and to Purity, your doctrine of the Godhead Please?.

****************************************************************************************************
2 HiddenManna, and Purity,
In the name of the Lord JESUS, I will address your trinity doctrine concerning the three person you have put in the Godhead. here in Matthew 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased". lets look at these scriptures more closely.
#1. you have the Man Jesus being baptized.
#2. you have the Spirit like a dove.
#3. you have a voice from heaven.
Many of the trinity doctrine states that these scriptures point to the three person in the Godhead. lets give scripture to understand this. 1 Corinthians 12:6 "And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all".
lets look at the word "operations", G1755 ἐνέργημα energema (en-erg'-ay-mah) n.
1. an effect
[from G1754]
KJV: operation, working
Root(s): G1754
and now the word "diversities". as used here in verse 6 in relation to "operations" or the work of God.
G1243 διαίρεσις diairesis (dee-ai'-res-is) n.
1. a distinction or (concretely) variety
[from G1244]
KJV: difference, diversity
Root(s): G1244
so we see that operation here is a "WORK" of the ETERNAL SPIRIT. and the "diversities" is the different kind of work, or working of the ETERNAL SPIRIT. but the question must be asked, what "work"?.
lets start with the MAN JESUS being baptized. and see the working of the ETERNAL SPIRIT. Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men". this word "made", as in the likeness", is the Greek word,
G1096 γίνομαι ginomai (ghin'-om-ai) v.
1. to cause to be ("gen"-erate)
2. (reflexively) to become (come into being)
{used with great latitude (literal, figurative, intensive, etc.)}
[a prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb]
KJV: arise, be assembled, be(-come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, X soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought
there's our definition, "be ordained to be". now the question is, what is "to be". answer, H1961 הָיָה hayah (haw-yaw) v.
1. to exist
2. to be or become
3. to come into being, i.e. to happen, to occur (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary)
[a primitive root]
KJV: beacon, X altogether, be(-come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-)self, require, X use.
where have we seen "H1961 הָיָה hayah" before?. that's right Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you". so we see that he who was Baptized is "hayah", or I AM, or "to be". and this is the almighty, "to be" in flesh and blood. the one whom you call GOD, whom I call the ETERNAL SPIRIT/HOLY SPIRIT. now can we back this up in scripture, YES we can. remember our definition of G1096 "to be" is "be ordained to be". lets see this ordination, when and where. 1 Peter 1:19 "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you". well, well our Lord have just thrown a spiritual fast ball right over your spiritual heads. Christ was foreordained "before" the foundation of the worlds. meaning before Genesis 1:1. but watched what the apostle Peter said, "but was manifest in these last times for you". question, when was Christ manifested?. answer, John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
the word, or the terms "was, and "with" tells us when. so the Manifestation of the Spirit is in the form of a MAN, called Christ.
so HiddenManna, what you call an aspect of God is simply a manifestation not another "PERSON". but the one true God in MANIFESTATION, meaning to be seen. other words he "appeared". because he will appear again, at his second coming. so, Philippians 2:8 "And being found, (meaning being seen), in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross". Philippians 2:5 " Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men". there's the term "was" as in John 1:1. Luke 3:22 "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased". ok lets seen, John 5:37 "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape". now, can Jesus lie? NO. in all these shapes, forms, fashions, or figure of God is his operations. it's the distinction, or (diversities), in our definition of the word "diversities". another word for distinction is conspicuous: 1. easily seen or noticed; readily visible or observable. (remember one cannot see the Spirit with the naked eye) 2. manifest, noticeable, clear, marked, salient. take note, readily perceived by the eye or the understanding; evident; obvious; apparent. that's concretely variety. remember our definition?, G1243 διαίρεσις diairesis (dee-ai'-res-is) n.
