shing - Chances are that "your Bible" and "my Bible" share a common bond, because "my Bible" also is decidedly monotheistic from Genesis to Revelation. But it also teaches trinitarianism, or the triunity of God, and from your post I gather that you could use some tutoring on this biblical doctrine. For starters, why not visit the following link: http://www.gotquestions.org/trinitarianism.html .... Now let's look at a passage of Scripture together. Turn to Matthew 3:13-17 -- go ahead, use "your Bible" if you wish -- and you will see Matthew's account of Jesus' baptism. Look at three segments with me, please. I'm using the KJV, but use whatever version you customarily use. (1) "And Jesus, when he was bapized" -- This is God the Son, right? (2) "and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him." -- This is God the Holy Spirit, don't you agree? (3) "And lo a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." -- This clearly is God the Father, isn't that true? ..... So here in two verses of Scripture we have one of the clearest manifestations in all of the Bible of the Triunity. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT that all three Persons of the Trinity are involved here on the occasion of Jesus' baptism. The Son is baptized, the Spirit descends and the Father speaks. ..... Additionally you may wish, as Kalos has pointed out, to avail yourself of a multitude of posts on the Trinity that are in this Forum's archives. And, finally, I'd strongly recommend that you get yourself a good book on systematic theology -- Wayne Grudem's comes readily to mind -- and study it. I've discovered that it is far better and infinitely wiser to avail oneself of the wisdom of saints, who have done an enormous amount of trail blazing, many of them long before I was born, than to fly by the seat of my pants and be forced to reinvent the wheel every day. We see all too prevalently in our time pitiful examples of men and women who have forsaken orthodoxy and in attempting to "reinvent the wheel" on their own, they have created a monster of deception, gutting the church of sound doctrine and replacing it with various brands of "feel good religion." --Hank | ||||||

John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily 1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. I understand the mystery is difficult, be patient continue to seek and ye shall find. 1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Lord Bless You |
