Creation of Man patterned after God - the GodHead

You've explained it well here but still..................I have to pray about it. It's a hard thing to understand

Yes, it can be difficult!

God is a uniplural word
Man is a uniplural word

The whole creation of Man with its billions, upon billions of lives, is still one.

The same as looking at God with Three in the Godhead is still One

A uniplural noun is a word that appears in the plural form but is used for singular and plural subjects alike.

May the Holy Spirit guide your understanding’

What causes issue is the whole Roman Catholic church/government introduction to the Trinity, to the populace, as a way to appease harmony between Christians and Romans who were polytheist.

Also, the fact that the Trinity is never explicitly mentioned in the bible. The verses that are provided as 'evidence', to me, are not evidence.

So, if both of these points are true (I can't verify any sources re: Roman intro to Trinity etc off the top of my head - it's just something I've come across), then it explains why it's hard for me to comprehend despite many attempts at others explaining!

Thanks for prayer! It is appreciated and needed!

It is so difficult to understand because it isn’t true. Jesus had a GOD and this GOD was his FATHER. John 17:3 John 2:17 Revelation 3:12 While on Earth and also in heaven Jesus has a GOD. If you believe in the trinity then the FATHER of Jesus was the Holy Spirit not the one called the FATHER. Matthew 1:18-20 The trinity doctrine states that under no circumstances can the three gods be separated yet if one became a human how would that effect their unity. Being distinct makes people or anything else separate from each other. The trinity defies logic and reason. The trinity was developed by the primitive Catholic Church long after Jesus and the Apostles. It is an excellent deception, a definite work of the Devil. Search the scriptures to find direct proof of the trinity, it isn’t there, what “proves” it is scripture by deceived believers giving their own interpretations to define it by quoting scriptures they don’t understand or not confirming the proper meaning of Greek or Hebrew words and the deliberate alterations of scriptures by the Catholic Church. The Apostles knew Jesus was not GOD but the son of GOD and the GOD AND FATHER OF JESUS WAS GOD. Ephesians 1:3 1 Peter 1:3 2 Corinthians 1:3 1 Corinthians 8:6 Any scripture that trinitarians use to prove the trinity is in some way misapplied or misinterpreted or misunderstood. There is only one GOD who is the FATHER of Jesus Christ our messiah . Mark 12:32 Romans 3:30 James 2:19 Jesus is the mediator between GOD and man, the MAN Jesus Christ . 1 Timothy 2:5 but if Jesus was GOD then GOD would be the mediator between GOD and man. The idea of the Trinity creates confusion and scrambles the mind baffles one with bull dung. People who want to believe the trinity will and no one but GOD alone can change that.

Jesus said , “there is one who condemns you even Moses in who you trust” Moses brought the Ten Commandments to give to Israel. These Ten Commandments were written and engraved on stone and are the ministry of death. They kill everyone under them, there is no life in the Ten Commandments. These law keepers here are dead, the law Moses brought down from the mountain has condemned them to death. Jesus said, “search the scriptures for in them you think you have everlasting life but these are those which testify of me.” The Ten Commandments do not offer everlasting life but rather everlasting death. There is a new and living way through Jesus Christ that law keepers don’t know. Ten Commandment keepers are yet in the old covenant, deny the work of Christ, are condemned by Moses and have no life in them. Do a Bible study with key words like, mercy, righteousness, faith, justification and life with respect to the Ten Commandments and see that the Ten Commandments did not offer any of these things. Since the Ten Commandments cannot be altered in any way you cannot add these things to them. Sin is conquered by GODS love in us by HIS spirit. If we are empowered with this love then we can overcome sin. No one has ever overcome sin by keeping the Ten Commandments. John 1:17 grace and truth did not come by the Ten Commandments but through Jesus Christ.

The Ten Commandments are the tool GOD uses to condemn the world of sin unto death. Jesus came to save us from this condemnation. The sacrifice of Christ provides to the people that GOD calls and chooses mercy and forgiveness of our sins committed while under the law. What the law could not do GOD did through Jesus Christ. It is the ministry of the spirit that saves people, not the law, the ministry of death. GODS love in the Greek is “agape“ and is the highest type of love there is. This GODLY love is given to us by the Holy Spirit that empowers us to love as GOD and Jesus love. To love this way will fulfill any law because love does no harm. 1 Corinthians 13 describes GODLY love. The Holy Spirit in us begins to change our nature so that we take on the divine nature. The old person we were dies so the new creation, the new person may live. For a Christian the definition of sin is no longer the transgression of the law , it is, whatever is not of GODS love is sin. Sin is not loving. This love in us is GOD working in us, the works are GODS works in us, we do not work. We take a life long sabbath, our rest in Christ, the sabbath mentioned in Hebrews 4:9
The works of the law are our efforts to keep the Ten Commandments that only lead to death. The works of the two commandments Jesus gave are done in us by GOD. WE ARE GODS workmanship. This is not an easy thing for most to understand but with GOD all things are possible.

The image of GOD. GOD is not flesh and blood, GOD is spirit. All humans have a human spirit and this is how we are in GODS image. GOD wants to make the spirits of just men perfect. GOD created an image of HIMSELF in Jesus. This is not the omnipresent, omnipotent or omniscient, it’s love and righteousness. This was Jesus Christ. We are to be transformed into the image of Jesus who was the image of GOD. IF Jesus was GOD then are we going to be GOD ? Isaiah 43:10 No, we are going to be like Jesus, love and righteousness without the Omni attributes. Only GOD has the omnis. This is part of what makes him GOD. As far as the body, soul and spirit theory; a human is a soul composed of two things body and spirit. Look at how Adam was created, Adam became a living, not immortal, soul. We are all souls composed of dust and breath or body and spirit. So the three “parts” of a human to be the image of the trinity is a lie. There is only one being who is GOD, the GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ. Check out this phrase in scripture, it is repeated numerous times. Then, for unto us there is but one GOD. Take note that many times the Holy Spirit is not included with the FATHER and Jesus. The throne of GOD and the throne of the Lamb, two thrones only , what about the throne for the Holy Spirit ? The truth is that the FATHER is the Holy Spirit. If the trinity was true and GOD did become a man that would have been all through the pages of scripture as it would have been made very clear. Why did it require a council almost 300 years later to declare Jesus was GOD. How could something like that be forgotten ? When Jesus asked Peter, “who do you say that I am ?” Why didn’t Peter say you are GOD, the second member of the trinity ? There are scriptures used by trinitarians to “prove” the trinity but they are either grossly misunderstood or very poor translations. When Jesus said he was one with his FATHER trinitarians jump on this without reading John 17. We are to be one with GOD and Jesus, obviously the meaning of the word “one” has been misunderstood. There are many scriptures on various topics that have been incorrectly interpreted thus causing false doctrine. Jesus called the FATHER the one true GOD, John 17:3 Jesus said many times that he had a GOD. How can a flesh and blood human like Jesus be fully GOD and fully man at the same time, was Jesus omnipresent, omnipotent or omniscient ? It would be impossible. You would think that Satan would recognize GOD wouldn’t you ? Why would Satan try to tempt GOD. Yet Satan did try to tempt Jesus. When you examine scripture ask a lot of questions; who, what, when, where, how and why then ask GOD to give you the answers not some man.
