The article is an outline of "The Biblical Basis of the Doctrine of the Trinity."




"Over 7000 times God speaks or is spoken of with singular pronouns (I, He, etc.); but this is proper because God is a single individual being; thus these singular forms do not disprove that God exists as three "persons" as long as these persons are NOT separate beings/
Trinitarians will say a 'nature' cannot pray or talk, only 'persons' can. I've asked them if this is the case then who said "Let there be light" or who was the one who spoke the 10 commandments from Mount Sinai to the Israelites in the wilderness. They say, God spoke. Then I'll ask if God can speak as a collective of the persons. They skirt around this and usually don't answer it.

None of them have explained to me how God can say "I AM" as one being unless it is the collective voice of the persons of the Trinity speaking as one. And if that was the case then 'WE ARE' would be the more appropriate wording. They are masters at equivocating the word, God.
