Divine Unity and Biblical Monotheism
• Mark 12:29 quotes Deuteronomy 6:4 to affirm: “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” In a world of many gods, the Gospels announce the same uncompromising monotheism found in the Old Testament.
• James 2:19 reminds believers: “You believe that God is One. Good!” The early church held to one living God against pagan polytheism.
• 1 Corinthians 8:4–6 contrasts idols with the truth: “There is no God but One… yet for us there is one God, the Father… and one Lord, Jesus Christ.”
Christological Oneness with the Father
• John 10:30: “I and the Father are one.” The term secures both the distinction of Persons and their essential unity, informing Trinitarian doctrine.
• John 17:11, 21-23 records Jesus’ high-priestly prayer that His followers “may be one as We are one,” rooting Christian unity in the relational oneness of the Godhead
So as we see above God is not a number meaning 1 person but a Unity of One with the Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Just like Jesus prayed for His disciples to be One, the church with many members to be One- it’s Unity in diversity with complexity.
And in marriage the two become One representing Gods plural One in Unity. And a family unit is singular with several members.
These and many more biblical examples expose the errors of the Unitarian doctrine of God showing its false, a heretical belief.
hope this helps!!!
