If God is one and three at a time?

Question

If God is one and three at a time, then who was the God in heaven when Jesus was on earth? Wouldn’t this contradict his many references to a God in Heaven that sent him?

Answer 1

Just One God, for all of people, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslims or others....

Answer 2

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one...

1 John 5:8
And there are three that bear witness in earth the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

If you really want to know and study this you will see they are all One God...

Answer 3

God is not just one being. When Christ was being baptized, the Father spoke from the heavens saying " This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased", as the Father was saying this the Holy Ghost descended upon Christ in the form of a dove. Now unless He was a great ventriloquist and could split into three beings becoming schizophrenic, and disregarding His own laws of physics, They must be three distinct beings. The statement that The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are one, means they are all perfect,and are of one mind, not one body. In other words they are all on the same page and work together to bring to pass Gods will and desire. Again they are three separate personages with the same goals and desires.

Answer 4

I don't believe Jesus, a Jew, ever claimed to be God. Only Christians believe Jesus is God and in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All other religions that believe in God believe in the Unity of God.

Answer 5

The one and onlt true God Jesus Father!God is onenot three in one.Jesus is not God. He is the Son of God, but ,many presume that God the Father and the Holy Spirit form what is commonly believed as the Trinity.
This belief , that there is One God who manifests Himself in three distinct butequal persons, is widely accepted in the Christian world. But is that what the Bible teaches? Or is it a Man-made attempt to explain God? You might be surprised what the Bible actually says!
The Bible does not teach the doctrine of the trinity.
The term "trinity" is first used in a religious sense at the close of the 2nd century:
it does not appear in the Old or the New Testament manuscripts.
The doctrine is elaborate,contradictory and denies the most important truths of the Bible.
At this point you might ask:"If the trinity is not a Biblical teaching,how did it get to be a doctrine of Christianity?Many think that it was formulated at the Council of Nicea in 325 CE.
This is not totally correct,however, The Council of Nicea did assert that Christ was the same substance as God which laid the Groundwork for later Trinitarian theology.But it did not establish the Trinity, as at that council there was no mention of the Holy spirit as the third person of the triune Godhead.
For many years there had been much opposition on Biblical grounds to developing the idea that Jesus was God. To try to disolve the dispute, Roman Emperor Constantine summoned all Bishops to Nicea. About 300 a fraction of the total, actually attended,

Constantine was not a Christian,supposedly he converted later in life, but he was not baptized until he lay dying. Regarding him, Henry Chadwick says in the Early Church"Constantine like his father, he worshipped the Unconquered sun;....his conversion should nt be interprited as an inward experience of grace... it was a military matterHis comprehension of Christian doctrine, was never very clear, but he was sure that the victory of battle lay in the gift of the God of the Christians."
What role did this unbaptized Emperor play at the Council of Nicea? The Encyclopedia relates: Constantine himself presided, actively guided andpersonally proposed....the crucial formuls expressing the relation of Christ to God in the creed issued by the Council, 'of one substance with the Father'....Overawed by the Emperor, the Bishops with two exceptions only signed the creed,many of them much against their inclination,'
Hence, Constantine's role was crucial. After two months of furious religious debate,this pagan politician intervened, and decided in favour of those who said that Jesus was God. But why? Certainly not because of any Biblical conviction. Constantine had basically no knowledge of the questions being asked in Greek Theology." says a Brief History of Christian Doctrine.But what he did understand is that religious division was a threat for for his empire.

Answer 6

God is always God. Jesus is always Jesus. Together, with the Holy Spirit, they make up the Trinity. The Trinity is sometimes described as God in three forms, but it's all part of the same whole. There is no contradiction there.

Answer 7

The trinity referred to in Christianity is three aspects of that can be used to understand the same deity. God – the father is representative of the creative nurturing force. The son – the human aspects of the deity or deity incarnate (Jesus) as most Christian believe. The Holy Spirit – the all omnipresent life-force. While Christianity is considered monotheistic I feel that is more closely bi-theistic or in this case “tri-theistic”. In some pagan bi-theistic religions to aspects of the same god are used to better understand the god and/or are worshiped. For example the Lord and the Lady in some pagan & neo-pagan religions are used to represent different aspects of the same deity. Therefore it is all subjective

Answer 8

Dear
God is not three but it is ONE.
if you read the old testominals it is clearly written that Jesus was the creature of the God. As God created Adam from nothing, why could He not create Jesus from only mother. So the birth of Jesus without God does not mean that He is part of God. Jebrail, a messenger of God, is also His creation not the part of God.
Just think that Hindus believe in many gods, Chiristians believe in three, and few other believe in more than one gods. But God is one and no one can share His kingdom.

Answer 9

I am many different people yet I am one persona, how is this so?
To my wife I am a Husband
To my children I am a Father,
To Parents I am a son
To Boss I am a worker
And to my subordinates I am a supervisor.

In each of roles listed above I am a different person and have different functions that I perform. This is how it is with God. God the father is beyond our comprehension and yet the father desires a close and personal relationship with his children. That is why he sent Jesus so that we could identify with God and have a relationship on a personal level. And the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus is the Touch of Gods in our present lifes. Different roles of God, same God. God had to do it this way because of our weakness and fraility.

Answer 10

No.
It says "God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"
That means that God is a Father in Heaven
He sent Jesus (His Son) on earth like a kind of replica of Him, so that He could preach the good news on earth
And the Holy Spirit is what He fills us with when we are converted
No, there are no contradictories. It is just like God in three different person...Believe in Him, for He is the one and only God Almighty. ;D

Answer 11

The Messiah, while on the cross, said to the other prisoner who was being killed next to Him, "I tell you the truth, today we will be in paradise."

Yet, the bible says that the Messiah descended into hell for three days.

How is it possible for the Messiah to be in hell and in paradise at the same time?

Simple: Our time is not His time.

If the Messiah, by His own words, can be in heaven and in hell at the same time, then He can be the Father and the Son at the same time.

God sees everything at the same time, the past, the present and the future, because He lives in a "time" that we will only understand once we go to be with Him.

What makes God's Love so beautiful is this: Even though He knew what we would do to Him and against Him, and He could have chosen not to create "our time" and "our lives" to avoid going through what He did on the cross, He did it anyways, just to have us.
