There are so many passages, in addition to the ones cited here, where the Son speaks to the Father or speaks of sending the Comforter, that to ignore them is heresy. If you don't believe Matt. 28:19 or Luke 3:22, what business do you have citing Jude 1:25 and 1 John 5:20? Only in the light of the former can you understand that in Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:29), and that God in the latter verses refers to the fullness of the Trinity. The fallacy of the cults is that they take verses out of context and apart from the preponderance of Scripture, resulting in heresy.<br />You are entitled to your own beliefs. Differences in opinion make for lively comments, but mocking God's Word by denouncing the Trinity as a lie, or insulting the readers of this blog as lacking intelligence will not be tolerated. Any subsequent comments not following these requests will be deleted. <br />Thanks in advance for your understanding.. Praying for you, for God's Word to illuminate your mind and heart with His wisdom.

He is not only known as 'I am what I am', but also 'I will be what I will be'.

It is interesting that a commentator ...Dear Laurie,<br />It is interesting that a commentator had mentioned the Jehovah's Witnesses already.<br />You wrote that without God raising Jesus Christ bodily from the dead, his death would have no significance in saving us, which of course, is true. Both apostles Peter and Paul emphasised the physical resurrection of Christ and belief in this in the heart for the salvation of the sinner to take effect, e.g. Romans 10:9-10, 13.<br />Jehovah's Witnesses deny the Trinity, insisting that God is the Father of the Son, the latter created by the Father to be part of the Father/Son God team. Also according to the Watchtower Society, the created Jesus did not die on a cross, but instead was impaled on an upright wooden post or stake without the crossbar. They also argue that at the "resurrection" God could not have raised his Son from the dead physically, or else this would have undone the ransom Jesus paid in his death. Instead he was "raised" as a spirit - a mighty, kingly spirit, but still only a spirit, by God's impersonal "Active Force" or holy spirit (small initials). As with all other cults, salvation has to be earned and there is no eternal security for the believer.<br />This goes to show the devastating effect of the Watchtower's version of Christology and sotorology, yet insist that they only are the true Christians who obey the Bible, and dismiss all churches as part of "Satan's organisation."<br />Another great post emphasising the role of the Trinity within the Godhead and his role in Salvation.

Three in One, Three Persons, I know it's true, it's just hard to make sense of it in human terms. <br /><br />Faith is such a gift isn't it? It lets me accept things I can't humanly understand because it's all just so high above me. Thank you for this thorough discussion of a difficult concept!<br /><br />Happy Sunday :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-30006877455893805792013-11-09T11:52:26.918-08:002013-11-09T11:52:26.918-08:00It's the main point of discussion with for exa...It's the main point of discussion with for example Jehovah Witnesses - they claim, that Jesus can't be God, because He prayed to Father.
