Our Father is the only true God; one Being; like the substance of the sun in the sky. Our Father; a Spirit (like the sun's substance is not a solid) - has a Son; Jesus; begotten Spiritually. The "Light of the world", the Son Jesus Christ is like the light proceeding from the sun's substance. Although both the sun's substance and the light are not solid matter, these are the source of all that science can define as the most substantial, enduring 'things' known to man. As sun and the light thereof are as one, so, too are Father and Son one Spirit. The sun and its light; as one; are the source of life on earth. So too, the Spirit of the Father and Son is the omnipresent Source of all life in creation.
There are not three Gods. There is only one. The phrase ‘God the Father’ occurs 13 times in the Bible.
1Cor 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
The term "God" is used 4, 473 times in Scripture. It is never used to refer to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
4,473 times, "God" refers to the Father and/or the Son. (Gen 1:1, Joh 1:1) Not once out of 4,473 times, is the term "God" employed to refer to the Holy Spirit. In the entire Bible, neither the Father, nor Jesus the Son ever talks to the Spirit - not once. From Genesis to Revelation, the Spirit never says a single word to either the Father or the Son. There is absolutely no Divine communication with, or worship of the Spirit - ever. Why?
If the Spirit is a conscious Being, whose identity is separate and independent from both the Father and the Son, why not worship Him?
Why not pray to Him? If the Spirit can be prayed to, then what could be wrong with praying to the Spirit, rather than to the Father through the Son?
If we are to be baptized into a literal name of the Spirit, what is his personal first name?
The word ‘Spirit’ is not a name; it is merely a title. Is there any person you can think of who does not have a literal, personal first name? Since the Spirit has no real name, but we are to baptize “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Ghost” (Mat. 28:19), what is the “name” of the holy Ghost? In other words, is the ‘name’ of the holy Ghost literal, or spiritual? (Spiritual; name = character)
In every single specific example of baptism in the Bible, what is the only name used? Act 2:38 Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ…. 8:12…in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 8:16 …only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 19:4 …John verily baptized… that they should believe on Him …Christ Jesus. 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Rom 6:3 …so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ…
Where is the holy Spirit’s throne? (doesn’t exist) Rev 22:3 …but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it…
Paul, James, Peter and John: “Greetings and salutations: from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Beings): Rom 1:7, 1Cor 1:3, 2Cor 1:2, Gal 1:3, Eph 1:2, Php 1:1-2, Col 1:2, 1Thes 1:1, 2Thes 1:2, 1Tim 1:1-2, 2Tim 1:1-2, Tit 1:1-4, Phil 1:1-3, Jam 1:1, 1Pe 1:1-2, 2Pe 1:1-2, 1Joh 1:1-3, 2Joh 1:3
Jesus; Son of God represents the Father to us; ‘God with us’. Isa 9:6 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. 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.
Jesus is possessed by the Father; filled with the fullness of the Father’s Spirit. Prov 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. Mat 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him…
Like the Father, Jesus Son of God IS a Divine Spirit. John 4:24 God is A Spirit… 2Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit… 1Cor 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Jesus) was made a quickening spirit. The Father and the Son ARE Spirit; two Individuals; One Spirit. Our breath/spirit are owned by our Creator: Ez 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you… 1Cor 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit… through him (Jesus) we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (2:18)
Jesus IS the Truth. John 14:6 Jesus saith…, I am … the Truth… The Spirit “of Truth” - IS the Spirit of Jesus. When the Spirit is in us, is Jesus absent? John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter (G3875), that He may abide with you for ever; 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (Jesus, speaking of the Comforter uses “He” / “I” interchangeably.)
Who is our ‘Advocate’; our ‘Comforter’? - 1John 2:1 …we have an advocate (G3875) with the Father, Jesus Christ…
(G3875; paraklētos; intercessor; consoler; comforter.)
The Holy Spirit is Jesus in Person; the Word; the Truth; the Breath; the Life of Father God.
John 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the holy Spirit. 6:63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life.
How many separate, autonomous, individual beings are the image; the likeness of God? Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The image and likeness of God is 2 separate individuals who share one matrimonial; harmonious spirit.
2 beings; Adam & Eve were one spirit. Gen 2:23-24: And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man…they shall be one flesh. 1Cor 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
How many separate, autonomous Spirit-Beings are there? (2): Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14:23 …If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 14:24 ...and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
