The study of the Trinity can be confusing.   We often consider  the Lord God as one member of the Trinity.  We think of Him as Father God.

For years I accepted this as Gospel until I woke one morning  thinking of Moses at the burning  bush.  

I have switched to the Names of God Bible, because I feel using the Hebrew names will help to separate them in our minds.

God is Elohim, which means Creator / Supreme Ruler :

The Lord is Yahweh which means Eternal or Everlasting One:

Exodus 3:1-7
Names of God Bible (NOG)

Moses at the Burning Bush

“Moses was taking care of the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. As he led the sheep to the far side of the desert, he came to Horeb, the mountain of Elohim.

The Messenger of Yahweh appeared to him there as flames of fire coming out of a bush. Moses looked, and although the bush was on fire, it was not burning up.   So he thought, “Why isn’t this bush burning up? I must go over there and see this strange sight.”

When Yahweh saw that Moses had come over to see it, Elohim called to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!”

Moses answered, “Here I am!”

Elohim said, “Don’t come any closer! Take off your sandals because this place where you are standing is holy ground.   I am the Elohim of your ancestors,[a] the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at Elohim.  

Yahweh said, “I have seen the misery of my people in Egypt, and I have heard them crying out because of the slave drivers. I know how much they’re suffering.”

So here we find Moses the writer of the first five books of our Bible  meeting and having a conversation with both Elohim and Yahweh.  This is what caused me to dig into and prove to myself that the Trinity works in harmony, in agreement but have individual and specific Natures.

If you will stick with me I believe the Word of God will convince you.  Lets go back to Noah in Genesis 7.  We will only look at verses with interactions of God or the Lord  with man or nature.

“Yahweh said to Noah, “Go into the ship with your whole family because I have seen that you alone are righteous among the people of today.   Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal”

The Lord saw Noah as Righteous because Noah walked with Elohim, (Jesus).  Because he walked with Jesus he saved himself and his family.

“In seven days I will send rain to the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. I will wipe off the face of the earth every living creature that I have made.”   So Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

 Noah was 600 years old when the flood came to the earth.  Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives went into the ship to escape the floodwaters.   Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that crawl on the ground  came to Noah to go into the ship in pairs (a male and female of each) as Elohim had commanded Noah.”

“Then Yahweh closed the door behind them.  The flood continued for 40 days on the earth.”

“The floodwaters were on the earth for 150 days.”

In this chapter I believe we clearly see Noah interacting with both, Elohim  (God) and Yahweh  (The Lord ).

We will see more in the next installment

Genesis 6  

Man is multiplying on the face of the earth, sons of God taking the daughters of men….giants in the land.

The Lord speaking :  

Genesis 6:3
King James Version (KJV)
“And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”

Genesis 6:6-8
King James Version (KJV)
“And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.  And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”

The voice of God:  

Genesis 6:5
King James Version (KJV)
“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

Genesis 6:9-14
King James Version (KJV)
“These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.  And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.  Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.”

The Lord said: My Sprint will not always strive with man, he is flesh.  The Lord repented that He made man.  But Noah found grace in the Lords  eyes.

I contend Noah found grace with the Lord because like Enoch   he walked with God. (Jesus,  grace equals Salvation ), brought through the flood alive.  In fear Noah built the Ark for the saving of his family and became the heir of righteousness.

God looked  apon the earth saw mans imagination and  thoughts of his heart were evil.  The earth was corrupt,  full of violence. God told Noah the end of all flesh is come I will destroy  them.

The Lord and God in agreement  to destroy the earth.  God had a one more thing to tell Noah.  He showed him the way of Salvation, build an Ark and here’s what you need

God gave instructions for building,  gathering the animals and said He would destroy the earth.  The last verse of chapter 6 tells us:  

Genesis 6:22
King James Version (KJV)
“Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”

The first four chapters of Genesis we find God and the Lord walking and working  together. The first glimpse of my “Billism” comes when Moses writes of the birth of Cain.

Eve states  the Lord gave her Cain,  he brought an offering to the Lord, the Lord rejected the offering.   

