He's one. I was once so confused after reading a discussion between a trinitarian and a modalist, that I asked Him to explain to me the Trinity and He said: Look at Jesus when He was on earth. That was 3 Persons in one body working together. The Father spoke, Jesus uttered the Words and the Spirit performed the Miracles when Jesus spoke. In Him the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily. Okay, so how does the process go? Does God as the Father think about what he wants Jesus and the Holy Spirit to do when God wants to fulfill a goal that he has? And they obey the Fathers will because they will want the same thing as the Father wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In music or voice there must needs be an initiator to the cadence of the rhythm. There must be a beat to a groove. There is nothing robotic about it. In fact this is the argument musicians with a finely tuned ear against mechanized music that floods the industry these days. Auto-tune etc. That is robotic. Three divine wills converging to the will of the one in the Trinity who is originator of the will is as organic as it gets. Also Jesus clearly has a will which he showed in Gethsemane. "Not my will but thy will be done." Also the Holy Spirit showed he has a will (Acts 13:2). I thought that everything the Father wants, the Holy Spirit and the Son also want.?That the Son and Holy Spirit don't have a will, but only obey the Fathers will?

On earth He had to say no to his flesh that wanted something else and that's not necessary anymore now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how does God go about when he wants to do something as the Holy Spirit or the Son? The conversation goes easier if you drop the word God and just speak of which one you are speaking about. God pertains to any of the three or all in most conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rely on the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to reveal things to me, to help me discern the scriptures and to live in this world I do not belong in. I know we were created in the image of the Godhead (Father, Son, Spirit) and have a mind, body and soul so that has to be something similar to how we can relate to them on a combined and individual way. It's so very amazing and miraculous how this works on a day to day basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
