Bible Question:
how to explain God the father son is one |
Bible Answer: .I see it like this analogy....a man may very well have many roles,or TITLES, in his life...for example,he may have roles/titles of "father","son","supervisor","coach",etc.These titles arent his true names,but they reflect the roles/jobs he has at a given moment.In the same sense,god was "father" in OT,leading his people with his presence...He became the role of the redemptive "Son" to secure our salvation...after He rose from dead and glorified,His role now till the endtime is as "Holy spirit"(or christ/God) IN us...He is same godhead of one,performing 3 separate functions to us,yet retaining His "Oneness",as the man in my analogy retains his uniqness,tho being many different titles in life.RE:"Father,Son and Holy Spirit are just "titles",they arent Gods true name...hence,Jesus says in John 1:1,He was the Word made flesh |
