TRIUNE GOD

IDENTICAL TRIPLETS

1. God is one in essence/nature.

Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! Dt 6:4

“echad”, is an unified one, illustrating that God is a Trinitarian God.    Gen 2:24  (one flesh but two persons)

whereas the word “yachid”  is an absolute numeric one, only one, solitary,   Gen 22:16    (only son).

1.  Identical Triplets are one in essence/nature.

Identical in gender, DNA, characteristics and features before

epigenetic modification (responsible for differences in traits by turning on or off certain genes).

One egg / one sperm- when united and fertilized become a

zygote;  if this divides and then the second one divides again

three identical zygotes/triplets are formed sharing identical dna, gender, characteristics and features.

 2.  God is three in persons.

Persons are who God is.  Qualities that persons have: they love _{Jn 3:16}; can be grieved _{Eph 4:30}; have their own wills _{Lk 22:42;} can be just _{2 Th 1:6}, kind _{Ro 11:22} and compassionate _{Ps 103:8}.

Persons will refer to themselves as “I”: God the Father can say ‘I’  _{Jn 12:28};  the Son can say ‘I’  _{Jn 17:4};  the Spirit can say ‘I’  _{Ac 13:2}.  

2.  Identical Triplets are three in persons.

Each person has his own will with identical DNA.

3.  Each person is fully God, and equal in essence. 

i.e.) Father is God _{Gal 4:6}.  Jesus is fully God _{Col 2:9} not a part that makes one God (i.e. 1/3 God + 1/3 God + 1/3 God = 1 God) but (1 God x 1 God x 1 God = 1 God) _{Jn 5:18};_{1 Pe 1:2;} ( _{Jn 1:1,14}, _{Jn 20:28,29;} ) Holy Spirit is God ( _{Ac 5:3}, _{Ac 5:4}).                                Correct Math: 1 person + 1 person + 1 person = 1 God

or 3 persons = 1 God

3.  Each triplet is fully a complete person and equal in essence.

Since all three have identical DNA, they are equal in essence.

4.  All three persons are distinct Persons:                                                                             

Father speaking; Jesus coming up out of the water; Holy Spirit like a dove coming upon Jesus _{Mt 3:16,17}.

Distinct Roles:

Creation: Father plans _{Gen 1:26}, Jesus creates _{Col 1:16}, and Holy Spirit brings life into the world _{Job 33:4}.

Salvation: Father plans, Jesus is the sacrifice and Holy Spirit sanctifies _{1 Pe 1:2}.

4.  All three persons are distinct.

At conception all three are identical.

After epigenetic modification all three persons are distinct.
