Why, Yes! I Don't!

     Tonight we had about a 2 hour discussion on the Trinity.  The subject was on Jesus The Begotten.  From there it went into the Trinity.  It was very good to say the least.  Of course it probably was to me and those who love these discussions.
     So at the end someone came and asked me if I believed in the TRINITY?  So here is what I do believe.  I know as does everyone, the Trinity is a man made description of a concept which is seen in the Bible.  Not directly taught just seen.  (EMPHASIS ADDED)  There is no real teaching of it in the Bible other than the interchanging of words of Father, Son, and Spirit.  With that said and that understood here is what I believe is the TRUTH and is TAUGHT and PREACHED and UNDERSTOOD IN THE BIBLE.

1)  I believe there is ONLY 1 God.
2)  This 1 God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
3)  This 1 God became Flesh and we saw Him as the Son Of God.
4)  This 1 God in the flesh died and was buried and rose from the dead.
5)  I believe that this God has given us the Name of Jesus, in which all those who believe in Him shall be saved.
6)  This 1 God deals with humanity by living in all those who believed in Him and the Sacrifice on the Cross.

7)  I believe when I go into heaven I will see and only be with this 1 God.

     So this is what I believe and this is what I know is the truth.  Anything more or less is man's definition and grasp of what they are trying to explain.  Every time I meet someone who does not like my aspect of Trinity, which by the way is what the Bible teaches, they always seem to think they have a better answer. 
      It's funny thou because no matter what they say they always end up with the word, it just a mystery and no one can understand.  All that tells me is that their concept of Trinity is not important to humanity and their salvation or else God would have made it clear.  WHICH BY THE WAY, I do not agree.  I believe God has made it very clear and understandable.  It's just those who believe in the Trinity refuse to believe in any other way then to say it is a mystery hard to explain. 
     It's kind of like a rule to a bad game.  I'm thinking of a number from 1 to 1 million and after you have said every number, we are all wrong, and when asked what is the number their answer is, I don't know but it was not any of the ones you said.
    
     God the Father in Creation  -   God the Son in Salvation  -  God Living in Us by and through the Spirit. 


     This is what the Bible Teaches and what the bibles shows.  PERIOD.  Of course maybe some people prefer to guess a number from 1 to 1 million.  LOL

TRINITY PART 2 - PLEASE READ PART 1 first!

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!!
