The Terms Godhead, Trinity, Triune God, and Three-in-one are not in the Bible. Yet, the Bible refers to three separate parts or beings or people and God calls himself one, so we have a bit of a mystery. Luke 3:21-22 .

When reading the bible, God refers to himself with words other than “God is” but this list does not include any of those references.   God is love, 1 John 4:8 , 1 John 4:16 God is a solid rock, 2 Samuel 22:32 , Psalm 18:31 God is the eternal Rock, Isaiah 26:4 God is holy! Psalm 99:9   God is light, 1 John 1:5 God is a devouring fire, a jealous God . Deuteronomy 4:24 , Hebrews 12:29 God is faithful, 1 Corinthians 10:13 God is all-powerful. Job 36:22 . God called himself “I am” God is the God of gods. God is my strong fortress. 2 Samuel 22:33 God is not a man so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Numbers 23:19 God is near to us whenever we call on him Deuteronomy 4:7 God is a merciful God; he will not abandon you or destroy you. Deu...
