The Blessed Trinity!

[quietbloke]

'In this one God there are three persons,perfectly equal and of the same substance. The Father who proceeds from none. The Son who is begotten of the Father before all ages and the Holy Spirit,who proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son and that these three persons are all equally eternal,equal in wisdom and power and all three one and the same LORD,one and the same God.'

I don't understand your point/question here.
Could you elucidate a little please, or is it simply intended as a devotion?

Hi 'inkfingers'. Simply a declaration of truth concerning the Godhead.

Matthew 28 gives the Great Commission, confirming the reality of the Trinity, directly from Jesus himself...wow...

18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

'In the beginning God...' (Genesis 1:1) 'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was made flesh among us..' (John 1:1) 'God's Holy Spirit hovered over the waters..' (Genesis 1:1-5)

God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Man.

A Quadrinity.

"What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!...Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him." -- (John 6:62, John 13:31).

Jesus became Man. Man was never God!

 

[quietbloke]

God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. One God revealed in three persons. Man was created by God and is not God,but one with God as part of His family when born again. This does not make Man God!

 

[quietbloke]

'Holy! Holy! Holy! LORD God Almighty!'

 

[musicalpilgrim]

'Holy! Holy! Holy! LORD God Almighty!'

"For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin."

John 1 (NLT)
Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word
1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Man can be a child of God and partake in the Divine nature. Man will never be God. There is one God revealed in three persons. God the Father. God the Son and God the Holy Spirit but only One God.

 

[rocknanchor]

Jesus had a sin nature just as man does, which he overcame on the behalf of man.
Jesus not only died for sin on the behalf of man, he also conquered sin in his own flesh on the behalf of man:
"For what the law could not do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh" -- (Romans 8:3).
Jesus condemned the sin in the flesh of man by conquering the sin in his own flesh.

The un-willingness to refrain from this direct contradiction of v15 doesn’t lessen the impact of the message. As a justification for you and me, He died "for" sins, not with sins. He would not have - as you say “conquered sin in his own flesh” without being sinless.

Honestly, I think you may have over-corrected. He didn’t take upon a sin nature, He took the penalty of the sin nature. We must not tamper with that truth, ,

“For Christ also suffered once for sins” (I Peter 2:21)
“Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust” (I Peter 3:18)
“, , as of a lamb unblemished and spotless” (I Peter 1:19).​

We love Him. One God. Father,Son and Holy Spirit who stooped down to lift us up as part of His family!

Hulleluyah! Hulleluyah! Hulleluyah! Amen!

You can read what the Pentecostal/AOG believe about the Trinity on www.ag.org

 

[musicalpilgrim]

Through the human nature of Christ, who is also God, Man is now included in the divine nature of God.

May I ask...do you feel on an equal footing with God?

 

[quietbloke]

God is the Creator. Man was created by God not to be God,but part of the family of God

 

[quietbloke]

We are afraid to say that Man is God because we don’t want to exalt Man to the status of God.
But the truth is that it is God who has exalted Man to the status of God through His Son and through His Holy Spirit.

The Son of God took on the nature of Man and also became the embodiment of Man through the divine union of His Spirit with Man.

"Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." -- (Colossians 3:11).

The Son is the embodiment of Man. The Son of God is both God and Man. Therefore, through the Son, God is Man and Man is God.

Your teaching is not acceptable on the Pentecostal/AOG sub-forum and need to be removed. You are in violation of the fundamental truths of this sub-forum.

 

[quietbloke]

Man is not God.

 

[quietbloke]

Man shares in the Divine nature of God through Christ and is adopted into the family of God,but is not and never will be God. Christ became man but man cannot become God and that is the Word of the Lord.
