You said, I quote:
"Jesus did a miracle through the power of the Holy Spirit..."
Jesus worked thru the power of the Holy Spirit. Yet you also said elsewhere that the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same, too. Now, is Jesus and the Holy Spirit both working? Or did Jesus work thru the power of the Holy Spirit? Which is it? Do they not both have power? Are they not both God? Why would Jesus need to reference the Holy Spirit (God) if it was ultimately Jesus who is God?
Jesus is God come as a Man.
Is Jesus and God all that different?
Jesus is God come as a Son of Man.
So God was testifying to Jesus who is God? Which is it?
Where do you get that God was testifying “to” Jesus?
God testified to all that what Jesus and the apostles said was true.
Hebrews 2:4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Acts 14:3
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is God. So Jesus who is God did the miracles thru the Holy Spirit who is God.
They are all the same. God did the miracles. Jesus did the miracles. The Holy Spirit did the miracles.
But Jesus is able to cast out and do things, too. Right? If someone calls Jesus evil for casting out a devil, how is that any different? I thought Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. Both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are both God.
Just think about it harder.
Yes, absolutely. The Father, the Word (i.e. the Son), and the Holy Spirit all make up one God. They each can dwell within one another and they all exist in harmony as one God. They are not three separate gods but they exist as one God together. These three that bear record in Heaven all are one God. If they were not three, then they could not bear record in Heaven as three. Do you get it?
There is only One God, and He is the Father.
That is what the scriptures say.
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father,
Jesus is God come as a Son of Man, a Son of God.
That tells us that Jesus is God, and then must be the Father, because there is only One God, and He is the Father.
There are variations of those who believe in the Trinity or the Godhead. Just because someone had written down an official creed does not mean I have to adhere to it. That person is infallible and was just a man. I go by what the Scriptures say; And the Scriptures clearly teach the Trinity.
The word trinity is not even in the Bible. You use a word men in falseness made up, and they made a doctrine with a definition that is not right. If you do not believe in the trinity doctrine as stated, then you should not say you are a trinitarian.
I believe within the Trinity or the Godhead that all three persons exist in being as one God and they each have the capacity to dwell within each other and yet also remain distinctive within their unity.
What you believe does not make sense. You are saying the three are God but our different. That makes three different Gods. There are not three different Gods. There are three and the three are One and the same God.
In other words, why would Jesus say that the Father dwells within Him if Jesus was the Father? Why would Jesus say He does the will of His Father if He was the Father? Is Jesus schizophrenic? They are all one Spirit and one God who consist in being as three different persons.
God is light. Jesus is light in God, and God is light in Jesus.
We are children of the light. We are light in the Lord.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
1 Thessalonians 5:5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
In a manner of speaking because they all dwell within each other, you are seeing all three persons of the Godhead whether the Son makes an appearance, or the Father makes an appearance or whether the Holy Spirit is sent to indwell a believer. For the fulness of the Godhead dwelled within Christ bodily. This means that the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit all indwelled the physical body of Jesus Christ. The word Godhead is not in reference to divinity. It is in reference to how we would use that word today; For example: the board of directors is currently the corporate head of our company, or joe and jenny are the head of the household, etc.
For there are many references of the Father and the Holy Spirit and the Son of God and the Word, etc. Why the distinctions? Yes, I believe they are all one God. But each of the persons in the Godhead has their distinction within the unity of our Lord, too.
There are no distinctions. Distinctions mean differences. They are the same. If they are different, then there are three different Gods. If they are different, then God did not come in the flesh. Jesus is God in the flesh.
I mean, we are made in God's image. So if God is triune, then it would make sense that we would be triune, too. In fact, the Scriptures say we have a physical body, a spirit body, and a soul.
We are only triune when the Holy Spirit lives in us.
These three all function and breath together as one person and yet there are distinctions of three that make up our being, though. In other words, the physical body, spirit body, and soul are not smashed beyond recognition so that there is no more distinction anymore. When the physical body dies, there is then the spirit body. Do you see where I am coming from?
We are our spirit. Our spirit lives on after the death of our physical body. When our spirit lives on, it looks like we look, only as a spirit. It feels (as in emotions), and thinks and sounds like us, except without a physical body.
I see where you are coming from; however, I think that you should not write off what I am saying. Think about it longer.
