A friend of mine believes in Holy Trinity but in a different way.
He believes that God The Father and Jesus are less powerful than the Third Person of Holy Trinity or Holy Spirit. He even sometimes
speak ill of them. But he made an idol of a half-human half-dove
after replacing it with an idol of Jesus in the cross and an idol of God The Father with white beard and a triangular hat. He worships the idol of Holy Spirit now. Is it ok?



Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

Matt 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Only God knows, but the theology is not Biblical.

Your friend sounds like the victim of a deceitful spirit. About the Holy Spirit and his work here on earth Jesus said:

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus through the life of true believers. Someone who has made what amounts to a spirit idol and who does not revere Jesus is not under the influence of God's Holy Spirit.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Well, if Christians are right and the Holy Spirit is one with the Father and the Son, then where is the problem?
How can he worship the one without the other I wonder whoever?
But it seems that the Father and the Son worship the Holy Spirit, if sinning against HER (Book of Enoch: 'Wisdom; SHE is the Holy Spirit of God')is the only unforgivable sin, right?
Well it is natural, because the Male will always protect the female; even in spirit!

The Trinity is God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit. He is one in the same. and it says in the bible that we are not to worship idols. 2 Kings 17:12 (New International Version) They worshiped idols, though the LORD had said, "You shall not do this". This si one example I can find u others if u want. But I dont beleive he should be Worshipping Idols.

I believe the Holy Trinity is more balanced.

We are more then just spirit, so how can we appeal to just the Holy Spirit with prayers.

We also have a mind and a body. Action. We are here for action. That does not exist in just spirit.

But he may be where he needs to be for now, you're friend.

I would say, Let him progress at his own rate.

Thats for G-d to judge.

If you know the Holy Spirit, pray on how to advise your friend. The Spirit will reveal it to you in a loving and Holy way. It may be to do nothing, or correct your brother. If you don't, pray for a measure of the Holy Spirit.

I agree with him one one count....we dont give the spirit enough credit. the father and son are in heaven. Holy spirit is the one on earth. Jesus even said this was the case after he left. We need to acknowledge and pray to the spirit more if its concerning things on this earth.

Blessings
David

worshiping idols is never ok.

1Jo 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.


Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Mainline Christianity believes that the three persons in the Holy Trinity are equivalent in capacity and deserving of worship. Your pal is going over arguments that the early Christians prayed over in the 1st and 2d centuries. i'm not clever sufficient to decide your individuals strikes. Blasphemy against the Spirit ... - subsequently, I say to you, each sin and blasphemy would be forgiven human beings, yet blasphemy against the Spirit 22 is in basic terms not forgiven (Matthew 12:31) ... is the sin of attributing to devil ... - yet whilst the Pharisees heard this, they pronounced, "This guy drives out demons in basic terms via the capacity of Beelzebul, the prince of demons." (Matthew 12:24) ... what's the artwork of the Spirit of God. - yet whilst it extremely is via the Spirit of God that I tension out demons, then the dominion of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:28) With love in Christ.

Your friend is confused and should not be using the bible to back up his belief in "someone" who does not exist. The holy spirit is an active force, Gods active force! Its not a seperate being. The trinity is some pagan garbage that was never mentioned in the bible and that stems from pagan idolitry.

Sounds to me as if he has made up his own religion. THe bible says that God's word should not be added to or taken from.


Deuteronomy 4:2
2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.



You can't just pick and choose which parts you want to believe in. You take it as is or you leave it. God hates luke warm. He says he will spit you out.

Revelations 3:16
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Honestly, noone living can tell is the answer about your friend's salvation. The question is this: How well does a person have to understand the Trinity to have salvation? Technically, complete and totla comprehension of the Trinity is impossible, but you must understand it to some extent to believe that Christ is the Son of God.
