very words I'm Matt. 28:19 do not say there are 3 persons NOR even 3 spirits; He said baptizing them in the NAME (not names). Acts 2:38 tells us what that name is. Also does Acts 4:12, also does Philippians 2:9-11; Isa.45:23. Jesus was the only 'person'.

It's is one God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, just as Jesus Christ is trying to tell you. I and the Father are one, just like He says. Three persons working together for our good. John 14 states the Comforter will come. Jesus says He will be in you and He will be around. Never leave you. He, a distinct person. Not thing. He covered Jesus without measure. Not hard to see. God Bless YOR confusion.

It us one God. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Jesus said so. He's the one who said 3 in one. It's in black and white. And red. Matt. 17, the cloud moved over and said, this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. Hear ye him. Father and son. One God. Not hard to see and understand. Christ's throne is in the Father's throne. Separate thrones together. Jesus is sitting on the Father's right hand.

The Lord just gave me an understanding of why Trinitarians WON'T (refuse) to believe in all the scriptures that proclaim - ONE GOD; in Acts 2:38 (baptized in the NAME of ... ) there are a LOT of things we are shown we must 'do' (Jas. ch. 2) to obey His commandments. People want to go their own way - and still live for God. God's not 'blind' to us.

Vickie, I used to be bothered about Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Couldn't figure it out in my head. Confused. One God. What in the world. Then reading the scriptures, it became clear to me how they could be together. Jesus says Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Jesus is the authority at this time. As Jesus said there are 3, he is the authority.v. 20 to do as we are commanded. We are to follow His commands

God Bless you, Vicki; Stand where you are - Acts2:38

This whole concept of the Trinity is new and foreign to me. In Matt. 28 where it says two times that the disciples "worshiped" the resurrected Jesus. I was taught from scripture there is "only one God". I do believe Jesus is God's only-begotten son. That he lived and died for our sins. I also believe there is only one way to God through Jesus Christ. I also now believe Jesus is reigning in Heaven

Rick and Irene, for your clarification, read John 14:23 to the end. This and Matt. 28:19 should help you see Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. God Bless.

Amen, Rick D. - Matt. 28:19, Lk. 24:47; these were spoken by Jesus, and are 'witnesses' of each other. "..... Baptizing them in the Name of ..... "; " ..... repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name ..... "; Matt. 18:16 - " ..... that in the mouth of two or three witnesses ..... "; 2 Cor. 13:1 - " ..... in the mouth of two or three witnesses ..... "; 1Tim. 5:19.

Rick:John1:1-14: Word was God, the Word was made flesh, His Name is Jesus without His Blood there is no salvation. 1John 1:7. There are three in heaven The Father The Word and The Holy Ghost:1John5:7. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:1John5:1.called: John 6:44/ washed:1John1:9/ will be: Matthew 3:11. Changed: 2Corinthians5:17. You will know! impossible not to know!

Amen Jesus tried to make this simple for us but the devil knows if he can keep you from being baptized in that singular all powerful only saving name of Jesus he can keep from being saved Acts 4:12 none other name under heaven whereby ye must be saved Colossians 3:17 Do all in the name of Jesus .
