If the thread is about the beliefs of the Latter-day Saints (Mormons) then only orthodox (Trinitarian) Christians and Mormons may participate in the thread.
If you seek to follow the Son of God then you will have to note He uses truth.
Jesus to the Father:Now this is eternal life: that they know you,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Fathers promise:‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out
my Spirit on all people.
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.
33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received
from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
34For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
Jesus calls the Father the one true God. If Jesus always was and always was God how then do you believe in ONE God for Jesus stated on the cross "Father into your hands i commit my spirit"
John 1:1 is cohesive with what I believe about the Son
He is all that the Father is He was with the Father at the beginning of creation (genesis) and the creation was made through Him and nothing was set in place in heaven without Him. He is before all things except the Father who He states is His God and our God.
If Jesus is not the Fathers Son then whose Son is he?
If Jesus always was and always was God then how did He become the Son?
The Father also testifies He is the God of Jesus and He is the One who set Jesus above all.
But about the
Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God,
your God, has set you above
your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
e
Is Jesus God?
He never dies.
Yes, He is all that the Father is.
No, He has always been the Son.
How do you view the Spirit of God as a separate distinct "person" from the
Father? As in a separate Spirit, will , and mind. Especially since the Father refers to that Spirit as His Own as in "MY Spirit" Jesus does not. And there is only ONE DIVINE spirit as in One God.
yet
for us there is but one God,
the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
By whose Spirit were the miracles performed by? Whose Spirit dwells in the Son with His Spirit? Whose Spirit raised Jesus from the dead? Whose Spirit was over the waters in Genesis?
Jesus received from the Father what you should see is that the Father has glorified His Firstborn above all His other Children as in the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him. From another will.
Can you show were the Father,(from whom all things came), received from any other being?
Rev 1:6
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve
his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
The Father is in the Son and they are one.
Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is
the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
Jesus has His own mind will and spirit as a son should but that can't be stated about the Spirit of God in regard to the Father.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only
what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
Hears from what source- The mind of the Spirit. The Father as its His Spirit. The Son as Jesus has been given such authority and the Fullness. Jesus wills and the HS will act just as the Father wills and His Spirit acts.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
27And he who searches our hearts knows
the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people
in accordance with the will of God.
For who knows a person's thoughts except
their own spirit within them?
In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except
the Spirit of God.
So how do you state the Spirit of God is a separate distinct person from the Father. As in Own mind, will and spirit like the Son. There certainly is a oneness as its Gods very own Spirit. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one in that manner.
