Negotiating the Fundamental Beliefs - 2

[payattention]

There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation.

The first sentence implies that there are only three persons in the Godhead. Can we truly make that claim? We have three manifestations of the Creator of the universe, but did He have any obligation to reveal everyone of His manifestations to us? Let us assume that there is intelligent life on other planets. Would they need a Christ and a parakletos?

[Lauri4Him]

Are you questioning the fundamental belief statement or are you really questioning the Bible upon which the statement is based?

Actually the Bible thogh the text i would have to locate again and the spirit of prophecy says there are other worlds that were created. The difference is they did not fall to tempation.
