Question: Did Yahushua believe in one God?...or a triune God?

Answer:

Triune God? No

• There is not a single text in the entire Bible that supports the idea that Yahushua believed in a triune God.

One God? Yes

Yahushua believed in only one God, the Father. His God was not a triune God. He agreed with a Jewish scribe that the Shema is the foremost commandment:

• "And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And [Yahushua] answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord [Yahuwah] our God is one Lord [Yahuwah]: And thou shalt love the Lord [Yahuwah] thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." (Mark 12:28-30)

The Shema says:

• "Hear, O Israel: The LORD [Yahuwah] our God is one LORD [Yahuwah]: And thou shalt love the LORD [Yahuwah] thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)

And the scribe replied to Yahushua:

• "Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul..." (Mark 12:32-33)

His words, "there is one God; and there is none other but he" show that God is one: "he", "him" - Not three persons of the a triune God, or a Trinity.

And Yahushua agreed with his reply by saying:

• "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." (Mark 12:34)

Yahushua also identified our only God as the heavenly Father:

• "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed." (John 6:27)
• "And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." (John 6:65)
• "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" (Mat 6:14)
• "[Yahushua] answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God." (John 8:54)

Before Yahushua was born, the Psalmist wrote this prophecy about him:

• "He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth." (Psalm 89:26-27)

After Yahushua was born, he fulfilled this prophecy. He called his God his Father. Later Yahuwah made him His firstborn, higher that the kings of the earth. It is abundantly clear that Yahushua believed in one God, the Father.
