Neither one. God is Spirit, having no viewable substance as rudiment of this world (flesh and blood). He does not (impossible) sit on a throne made with human hands. His Spirit indwells the believer .In that way we are the temple Just as was the Son of man, Jesus. We walk by faith not seeking after the things seen .
That can be seen clearly at the renting of the veil when the Son of man was given words from the father .It is finished! . No man was siting in the holy place of faith . Satan could never accuse all the nations a person must become a Jew under the false doctrine of Judaism
The word of God became flesh as it worked in the Son of man, Jesus' earthen body of death . The Son of man had no power of his own .
Not power coming from the Son of man .The prophet apostle.
Jesus was sent not do His own will of the flesh .Yet he performed it without sin in order to bring the one time demonstration of the two attributes (Father and Son).as if God was a man
When the one time demonstration ended the Holy Spirit revealed that some did know Christ while abiding in the corrupted flesh of Jesus. But when he disappeared out of sight we know him no more ever again .
God is Spirit .He is not a man .never could be God, who remains without mother or father without geanalolgy being of Spirit life or end of it.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Obey the loving commandment above it works in those who do believe....
Study to learn how to walk by faith the unseen eternal (hearing God not seen) .And then you will be less tempted to seek after the flesh the temporal things seen .Seeking after the things of men seen is designed for the evil generation who do seek after signs. (no faith) as hat seen the temporal.
I was not putting God the Father first if that is what you meant. The three Divine Persons in the ONE God are co-equal. The holy Word of God tells us that there IS a Trinity. But it is a mystery. Meaning that it is an infinite Truth that lies far above the ability of our feeble, finite, minds to completely understand.
It is not either/or. The Trinitarian Persons of God the Father..,God the Son..God the Holy Spirit..is ONE God. Phillip asked Jesus to show him the Father. Jesus replied.. "Phillip. I have been with you so long and still you still do not understand? Whoever sees Me sees the Father."
They are attributes when it comes to God. God is not a man and neither is there any infallible interpreter called a daysman a umpire that sits between God not seen and sinful mankind seen
There are 300+ Names, Titles, as Attributes of the Father, Son. Father and Son are two of the many.
Yes we see the Father as Lord and Master as he works with the Son of man who is powerless .
One God as a person working and in and with another attribute (Emanuel ) making the burden lighter working togethter to both will and do the good pleasure of one Master as Lord. No man can serve two Masters as Lord. . (1) the dead flesh and (2) the Living unseen Spirit .
Jesus did not come to do his own will of the flesh. It has no power, beginning corrupted.
Yes, it is.
It is scripture from Deut.
Shema Yisrael, Adonai (YHWH) Eloheinu, Adonai echad.
shalom aleichem
Wrong. Just. Wrong.
Why do you find it necessary to repeat this? Job was not talking about Jesus.
God does indeed have many names, titles, and attributes. However, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are persons, not attributes.
Your lack of understanding of basic English is seriously hampering both your understanding and your explanation of Scripture.
Jesus' flesh was not corrupted. Limited, yes, but not corrupted.
God The Son is not "powerless." That is a private interpretation that disagrees with the Church's interpretation..the 17 centuries old, Nicene Creed. - "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, GOD from God, light from light, TRUE GOD from true God, begotten not made, ONE in Being with the Father..We believe. in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified.." The Bible condemns private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20) and says that.."The CHURCH is the pillar and foundation of truth." (1 Tim.3:15)
There is only ONE God. The OVERALL WILL of God, is referred to as the Father, His own WORDS as the Son (in subjection to the speaker) and The Spirit is the character OF God which is Holiness. Some of the confusion is seeing Jesus as a separate entity, where in fact he is now the WORDS of God in a flesh form. You and I are also a "trinity". We possess a WILL that governs our SPEECH, and a redeemed SPIRIT that is growing in righteousness.
GOD can do all things that He wills to do. The Bible says that God "put on flesh" to become man and dwell among us, to die on the cross and pay the high price that we could not pay.. the price of our redemption from sin. His Church long ago declared Jesus to be true God of true God, true man of true man.
Yes. There is but ONE God in three Divine PERSONS..not three gods..not three titles..but God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. If the Father and the Son were only different roles of the one God, it would make no sense for Jesus to refer to Himself and to the Father as.."we." You would never think of referring to yourself in your various roles like..father and son..as "we." There is no clearer evidence of the reality of the Triune nature of God than this simple pronoun that proceeded out of the mouth of God the Son, Jesus Christ.
God Can in context to HIS divine Nature HE has provided enough for us for righteous living and appropriate worship.
We know from the word of God HE is Holy and cannot lie as a man does. That Statement is about HIS Character, not ability. Context. When we speak we must remember we are limited as the Brother Kemorean said and be reverent in our speaking of the Nature of God.
