1 | Jesus and God the Father not the same? | Col 3:17 | luv2study | 54504 | ||
They are absolutely different!!! I used to ask myself the same question until I came upon some information that aswered my question. No where in the Bible is the word "Trinity" used. The idea of the trinity had been on the minds of the early monks in the Catholic church. At the Council of Nicea in 325 a.d., the monks talked about whether the trinity really existed for about a month and then they voted on it. Obviously it passed, but I have read too many verses in the Bible to show otherwise. I have trouble acknowledging a doctrine that was voted on and seems much too confusing to be something of God. As for the verses that are quoted above, it always says "through" Jesus. Jesus Christ is the key to our salvation and our return to Heavenly Father. It is "through" Jesus Christ that all things all possible. I hope this has helped answer your question. :) |

There are not three gods so to speak there is one God(the Father) manifested three ways (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). There is no "Trinity" but there is One God, One Faith, and One Baptism. And I have the Scriptures to prove it too! | ||||||

Are these three "manifestations" simultaneously existent? In other words, do they exist at the same time, such as we see at Jesus' baptism and the transfiguration and Revelation 4? Do these "manifestations" communicate with each other (the Son praying to the Father and the Father audibly answering the Son and the Spirit praying to the Father along with us), do things to each other (sending one another, obeying one another, giving to one another), and refer to each other in the third person (Jesus referring to the Father as "He")? I agree that there are not three gods. That is not Trinitarian theology. --Joe! |

4 | Jesus and God the Father not the same? | Col 3:17 | HamsteRulz | 54743 | ||
In the Old Testament God made his habitation the temple. That is where you could find God, but only the priests could commune with him. God decided to change things so He created Himself flesh or a body for Him to dwell in. That body was called Jesus. The reason why God needed to create His own flesh and not use someone else was because He wanted to rule us human-beings. Being God was a Spirit that gave Him the ability to control the Spiritual Realm just like in order to be President of the U.S.A you have to first be a citizen. Back when Adam and Eve sinned God's direct control over humanty was lost and in order to regain that possition He must first overcome the flesh. He lived, resisted temptation, did miracles, died, and resurected and in doing all of that He regained His control over us. Now the Holy Ghost(Spirit) is a piece of God that He gives as a gift to dwell in us so that we can be part of the Spirit realm. "That which is spirit is spirit and that which is flesh is flesh." When we partake of His Spirit we become part of Him forming the body of Christ. And through His Spirit we are given the power over the angels and demons, over principalities and powers and rulers of wickedness in high places. |
