The Baptism clearly showed the Tri-unity of God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Three persons that define the Trinity.

Can you please show us in the Bible?

Jesus being God is simply impossible under any logical circumstances. God is said to be an infinite being, so, tell me how you can contain any percentage of an infinity within a non self sustainable heterotrophic mammal that still had to eat and drink to survive?

O man and his little mind wants to understand God's logic.
By your assertion sir, you not only put a limit on God's power, you also dictated what God must not do. If God is all powerful, he can do anything he pleases. He can chose to be an ant and He becomes an ant because He has the powers to do it and did it. If God choose to become bread, He will become because He has the powers to make himself bread.
That God pleases to become human and live with his creatures should not be something impossible because God can do whatever He wants.
He wanted to become man and live and die in the hands of human so as to redeem mankind, He did because that pleased Him.

You mere mortal with your little logic cannot come here and dictate what God can and can't do or what God should and shouldn't do? How dare you?

Same place you read about Baptism, the three persons in Trinity are clearly shown.

"For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." -1 John 5:7
Gospel of John chapter 1......the Word = Jesus.

Therefore, the Father, the Son(Jesus) and the Holy Spirit are one.....Trinity.

There is literally a verse of Jesus saying he only acts on the commands of God (his 'father') and also saying he can of himself do nothing. Your own bibles shoot you people in the feet severally yet you're too blind to see that.

Yes. Because He and His Father are United so much that the Father lives in him. He went ahead to say that He speaks not by himself but the Father in Him that speaks through him. Thats the level of their unity.

He can of himself do nothing.... That's the truth. The human Christ could only function because of the Father in him. Remember He left His place in Heaven to become Human....in the true sense of the word(felt hunger, thirsty, ate, drank and even shit like every normal human). That human person could of himself do nothing without the Father acting in Him. While on earth Jesus was perfectly human. But was JESUS God before coming on earth as human....YES. After His work of redemption was completed, did go back to His place in Heaven as God...YES. Make no mistake about it.
The Apostles' creed reads...."True God and True Man"
In Heaven He's God. He came on earth as a perfect human but though a human on earth, he was still united with His Father.

Would you tell me it's impossible for God?

Gospel of John is there for you to read and digest.

John 5:16-18,

"And for this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17But He answered them, 'My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working. 18For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God."

John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Phil2:6

Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.

But even with the selected quote you put up, what exactly is your headache there? ....His Son? By being His son He's automatically God by his nature and essense. Heir of all things? Just like the Crowned Prince, His Father's kingdom and all therein belongs to Him.

The authentic rendition of 1John 5:7 is "There are three that testify"
verse 8 " The spirit ,the water & the blood; the three are in agreement".

Why U dey throw shade & deny the authentic word of God in 1 John 5:7 ?

Stop deceiving yourself, The Greek interlinear of the holy scriptures ( word for word transliteration into English) is available online & easily accessible to cure your ignorance.



Do U mean the forgery/ distortion of Hebrew 1:8? Have U ever read Psalm 45 in it's entirety?

Who made Jesus the "Crowned Prince " ? Who appointed him heir of all things?

studentoftruth?, if U were appointed into an exalted position ,in any sphere, would U be greater or equal with the one who appointed U?

(Contradiction), Wow! see us humans) or mortals, whatever you call us, personally I am human, we can not contain the knowledge and wisdom of our Gracious Father, remember, he is the Almighty, creator of ALL.

My understanding please.

Anybody that failed to identify with Christ is as well best described as dead. You cant stand before the Resurrection and Life and still be talking about going to do some ceremony with people who have not accepted Him.

Let me use this example : It is like telling somebody to come lets go to a church or place where God has appointed for His people to rapture and the person starts telling you he has to attend wedding ceremony of his Sister. If the caller condemns the reason, I dont think that condemnation will result into concluding that wedding ceremony for one's sister is bad.

I believe it is all about timing when the man tendered the excuse.

That does not say you should not do some works of mercy or help take care of your parents or stuff like that.

They thought that was what he was doing. But Jesus never ever thought he was God or equal to God. Jesus is a God. He was called Mighty God but not Almighty God. Jesus has a beginning. Colosians 1:15 He was referred to as the first born of all creation. He was created.

John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Throw that book you're reading away. In more that 5 translations I've studied, never mentioned "who is God himself" is that what you read or you added your own. Woe unto who ever adds or remove.


