Holy spirit is Holy spirit,which is can be the part of God.but not God.
Is your mind about all of you?
That's NOT what the Bible says . . .

Acts 5:3-4

But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the
Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to GOD."

Scripture equets the Holy Spirit with GOD . . .

Ahhh – so, you ONLY practice what the Bible tells you to??

Sooo, you’ve never –
- Driven a car?
- Eaten spaghetti?
- Been to a theme park?
- Seen a movie?
- Ridden a bicycle?
- ASKED a question or made a REQUEST?
Juvenile deflection!
Does doing or not doing those thing have anything to do with a conversation about spiritual things? :rolleyes:

The Bible NEVER command us NOT to pray to people. I’ve done it PLENTY of times – and so YOU and everyone else.
I’m sure you Have prayed TO people, dead and alive.

Your gaslighting is nothing new. Yawn.
The Bible is FULL of examples of this . . .

To make a REQUEST, a PLEA, or an IMPLORATION is to
PRAY . . .

And yet, NONE of these verses “forbids” making REQUESTS, a PLEAS, or an IMPLORATIONS of fellow humans or brothers and sisters in Heaven . . .

The Language Lesson I gave you didn’t have a THING to do with the Catechism. In fact - I NEVER used the Catechism to define what "Pray" means.

As I've explained to you ad nauseam, it’s from the Dictionary - as well as Greek and Hebrew scholarly sources . . .

As I have already shown you – and quite AMPLY, I might add – “Prayer” simply means to ASK, to ENTREAT, IMPLORE, to REQUEST or to PLEA.

You’re as bad at Dictionary definitions as you are Scripture study . . .

Let me put it another way: suppose aliens are all telepathic, as rumored, and communicate with one another in their minds—then are they each themselves, or are they a Trinity?

BTW, the Bible says
God the father. Son. Holy spirit are one, not Trinity.
Adam and Eve are one.not Trinity.
Adam is part of a married couple.
Eve is part of Adam,come from Adam's bone and flesh.

Holy spirit and son come from God.
We all come from God.
No matter Adam and Eve.....We should be one,but we never be God.

You are preaching Modalism which has been denounced in the 4th century after the Canon was established.

Then that’s not my problem. Everything I said is from the words of the Bible; I have not tampered with the words of Scripture.

As for those who like to proclaim the Trinity, I can only say that they are “a bottle that is not full but half sloshing around”—they know just enough to be dangerous.

What they like to say is none of my business; I only know that I say what I know from the words of the Bible.

You like being brainwashed; I prefer to think independently. You’re just parroting others.

If someone tells you it’s the Trinity, you believe it.

Then there’s nothing I can do.

What a beautiful mistake! How can a human being give birth to God? How can human hands make God? How can you call the person involved in artificial insemination as your parent(s)?

I could Only say that truth/word of God being born into flesh.

And the truth/word of God being born into flesh which is son of God who is Jesus Christ.

Mary is the mother of son of God.;)

BTW, dose anyone heard of it. The “Law of One” mentioned as taught by aliens usually refers to **The Law of One / Ra Material**, a set of channeled “Ra material” transmitted between 1981 and 1984, involving Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, Jim McCarty, and others. It is not part of the Bible, nor is it part of the Christian canon.

It is called the “Law of One” not primarily because of the number “one,” but because its central claim is **“All is One”**: all things, consciousness, and the Creator are essentially of the same origin and are one; the sense of separateness is regarded as an illusion. The so-called “law” is not a legal code either, but refers to the fundamental principles of cosmic and consciousness evolution, such as the “Law of One,” the “Law of Free Will,” and the “Law of Love and Light,” etc.

Compared with the Bible, it has some superficial similarities: the Bible also speaks of the one God (Deut. 6:4) and unity (John 17:21; Eph. 4:3–6). But the source, cosmology, view of densities/evolution, and view of salvation in *The Law of One* are all different from those of the Bible. So it is fine to be curious and to compare, but discernment is needed: your judgment that it “may not be the words of the Bible” is sound.

I just want to throw out a brick to attract jade—this may not be the words of the Bible. But I’m curious why it is called the Law of One.

1 Timothy 2:5
There is One God and one Mediator between God and men; the man Christ Jesus.

No pope can stand between me and my Saviour.
No handmaiden (Mary) can stand between me and my Saviour.
No priest can stand between me and my Saviour.

The RCC calls Mary "The Queen of Heaven" and THAT mess was condemned in no uncertain terms by The Word of God. The Queen of Heaven was the moon god Ashteroth in Jeremiah.

How many times must we tell you that the RCC is corrupt and ALL who defend her are idolatrous.
Can you tell me who the woman in Revelation 12 is and why the dragon pursued her?

They certainly didn’t learn to bow to statues from the Catholic Church.
Perhaps YOU can show me from the Catechism where it teaches is to bow, worship or pray TO statues . . .

I’ll wait right here for your well-researched response . . .
Catholic Catechism is Catholics well known sidekick book FOR Catholics and Catholic Teaching.

Let me remind you, a ‘sola scripture’ follower, that it was also a council to determine which books should be included in the canon.

What if you ‘know’ the Bible in your own way, not the God’s way?
If that is truly the case, then in a certain sense I have placed myself in the position of God. According to the words of the Bible, that is taking the name of God in vain.

I only know a famous and very ancient Chinese proverb: To know what you know, and to know what you do not know—that is true knowledge.

I never know the Trinity in the Bible.

Let me correct you that the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) ends at paragraph 2865. There is no CCC 3132!
