That is N.O.T. the Nicene CreedThere is ONE God - a triune Godhead; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
"We believe in One God, the Father..."
The Son is not that God, the Son is our Lord and the Lord over all created heaven & earth (John 5:22-27, Matthew 28:18)
The triune "Godhead" is N.O.T. The One True "God" The Father
"We believe in One God, the Father..."
You are taking liberties with the Nicene creed of "Victory"
of course, The Father made all things through His Words, Genesis 1:1The Son is the One through whom the universe was created and came into being. The Word was with the Father in the beginning and all things were created through him, John 1:2-3, Colossians 1:15-16, Hebrews 1:2-3.
There is ONE God.
"We believe in One God, the Father..."
They are all God in essence & nature, i.e. they are all "Godly / Godlike / Divine"The Father, the Son and the Spirit are God - all of them.
ONE God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
but of the Godhead, only The Father is The God
"We believe in One God, the Father..."
This boils down to things like Genesis 1:1 and the Nicene Creed line 1
by the sovereign Will of The God The Father, yesYet Scripture states that all things were created through the Son; nothing exists, or could exist, without the Son.
you are describing the triune GodheadThere is one God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Father is God
The Son is God
The Spirit is God.
There is ONE God.
The Nicene Creed line one, phrase one, reads
"We believe in One God, the Father..."
"We believe in One God[head], the Father & Son & Spirit..."
so he has three different "modes" of interacting with the world?Just as my brother is a father, a husband and a brother, yet one man.
He does not have the same relationship with his children as he has with his wife.
He does not have the same relationship with his wife as he has with me, (no way am I sleeping with him.)
When we are all together, he does not stop being a father when he is talking to his wife, or stop being a husband when he is talking to me.
That is "modalism"
God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
"We believe in One God, the Father..."
You are confusing & conflating & combining & merging & smushing together the Person of God The Father and His Godly Godlike Divine Essence & Nature which is shared amongst all three Persons of the triune GodheadWhen the Son was on earth, teaching, healing and saving; he did not stop being God.
and never once becomes The God The Father of Genesis 1:1When the Spirit of truth is leading us to Jesus, making us God's children, giving us gifts and so on, he does not stop being God.
The Godhead is not God.They are GOD; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
You think The Father somehow derives from the triune Godhead?
The Father generates the triune Godhead
we all have multiple person-ality disorder?We are created, individual, unique human beings - ALL made in the image of God to reflect his nature and glory.
absolutely, God's own Word & Spirit are just as transcendent & eternal, existing beyond creation, as The God The Father HimselfThe Son and Spirit were not created; they are eternal.
again, you're dropping the all important definite article, unambiguously present in the original inspired 1st century GreekGod the Father sent God the Son to die and redeem the world. After God the Son had been raised and ascended, he sent God the Spirit to live in us and guide us into all truth.
Somebody tell me how to say "Sola Scriptura" in Greek, please?
"The [one]" God the Father sent the Son, and "routes" His Spirit through the Son
The Father generates the Spirit, and the Spirit is directed by the Word
again, Jesus was God's Word incarnateIf Jesus was not God, then it was only a man who died on the cross, and he could not have saved us.
If Jesus was not God, he was a liar and a blasphemer, and not the spotless Lamb of God that Peter declared him to be, 1 Peter 1:19-20. Sinners cannot die for the sins of the world, so, if Jesus was not God, we have no Saviour.
If the Spirit is not God then he cannot know the mind of God, cannot intercede for us, and we do not have God himself living in us.
God's Word created the whole entire universe
God's Word can save one planet therein, yes?
I'm not diminishing God's Word, rather you are diminishing The God The Father
Please look up "Monarchy of the Father" -- ancient, Orthodox belief