John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

[b]Word was WITH. of course Jesus was with God. If you read verse 14, you will understand. Cos the word became flesh.... Because of John 3:16. God is not a name, it's a title. It means creator. Colosian 1:15 shows that Jesus was also a God, because through him, all other things were created. "Through him" means someone is above him, the Almighty God, the creator of the creators.


[/b]1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Oga, you don't understand simple sentence structure? Who is the HIS mentioned in this verse?
If you know, then you know who is referred to as the true God. But definitely, Jesus Christ is the object in that sentence not the subject.

Phil2:6

Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.

Oga, though he was a creator, he did not think of equality with his God, his own creator. Your father gave birth to you. Now you've given birth to a son. We now have two fathers but you can never be equal to your own father. Simple insight for a pure mind.

....that God will willingly belittle himself".....You are so funny. Will He be "Forced" before? Jesus said it Himself.... "I willing laid It down Myself, no one forced Me, and I will pick It up by Myself".
The ways of God are not the ways of man my friend. He did what pleased him. He has the ability and it pleased him so He did it. You call it "belittle/most insulting", He called it "LOVE"....the greatest manifestation of Love. As if "willingly belittling Himself/insulting His status" to become human wasn't enough, He let humans insult Him, torture Him and nail Him on the cross......insult upon insult.... manifestation of LOVE.

Now my friend what He considers most insulting is you denying Him and His Love just like the Pharisees.

Jesus left His place in Heaven to become Human....in the true sense of the word(felt hunger, thirsty, ate, drank and even poo like every normal human). He did it because He wanted to and has the abilities. While on earth Jesus was perfectly human. But was JESUS God before coming on earth as human....YES. After His work of redemption was completed, did go back to His place in Heaven as God...YES. Make no mistake about it.
In Heaven He's God. He came on earth as a perfect human but though a human on earth, he was still united with His Father. He finished His work, went back to His place as God...The Prince on The Throne to Judge us all.

My friend take time to read my Saudi-Arabia King and Crowned Prince analogy. There's nothing too difficult to understand there. So I don't think your case is that of ignorance rather it's out of jealousy just like the Pharisees. It can be likened to a Saudi's citizens being jealous of the Crowned Prince and saying that the Crowned Prince is nothing more than a Saudi citizen appointed to a high post. But within you, you know it's a big lie. He's the Crowned Prince based on His DNA(scientifically speaking). He has the DNA of His Father the King. His Father's blood flows in His veins.

Likewise Jesus. Jesus is God based on who He be. Based on His DNA. He is the only begotten SON of His Father. He has the DNA of God. To say that Jesus is a man appointed to a high position is pure jealousy.

Jesus is God based on His "DNA"(ie by His nature and essence). There are ONLY THREE PERSONS that bear this "DNA"
....The Father
.....The Son
.....The Holy Spirit.
These three persons are UNITED. The three persons are united in their will, interest and purpose as one. The homage you pay to one is paid to all 3. They're so united that in one, you see the other. Jesus said ....I and the Father are one, Jn10:30; if you see me you have seen the Father, Jn14:7-9; the Father is in me and I in the Father, Jn14:10-11. (Are you calling Jesus a liar? You must be a Pharisee)

Jesus is one with His Father, but is Jesus the same person as his Father? ...No. There's the person of the Father, the person of Jesus and the person of the Holy Spirit. These 3 persons bear the "DNA"(nature and essence) of God. These 3 identifiable Divine persons yet UNITED as one is called The Holy Trinity.

It's clear enough for you to understand unless you're one more Pharisee jealous of Jesus.

peace.

My friend take time to read my Saudi-Arabia King and Crowned Prince analogy. There's nothing too difficult to understand there. So I don't think your case is that of ignorance rather it's out of jealousy just like the Pharisees. It can be likened to a Saudi's citizens being jealous of the Crowned Prince and saying that the Crowned Prince is nothing more than a Saudi citizen appointed to a high post. But within you, you know it's a big lie. He's the Crowned Prince based on His DNA(scientifically speaking). He has the DNA of His Father the King. His Father's blood flows in His veins.

My Question for U: I agree U have the DNA of your father, just as Jesus has his father's DNA, but OP, na U be your father ?
Are U one with your father? How do U share oneness with your father ?Or in what sense are U one with your father ? Pls reply.


U said "Jesus is one with his father. Is Jesus the same person as his father? No. "

Nowhere in the Bible did Christ ever gave his God Almighty a command or orders to obey.

Yet, U dey claim that Jesus is the same God Almighty.

Is your statement contradictory ? Yes or no? pls reply.

Shalom
