1 | Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? | Is 9:6 | inHzsvc | 5215 | ||
I think you are trying to understand what man simply cannot understand. In John 10:30, Jesus plainly said, "I and my Father are one." And again in John 14:9, Jesus says, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Thomas says to Christ in John 20:28, "My Lord and my God." So, we see from these passages that Jesus is God--the Creator. However, you have sufficiently proven that they are seen as separate many times as well. We must remember, we don't serve three Gods. We serve one True and Living God, in three distinct personalities---yet, they are One. This is something that a finite mind just can't understand and surely can't comprehend. God bless. |

2 | Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? | Is 9:6 | Makarios | 5271 | ||
Yes, I understand that our ways are not God's ways (Isaiah 55:8,9; Romans 11:33; 1 Cor. 13:12) and that we do not understand the things of God. It is like trying to pour the ocean into a bucket- is our minds trying to comprehend the things of God. I agree with you on this, and I do not hold all of the answers. I wanted to explain how one who believes in the Trinity, as I do (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit) can explain Isaiah 9:6. However, I disagree with you that those Three are 'personalities'. These are Three 'Persons', all existing as one God. Each 'Person' is inseparable and omniscient, being fully God in their own right. However, where One is, the other Two are also, being omniscient. Therefore, if we reject (or say that He doesn't exist) One person of the Trinity, that being God the Father or the Holy Spirit, then we reject the Son also. If we reject the Son, than we reject the Others also. Therefore we have a TriUne God, the Three in One, and One God in heaven that has created us. We know that there is One God (1 Cor. 8:4, James 2:19, John 5:44, 17:3, Romans 3:29-30, 16:27, Gal. 3:20, Eph. 4:6, 1 Tim. 2:5). There is also three persons who are called God. The Father is God (1 Peter 1:2). Jesus is God (John 20:28, Heb. 1:8). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). All Three are said to be omnipresent: the Father (John 4:19-24), the Son (Matt. 28:20), and the Holy Spirit (Psalm 139:7). All three are omniscient: the Father (Psalm 139:1-2), the Son (Matt. 9:4), and the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 2:10). All three are omnipotent: the Father (1 Peter 1:5), the Son (Matt. 28:18), and the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:19). Furthermore, holiness is ascribed to each Person: the Father (Rev. 15:4), the Son (Acts 3:14), and the Holy Spirit (John 16:7-14). Eternity is ascribed to each person: the Father (Psalm 90:2), the Son (Micah 5:2,John 1:2,Rev. 1:8,17), and the Holy Spirit (Heb. 9:14). And each is individually described as the Truth: the Father (John 14:6,7), the Son (Rev. 3:7), and the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:6).Matthew 28:19 reaffirms the three-in-oneness Godhead. It is highly revealing that the word "name" is singular in the Greek, indicating that there is one God, but there are three distinct persons with the Godhead- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus asserted the unity of the three by combining them all within the bounds of the single Name, and then throwing into emphasis the distinctness of each by introducing them in turn with the repeated article. Very clearly, then, the Scriptures affirm that there is one God but within the unity of the Godhead, there are three coequal and coeternal Persons- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. | ||||||

Why cannot we just take Bible and beleive. As you are a Dad,Husband,Son,Uncle,Nephew,Cousin,and many more and you are one (1). surely God could be manifested as Father in creation, Son in redemption and Spirit in regeneration and be one Spirit not a person thanks for discussion | ||||||
4 | Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? | Is 9:6 | inHzsvc | 5331 | ||
He is manifested in the way that you speak and He is One God. However, at the baptism of Christ, we see all three separated--the Father spoke from Heaven, the Son was baptized on Earth, and the Spirit descended upon Him like a dove. They are One, but, at times we see them separate. Do I understand this? Absolutely not!!! God bless. |
