A creature can not know God as it is, but we can know Him by what distinguishes Him from everything else, as we have said: God is a Spirit, unlimited, eternal, unchanging in His existence, ability, holiness, justice, quality and right.
It is written in the Torah: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord - Deuteronomy 6: 4. All the laws of the Christian faith have been issued in statements that state this fact. The law of Nekawi begins by saying:
We believe in one God.
And the law of Nico-Constantinople - 381 AD - says:
We believe in one God.
The law accepted by all evangelical and traditional churches begins by saying:
We believe in one God.
" Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech."
2- In the Book of Deuteronomy there is a hint of the existence of the three universes in the same God. He says, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6: 4,5 -.
The word of our god in this verse came in the plural, knowing that it was intended to demonstrate the oneness.
3- And in the book of Isaiah the prophet we read:
15 -Thus the Father is God, and the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
16 -But they are not three gods, but one God.
17 -Thus the Father is Lord, and the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord.
18 -But they are not three chiefs, but one Lord.
19 -Just as the Christian right obliges us to acknowledge that each of these selves is a God and a Lord.
20 -As well as the total religion, we cease to say that there are three gods and three men.
21 -The Father is not made of anyone, nor creature, nor born.
22 -And the Son of the Father alone, is not made, nor creature, but born.
23 -And the Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son is neither creature nor born, but born.
24 -But one father, not three fathers, and one son, not three sons, and the spirit of one holy place, not three holy souls.
25 -It is not in this trinity that he is before or after others, nor is he greater or smaller than him.
26 -But all the three are eternal together and equal.
27- Therefore in all that is said, we must worship the Oneness in the Trinity, and the Trinity in Oneness.
28- If whosoever wishes to be saved, he must be sure of this in the Trinity.
29- And it is also necessary for him to deliver, to believe faithfully in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
30 -For straight faith is to believe and acknowledge that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.
31 -He is a God from the essence of the Father, born before ages, and a man of the essence of his mother is born in this age.
32 -A perfect God and a perfect human being, with the same voice and human body.
33 - equal to the Father according to his divinity, and without the Father according to his humanity.
34 - And though he is God and man, he is one Christ, not two.
35 - But one, not the impossibility of his theology to the body, but the adoption of the body to theology.
36 - One in the sentence, not in the mixing of substance, but in the unity of the hypostasis.
37- For as the speaking soul and the flesh are one man, so is God and man one Christ.
38 - He who suffered for our salvation, and descended into the abyss - the world of the spirits - and also rose on the third day from the dead.
39- And he went up to heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father, The Pantocrator.
40- And from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
41- When he comes, all human beings also do with their bodies, and judged according to their own works.
42- Those who do good will enter eternal life, and those who do evil will enter the eternal fire.
43- This is the universal faith, which man can not be saved without believing in him honestly and confidently.
In summary, God is one in Christianity, though theology has three attributes: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one essence and three hypostases, but the essence is not divided. Not only does each of the hypostases have a special part, but all the hypostases of the perfection of one substance in relation to the other. And that their relationship is a secret that the human mind can not comprehend. But in the Bible we have something to show. All that came from outside the Bible about the Trinity of philosophical ideas, or rational needs, was only a simplification or a presentation of the Bible by analogy. Historically, ancient Christians studied the doctrine of the Trinity in the light of the Scriptures of the Holy Revelation, believed in it, settled it, and painted its image in the laws of the Church. The most prominent of these laws is the Nicene Law of Faith, which says:
" We believe in one God, God the Father, the Almighty, Who created heaven and earth, and all things, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not created, of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us, men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnated of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried. And on the third day He rose from the dead, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into the heavens; and sat at the right hand of His Father, and also He is coming again in His glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom has no end.
Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giver, Who proceeds from the Father, Who, with the Father and the Son, is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke in the prophets. And in one holy, catholic and apostolic church. We confess one baptism for the remission of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the coming age. Amen."

