ETERNAL GOD

Dear Fiosh

Wonderful thread dear sister.

Mike is a dear "Oneness" brother of mine and he asked this question on another board.

Can You tell me where You read God The Son or God The Holy Spirit?

So, I've decided to reexamine The Godhead with Mike and I picked God's eternal existence as a starting point.

I believe God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is an accurate way to describe each person of God, as He is revealed in the scriptures.

There is One Eternal God!

God is The Eternal Father, The Eternal Son and The Eternal Holy Ghost.

One Eternal God

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:

Hi brother Joe,

There is much wisdom in your post. Thank you.

I don't know that I can "add {much} understanding" to your explanation. Let me say this, though. Over the past year the Holy Spirit has been prodding me toward a better intellectual understanding of what I believe. My faith tends to be about 60% mystical.....or feeling; and 40% reason and knowledge.

It took me a while to realize what God was wanting to do in me. But I think I'm beginning to see it now. He wants me to put more effort into learning as much as I can about His word, and not only how it applies to my life, but to the ever-more-secular world we live in.

"Feeling" is comforting and pleasant. It takes no effort and is strictly a gift from God.

Studying His word, although a blessing and a Spirit-filled exercise, takes effort. I must work against my lazy human nature. I can't just sit like a child and hold out my hands waiting for them to be filled. I must roll up my sleeves and sweat a little.

God is revealing to me that "feeling" is sorta like the milk Paul talks about. Working and studying to understand the deeper truths is the meat. When you consume meat you can't simply swallow it, you have to cut it up first, chew on it, and then take time to digest it.

I'm on a new quest for the meat of the word.

God bless,

Fiosh

Jesus is God, he is Lord,

and Yes I would worship him if I was before him right now.

I agree.

I did not read about Saul questioning the authority of the sudden light that flashed around him. And he even fell to the ground.

The first question is a no brainer.

Your second question......how would you know it was Christ?

The same way John knew who it was that spoke to him. Rev. 1:11-18 If you know Him now you will know Him when you stand before Him.

CREATOR GOD

One Awesome God

Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (Galatians 4:8-9)

The Creator Father

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (Isaiah 64:8)

The Creator Son

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3)

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (Colossians 1:15-17)

The Creator Holy Ghost

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. (Job 33:4)

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. (Job 26:13)

Love, Joe

Yes and Yes!

Apart from John 8:58, I would also like to quote the following verses

John Chapter 9 we read Jesus healing the man who was born blind and the subsequent investigation of the pharisees into the miracle-incident...Here we read the testifying faith of the blind man! It really lifted me up

35- Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said , "Do you, believe in the Son of Man?"

36- "Who is he , sir?", the man asked."Tell me so that I may believe in him."

37- Jesus said, "You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you."

38- Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshipped him

This man who was born blind literally, had his eyes opened in every true sense..Hallelujiah!

So are you saying that all the people who claimed to see Christ over the last few years actually saw Him?
