How are God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost One Person?

Question

This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased...
Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name...
I came to do the will of the Father
Be ye one even as my Father and I are one...
Father forgive them for they know not what they do....
"For I will send unto you a comforter, who is the Holy Ghost"...

So how is it out of those statements, people have allowed their well paid pastors to convince them that Jesus, His father Elohim, and the Holy Ghost, are all the one same person?

Clearly, they are three separate beings.

Answer 1

If Jehovah is “the only true God,” what kind of “God” is Jesus?

Jesus himself referred to his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3) Jehovah himself said: “Besides me there is no God.” (Isa. 44:6) The apostle Paul wrote that, to true Christians, “there is, one God the Father.” (1 Cor. 8:5, 6) So Jehovah is unique; no one else shares his position. Jehovah stands in utter contrast to all such objects of worship as idols, deified humans, and Satan. All these are false gods.

Jesus is spoken of in the Scriptures as “a god,” even as “Mighty God.” But nowhere is he spoken of as being Almighty, as Jehovah is. Jesus is said to be “the reflection of [God’s] glory,” but the Father is the Source of that glory. (Heb. 1:3) Jesus in no way seeks the position of his Father. He said: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Luke 4:8) He exists “in God’s form,” and the Father has commanded that “in the name of Jesus every knee should bend,” but this is all done “to the glory of God the Father.”

Did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” And he said: “The Father is greater than I am.” Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Further, on one occasion Jesus prayed to God, saying: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If Jesus were the Almighty God, he would not have prayed to himself, would he? In fact, following Jesus’ death, the Scripture says: “This Jesus God resurrected.” (Acts 2:32) Thus the Almighty God and Jesus are clearly two separate persons. Even after his death and resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus was still not equal to his Father.

Ask God for coaching. Do greater analyze on the Trinity on the internret. there is multitude of elements available. Jesus grow to be God the Son, no longer God the daddy, who incarnated (became flesh). the 1st step somebody will flow incorrect in objecting to the Trinity is to anticipate that Jesus is God the daddy. remember this, and repeat: 3 persons, one God. no longer 3 gods (polytheism), no longer God and a god (Arianism), and not one God, 3 modes, manifestations, personalities, applications, or varieties (Sabellianism/ Modalism)! So, to respond to your question: no, Jesus and God are no longer the comparable man or woman. they're the two God. The Trinity includes 3 persons: God the daddy, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. think of of this for a minute: Jesus is stated as God's in basic terms-begotten son (Gr. ho monogenes huios). which capacity God the daddy begat Jesus. Now, while a father begets (fathers) a son, the son is made interior the image and in accordance to the likeness of his father (Gen. 5:3). because of the fact of this Jesus is stated as the "photograph of the invisible God" (Heb. one million:3; Col. one million:15). while a human father begets a son, the son is as a result human. They share the comparable nature or "substance." the two are human! while God the daddy beget His in basic terms-begotten Son (the be conscious, the Messiah), the Son shared the comparable nature or "substance" because of the fact the daddy. If the daddy is God, what did that make the Messiah? God! while jesus prayed to God in heaven, he prayed to the daddy, yet Jesus grow to be the Son. remember, 3 persons who're each and each God in nature. "God" isn't a popularity. that's a element (person-friendly noun). this is yet in a diverse way Christians get at a loss for words. they say thinks like, "The Trinity is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Does that recommend the Holy Spirit and Jesus are not God? you spot the blunders.

Answer 3

Yes, there are three. Before Jesus ascended to Heaven He said something about sending a comforter i/e the Holy Spirit. Look at as you look at a team. They are individual players but they compose one team. A basketball team has 5 individual basketball players on the floor at one time. There are 5 players but they compose one team. You could say it's 5 in 1. = 5 players, 1 team. God is sort of like that. Three God heads (beings) composing one God. 1.God the Father, 2.God the Son (Jesus) 3.God the Holy Spirit 3=1. There is one God but three beings, or parts, to that one God. The three are all in accord with one another. There is a line in a hymn that goes "God in three persons, blessed trinity.

Answer 4

The hypostatic union is the term used to describe how God the Son, Jesus Christ, took on a human nature, yet remained fully God at the same time. Jesus always had been God (John 8:58; 10:30), but at the incarnation Jesus took on human flesh - He became a human being (John 1:14). The addition of the human nature to the divine nature is Jesus, the God-man. This is the hypostatic union, Jesus Christ, one Person, fully God and fully man.

Jesus' two natures, human and divine, are inseparable. Jesus will forever be the God-man, fully God and fully human, two distinct natures in one Person. Jesus' humanity and divinity are not mixed, but are united without loss of separate identity. Jesus sometimes operated with the limitations of humanity (John 4:6; 19:28) and other times in the power of His deity (John 11:43; Matthew 14:18-21). In both, Jesus' actions were from His one Person. Jesus had two natures, but only one person or personality.

The doctrine of the hypostatic union is an attempt to explain how Jesus could be both God and man at the same time. It is ultimately, though, a doctrine that we are incapable of fully understanding. It is impossible for us to fully understand how God works. We, as finite human beings, should not expect to be able to comprehend an infinite God. Jesus is God’s Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). But that does not mean Jesus did not exist before He was conceived. Jesus always has existed (John 8:58; 10:30). When Jesus was conceived, He became a human being in addition to being God (John 1:1,14).

Jesus is both God and man. Jesus has always been God, but He did not become a human being until He was conceived in Mary. Jesus became a human being so that He could identify with us in our struggles (Hebrews 2:17) and, more importantly, so that He could die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Philippians 2:5-11). In summary, the hypostatic union teaches that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine, that there is no mixture or dilution of either nature, and that He is one united Person, forever.

Answer 5

Clearly, you are trying to shrink God down to man-size.
Clearly, that is because you don't understand that God is not limited to the same limitations as we are.
God is not human in any sense of the word. God is the Entity that created the universe by a simple act of will. Think of it...huge balls of fiery energy, sent hurtling through the vastness of space, at a single word.
And you would dare to say "God can't"??
God can! God can be everywhere at once! God can create a human body in the womb of a virgin, and send His Own spirit to inhabit it, and still be "God the Father" in Heaven! God can willingly lay His life down, putting that body on the altar of our salvation...and take His life up again, as He chooses! God can say "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you", knowing full well that He will be in Heaven! God can say "I have been with you all this time, and yet you ask me to show you the Father? If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father!"
God can do all of these things...
Because
He
is
God!!

Clearly, God's power is far beyond our feeble understanding!!

Answer 6

They are not. It is a concept no one truly understands or can explain. I've been told that they exist separately and as one at the same time. I agree, nonsense. By the way, the Trinitarian view of God violates the first commandment.

Answer 7

NO each one of them is god. All of them are God but three distinct parts. Jeus was God in the flesh, The holu Spirit, the one in the spirit and God the one that sits in heaven. Jesus declared thathe and his father are one Matt 11: 27 and read between the lines.

Answer 8

If you look at scripture you will find that these three names have the same attributes. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ and God the father was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. In Christ was the fullness of God and, also being human, he showed human limitations.

Answer 10

you are correct, they are 3 separate beings,
to further confirm what you listed, Jesus also wouldn't have prayed to himself beforehand for strength & wouldnt have been able to resurrect himself while he was dead. The word trinity is never mentioned in the bible.
Hope this helps confirm what you've found.
