Isaiah 43:10-13 You are my witnesses, declares the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. . . . John 20:28 Thomas said to [Jesus], "My Lord and my God!" To which Jesus replied "Because you have seen me, you have believed." Titus 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Hebrews 1:8 But about the Son [Jesus] he says, Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, . . . Acts 5:3-4 . . . Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit . . . You have not lied to men but to God. These are just a sampling of the verses that can be used. Here is how it goes. Deuteronomy - God is one. Isaiah - There is only one God and no other. John - Jesus is God. Titus - Jesus is God. Hebrews - Jesus is God. Acts - the Holy Spirit is God. And as you already know, Jesus addressed God as his father. That makes one God with three manifestations. alarm, who is a student, a preacher, and a husband - a sort of three in one type of person ;)
