2 | God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit one person? | Col 2:9 | rabban | 192021 | ||
There is one God and within His Godhead are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are not one person, for they speak with one another (e.g. Mark 1.11). Thus Jesus prayed constantly to His Father. As has been pointed out we define Him in English as one God in three persons. But this is because English does not have adequate words with which to express the situation. (Latin is a little better for the purpose because it has 'persona' which does not quite mean a person). We see a 'person' as an individual, but God is not three individuals. So we have to put in a proviso, 'but not individual persons in the way that human persons are individuals'. Within God are three inter-communicating personalities, Father, Son and Holy Spirit although they are One essence. But we know this because it has been revealed to us. However, understand God we cannot, nor ever will, until possibly that day when we see Him face to face. For He is Spirit. And we do not even understand our own spirits. How then can we understand the God Who is Spirit (John 4.24) In Him |