Cain left the presence of the Lord, the Lord promised  protection.

Eve later states God gave her Seth,  then Enos, that is when men began to call apon the Lord.

Chapter 5 we begin to see the generations of man, we will look at the interaction of God, The Lord and man.

First stop:  Genesis 5:21-24
King James Version (KJV)
“And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:  And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:  And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:  And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”

The first instance of man pleasing  God.  Revelation 4:11 “Tells we were created for Gods pleasure.”   Enoch is alive in bodily form in heaven today, because  he had this testimony, “he believed God is and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”

Next stop we meet :  Genesis 5:28-29
King James Version (KJV)
“And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:  And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.”

Genesis 5:32
King James Version (KJV)
“And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

Chapter 6 begins the story  of Noah.  He interacts and obeys both the Lord and God.

In chapter 4  I will point out the differences in the Natures of God and the Lord. Moses had met both at the burning bush.

The Lord saw:  God said:  Exodus 3:4
King James Version (KJV)
“And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.”

The voice and actions of the Lord:  Most of this chapter is the Lords, only in the last couple of verses do hear Gods voice.

” 1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.

4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth

Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

 God:
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.

Chapter 3:  introduction of Satan :

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

Note:  Serpents could speak:  questions  Gods Word:

“the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”

Note:  women misquoted God…

“the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

Note: 1 John 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

“when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
that it was pleasant to the eyes, a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,

and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:”

Note: Lord speaking to God: unless just to Himself.

“Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?

Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she

gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?

the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”

Note:  listen and obey God not man, we must know Gods Word.

“Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:”

Note:  They had access to and had probably ate of the tree of like, after sin, The Lord God  couldn’t let them eat again.

“Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Up to this point the Lord and God have acted and spoken as one, in agreement  and walking together.  In Chapter 4 things change.

In chapter  2 we have the introduction of The Lord.  In Hebrew the Lord  is “Yahweh”,  or “Jehovah” it means “The Eternal One”

We find the Lords presence at Creation, with God, doing the work:  Remember they are 3 in 1, always in agreement but their speach, natures and their actions sometimes differ.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.”

Day 7

“the seventh day God ended his work, he rested on the seventh day,  God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:

because  he had rested from all his work

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;

the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,

and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:

the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”

 
This Chapter we see them working together on the creation of man on the 7th day.  The Lord was there all the time, but hands on at this point.

The first chapter of Genesis is the work of God, “Elohim ” the Creator and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth.

In this study, by the Word  of God, I hope to help us understand the Nature of each member of the Trinity.

They are 3 in 1 but often approach things in a different manner, speak in their own voices, always in agreement.

Moses used different names for the different members of the Trinity,  please Read the Word: You Decide

Below is Chapter one of Genesis broken into what God said, saw, did, and thought.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

God in the Hebrew language is “Elohim” and it means    “Creator, Supreme Ruler “

The first day:

“God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

God saw the light, that it was good:

God divided the light from the darkness.

God called the light Day, the darkness he called Night.
the evening and the morning were the first day.”

Day 2:

“God said, Let there be a firmament, let it divide the waters from the waters.

God made the firmament,” (earth /heaven divided )

“and divided the waters

God called the firmament Heaven.

the evening and the morning were the second day.”

Day 3:

“God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together, let the dry land appear:

it was so.

God called the dry land Earth; the waters he called the Seas:

God saw that it was good.

God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind

the earth brought forth

the evening and the morning were the third day.

God saw that it was good.”

Day 4:

“God said, Let there be light, to divide the day from the night;

let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth:

and it was so.

God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,

the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light

to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness:

God saw that it was good.

the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”

Day 5:  First blessing :

“God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind:

God saw that it was good.

God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

the evening and the morning were the fifth day.”

Day 6:  man 2nd blessing :

“God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind:

God saw that it was good.

God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat

It was so.

God saw every thing that he had made,

behold, it was very good.

the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”

The first 6 days:  God, “Elohim” “Supreme  Ruler ” of heaven and earth.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7
King James Version (KJV)
“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.   And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
