Are Jesus Christ and Almighty God Part of a Trinity?—-1 Timothy
It is frequently asserted by Bible teachers that Jesus Christ Is Almighty God. If this is so, then we should find plenty of scriptural evidence to support it. Do we? Since 1 Timothy was written by Bible scholar and teacher Paul to counter false teachers and false teachings, let’s see what it says.
“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope” (1:1 NIV). God and Christ are clearly portrayed as two separate and distinct individuals. As if this is not enough, it is further emphasized in verse 2:
“Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord” (1:2 NIV). “Grace, mercy and peace” are said to come from God and Christ, with no mention of the Holy Spirit. This would be surprising if the Trinity were true, but since the Holy Spirit is not a person, this statement makes perfect sense.
