Are both these statements true?

A very wise lady gave me a very excellent and simple example of this look at the egg it is three part shell,white, and yolk yet one egg you can even seperate these parts throw the shell in the trash, put the whites in a cake batter, and eat the yolk and its still just one egg doing three differnt things this is the best example of one God three parts each being complete on its own yet all being one in the same.

Because they arent exactly right questions there is one God he has three aspectssame as you body,mind, soul one person same as the egg one egg three partsthe father is himself he is the son he is the holy spirit three parts one God he is not flesh so he being God can be all three at once and or seperate these parts just as I showed with the egg

People say He is three separate persons, but this is not what I see. He is one being with three forms.Take water as a simile. It can be a solid, liquid, and vapor. but it is still water. This is the impression I have from reading the Bible so far.The trinity is a good example of people making something into a rigid doctrine.

I dont know but when you understand the mystry of Gods oneness it is truly awsome.Kriss describe it well with the egg.

Are you a troll? Didn't we go through this already on another thread?

They are both true. God is one being, but their are 3 different aspect of him. Jesus- God came in the form of man to die on the cross for our sins so that we may have eternal life.Holy Spirit- When you ask Jesus into your heart you are filled with the spirit. I will let someone else explain more deeply about this particular part.Father- The heavenly being God is one God, but these are the three way's he is in our lives, that doesn't exactly sound right but I think you get what I am trying to say. Yes, God is our father. When we accept him into our hearts we are filled with his spirits. So in a sense he becomes part of us. Just like Jesus was God in the flesh filled with the spirit. We are children of God.

I'd say the first statement is true and the second is not. By narrowing your focus to "the father" you acknowledge that there is a trinity (or a trinitarian viewpoint) and if that were the case and the only god was The Father, you'd be excluding the other two members of the godhead.It really just boils down to semantics.My understanding of the trinity has been shaped by Genesis, that we are created in His image so we reflect his attributes.Humans are also comprised of three parts. 1)A soul (identity, emotions, intellect etc...) 2)A body (skeletal system, organ tissue, blood, hair, lovehandles...)3)A spirit (our eternal existence that either communes with God or satan)All of these parts make up a person, cannot be separated (until death) and are all equally important (until death)In the same way, God is triune. 1) Father (identity etc.) 2) Son (flesh) 3) Holy Spirit (spirit) Now this reasoning could very well be flawed but it's helped me understand.

Agreed Papatime

So yall don't believe God is the Father?

I believe God is the Father.

Where did you get that we all said the oppisite that God is the father

I think there are analogies galore of the three-fold nature of God. Another one I use is the computer: hardware, software, and power to run it. All are separate, yet all are one computer and there is no solid dividing line between each as sometimes they overlap.I think the whole problem with trinitarian debate is the over analysis and trying to split something in compartmental parts that should not be. Before anyone thinks I have a simple mind, you are right to a degree. Simpler is more genius--- that's how Einstein thought.. I remember getting perfect scores on some of my calculus exams and even a statistics final exam. So, there is nothing wrong with my logic, and simpler is sometimes better (just in case there are some prejudging atheists looking in that automatically equate Christianity with superstition and ignorance).

Well PapaTime said he believed the second statement to be false, and the second statement is that God is the father. Then you said you agreed with him so I assumed that you didn't believe God is the father. My B

Yes that statement is the closest but then he went on to say Body,mind and soul we are made in his image or you can use Tims example One God three parts to him all =1

Ok so you do believe that God is the father. ...Good
