Bible Note: The problem here is that you are giving your own definition to the word 'person' Person does not necessarily mean 'individual' or 'human being'. Our problem is always in finding human language which can be used to describe God. Certainly God is not three individuals, nor is He three human beings. In fact strictly the word used throughout history has been 'persona' which is not as strong as person. True the Father is Spirit, the Son is Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is Spirit. And the Spirit of the Son became man. This latter fact empohasises the distinctions within the Godhead. God is One and yet within Him is a threeness, and this threeness is intercomunicating and inter-personal. Thus Father communicates with Son, and Son with Father, and both communicate with the Spirit. Their relationship is inter-personal. For convenience we speak of three persons. We have no other word to use. But we must put the in proviso that God is not three separate individuals. Jesus clearly revealed this when He said, 'He who has seen Me has seen the Father'. In other words so close is the relationship between Father and Son that to see One is to see the other. Nevertheless the fact is that the Son became man and the Father did not. Thus they are not simply modes of the same Being. There is a separateness between them. |
