THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD IS ONE.
Isaiah 45:22 – “…for I am God and there is none else.”
Isaiah 45:5 – “…there is none else, there is no God beside me…”
Isaiah 44:6 – “…I am the first…beside me there is no God.”
1 Timothy 2:5 – “For there is ONE God…”
1 Corinthians 8:4 – “…a false god is nothing…and there is no other God but one.”
Deuteronomy 6:4 – “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is ONE Lord.”
Ephesians 4:5 – “ONE Lord, one faith, one baptism.”
Deuteronomy 6:4 – “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is ONE Lord.”
The literal translation of this would be:
4.
|8085| Hear,
|3478| O Israel,
|3068| Yahweh,
|0430| our God,
|3068| {is} Yahweh
|0259| one.
Here the name of God is mentioned three times, and the word translated one (echad) expresses a compound unity
Strong's Number: 259
Transliterated: 'echad
Phonetic: ekh-awd'
Text: a numeral from 258; properly, united, i.e. one; or (as an ordinal) first: --a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, [dai-]ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together,
example as in the expressions ''one cluster of grapes,'' ''the congregation was assembled as one man,'' and again, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.''
The Hebrew word one (yacheed), which expresses absolute unity, is never once used to express the unity of the Godhead.