In fact, good reason rules that the problem of ills must be only one, for it is impossible to admit the presence of two or more indefinite, unchanging, two unchanging meanings. The Bible shows that God is one in His perfection from being sometimes called one of His qualities, such as light, love, truth, or spirit. We learn from the oneness of God to guard against conceiving his presence partly in heaven, and partly on earth because he is one indivisible God who exists in His perfection everywhere.
Christianity believes in the personality of God. That is, it does not believe that this one God is just a force or something, but a rational, self-fulfilling person, with all the elements of personality, in the fullest possible sense.
If it is recognized that personality is always based on three pillars: thought, feeling and will, and that God is the only complete personality when compared to other personalities of his creatures, so it was necessary to know the personality of God as the only personal thought and feeling and will as it is the first of all God is self-aware, aware of everything he does. Christianity believes that this God, the one living person, is not a physical body that can see or touch or perceive the human senses. He is, as Christ said, spirit and also the Father of Spirits - Hebrews 12: 9 - creating these in His image as His likeness.
Christianity believes that the oneness of God is universal, that is to say, God is threefold: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God and one essence. Christians do not mean by the multiplicity of universes that God is three, because the term "hypostasis" does not mean substance. What is meant here is the essence of the one self, that is, the theological unity. He is meant by the One, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, the word Hypostasis - like all other human words - is insufficient to clarify a divine truth, namely, that God is a triad in hypnotism, and one in essence. It is known that the teaching of the unity of God and the superiority of the two universes one of the other and equal in substance, and the ratio of one to the other did not appear in the Bible one sentence to declare, but in verses scattered. But the essence of these matters is provided from the first Bible to the end. One of the things that proves this belief is its existence in successive declarations and its gradual evolution:
1- In the Book of Genesis hints at the teaching of the Trinity, which is not understood clearly except by the light of the adverts, then the name of God is called in the plural of Elohim as his saying:
" In the beginning created the Elohim of the heavens and the earth ." Genesis 1: 1 -.
" Elohim said: We work man in our image as our likeness." Genesis 1:26.
" And the Lord God said: Behold, man has become as one of us " - Genesis 3:22.

These glorious verses indicate that God is one in essence, the Hypo-stasis . Before we study this doctrine or examine abstract biblical research, it is best to know its history in the Church of Christ, and the ideas it has addressed until it has reached its permanent, unchanging permanent status.
Christians in the days of the Apostles and until the first century of the second century AD did not think of the formulation of certain versions of the doctrines of Christianity, as they practiced the principles of these beliefs as contained in the Scriptures without putting them in a certain form. When they were confronted with a difficulty or a problem they returned to the apostles or disciples of the apostles after them. But as Christianity spread in the world, some innovations were made so that the Church had to say the word, especially when the myths of Arius and Spalius were in violation of Christian doctrines regarding the divinity of the Son and the Holy Spirit. The famous men in the church and the opinions of the innovators, most notably St. Athanasius, known as the protector of faith, who resisted these heresies and issued the law known Athanasian who says:
1- Whoever wishes salvation, must first of all adhere to the universal faith of the Christian Church.
2 -Whoever does not keep this faith, without spoiling, will perish forever.
3 -This universal faith is to worship one God in the Trinity, and a Trinity in Unification.
4 -We do not mix the oaths and separate the substance.
5 -The Father all mighty, and the Son is all mighty, and the Holy Spirit is all mighty .
6 -But the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have one theology and equal glory, and the eternal glory together.
7- As He is the Father, so is the Son, so is the Holy Spirit.
8 -The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated.
9 -The Father is unlimited, and the Son is unlimited, and the Holy Spirit is unlimited.
10- The Father is eternal, and the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal.
11 - But they are not three eternal, but one persevere.
12- Neither are three uncreated, nor three unlimited, but one uncreated and one unlimited.
13 -And the Father is the Pantocrator, and the Son is the Pantocrator, and the Spirit is the Pantocrator.
14 -But they are not three Pantocrator, but one Pantocrator.
