I believe that there is an explanation for that; while I do not currently recall what that explanation is because it is an extensive one and I did not catch all of it when I read about it. However, it is an adequate explanation; and it explains the differences in those scriptures adequately so that my perception is that there is no contradiction in those scriptures.
I believe that the explanation was given recently on these boards, as well.
It satisfied me even though I might not be able to repeat it to you since it was an extensive explanation and might take extensive writing in order to set it forth.
So, suffice it to say that your argument does not fly with me; while it is also alright with me if this argument does not fly with you.
Since I am unable to repeat the explanation I do not expect to convince you of what you might be convinced of if that explanation were given by me.
But know that I stand strong in my understanding that the kjv is inspired and inerrant since I know that there is an explanation that has satisfied me intellectually so that I do not see your argument as being valid.
Uh huh... you're brainwashed, as the other poster is. You are intellectually dishonest and that you hold to a cognitive dissonance, and are unable to see either.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. These three are one. Not the same person, but same accord, meaning all Agree!!!
all you had to do is read the next verse
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Father: (The Most High God) Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
The Word (Christ)
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Christ)
Holy Ghost:
Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
( Heres the point) vs53 Who have received The Law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
Holy Ghost is the The Law!
Here’ the order: 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God
God
Christ
Man
woman
(then the children). You can’t kill The Most High! so sad when Christian’s start believing that!
If I recall correctly, that account of Jesus' baptism was so important that it was included in all the Gospels. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also:
Joh_20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
It would seem that Jesus Christ the Son ascended bodily to the Father.
Anything that basically begins with "I will now explain the Godhead" is gonna get a whole bunch of skepticism from me. No system can explain itself. To be able to explain God would be to be superior to God and that's just not possible.
I would only suggest to you that you study out the OP with the scriptures that were given in the OP.
Be skeptical if you wish; but do your homework.
I think that you will be better off for it.
On another site someone said. ''Anyone who claims to perfectly understand the trinity shows how little they know of the subject''
The doctrine of the Trinity is actually very simple (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) and reasonable (Isaiah 1:18).
I would say that if anyone says that the doctrine of the Trinity is incomprehensible, it shows that they have no concept of its reality.
I have watched debates concerning trinity on the internet, and I have never seen anyone from either side of the debate answer every scripture put to them on the subject. That includes ministers and those who have been christians for decades
I have answered most if not all of the scriptures that have been posted to me on the subject.
If you have a question as concerning my doctrine, by all means ask!
Suit yourself.
I would suggest to you that the Lord has given me good insight on the subject, however.
So, as concerning my teaching, I would suggest that you,
2Ti 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
There is rank in the Godhead. The Father sent the Son, Both sent the Holy Spirit --- If I remember right.
