Does the Bible teach that God is one person?

Answered in 1 source

No, the Bible teaches that God is one in essence but three in persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The idea that God is one person contradicts explicit biblical teachings that reveal God as a plurality of persons. In Genesis 1:26, God declares, 'Let us make man in our image,' indicating a multi-personal aspect of the divine being. Isaiah 6 also reflects this plurality when the Lord speaks in the context of 'us.' The New Testament reaffirms this through the baptism of Jesus as described in Matthew 3:16-17, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all involved. The oneness of God is about the essence and purpose of God rather than a singular person, showcasing a profound unity in diversity within the Godhead.
