God Is One Person

I believe Every person has a trinity in them, which is the soul, body and spirit. Paul, 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “And may the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord. The Lord's Trinity is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ also had the same Trinity, which is the Soul, Body and Spirit. The Trinity in Jesus Christ is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This makes one person, therefore God is one Divine Person, and that God is Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Trinity in God Jesus Christ is Divine, ours is human. The Son is the Father, and the Father is the Son. He who sees Him sees the Father. The Father and He are one. No one goes the Father, but by Him, which means, no can know a person's soul until they see how that person behaves. The Lord's love and doing good works is the Father. The Lord being sent by the Father, means, is His Divine Love had sent Him. Every person's love is their soul and life. Every person has soul, body and spirit, and this makes one person, just like God is one Person. God is a Man. When the Lord tolded His Disciple He will send the Holy Spirit from the Father, He meant from His Divine Love, which is the Father, He sends the Holy Spirit.

The spirit is what the person is.
The spirit of man is his mind and whatever proceeds from it. The man's spirit means simply his mind. It is that which lives after death, and it is then called a spirit, if good, an angelic spirit and afterwards an angel, if evil, a satanic spirit and afterwards a satan.

To All,
The sayings of Jehovah God the creator below contradicts the trinity of three Divine persons from eternity before creation. There was no Son before creation:

I am Jehovah and there is none else there is no God besides Me that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no God besides Me: I am Jehovah and there is none else Isaiah 45:5,6.

O Jehovah of Armies, God of Israel, that dwellest on the cherubim, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, over all the kingdoms of the earth Isaiah 37:16.

Have not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides Me, a just God and a Savior, there is none besides Me. Look unto Me that ye may be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else Isaiah 45:21, 22.

I am Jehovah, and besides Me there is no Savior Isaiah 43:11.

I am Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt acknowledge no God but Me; for there is no Savior besides Me Hoses 13:4.

Thus saith Jehovah the King of Israel, and his Redeemer Jehovah of Armies, I am the First and I am the Last, and besides Me there is no God Isaiah 44:6.

The Holy Trinity was not, until the same God who said the words above became Man, under the name Jesus Christ. A trinity is the soul, body and spirit one person. If God became Man, than He must have the samething, a Soul, Body and Spirit.

I believe the words saided by God in Genesis, "let us make make man", does not mean three Divine persons. It means one of God's name is called Elohim, which means God of gods. Elohim said to the angels, "Lets make man", which means, let us together regenerate him. The angels are little gods and so are we.

Man cannot be an image of God Elohim, after His likeness, unless God were in him and in his life from the inmost soul. That God is in man and, from the inmost, is his life, that God alone is life, and that men and angels are recipients of life from Him.

Isaiah 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

The Lord God and His Spirit have sent the speaker. Jehovah...

Our God is one God...

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Us is the one God...

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

The triune God is evident to all but the blind...
 
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Our God is one God.

In the "name" not "names" of the Father Son and of the Holy Ghost...

But God is one...

Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

The Holy Word was written in correspondences

The reason why, in ancient times, the idolatries of the nations originated from the knowledge of correspondences, was that all things visible on the earth have a correspondence; not only trees, but also beasts and birds of every kind, and likewise fishes, and all other things.

The ancients, possessing a knowledge of correspondences, made for themselves images that corresponded to heavenly things, and delighted in them because they signified things such as belong to heaven, and therefore to the church. They therefore set them not only in their temples, but also in their houses, not to be worshiped, but to call to remembrance the heavenly things they signified.

Consequently in Egypt and elsewhere there were images of calves, oxen, serpents, also of children, old men, maidens; because calves and oxen signified affections and powers of the natural man; serpents, the sagacity of the sensuous man; children, innocence and charity; old men, wisdom; and maidens, affections of truth; and so on.

When the knowledge of correspondences had been blotted out of remembrance, their descendants began to worship as holy, and at last as deities, the images and emblems set up by the ancients, because they stood in and about their temples.

So with other nations; as, with the Philistines at Ashdod, Dagon (concerning whom see 1 Sam. 5:1 to end), whose upper part was like a man, and his lower like a fish. This image was so devised because a man signifies intelligence, and a fish knowledge, which make one. It was also because they possessed a knowledge of correspondences that the ancients worshiped in gardens and groves, in accordance with the kinds of trees in them; and also upon mountains and hills.

For gardens and groves, signified wisdom and intelligence, and each particular tree something relating there; as the olive, the good of love; the vine, truth from that good; the cedar, rational good and truth. A mountain signified the highest heaven; and a hill, the heaven under it.

The knowledge of correspondences survived among a number of the orientals, even until the Lord's advent, as is evident from the wise men of the east who came to the Lord at his birth; and this was why a star went before them, and why they brought with them as gifts gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matt. 2:1-2, 9-11). For the "star that went before them" signified knowledge [cognitio] from heaven; "gold," celestial good; "frankincense," spiritual good; and "myrrh," natural good; from which three is all worship.

Nevertheless there was no knowledge of correspondences whatever among the Israelitish and Jewish nation, although everything in their worship, and all the judgments and ordinances delivered them through Moses, and all things of the Word, were nothing but correspondences.

The reason was that at heart they were idolaters, and of such a character that they were not even willing to know that anything of their worship signified what is celestial and spiritual; for they desired that all those things should be holy in themselves and in connection with them; so that if celestial and spiritual things had been disclosed to them, they would not only have rejected but would have profaned them. Profane means mixing truth and false.

