Bible Question: God,Jesus,and the Holy Spirit are one not seperate, the Holy Spirit cannon't be seen,it is within,is this not correct? |
Bible Answer: Hello Terry, Trinitarian theology would state that God is one is essence, yet 3 distinct Persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. In otherwords, God is a unity of three persons. "In the NT the Holy Spirit comes to represent both the presence and activity of God and the continuing presence of Jesus Christ in the church. Finally there are passages in which all three persons of the Trinity are mentioned in the same context. The most important of these are the ‘Apostolic Benediction’ of 2 Cor. 13:14 (the earliest trinitarian formula known) and the baptismal formula of Matt. 28:19 (perhaps a development from the simpler formula reflected in Acts 2:38; 8:16; and elsewhere; see also 1 Cor. 12:4-6; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Pet. 1:2; Jude 20-21)."
