Bible Question: I am new believer. Heard couple different answers. Are God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit one? |
Bible Answer: Hi Cmorgan, Welcome to the Family and the Forum! It's such a joy to see my Family grow and grow. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Joh 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. Mar 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Yes, they are one. I'm sure someone else on the Forum will fill in what I have not been able to supply. The only way I can attempt to explain it is like this: In God's eyes: man unmarried equals 1 woman unmarried equals 1 That man and that woman marry each other equals 1. They are two, separate, but one flesh. I pray this helps get you started, but the concept of 3 individuals, separate, being One is just beyond our finite comprehension. Cheri |
