  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Creation of Man patterned after God - the GodHead

It’s very difficult to see that there are three that are God - within the Godhead; God, God, and Holy Spirit.

Before Christ came, God spoke to God and said let us make man. Taking the understanding that within the Godhead there are three, the pattern of Man is exactly the same. Within Man, there are many, just like within the Godhead there are three.

The two in the Godhead made provisions to save man, which included the third, the Holy Spirit. One God decided to come to earth to become the Son to save man while the other God received him as His Son.
Psalms 45:7 KJV
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Jesus became the Son of God only when he was born of God through the Holy Ghost and a virgin. Before Jesus was crucified, having stepped down from His position as God in Heaven, He prayed to God Who is now His Father to be restored to the glory He once had. This verse proves this,
John 17:5 KJV
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

This is Jesus titles;
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

These titles belong to Jesus because He is God, has always been God, has always been One of Three in the Godhead.

We can only understand Man and how within the creation, there are many men. Same as within the animal world patterned after heaven; within the animal kingdom, there are many, patterned after God within the Godhead, there are Three!

Understanding this can help people see why Jesus is God and He is the Son at the same time.

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