Many Christian religions believe The Word of God is another being besides God. In fact, some religions believe Gods Holy Spirit is also another being. Therefore, they present The Word of God as a being, and The Holy Spirit as a being. They have three Gods. Is this Biblical?

Others believe that The Holy Spirit is not another God, but The Power of God. They think, in the beginning, only Christ was another being with God. Now you have two Gods, which are God, The Father, and The Word of God. Just how many Gods are there? Let The Bible tell you.

I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

I Timothy 2:5 plainly states that there is only one God. Christ, as The Word of God, is just a Mediator between God and humanity. That is what The Bible presents to you.

Since Christ was given The Holy Spirit at birth (the same Holy Spirit made Mary pregnant), The Holy Spirit couldnt be another being because Jesus would then be The Son of The Holy Spirit and not The Son of God, The Father.

Your question shows great wisdom. You are right to ask these questions. The Bible is the true and complete word of God. The original manuscripts were perfect and without error. All that remains from antiquity, however, are copies of those manuscripts. The good news is that great care has been taken to verify that the manuscripts we have are as accurate and trustworthy as possible. Take, for example, the New Testament. There are approximately 25,000 full and partial ancient copies. Some of these copies date to within 30 years of Christ's resurrection - far too short a period of time for errors and myths to creep in. We also have approximately 32,000 letters of the early church fathers that quote from the original manuscripts. We also have some 64,000 early church lectionaries that contain scripture quotes. Here's the important part: Among these more than 100,000 ancient sources there is little or no difference between them. That is, a word here or there is different, the order of a couple of verses might be different, BUT NO MAJOR DIFFERENCES ABOUT DOCTRINE, LAW OR PRACTICE EXIST! This is huge. This means that when we look at the ancient manuscripts we can trust that what they say is so close to the original as to be virtually guaranteed. They are reliable beyond a shadow of a doubt. We can use a similar proof regarding the Old Testament. Both have demonstrated themselves to be reliable beyond a doubt. Given that the oldest manuscripts are usually the most reliable, the best way to really know what they say is to learn to study them in their original languages. For the Old Testament that would be Hebrew. For the New Testament that would be Greek. Most seminaries are good sources of instruction in the ancient languages. You might consider studying that way. If you're like me, however, going to seminary is not an easy thing. The second best alternative is to study the Bible using at least two modern translations that have been done using the oldest, most reliable manuscripts available, and supplement this study with commentaries by Bible scholars. When we compare the verses between 2 or more reliable translations we get a unique perspective on what the original manuscript was trying to say. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is a close word-for-word translation of the original languages into English. It is considered one of the essential translations for serious study. It can be difficult to get the exact meaning of some passages, however, since the content is given priority over context. The New Living Translation (NLT) is what I call a "thought for thought" translation. In this case, the translation team sought to take into account the context and the "thought" behind each verse and put the thought into modern English. This is a very easy to read translation that I like to use for personal study. The New International Version (NIV) and English Standard Version (ESV) are somewhere between the other two in terms of their translation approach. All are reliable. In many cases, their renderings of verses are identical or nearly so. In some cases, they are different. That's why I think it's important to look at 2 or more translations of a particular verse as we try to extract God's intention from it. The KJV had a few mistranslations in it. We have discovered older and more reliable documents since it was created, so I tend to not use it as much. The New King James Version (NKJV) fixes the problems and can also be relied upon. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please e-mail me. I would be happy to help.

Mary and the Holy spirit didn't conceive. The holy spirit came upon her and made her pregnant, supernatural.. Go onto a bile website and do a search for holy spirit. He sent his holy spirit in his place. The Holy spirit allows us to commune with Jesus. They are 3 in one, what is so difficult to understand about that?

The Word of God is the Bible, not some mysterious being..

Wow are you in way over your head. I wouldnt know where to start. Its actually a little painful to try to wrap my noggin around your question.

Perhaps you should actually read the book you are trying to debase before attempting such... weirdness.

Or at least look up "Trinity" in Wikipedia.

God Bless you.
