Peacefullove: oh duh once again Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. God sending the Word doesn't change the fact that God and the Word is God |

Mat_9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. |

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6 I'll ask this question again that's often stylishly ignored: Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently be, in Heaven and earth, at any moment of time? That Isaiah 9:6 above aside, one really ought to, at least and for a start, be asking oneself the following questions: #1 Why did the God, need to become, God, the Father? #2 Why did God, need to become, God, the Son? #3 Why did God, stick to this human being means and following these protocols? Well the phrase "Holy Trinity" is a misnomer as it is suggesting an idea that is obviously wrong God, the Living, Intelligent, Omnipresent, Self-Existing, All-Powerful, Authority, Influence being, cant be boxed up. Part of the absurdity of the theological shenanigans so far presented on this thread, is the aspect of pigeonholing God into trinity People wishing and trying their hardest best to pigeonhole God It actually is imposing restrictions on God's activities or freedom, to be what He wishes to be For crying out loud, God is not limited to 3 persons because, God is ''I AM THAT I AM'', ''I SHALL BE THAT I SHALL'', ''I WILL BE THAT I BE'' so, since God is, not-known-number-of persons God, then, is, x-persons God, in effect is, ∞-persons Adam, Noah, the patriarchs, the Israelites etcetera didnt know God, as a Father, as a Son The realisation or knowledge of God being a Father and being a Son, came with the advent of Jesus Who knows what other person(s), during the passage of time, God will also reveal Himself to be cc pressplay411 OneJ johnw47 Maamin Shelumiel Perfectbeing |

MuttleyLaff: Well said sir. God is infinite beyond what We could ever know. But in our Walk of Faith, it helps to understand the 3 personalities of His manifestation so far, to His chosen people. This knowledge makes sharing the Prayer of Grace all the more real to us. The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Love of God, And the Fellowship of the Holyspirit, Be with us now and for ever. Amen. 1 Like |

God is God and the Word John 1:1 Yahovah Psa 89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Jesus Mar 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 8:48am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Food for thought. Who do you worship/serve/pray to? God? Jesus? God and Jesus? OR God through Jesus? Please these questions are meant for Christians only. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Maamin(m): 8:48am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Perfectbeing: My question is there at the bold.. My question now is in revelations Two thrones were mentioned That of God and that of the lamb..none for the holy spirit. How do we add this up as well to arrive at this very trinity doctrine Revelation 7:10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” Revelation 21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. Revelation 11:15 …“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord [God] and of his Christ [Jesus], and he will reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 5:13 …“To him who sits on the throne [God] and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” I feel something is missing out in this triniterian teaching that makes it unacceptable. |

adelee777:Read it and weep: Jesus says, "I and the Father are one" John 10:30 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Jesus answered, Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?"( John 14:8, 9) . Why do I claim that Jesus is God (come in the flesh)? I did not invent this idea, Jesus Himself is the one who makes this claim, over and over(I already gave the verses ). As for me ,I accept His Word And if you disagree, then you disagree with Jesus and what He says. Shalom. |

MuttleyLaff: To answer your question God can be anywhere at anytime through the power of his holy spirit that fills up or inhabit the worlds even as deep as eternity. The funny thing is how the third party in the trinity is less talked about or completely and stylishly left out in the heat of conversation. Trinity remains a false and pagan concept. We shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free indeed. Shalom aleikhem |

