St. Paul preached the NT-----this is not part of the Bible (the Holy Scriptures). I will stick to those writings in the Holy Scriptures, thank you.

Hi, if you look into the old Testament there is a very strong theme and that is the prophesy of the Messiah,far too many for me to state here, the plan of God was too reveal the Christ slowly over the generations to the peoples,the Son had a mission to complete in the appointed time and the Holy Spirit was too continue this mission after Christ had fufilled it by enabling and empowering the believers.
therefore God chose this way and for His own reason did not reveal the Son in any other way but that which He chose to.
the Holy Spirit was revealed at the beginning of creation, And the Spirit of God moved over the waters`etc
Jesus was God`s remedy for fallen humanity and untill He came into the world it suited God`s plan to leave things His mission shrouded in glorious mystery.
once the Messiah came and St.Paul among many others by the power of the Holy Spirit came to know this revelation of the prophets as acomplished he like they saw the hand of the trinitarian Godhead,that the Jews had never seen before.

The notion of a trinity is as old as religion itself. There is historical evidence that the Jewish faith originally had a male and a female Deity, later they eliminated the female in favor of the one male God theory? In most of the oldest religions the trinity was female and represented the three phases of woman and motherhood. Later it was modified to include a male Deity and represented the mother, father and child or the sun the earth and moon or the stars. The Arab Christians recognized the trinity as God, Mary and Jesus, or the Father, Mother and Son. The early Roman Catholic Church tried to eliminate the need for a female presence altogether with the concept of the father, the son, and the holy ghost, but this concept was a hard sell among the congregation, evidenced by the popularity and prominence of Mary the Holy Mother of God in the Catholic religion. Under Pope Leo the great and for centuries thereafter expressing disbelief in the Christian tenets were punishable by death, and you would have been burned at the stake as a heretic for daring to pose this question.

In Genesis 1:1 "...and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Judges 3:10 "The Spirit of the Lord came upon him..." The evidence of the Spirit of the Lord was also spoken of Gideon, Jephthah, Sampson and others. The Holy Spirit was at the beginning of Creation and is also here with us today.

One thing is common with life and the living, believe what ever you want to believe, if in your life there is not prove yet that there is God, why crack your heading thinking about God, but if you have found it’s real, what you need do is listen calmly to your heart and it’s going to tell you how to follow and follow right. Abraham listened to his heart and discovered his God, so did so many other people…the story of Abraham made it clear that different people with different god, his God was not same with that of his father and brethren. So is yours and not trying to discover yours is going to leave you in the dark till you do. Joining a religion would help you know there is God and discovering yours will give you a fulfilled life on earth.

God [is] a Spirit (not a Ghost).
God is merciful, not merciless.
God is grace us, not awful lawful.

Paul The Apostle is:
- "his witness unto all men", including you: Acts
- an apostle of JC (not of CJ: mirrorly the reverse)
- an apostle by the will of God (not the will of man)
- writes more NT than 6 other NT writers combined
- also the sign-ified author of Hebrews & Revelation

God is one. God is manifested in three entities, always was, and ever shall be. There has been no contradiction ever in the witness of the prophets.
Jesus Christ did say "I am God and worship me"
I do ask the Holy Spirit to open your mind to see the truth.

What you are doing here is molding God into your image of what you believe he is and what you should be doing is molding yourself into the image of God and his word and what he truely is.
God is able to separate himself into three distint beings. He does this for his own perfect reasons even if we do no fully understand how or why.
The fact is that God could separate himself into millions of beings if he so wishes, and he does. Each time one of his creation accepts him and his will and his way, he comes to reside inside of our hearts. There is enough of God to enter into each and every one of us.
Please read the writings on John the Baptist again. He recognized Jesus Christ as the Messiah and witnessed God stating from heaven that "this is my son, in whom I am well pleased.

Dear God! Where on earth did you get this stuff?? The "Yahweh Ben Yahweh" website?? "Three Gods"??
Amongst the other bizarre things you state, you say:
>> Jesus never said "I am God and worship me"??? <<
Jesus did, however, say "I AM (God)" (John 8:58) - and when St. Thomas said "My Lord and my God" and fell and worshiped (yes, worshiped! Look it up!) Jesus after seeing the nail-holes in His hands and feet...and the sword-hole in Jesus' side - you will notice that Jesus didn't stop him and say: "No, Thomas...stop!! You are wrong!"
So, in fact...Jesus DID say "I am God and worship me".
You, my friend, need to stop listening to cultists and, for your own edification and spiritual growth, PLEASE go and take a few basic introductory university-level or seminary classes in Christian Dogmatic Theology 101.
Your statements (above) are so "out there", I cannot even get a radar-fix on you.
