From your own experience and ideas, who are God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost?

Question

Hi, I'm a Spirit filled Christian and I strongly believe in those listed above. In fact I know that they are real. Some of you out there most likely disagree, or don't even know who I'm talking about. So I'm tossing out a line to fish for information. I want to know how many do not understand who these are. I want to know how strong some of you are in faith. Thanks....inspire me! Preach it!

Answer 1

Hi! I too am a Spirit-filled Christian - nice to meet ya! I strongly believe in all three and know them to not only be real, but very personal and interactive with a heart that desires to know. The Father is absolute Love, the Son is absolute forgiveness and the Holy Spirit is absolute joy! Life doesn't get better than that, does it! One thing about God - He's "addictive" - you just can't get enough of Him. I can sympathize with Moses when he kept asking to see God's glory! He had experienced it time and time again but it's like he just couldn't get enough! Thank the Lord there is no end to the depths of God so we will never have to worry about "running out" so to speak! God Bless!

Answer 2

God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).

Answer 3

I have no personal ideas concerning the identity of God. The Bible provides the answer. Ps. 83:18 says Jehovah is the Most High. Jesus called his Father the only true God. (John 17:3) Jesus referred to himself as the Son of God. The holy spirit is God's active force. (Gen 1:2) It is not a person.

Contrary to popular belief, the Bible does not teach a trinity. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in substance, power and eternity AND that they make up one God.

To those who go by the Bible, the identity of God is no mystery. For that reason, Jesus told the woman at the well: "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know." (John 4:22)

Answer 4

God is my heavenly Father in whom all blessings flow.
Jesus is the Christ(anointed one) the only begotten son of God,my Lord and saviour,Lord of heaven and earth because of his obedeince to our Father.
The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God,the heart of God,the Spirit of truth given to the believer to lead and guide into the truth.
Might I add one more and that would be me,I am a child of God with the same power and athourity over Satan as Jesus Christ the son of the living God because of me believing in Jesus.
It's not enough to know who the God head is,we must know who we are as well. Peace

Answer 5

I was raised in the belief of the Trinity, though after intense studying of scriptures for few years, I am convinced that there is only one. No, not modalism, but an awesome revelation of God in Christ. God who is the Father of all, was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. I believe Christ is the office in which God has manifested himself in...Just as God would manifest himself in the angel of the Lord through out the Old Testament. All scriptures together points to one God using vessels to show himself...Christ is his vessel, for it was God in him that has saved us...If you'd like scripture refences let me know, but there are several that agree with One God, who is a spirit, who was in Christ.

Answer 6

All three God - the Trinity.