Continuation from my previous questions to Christians only. For those that say Jesus is a Mighty God but not the Almighty God, what you mean exactly is that there are more than one God in heaven (since Jesus is from heaven). The first one is the Almighty God, in other words, the greater God. And the second is the Mighty God, in other words the lesser god. (some said Jesus is not God but a god. they translate John 1:1 as... and the word was a god) Same goes for you guys too.. Lets look at the first three commandments. Exodus 20:1-5 And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 1st comm: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2nd comm: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 3rd comm: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; In the first commandment, the Almighty God (Yahweh) said we should have no other god (or mighty God) except Him. So if Isa 9:6 was talking about another mighty God and not the Almighty God Himself, it is either God is introducing us to another god that would save mankind making him a confused God or the Bible contradicts itself. In the 2nd commandent, God warns against creating for ourselves, a graven image or likeness of anything in the heavens. And in the 3rd commandments we are told not to bow to them or serve them or worship them or pray to/ through them. (Don't tell me you don't see worship or pray written there. You can't serve what you don't worship and you don't pray to/through what you don't serve) One thing we (or most Christians) agree on (whether trinitarians or not) is that Jesus (who some call a god or a mighty God) comes from heaven same as God almighty. If these two Gods (almighty God and mighty God) are not the same, then the second commandment must be flawed since Alright God warns us not to bow down or worship or serve another God or the likeness of another God. Or God is confused here too. Also in Isa 9:6, Jesus is called an everlasting Father and in Isaiah 40:28 God is called the everlasting God... Unless you mean the everlasting Father and the everlasting God are two different Beings, then I don't know what you mean. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 9:32am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: in other words God and Father and God the son as been established but God the Holy Spirit have not. Is this what you mean to say |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 9:34am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: I've given you my answer sir. I told you I can't give you a definite answer. But then, you got my message right? |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Maamin(m): 9:49am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Perfectbeing: Yes or is the Holy spirit not coequal enough to have HIS own throne? |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 9:52am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: God is eternal, everlasting, has no beginning, and has no end. Everything that comes from God is eternal, everlasting, has no beginning, and has no end. The Word (Jesus) comes from God. The Word (Jesus) is eternal, everlasting, has no beginning and has no end. A lion begets a lion. The parent lion is not eternal, everlasting. It has beginning, it has an end. So is the baby lion. We humans, we are begotten from our papa and mama. Our parents are not eternal or everlasting, they have beginnings and they have ends. We are not eternal or everlasting, we have beginnings and we have ends. Jesus is begotten from God. He is God's begotten son (John 3:16). That is, He is from God Himself. And anything that is from God (begotten from God) (in this case, Jesus) is eternal, everlasting, has no beginning and has no end. Jesus shares God's DNA (permit me to use scientific terms). God DNA is eternal, everlasting, no beginning, no end. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. God is eternal, everlasting, has no beginning, and has no end. His Spirit is eternal, everlasting, has no beginning, and has no end. In summary, Jesus is God. I call you blessed. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 9:53am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: sorry for that. I though you misinterpreted me |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 9:56am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: And who is this truth that we shall know and set us free if not Jesus the Truth. I'm coming to the Holy Spirit. I cannot start talking about the Holy Spirit when we still haven't agree about the son and the father. it will only bring in more confusion. I call you blessed.. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Maamin(m): 9:57am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Perfectbeing: Why did you ask of something of someone when you cant give that, when the same is ask of you? Be a good Christian brother. I must answer your questions how you want but you will answer mine how you want hun? Only those with ulterior motive do that. Fine. I will try as much as possible to give your questions more comprehensive answers by the Grace of God. |

Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 10:00am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: Fine. I apologize for that. It was immature of me. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Maamin(m): 10:02am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Perfectbeing: No sir, the Trinity Coequality of father, Son and Holy spirit goes together, none should be left out at any point please. Verily Verily as you have said Jesus is the truth, knowing him is knowing God the father. But sadly triniterians know 3 in 1. |
Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by Perfectbeing(m): 10:38am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Maamin: The Holy Spirit is not a vague or an impersonal force. He is a person equal in every way with God the Father and God the Son. He is considered to be the third member of the Godhead. Jesus said to His apostles... "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And all the divine attributes ascribed to the Father and the Son are equally ascribed to the Holy Spirit. When a person becomes born again by believing and receiving Jesus Christ, God resides in that person through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has intellect, emotion, and will. A primary role of the Holy Spirit is that He bears "witness" of Jesus Christ. He tells people's hearts about the truth of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit also acts as a Christian's teacher. He reveals God's will and God's truth to a Christian. Jesus told His disciples... "The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak (just Jesus does the will of the father) ; and He will disclose to you what is to come." The Holy Spirit was given to live inside those who believe in Jesus, in order to produce God's character in the life of a believer. In a way that we cannot do on our own, the Holy Spirit will build into our lives love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Rather than trying to be loving, patient, kind, God asks us to rely on Him to produce these qualities in our lives. Thus Christians are told to walk in the Spirit and be filled with the Spirit. And the Holy Spirit empowers Christians to perform ministerial duties that promote spiritual growth among Christians. The Holy Spirit also performs a function for non-Christians as well. He convicts people's hearts of God's truth concerning how sinful we are needing God's forgiveness; how righteous Jesus is -- He died in our place, for our sins; and God's eventual judgment of the world and those who do not know Him. The Holy Spirit tugs on our hearts and minds, asking us to repent and turn to God for forgiveness and a new life. |
