Allow me to clarify for all of us Oneness believers. God is a Spirit. He has been that way for infinite time. God then decides that He wants to commune with people. He is now sick and tired of the same old same old with the angels. He wants people who He has given a free chiose to love and obey Him so He created this earth and everything in it. Now when Adam and Eve sinned they chose to cut off that relationship with God. God of course wants to restore that relationship because that was His original intention for creating us. God also wanted to dwell among us because He wanted to be with us so when the Exodus came along God had Moses create a temple wherein He could dwell. For God this eventually got old because He just wasnt quite close enough to us as He would like. And being that that which is spirit is spirit and that which is flech is flesh God just couldnt come down with all His glory and be like, "Here I am!" So God came up with a plan to take on human flesh. He chose a girl, a virgin girl, a girl who knew no man just to show us that He is the Almighty God, and He married her so to speak and she had a child. This child was no ordinary child it was God in the flesh, but because of the natural processes that God created Himself, He chose to be this child, to grow, and to then reveal Himself and regain the relationship that was lost years and years ago. So throughout His 33 years of living, God taught His wisdom that only the omniscience God would know. Then upon His death, He shed his blood for the sins of the world as a sacrifice because that was the only way that He set up for sins to be forgiven at that time. That was also as to say He overcame the flesh. That is something that no normal man has ever been able to overcome on his own, but God because He was a Spirit robed in flesh He was able to overcome the flesh obtaining the keys to death, hell, and the grave. After His death, God made His Spirit available as a gift so that us humans can oversome this flesh as well. That is when we here about the Holy Ghost(Spirit). The Holy Spirit is a small portion of God Himself that dwells in those that ask of Him. The reason why Jesus refered to God(Himself) as the Father was because that is who He was physically. Physically God was Jesus' father even though Jesus was God. Now I personally believe that God does not have three personalities. That is like saying God is crazy and deserves to be in a mental institution. No, God is God and He takes on different forms as well as positions. God is a God of unity as we see throughout the whole Bible. Why then would God DIVIDE Himself. There is ONE God, not three, not three in one, and not two, or two in one, but He is ONE God. |

HamsteRuiz: Your one-post Summary of the Bible, with all its anthropomorphic absurdities, would read fine, just fine, if you had begun it with "Once upon a time" and ended with "and they all lived happily ever after." Not since the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen have I read a more fascinating fairy tale. --Hank | ||||||
