God annnddd a holy spirit?

Question

isn't beleiving in god, the holy spirt and his son (jesus) the fudamentals for Christianity? the trinity?
If Jesus is god's son, why do say they Jesus is the human form of god? And god is god, so how can he have a family? A son? a Mother? The purpose of family in the life is support. God having family, wouldn't that be association with god? Isn't god above everything else? How does the immaculate conception of Mary lead to Jesus being called his son? And why is the holy spirit seperate to that of God? How can it exist alongside God? God is God. I mean so what's with the holy spirit?

Answer 1

Wow. This question would take quite awhile to answer correctly.

For now I will just say that there is One God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are thinking of God in terms of humans. God is not limited to human existance or thinking.

God had such Love for his fallen creation (you and me) that he showed his Amazing Grace to all of mankind by sending Jesus, his Son who was without sin, to die for all of mankind so that we may inherit eternal life.

And so we may really begin to live.

Answer 2

        First let me state that, as humans, we aren't going to truly understand what it means to be God or the Godhead. However, based on my 30+ years of study in the Bible, and thinking about the Godhead, here are my current thoughts on the subject.

>> isn't beleiving in god, the holy spirt and his son (jesus) the
>> fudamentals for Christianity? the trinity?

        Yes.

>> If Jesus is god's son, why do say they Jesus is the human
>> form of god?

        Some may believe that literally, but I don't believe the Bible supports that. What I believe the Bible supports is that Jesus was the Son of God even before He became human. Don't forget that God's use of the word "Son" is an expression given for our benefit -- so that we would understand better. More on this in the next paragraph.

>> And god is god, so how can he have a family? A son?
>> a Mother? The purpose of family in the life is support.
>> God having family, wouldn't that be association with god?

        I believe God created the family expressly so that we would have a better grasp concerning the Godhead (Gen. 2:24; Mat. 19:4-6). Thus, as in a human family, it is easy to understand God the Father and God the Son. This would also seem to support God the Holy Spirit in the role of Mother -- not literally, nor by gender, but by function. Examining the role the Bible portrays for a human mother does seem to be in line with the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Think about it.

>> Isn't god above everything else?

        Certainly! ;-)

>> How does the immaculate conception of Mary lead to
>> Jesus being called his son?

        As I stated, I believe the Bible supports Jesus in the role of God's Son even before He became human. However, to answer your question... Three times the Gospels say that Mary was with child conceived of God the Holy Spirit (Mat. 1:18,20; Luke 1:35). Thus, in the literal sense, Jesus had no human father. He was the Son of God.

>> And why is the holy spirit seperate to that of God? How
>> can it exist alongside God? God is God. I mean so what's
>> with the holy spirit?

        Now, I don't see a verse which says "my Spirit" or "the Father's Spirit" which might seem to imply that the Holy Spirit is not a separate being. In one place, Jesus says that God the Father would send "the" Holy Spirit and in another place Jesus says that He, Himself, would send "the" Holy Spirit. But, again, thinking of the human family, the father might say, "I'll send my child over to help you." But, the mother could also say, "I'll send my child over to help you." Both said, "...my child...," but that child is a completely separate person from them.

        In conclusion, I feel the Bible does give plenty of examples which demonstrate the Unity of Three Persons of the Godhead -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (e.g.: Mat. 3:16,17; Mat. 28:18-20; 1John 5:1-10).

God bless.

Answer 3

Is Trinity IN the bible?—three persons in one God? NO, trinity isn't taught by the bible..The bible teach us that:

Jehovah, the Father, is "the only true God." (John 17:3; Mark 12:29)

Jesus is His firstborn Son, and he is subject to God. (1 Corinthians 11:3) The Father is greater than the Son. (John 14:28)

The holy spirit is not a person; it is God's active force.—Genesis 1:2; Acts 2:18.

Answer 4

The simpliest way to explain it in human terms, when a man and woman become married they become like one flesh forever joined and one. That the trinity three in one, an apple has three parts, but all are equally the apple just perform different function. And sometimes the rest is left to faith our human minds can't wrap around the awesomeness of the whole thing. The Holy Spirit was sent when Jesus went back to Heaven to be our comforter until he came back again.

Answer 5

This is why the Bible does not support the trinity. :)

How could Jesus be his own father and his own son at the same time? And the holy spirit is another story...

Answer 6

Jesus is a prophet speaking for God basically and he is holy and chosen so he his essentially human God. The father is God. The son is Jesus before death. The holy spirit is Jesus after death, after resurrection.

Answer 7

First: who is the Holy Spirit? A careful reading of the Gospels clarifies that the Holy Spirit is the Angel Gabriel.

Compare the two narrations of Matthew and Luke:

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:18)

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. (Luke 1:26-27).

This accords with the Qur'an:

*{Then We sent her our angel [literally, spirit], and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. … He [the angel] said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son."}* (Maryam 19:17,19)

So God the Lord, Jesus the human prophet, and the Holy Spirit Gabriel are each separate.

The doctrine of the Trinity was never preached by Jesus, nor by his followers for three centuries.

The word "trinity" is nowhere in the Bible.

The myth of trinity gradually crept into Christianity, influenced by Greek mythology, and was adopted by Council of Nicaea in 325 CE.
