31. Does the Bible say that Christ is the Lord? Yes. Luke 2:11.
Trinitarians agree. For the record, Arians do as well.
32. Does the Bible say that the Lord is God? Yes. I kings 18:39; Zechariah 14:5; Acts 2:39; Revelation 19:1.
The NT uses the title lord (Gk. kurios) for both the Father and the Son, making a distinction between the two.
Luke 10:21 says, “In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord (Gk. kurie) of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.” The Son clearly calls the Father Lord.
In Acts 2:36 we are plainly told, “Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God [the Father] has made him both Lord (Gk. kurion) and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
The verse immediately before this makes reference to Psalm 110:1 in which Yahweh (LORD) tells Adonai (Lord) to sit at his right hand until he makes his enemy his footstool. This is without question in reference to the Father and the Son as it is applied in the NT (see Heb. 10:13)
33. How could the church belong to Jesus (Matthew 16:18) and yet be the church of God (I Corinthians 10:32)? Because Jesus is God in the flesh.
While Trinitarians certainly agree that Jesus is God in the flesh, this conclusion is not necessary to answer the question. The Church can belong to Jesus in the same sense that it belongs to the Father because those who make up the Church have been given to Jesus (Jo. 6:37) by the Father.
34. Will God give His glory to another? No. Isaiah 42:8.
Again, Trinitarians affirm the full deity of Christ—he shares the essential nature of deity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. The glory is properly ascribed to all three persons.
35. Was there a God formed before Jehovah, or will there be one formed after? No. Isaiah 43:10.
Yet another proposition that Trinitarians affirm. Yahweh is the only God in existence, there were none before and there will be none after.
36. What is one thing that God does not know? Another God. Isaiah 44:8.
How is this question relevant to the ‘Godhead’? One could infer from the question that oneness Pentecostals equate Trinitarianism with Tritheism (which is obviously the case with David K. Bernard in his book The Oneness of God)—but this is a straw man argument since Trinitarians are firmly monotheistic.
37. What is one thing that God Cannot do? Lie. Titus 1:2.
Again, how is this question relevant?
38. How many Gods should we know? Only one. Hosea 13:4.
The same inference of Tritheism is made—to know the Triune God Yahweh is to know only one God.
39. How many names has the Lord? One. Zechariah 14:9.
Yes, and the name as given in Zechariah 14:9 is Yahweh.
40. Is it good to think upon the name of the Lord? Yes. Malachi 3:16.
