In order for someone to understand the Trinity we must understand who God is. God is Spirit. He is not human or such but Rather Spirit. God who is Spirit created the earth, the galaxies and so forth. He is and was ONE always. There was not 2 nor three but 1 God. The one God in creating all things became the Father. We call Him Father God or God the Father. Now God the Father is still the SPIRIT. This God who is Spirit dwelt in and around man. The Prophets spoke by the Holy Spirit. All that statement means is God who is Spirit is HOLY hence, Holy Spirit. Not 2 spirits but 1 spirit who is HOLY. This Holy Spirit is Father in Creation. Some people will say at this point we have a Binity. Some people well even go so far to say that Jesus the Son of God existed at this point. Which I believe is a gross error in doctrine. They may even resort to saying in Genesis 1 when God says WE is proof of the trinity. That is wrong. The Host of Heaven is the angels and they are spirit, so the WE is God talking to the angels and making a declaration rather than a cojoing. OK we'll move on. As for the BINITY that is wrong also. God is still one and He is Spirit, there is not 2 spirits up there but one. Now we come to the time when this 1 God comes to the world in flesh form. He is born a babe in a manager and even thou the flesh is humanity the Spirit is in this child. As the Flesh matures the same Spirit dwells in this man named Jesus. The difference between Jesus and the Prophets is that Jesus has the Spirit UNHINDERED. Meaning not a part of God but the Fullness of God. You see you and I have a part of God in us by the Holy Spirit but Jesus was God, the HOLY SPIRIT in the Flesh. When the flesh died the Spirit did not. So when Jesus rose from the Dead, the flesh rose from the dead by the HOLY SPIRIT. As for the Flesh it was transformed into something else. So now we believe in God the Father, The Son and the Comforter. These three are 1 and I will go so far to say 1 HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY SPIRIT IN CREATION AS FATHER, THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE FLESH AS SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MAN AS INTERCESSOR AND COMFORTER. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS GIVEN US A NAME and this NAME IS JESUS. THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES. GOT QUESTIONS? Let me know. Got another biblical view let me know. I pray this help you understand the trinity in pure biblical sense. THE LORD GOD IS ONE!!

Do you believe in the Trinity? PART 1
Today I was listening to a commercial by David Jeremiah probably one of my favorite preachers. In this short message he stated that we need to come to the committee of 3 that we have, Us, the father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. As much as i love to hear Pastor Jeremiah there are somethings I can accept and there are somethings I can not.
The trinity has always been a tricky subject among Christians. People usually avoid it by saying, "Oh just believe it is too hard to explain." Then they move on to other things. Some people has even made teh Trinity a matter of Salvation. If you don't believe in the trinity you are not a Christian or you are not saved. I guess these are no different to me than those who believe this about baptism or honoring the sabbath by worshipping on Saturday. It always makes me wonder why anyone would place the belief of another doctrine to the doctrine of Salvation. I mean the only reason Mormons, Jehovah Witness and other cults are what we say they are is not because of all the stuff they believe but rather it is what they add to salvation. Anyone who adds anythign to salvation like their belief of Sabbath, Baptism or Trinity is just as guilty as they are. Tell me how this sounds, For god so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him, and Baptism and Trinity, and Sabbath, or _________ shall be saved." Not really good huh? Yes, there are certain doctrines that are heretical but that is because they take away from the Diety of Jesus. But not explaining or believing the trinity the way you believe it is not one of them. Just for the record I believe in the Trinity. God who is our Father and Jesus Christ who is God in the Flesh, and comforter who is God in the Spirit. TO BE CONTINUED......
