A true mystery why not just take it for what he says. If you asked Christ as your personal savior you believed this did you not and now are saved by his grace? Faith, he was God in the Flesh born of a virgin and died for you and left his holy spirit to help us and guide us. Listen to this prove to me we are not Jesus in the flesh if we are saved since we are the body, his bride? WoW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one who believes God and Jesus Christ are 'one" God explain these Scriptures? In what way are you having a problem with these scriptures? Are you looking at it as God and Jesus sharing the exact same body in the literal sense or how can Jesus be one with God being of flesh and bone? Please explain how exactly you see a conflict here? When a man and a women married they become ONE flesh according to God. Of course this can not be in the literal sense. Is this a fair example of what you might be struggling with?

FOR YOURSELF!!!! let me know if you need me to list some of the verses for you as they pertain to the "trinity" your brother in Christ!

How does one who believes God and Jesus Christ are 'one" God explain these Scriptures? Are they two God's? We cannot worship something that is not God, yet we are commanded to worship Christ, to pray to Christ, we know that Christ has always existed with God. The answer of course is all of the above, that Christ is God, Christ was a man, and God is the Father. Any attempt to separate Christ from God, is an attack by Satan on the divinity of Christ and is one of the oldest works of Satan since the resurrection, and his most effective attack on our faith. To believe that Christ is not God is the Spirit of the anti-Christ. You cannot be a Christian and deny the Trintiy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my own understanding on questions such as these. I am interested in what other Christians believe regarding this doctrin. The Word, who was in the beginning with God, and is addressed as "him" in John 1:3, which proves He was a member of the Godhead, and not the Word of God, or God's Word, divested Himself of His divinity and became flesh. He lived and died as a man, was resurrected as the first of the first fruits in His Glorified Flesh and Bone Body. What was Jesus asking the Father when He prayed to the Father, this prayer?: "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, AS WE ARE" (John 17:11). And this prayer, "That they MAY BE ONE; as thou, Father art IN ME, and I IN THEE, that they MAY BE ONE IN US: that the world may believe that thou has sent me" (John 17:21). "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, even AS WE ARE ONE: I in them, and thou IN ME, that they may be made perfect IN ONE; and that the world may know etc., (John 17:22-23). "And I have declared unto them thy name, and I will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, AND I IN THEM" (John 17:26). Was Jesus praying to the Father to keep His disciples and all His followers "one in unity" as He and the Father were. Or was Jesus asking the Father to allow all His disciples, followers, and those who believed in Him to get inside one or all of them and form "one body" as many ministers believe and teach Jesus and the Father are?

Not trying to be rude, but your sentence structure makes it a little unclear what you are saying here. Would you please clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