Therefore heaven was so closed toward them that they scarcely knew that there is a life eternal. That this was the case is clearly evident from the fact that they did not acknowledge the Lord, although universal holy Scripture prophesied concerning Him, and foretold His advent; and they rejected Him for this sole reason - that He taught of a heavenly and not an earthly kingdom; for they wanted a Messiah who would exalt them above every other nation in the world, and not a Messiah who cared for their eternal salvation.

For the rest, they affirm that the Word contains within it many arcana that are called mystical; but are unwilling to learn that these refer to the Lord; they however are quite willing to learn when it is said that the reference is to gold.

I'm with SpiritualSon on this one. I simply don't see how their could be three personalities and still be one God. I like this quote by Mr. Stetson,

"An analogy I like to use is that if God is water, then God the Father would be water in the liquid form, which can also be changed into either steam or ice and can appear in all three forms simultaneously. The steam represents the Holy Spirit, which is an invisible, ethereal substance capable of being either omnipresent or concentrated, like a gas. The ice represents Jesus Christ, a specific crystallization of God into the form of a human body and soul. In that solid form, God interacts with the world in a specific way, with certain contingencies and limitations. That is why Christians have always believed that Christ is both fully human and fully divine."

I don't nessisaryly believe that the Father is the soul. But I'm very open to change. I currently believe that both The Father and the Holy Ghost are spirit. Humans are triparte beings and so is God; just not in the same way.

Elohim said to the angels, "Lets make man", which means, let us together regenerate him. The angels are little gods and so are we.

When God said, "Let us make man" he was counceling with His own will. Ephesians 1:11 (KJV) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

The angels are little gods and so are we.

WHAT!!! That sounds like Mormon theology as they believe man may become a god. According to Joseph Smith, "Here then is eternal life...to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you..."Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 306"

That same lie was perpetrated by Satan from the beginning that man may become a god.... Genesis 3:1-5, Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel 28:1-10.

Genesis 3:5 (KJV) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Explain this: God hath stood in the congregation of God, He will judge in the midst of the gods Psalm 82:1

Who in the sky shall be compared unto Jehovah? who among the sons of the gods shall be likened to Jehovah? Psalm 89:6.
Again:
Confess ye to the God of gods, confess ye to the Lord of lords Psalm 136:2-3.

Men also as being possessed of power are called "gods" as in Psalm 82:6; John 10:34-35. Moses also is said to be "a god to Pharaoh" Exodus 7:1.

Jesus said, Is it not written in your Law, I said, Ye are gods? John 10:34. This is written in Psalm 82:6.

For this reason the word "God" in the Hebrew is in the plural number-"Elohim." But as the angels do not possess the least power of themselves, indeed they acknowledge, but solely from the Lord, and as there is but one God, therefore by "Jehovah God" in the Word is meant the Lord alone.

But where anything is effected by the ministry of angels, as in the first chapter of Genesis, He is spoken of in the plural number. Here also because the celestial man, as man, could not be put in comparison with the Lord, but with the angels only, it is said, the man "is become as one of us, knowing good and evil" that is, is wise and intelligent.

God said, "Let us make man in our image after our likeness."
an image of God was a receiver of God, and since God is Love itself and Wisdom itself, the image of God is the receiving of love and wisdom from God in the man; but the likeness of God was the perfect likeness and complete appearance of love and wisdom being present in man and of belonging to him. 'For man does not know but that he loves and is wise of himself, or that he wills good and understands truth of himself. In fact not a whit is of himself, but from God. It is only God who loves of Himself and is wise of Himself, because God is Love itself and Wisdom itself or good itself and truth itself. The likeness or appearance that love and wisdom, or good and truth are present in man as if they belonged to him is what makes a man human, and able to be linked to God and so to live forever. The consequence of this is that man's humanity is the result of his ability to will good and understand truth exactly as if he did so of himself, while at the same time knowing and believing that he does so from God. For to the extent that he knows and believes this, God places His image in man; it would be otherwise if he believed it was of himself and not from God.'

How can a person receive any love and wisdom, keep it and reproduce it, unless he feels that it is his own? And how can he be linked with God by love and wisdom, unless he is granted some reciprocal function to permit linking? No linking is possible without reciprocation, and the reciprocal function is man's loving God and doing His will, as if he acted of himself, yet believing that these things come from God. Again, how can a man live forever, unless he is linked to the everlasting God? So how can a person be human, without that likeness in him?

God's name is called Elohim, because He is the God of gods, which means God of angels in heaven and men on earth. Since God's Divine Essence is Divine Good and Divine Truth, angels in heaven and men on earth, who follow God's Divine Order, are also forms of good and truth, but a lesser god. Jesus said to the Jews, Jesus said, Is it not written in your Law, I said, Ye are gods? John 10:34.

There is only one God and man is not a god...

Psalms 82:6-7 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Poole writes:

Joh 10:35
Ver. 35. If God dignified those men (and many of them were also vile and sinful men) with the title of gods, because they had a commission to govern people according to the law of God; and none must contradict what God hath said in his word; there can be no falsehood in the revelation of any part of the Divine will.

Exodus 7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.


To us there is only one God.

1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

That long drawn out post didn't say much... :fadein:
 
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
