Which one is not God -
the Father? -
the Son? -
the Holy Spirit?
Which one ?
Divetgeester, should I assume then that your belief is that all three there are God?
The Father - God.
The Son - God.
The Holy Spirit - God.
Should I make that assumption?
Or should I wait for you to indicate which of the three is not God ?
In that case I would expect you, if you are a monotheist, to eliminate TWO.
Your answer ?
Patience, patience dear fellow. I am at work all day and have long periods when I cannot slink off for a coffee and RHP.
Are you seriously trying to tell me that you don’t know what I believe? You are either hopelessly mentally incapacitated or a liar.
Anyway; I believe that ther is one God, who is one entity, one spirit, one person.
This spirit person has to enter the world in a physical form so he himself came as a man, born as a son with human limitations physically, mentally and spiritually. He had to be able to die, which god as a spirit cannot. He needed to draw strength from god the same way we have to. He therefore needed to pray etc.
“When you have seen me you have seen the father. I and the father are one. Before Abraham was I am.“
For unto us a child is given and his name shall be called “Everlasting Father”. The “son” shall be called the “father” because they are the same person manifested in different ways.
Hear oh Israel the lord your god is ONE. Not triune.
Pretty much straight forward in my opinion.
FMF (as I know this for sure), is a father, a son and a brother. His name (singular - that is important ) is still FMF even through some my call him “Father” others “son” and others “brother”. He is the same entity. There is only one FMF.
How does god do this, why is it confusing to the natural mind? Well it is explained in the NT as “the mystery of God in Christ”. It’s a mystery sonship, stop trying to solve the mystery with a man made formula called the trinity.
So you ask what do I believe. I believe that despite whatever is manifest, there is only one person in the godhead and that person, that persona is perfectly imaged in the flesh as Jesus Christ.
