Three in one. Let's look at this a minute, we have God the father, Jesus who is God in the flesh, an God in the Spirit. This is a question that would be difficult to answer, in my opinion. My belief i

Ah. A good question. One could answer YES and NO.

If you read Hebrew scriptures closely, you will see what the early writers called The Second Yahweh. This did NOT compromise their anti-polytheistic belief that He is One God. Look at the furnace, and the 'angel' mentioned. Here 'angel' is a description and not a name (messenger). The pillar of cloud and the fire during the exodus. The burning bush. The mention of Elohim (plural) and many other descriptions of 'one like the son of man' which Yeshua (Jesus) adopted a number of times as a self description in later scriptures.

So it is seen in the Hebrew scriptures that Father and Son are apparent. When He sent 'the Comforter' to us in the NT scriptures, this is a description of Holy Spirit. Thus it appears like there are three distinct persons in the Godhead.

After the advent of our Lord and into the second century, Jewish writers downplayed their earlier thoughts and were avidly opposed to the Son of God in their later writings. They could not admit they had murdered God, so their writings changed considerably. It is quite confusing to the scholar that does not know the Tanach well. Several of the 'church fathers' were quite opposed to each other's views about this which clouds the issue further.

ONE, ONE and ONE is the way I see it. Three, but ONE.

no

God the Father is one being

Jesus the son of the Father is another being.

God spirit is holy, so its called the Holy Spirit, this is what we feel from God.

Jesus prayed to his god to save him.

I hope the writers you are referring to aren't NT writers--would you like verses/sources explaining how the NT writers clearly recognized Jesus as God?

Jesus is God in the NT. Would you like references for this doctrine?

You may post what you wish. Yeshua Himself proclaimed He was God the Son. "I and the Father are One" etc.

My belief is, yes all are One. But this is my personal interpretation which others may see differently. As I said, tuff question my friend.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
