COL: 1:17 HEB: 1:10-12, REV: 1:8

3) God communicates with man and does not change.
4) THE TRINITY
GENESIS: 1:1,2 1:26, 3:22, MATTHEW: 28:17&19, ROMANS: 8:26&34 11CORINTHIANS: 13:14 EPHESIANS: 1:17 2:13,18 HEB: 9:14

B) In God’s word although there is only one God, there are 3 persons who are equally God
Matthew 28: 19 & Genesis 1: 26


God the father
