Biblical Proof of the Trinity from Genesis

What the Rabbis Hide: The “Two Powers” in the Tanakh

The binitarian portrayal of Yahweh in the Hebrew Bible was motivated by this belief. The ancient Israelite knew two Yahwehs—one invisible, a spirit, the other visible, often in human form. The two Yahwehs at times appear together in the text, at times being distinguished …

In this video, Sam Shamoun explores a critical question: Why does God switch from saying “Let there be light” to “Let US make mankind”? And why is the first man, “Adam,” referred to as “them”? Join Sam as he delves into the Hebrew text to uncover a stunning truth about the nature of God and humanity. Key Points Explored:

The “Us” in Genesis 1: Who is God speaking to when He says, “Let us make mankind in our image”? Sam explains why it can’t be the angels and identifies who was present at creation.
Adam is a “Them”: Sam provides the biblical proof that the first “Adam” was not a solitary male, but a plural being—male and female together—from the very beginning. Discover why Genesis 5:2 says God “called their name Adam.”
The Divine Blueprint: See how the union of male and female as “one flesh” is a direct reflection of the multi-personal nature of the one true God. The “one flesh” of humanity mirrors the “one” nature of God, which includes distinct persons.
The Spirit in Creation: The Spirit of God was already actively moving over the waters in Genesis 1:2, proving He was not a part of creation but a distinct participant with God.

Sam builds a compelling case from the Hebrew Scriptures alone, demonstrating that the Creator is not a solitary being. By analyzing the plural language used for God (“Let Us”), the plural nature of Adam (“them”), and the presence of the Spirit at creation, he shows that the foundation for a Triune God is embedded in the very first chapters of Genesis. This understanding resolves the questions that troubled the rabbis and reveals the consistent biblical truth of one God in multiple persons.
