Subject: Is God ONE or is God THREE? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, Part 2 Matthew 23:9, "But do not be called *rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth your father; for (One) [Spirit] is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called leaders; for One [God] is your Leader, that is, Christ." [Man, not a mere man]. 1 John 5:5, "And who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that (Jesus) [Spirit, for we know no man now according to the flesh] is the Son of God? This is the One [God] who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; [Man, not a mere man] not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood." Mark 12:32, "The scribe said to Him, 'Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is One, and there is no One else besides Him; And to love (Him) [God] with all the heart...is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." Mark 12:27, "David himself calls Him 'Lord': and so in what sense is He his (Son?) [Spirit] Deuteronomy 4:39, "Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the Lord, He is *God [Spirit] in heaven and on the earth below; there is no other." Hosea 12:9, "But *I have been the Lord your God since the land of Egypt; Hosea 13:4, "Yet *I have been the Lord your God since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any (God) [God] except Me, For there is no Savior besides Me.[Man] I cared for you in the wilderness, In the land of drought. As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And being satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me. [Spirit] Hosea 13:7, "So *I will be like a lion to them;..." Hosea 13:14, "Shall *I ransom them from the power of Sheol?" Here is a four part sermon for some preacher out there; But I, Yet I, So I, and Shall I. But for our discussion about the one true God, this is my interpretation of John 4:23,24 for what it is worth, "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and truth; for such people the *Father [Spirit] seeks to be His worshipers. God is (Spirit) [God], and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit [Man, not a mere man] and truth." I would disagree with you Tim if you say that we have to think of Jesus as a man. Let me know if I have typed anything that you can comment on. From the heart, Ray |
