4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Believing and understanding that God is one is central to the Christian faith. The verses above testify to that. The trinity doctrine says there is one God in three persons and I believe it with all my heart. I believe that scripture has shown this to be true. The realization for me, that Jesus was and is God, was the catalyst to my conversion. I have genuine faith that the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God - they are one God.

Maureen.......thanks for the thoughtful response I too believe that their is one God. God the Father.....Jesus Christ.....and the Holy Ghost.....they are one God.

How are they one?

From John Ch. 17

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