1. a distinction or (concretely) variety something not seen manifested. variety, in a form, or a figure, or a shape or, a similitude, or a fashion, or an IMAGE. do you know what that means. in John 1:1, God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT took on the foreordain form, the foreordain shape, the foreordain fashion, the foreordain figure, the foreordain similitude, the foreordain image, which is a MAN. and this was before the foundation of the world was even laid. that's the, "us", and the, "we", in Genesis 1:26. and the "LORD said unto my Lord". the wisdom of Proverb 8. God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT, not seen, Now, seen or manifested in the image of a man. supporting scripture, 1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory". there's the Godhead answer in a nut shell. now to remove the veil on some hearts, and to correct this false doctrine of the trinity, lets breakdown these word definitions. for concrete: Existing in a material or physical form; real or solid; not abstract, meaning able to, touch, taste, hear, SEE and speak. what is the opposite of concrete?. indeterminate, and what's the opposite of indeterminate?, KNOWN. God the ETERNAL SPIRIT, made known of himself , his thoughts, his will, through flesh, bone, and blood. as a man. and this man, this flesh, bone, and blood made known or manifested the thoughts, or the will of GOD in the earth realms. the term "WORD", or Logos, means "EXPRESSION of THOUGHTS". the thoughts of God is with him, for thoughts is Spirit. the ETERNAL SPIRIT in the beginning, YES, before the foundation of the world, before Genesis 1:1. have already thought out the plan to be with his chosen People. and this was done before the messiah step on the earth. that thought, that word, that "EXPRESS IMAGE", is now "with" us in the form, the shape, the fashion, the figure, similitude, or the IMAGE of God, which is A MAN. as with the thoughts of people made manifested on pen and paper in words, which one can be seen, and spoken. just as at the baptism of our Lord Jesus, for us to see and HEAR. and in John 14:7 "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. say what Jesus?, "from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him". listen verse 8, Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?". answer: the Form (Philippians 2:7): The visible shape or configuration of something. The essential nature of a species or thing. regarded as an abstract ideal that real things imitate or participate in, especially thoughts. as in the example of the pen and the paper to convey one's thoughts. that form a temporary structure for holding the thoughts of GOD. in shape while it carry out his will, (the objective). that son of God, that body of flesh was a temporary structure, or temple for the ETERNAL SPIRIT to fulfill his word spoken in the old testament. for the true structure is not made with human hands, but eternal. it's a particular way in which a thing exists or appears; in shape, and form, a manifestation. again, (that son of God, that body of flesh, which manifested the Spirit that was in it), this is the FORM of GOD or the image of God , a man. 2 Corinthians 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation". so we see from our definition who and what the Spirit is in the flesh. which is his second dispensations. which as a MAN he is REDEEMER, and SAVED us. Glory to our KING.
what one calls an aspects, or an appearance, is of the SAME ONE PERSON. hence this PERSON, the ETERNAL SPIRIT, the same self Spirit that who appeared. as the apostle Paul said. 1 Corinthians 12:11 "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will". lets understand, where that we may be edified. I posted this before.
the ETERNAL SPIRIT is omnipresent in Spirit, and ubiquitous in the glorified body, by or through his Spirit. let me explain, Ubiquitous is applied to that which seems to appear in many and all sorts of places. after his resurrection our Lord appeared and disappeared in many places. example, John 20:19 "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you". (notice, Jesus didn't knock on the door, no blood to hinder now). also he appears on the road to Emmaus. an appearance is not a manifestation such as a vision, or dreams. but the reality can be. to the best of my knowledge. the difference between a manifestation and an appearance is this. an appearance is the source, made "BY", or "through" an "OBJECT" in one place at one time. meaning a shape, form, or fashion, in appearance. a manifestation is the source "of" the "OBJECT", in many places and many times. in shape, form, or fashion. example, when Thomas ask our Lord Jesus/God how will he manifest himself to them, and not the world. (see John 14:22) this is how?, in the spiritual gifts of 1 Corinthians, chapter 12 verses 4-7. "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal". THERE'S THE MANIFESTATION OF JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT. for it is only ONE "GOD" as 1 Corinthians 12:6 plainly states. and that ONE GOD is the SAME, "Lord", and the SAME Lord is the SAME "Spirit", supportive scripture, 2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty". that SAME God that same Lord is the Spirit. our bro Thomas said it best "My God, and my Lord". THAT'S WHY THE SPIRIT DIDN'T COME UNTIL OUR LORD JESUS RETURNED, TO BE IN ALL POWER ,meaning (,G1849, exousia, as well as,G1411, dunamis). so that he my be "UBIQUITOUS" in his glorified body, remember our definition of appearance, "by", or "through" an object. God/Jesus/THE ETERNAL SPIRIT, body is the object, (the son of God, that was made, "flesh") which the Spirit/God operated "by" or "through". for he's, that child, that son of Isaiah 9:6. which is God's/ the ETERNAL SPIRIT "ARM" or Power, (authority, G1849, exousia) and the wisdom of the ETERNAL SPIRIT in flesh & blood. that's why he is called, Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. on earth in flesh and blood God could heal only one person at a time because that flesh, with blood, (hence the mighty God, Isaiah 9:6). in the natural, that blood, it limited the power of God only to one place at one time on while here EARTH in that body. this is the theological debate known as "the Intrinsic Spatial". Jesus touch only one person at a time. remember, he "took on the FORM of a servant". but , now, no more, he is in glorification with a body, he is ubiquitous, ALL POWER, without the blood. was this not foretold?, even the prophets of old didn't know, but prophesied it, 1 Peter 1:10 "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow". this is the glory that our bro Stephen saw when he was stone, this is the glory David saw, when he said, "the LORD said unto my Lord, sit at my right hand", see Rev chapter 5, right hand meaning in power (in flesh, God's arm of flesh, see 1 Corinthians 1:24). this is what Isaiah saw, in the throne room of the almighty, (see Isaiah chapter 6), and this is what John on the island of Patmos saw in the book of Revelation, one seated on the throne and in full power and glorified with his NEW BODY, or TABERNACLE, the revealing of the true God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT in FLESH AND BONE, the Lord JESUS.
his Spirit is everywhere, so he can appear everywhere, at any time in full power. scripture, Jeremiah 23:23 "Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD". so by his Spirit which is every where, he can appear anywhere at any time. and manifest himself also, as in us. (see 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
