The Trinity

[RetiredGySgt]

Ok, if Jesus and the Holy Spirit are really just God, explain John 14:24 and John 14:26.

Why exactly would Jesus keep reminding people that his words were not HIS but those of his FATHER, God. I mean if he were really just God anyway.

Why would Jesus talk of God sending the Holy Spirit anywhere if it was really just God anyway?

Through out the Bible Jesus is referred to as the Son of God and he is clear he is NOT God. And the Holy Spirit is referred to as a helper of God not as God.

I think he had to mince his words a bit to get the message across---he got crucified for even claiming to be the son of God--can you imagine him trying to tell a bunch of jews that he WAS God ?

Well, when a lot of religions pray they pray to "The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost."


I've always thought of them as 3 different Entities, each having a purpose of their own.

That is the best you have?

I think his message is that we all are reflections or projections of a larger and spiritual identity and loving one another was the most important thing we can do. He used God, himself and the holy spirit to describe the different forms of our spiritual nature. What our liver does is different from what our kidneys do but they are both intergral parts of our body.

I can't believe people actually waste time wondering about stuff like this.

What does your own theology say on this question RGS?

 

[editec]

Why does this matter?

Will this be on the test, or something?

 

[Anguille]

Why not?

I gotta wonder why someone would wonder why I would wonder why anyone would wonder what the Trinity is all about.

[dilloduck]

You don't have to wonder just because someone else is.

There is no single entity. They are 3 separate things. And again the Bible is VERY clear on this.

I have an IDEA, stay out of this forum if you do not care to actually discuss what THIS forum is for.

ok--how about three separate entities acting in complete harmony ?

If that is so then that makes it very clear that Christianity is not a monotheistic faith.

I have an another IDEA. How's about you try and make me.

 

[maineman]

one God, three forms. Omnipotent Father, divine Son, sent to earth to walk in our shoes, explain the Holy Kingdon, and do redeem us all on the cross, Holy Spirit sent to intercede with us and for us.

Harmony, I can believe that, BUT most Christians do not teach that, they teach that Jesus is God and that the Holy Spirit is God. And they are wrong.

Jesus is the SON of God and he works for God. The Holy Spirit is a force of God that helps when required, again NOT God.

Read the Bible.
