This question, “Is each divine being of the Trinity omnipotent?” was asked in a Facebook discussion group, “Islam and Christianity Debate Group,”\u00a0a kind soul made me a member of.<\/p>\n

I placed the following answer to that very good question posed by a Muslim participant today:<\/p>\n

The answer is absolutely yes. All three divine beings of the trinity are declared in the Bible to be omnipotent. I already gave the Scripture for some of the related incommunicable attributes above, but since “omnipotence” is not included in my list of the incommunicable attributes of God shared by each member of the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I will share them now. Let me make this clearer by giving you the specific Scriptures that state this:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

God the Father is omnipotent:<\/p>\n

Job 42:2. “I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.”<\/p>\n

In my new resource for Bible study I give the following cross references to other related verses in the Bible which shed light on the keywords “thou canst do every thing”: Genesis 17:1. 18:14. Psalm 115:3. 135:6. Isaiah 40:12. 43:13. Jeremiah 32:17, 27. Habakkuk 3:6. Matthew 15:27. 19:26. Mark 10:27. 14:36. Lk 1:37. 18:27. Acts 26:8. Contrast Titus 1:2. Revelation 19:6.<\/p>\n

God the Son is omnipotent:<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 1:24. “But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”<\/p>\n

In my new resource for Bible study I give the following cross references to other related verses in the Bible which shed light on the keywords “the power of God”:<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 1:18. 4:20. 8:6. Exodus 38:7. Joshua 3:14. Job 36:5. Psalm 110:2. Isaiah 9:6. 53:1. 63:5. Matthew 8:16, 28-32. 14:25 note. Mt 28:18, 19. Mark 1:23-27. Luke 4:35-41. 7:12-15. 8:22-24 note, Lk 8:25, 33 note, Lk 8:41, 42, 49-55. John 1:3, 10. 2:19. 5:21, 25. 10:17, 18. 11:25. 12:38. 16:15. 17:2. Acts contrast Ac 8:10. Romans 1:4, 16. contrast Romans 15:19. 2 Corinthians 6:7. 12:9. Ephesians 1:19, 20. Philippians 3:20, 21. Colossians 1:16, 17. 1 Thessalonians 1:5. Hebrews 1:3. 2:14. 4:12. 1 Peter 1:5. 1 John 3:8. Revelation 1:8, 18.<\/p>\n

God the Holy Spirit is omnipotent:<\/p>\n

Acts 10:38. “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”<\/p>\n

In my new resource for Bible study I give the following cross references to other related verses in the Bible which shed light on the keywords “and with power”:<\/p>\n

God the Holy Spirit is omnipotent (Matthew 28:19 note). The omnipotence of the Holy Spirit is also implied by His work in creation (Genesis 1:2. Job 26:13. Psalm 104:30). Acts 1:8. Luke 1:35. 6:19. Romans 8:11. 15:13, 19. 1 Thessalonians 1:5. 2 Timothy 1:7. 1 Peter 3:18.<\/p>\n

Since the Bible is not written in the form of a systematic theology, one of the best ways to learn what it teaches is to consult a full source of cross references. Cross references show where a particular theme or doctrine is mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. That is why I have taken the time to share these cross references for they are not available elsewhere in this completeness.<\/p>\n<\/fb:like><\/fb:like><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
