Unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

John 10:30
I and the Father are one.

Plurality to God
The Hebrew word for God is el in its singular form.  The most common form used for God is elohim, which is plural in form.  How can there be plural form used for only one God?  Some suggest that the answer is found in the three persons of the Trinity.  Others contend that the plural construct denotes a fullness of deity as opposed to plurality.  I submit that both interpretations are correct.  I’m getting ahead of myself now though.  Rather than look at all the verses that use the plural elohim, let’s look at other verses that point to a plurality within the one God. 

 

Some would say that God could be speaking to the angels in these verses, but that's simply not correct. God was speaking to co-creator(s) in these verses (“Let us make man…”).  Who could be a co-creator?  Not the angels.

Acts 5:3-4
3Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

1 Cor. 2:10-11
10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
