Bible Note: Hi John, With the help of the Holy Spirit, I'll do my best to show from the scriptures, that the bible identifies three distinct persons within the the Godhead. Matt 28: 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (three distinct persons). In Luke3:21-22, Shows that the Father and the Holy Spirit were present at the baptism of Jesus. "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus (the Son,the second person in the Godhead) also was baptized, and while He prayed, the heaven was opened- And the Holy Spirit (the third person) descended like a dove upon Him. And a voice (the Father)came from heaven and said 'this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. The title 'Lord' is given to the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matt 11: 25 Here Jesus prays to the Father and addresses Him as 'Lord'. Rom 15:6 Paul calls Jesus 'lord' The Father is God. 1 Cor 8:6 Yet for us, there is one God, the Father.... The Son (Jesus) is God. Hebrews 1: 8-9 But to the Son He (the Father) says ' Your throne O God, is forever and ever'. The Holy Spirit also shares the title 'Lord' read 2 Cor 3:17; as well as the title 'God' read Acts 5: 3-4 The bible says that there is one God. 'One in three and not three in one'. John 17: 21 Jesus says 'you, Father are in me, and I in you'. While the Father was in heaven,He was fully dwelling in Jesus at the same time. Just as the Father dwells in Jesus, He (Jesus) also dwells in the Father. (John 17:21) The Holy Spirit also dwells in Jesus. (Isa 42:1) Colossians 2:9 " For in Him (Jesus), dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily". Jesus said " I and my Father are one. (John10:30) read also John 10:30; John 14:9 To your second question and I'll give a short answer,no! I'm not affiliated with J.W. I hope these scriptures will help you to better understand the relationship that the Father shares with His Son and His Holy Spirit. God bless you |
