"Energy" is just a word that means "power to do work". So if you can't accept this term as a way of referring to God or anything of His nature, then can we just agree to use the term "power" instead, since it means the same thing? And since the term "Gods power" is Biblical?I don't like your words "energy" referring to God or anything of His nature. The words trouble me.Its like a fallacy argument.
God has many aspects of His nature and character that are know, His power, love justice, mercy etc. When a person is a new creation in Christ , there is just that, a "new creation". But our spiritual man is alive in Christ, he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit as Paul said
1 Corinthians 6:17
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."
and Jesus Christ is made
1 Corinthians 1:30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
and the word of God is sick ( alive) and powerful.
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
this power is His and part of who God is.
Although, I digress, you aren't bothered by use of the term "trinity" to refer to God or anything of His nature, and this term is never used in the Bible, but only started being used around the time of the heresy of Arius in the fourth century A.D.
But never mind that. From now on, I will not say uncreated "energies". I will say uncreated "power", of God. Is that okay with you?
Now according to the statement of yours: "this power is His and part of who God is.", So we do agree then, that GODS POWER IS GOD HIMSELF; it is NONE OTHER THAN THE LORD WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, right?
