The Trinity

Thank you for your long thoughtful post. Though I accept the scriptures I cannot accept your interpretations.

There was no Spirit of Christ.

Too bad. I suggest that you pray to the Father for His Holy Spirit and for understanding. I wish you well.

Yes, there is the word of God that says so.


Acts 16:7 says, “When they had come down to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.


Just as the Spirit of Christ is the reality of Christ, so the Spirit of Jesus is the reality of Jesus. If we do not have the Spirit of Jesus, Jesus will not be real to us. But today Jesus is real to us because we have the Spirit of Jesus as the reality, the realization, of Jesus. In Philippians 1:19 Paul says, “I know that for me this shall turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.” The Spirit of Jesus Christ is the Spirit mentioned in John 7:39. This is not merely the Spirit of God before the Lord’s incarnation but the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit with divinity, after the Lord’s resurrection, compounded with the Lord’s incarnation (humanity), human living under the cross, crucifixion, and resurrection.

John 20:28 NLT - "My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed.

God sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.

That's a typical Jehovah's Witnesses answer. If Jesus is not the Lord and God of Thomas why did Jesus not correct Thomas? So I ask you, is Jesus Christ the Lord God Almighty?

IN GOD THE SON,

Hopefully, you enjoy your stay, because if you insist on spending your time here refuting the Lord's divinity, while claiming to confirm it, well... there have been many before you, and there will be many after you.

The words divinity and deity are fickle. For example, the Holy Spirit is God. But this does not mean that you are deity or divinity even if the Holy Spirit dwells in you by faith.

I have only provided another translation.

I am not a Jehovah's Witness.

I know that Jesus was a man and the Unique One and Only Son of God.

I do not know if He was Lord God Almighty. I believe that Jesus worshipped God who was His Father.

I am not the fullness of deity in bodily form.

I know your not a JW but that is what they teach. Again, Thomas declared to Jesu Himself that He Jesus is his Lord and God. Jesus did not say "No I am not and Thomas believed Him, why can't you believe the Holy Spirit inspired words?

In Him,

The Bible says when we are indwelt, we become partakers of the divine nature. So while we are not deity, the Holy Spirit is.

So who is God?

note that Thomas says this to "Him" singular, not plural 'them'

The verse is definitive calling Jesus God, and Jesus answers Thomas "you have believed" absolutely accepting the statement as true.

there is no legitimate argument you can make to deny it; it is what the scripture says. you can choose to believe the scripture or you can choose not to believe the scripture.

God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the world or the universe, and the Father of our Lord Jesus the Christ (the Messiah; the Anointed (One)).

True, except I didn't find the word indwelt in the Bible.
