Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: Oh, about those points ... 1,5, and 6 are correct, but 2-4 are not. The Father is not God, the Son is not God, and the Holy Spirit is not God. God is the Father, God is the Son, and God is the Holy Spirit. There is a difference. This is not heresy nor is it false teaching. I am not a false prophet I just have a different understanding of the Word than you, but I do not call you a false prophet just because of your different beliefs so I expect the same from you all. There is a different way of showing that someone is wrong other than calling them a false prophet and their teachings to be heresy. And who knows, if I am wright then that would put you in the position of blasheming the Holy Spirit which is the only unforgiveable sin. For your sake of just being safe I ask that you not call me or other people false prophets nor their teachings heresy. But like I was saying about the Godhead ... if the Father was God and the Son was God then the Son would have to be concidered the Father as well as of course the Holy Spirit, but that is not so. For how can the Father be the Son and the Holy Spirit when at His baptism we see all three at work. What I'm saying is that God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and because He is omnipresent He can be all three roles at the same time. It's like a business, you may be one person with three job descriptions. You still have to perform each individual job as though it was your only one but in reality you have three and because you do those three positions the business runs smoothly. In the begining there was no Father, Son, or Holy Spirit it was just God. In the New Testament God decided to change things and I clarify so no one gets the wrong impression. It's not that things that God created were not perfect cause they were, but we through our sin made it bad we made it not so perfect anymore. So God sought that it was time to change. So there we see that God took on the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God established this system so that He was the employer and He too was His employee so to speak. Therefore the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not God, but rather God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. |
