Bible Question:
What do people think when they compare Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38? To me Jesus IS God the Father,son and Holy Spirit |
Bible Answer: Hi Sheila, I'm not sure what people thinks about these 2 different verses? The contexts are quite different. You appear to be confusing God's nature and taking a Jesus-only Oneness view? Orthodoxy clearly affirms that there is One God, in three separate persons, not Jesus manifesting Himself as the Father and Holy Spirit! The Athanasian Creed says this (in part): "The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one Eternal. As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, but one Uncreated, and one Incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one Almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And yet they are not three gods, but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit Lord. And yet not three lords, but one Lord." What church do you fellowship at and what leads you to this conclusion?
