Hi, lynn77! There are many Biblical passages that, when viewed isolated, could confound and even misguide us. There are many Biblical passages where we can see three distict Persons of God: Matthew 28:19 Luke 1:35 Luke 3:21-22 John 14:26 John 14:23 John 16:13-15 Hebrews 1:8-9 Each one of the above passages has either three distinct Persons or at least two--the third one though not mentioned is still part of God's unity. There are some people who want to believe that Jesus is a lesser entity than the Father... Reading only one Biblical text they could surmise that they are correct in their belief... But the Bible has many expressions that, when viewed in isolation, could support almost any statement. Jesus said that He and the Father are One; He said that to know Him is to know the Father... But He also said that the Father was greater than He... But in John 14:10 He states that the Father abides in Him: He asked do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? We could go on in circles trying to define Jesus' Divinity, or for that matter the existence of God as the Father, the Son , and the Holy Spirit... It takes not logic and earthly wisdom but spiritual wisdom, humility, obedience and FAITH! Coming to God otherwise would be like trying to transfer all of the water in the ocean into a backyard pool! (Impossible!) Forget about placing the Father at this level, and the Son at that level, and the Holy Spirit at yet another level! Listen to God's Word and realize the Truth: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God! If that does not clarify it enough for you try this one: You yourselves are my witnesses, declares Yahweh, and the servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that it is I. No god was formed before me, nor will be after me. I, I am Yahweh, and there is no other Saviour but me. I have revealed, have saved, and have proclaimed, not some foreigner among you. You are my witnesses, declars Yahweh. I am God, yes, from eternity I am. No one can deliver from my hand; when I act, who can thwart me? (Isaiah 43:10-13) It is as clear as sunlight: there has never been a god before, or after God came into existence: and He has been there since ever and will be there forever! Do not attempt to limit God to our finite understanding... let Him move you and guide you to His Truth; you will surely be set free! God Bless! Angel |
