Your concept of there being a holy mo...Dear Unknown<br />Your concept of there being a holy mother that is both man and woman has no spiritual context, it's just a man-made myth invented to contradict the actual word of God. If this concept was indeed in "original scrolls and writings" and is "not difficult to understand" why is it too difficult for you to to quote?<br /><br />As for the Trinity being a form of pagan lunch meat - again it's just something you made up. If God is both masculine and feminine why is He only referred to in the masculine in holy scripture? If you really put some brain power behind your imaginary rants you would have considered John 4:24 when God's own son declared God to be Spirit, so he could easily be neither. Of course you didn't bother to consider John 10:30 when you made up your concept about Jesus lack of deity.<br /><br />Of course you don't understand masculinity, a Man would have had the courage to sign his name to his beliefs. Come back when you have the guts to put a name to your convictions.

Only the son, Jesus, is a physical being.<br /><br />Asking if the Holy Spirit is a physical being shows an utter misunderstanding of the English language. We use the term "Holy Spirit" because the Holy Spirit is not a physical entity. If you need help with this concept I'll be more than glad to help.<br /><br />As for God the Father, the Bible makes it abundantly clear that God is not a physical being. John 4:24 clearly states "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Yes the bible does use anthropomorphisms to convey some of His attributes but Numbers 23:19 makes it abundantly clear that God is not a physical being:<br />"God is not a man, that He should lie,<br />Nor a son of man, that He should repent;<br />Has He said, and will He not do it?<br />Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"<br /><br />1 Samuel 15:29 also conveys the fact that God is not a physical being:<br />"Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind.”<br /><br />To try to consider God as a weak, pitiful, physical being is to miss the entire glory of God. And the Holy Spirit is not a physical being either, if he was a physical being He wouldn't be called the Holy SPIRIT.<br /><br />Being spirits by nature, God and his Holy Spirit are not bound by your preconceived notions of personhood. Should you think clearly on this using the biblical descriptions of God, your question should be "How could Jesus, being a physical being, be part of a trinity made up of spiritual beings" and when you're thinking clearly the answer becomes very obvious.<br /><br />Once you understand that God is spirit any questions raised in Genesis 1:26, our being made in God's image, suddenly become very clear<br />Doug Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318930961031654937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246295430976433070.post-58099849578254669142018-09-12T17:10:12.369-06:002018-09-12T17:10:12.369-06:00The blog only contains a list of syllogisms which ...The blog only contains a list of syllogisms which restate the obvious.

I don't see what's so difficult to understand about that.<br /><br />"I am in the Father and the Father is in me", and all the other verses in which Jesus declares his oneness with the Father, all clearly demonstrate that the Father and the Son have the same purpose and the same love for us.<br /><br />Still waiting for answers to the questions in my post.

But...God the Father was pleased with his son Jesus. But doesn't your bible contain the book of John? <br /><br />In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.(John 1:1)<br /><br />And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)<br /><br />"I and the Father are one." (John 10:30)<br /><br />9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '? 10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 11 "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. (John 14:9-11)<br /><br />Why do you think that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus? Not because He argued with them, the Pharisees lived for argument, they asked him tons of silly little meaningless questions like the ones you posted above. Not because He claimed to speak for God, speaking for God is called prophesy and Jesus was never accused of being a false prophet.<br /><br />They wanted to kill Jesus because He Claimed To Be God, and that is where the doctrine of the Trinity came from the mouth of Jesus Himself. To deny the Trinity is to deny what Jesus said.<br /><br />And by the way, the Council of Constantinople did not finalize the doctrine of the Trinity, it brought up the question if Pneumatomachians (those who adhere to Macedonianism) were heretics because the Doctrine of the Trinity had been in place for almost 2 centuries at that point.

It's very simple, fathers and sons are obviously different people.<br /><br />Peter declared, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Mathew 16:16. He didn't declare, "You are the Christ, kind of the Son, but the same as the Father, who is the same as the Spirit, and somehow you're all one being."<br /><br />We could discuss history and scripture all day, but I'd simply ask you to answer any or all of the questions I posed above.

They are obviously three separate and distinct beings.<br /><br />If not, then at Jesus' baptism who spoke from heaven saying that he was well pleased with his son, and who descended in the form of dove? Obviously Jesus was in the water, the Father spoke from heaven, and the Spirit was manifest in the form of a dove. Three separate beings.<br /><br />And to whom was Jesus referring when he said his father sent him? He sent himself?<br /><br />And to whom was Jesus speaking while on the cross when he asked why his father had forsaken him? He forsook himself?<br /><br />And to whom did Jesus commend his spirit? Himself?<br /><br />And to whom was Jesus referring when he told Mary that he hadn't yet ascended to his father?<br /><br />And to whom was Jesus referring when he told the apostles that after he was gone the Spirit would testify of Him?<br /><br />There are many more examples, but it is clear that Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Spirit are three individuals who are one on purpose. <br /><br />Just like the scriptures tell us that husband and wife are to become one. Does that mean that a man and woman are to literally fuse into one person? Of course not. It's easily understood that they are to become one in purpose and love, just like the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />It's very simple, and the idiotic nonsense of the trinity is just one of Satan's many attempts to defile basic truths and lead people away from Christ. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160449058957786797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246295430976433070.post-83246193648413624122018-08-29T18:25:09.541-06:002018-08-29T18:25:09.541-06:00You are absolutely right, and the bible makes that...You are absolutely right, and the bible makes that very clear.
