That's not what it is exactly, the way you're thinking of it. Try to think about everything I've said on this issue so far. Because the Father is not the Holy Spirit and the Son is not the Holy Spirit. As soon as you understand what I'm saying you're going to smack yourself on the head and...

As I have said before, the alternate interpretation does not refute the primary one.

I see them as distinct from each other; I am not confusing or blending the Persons at all; but you might be dividing their essence.

I am in agreement. None of this contradicts my theology. How so, I mentioned specifically, and even brought up scripture that says, that God is a Spirit. Did you even read the post?

Scripture declares concerning the son that was given, that His name shall be called Everlasting Father. So you are the one not aligning with scripture (no doubt you will have to weasel your way around Isaiah 9:6 by trying to make it say something other than what it plainly says) when you say...

I'll show you where I get my doctrine from the Bible. God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:23-24). There is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4). Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Him (John 14:7-11). Therefore the Spirit of Jesus is the Father, the Spirit that dwells in and dwelt in Jesus is...

Did you even look up the scripture in question? 2 Timothy 3:15, And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Or, the ones who made the final decision as to what the doctrine would entail, did so with hardened hearts. btw, I am not teaching something that is not the Trinity according to the creeds. But I do say that I did not get my understanding from the creeds, but from the Bible. Therefore when I...

Adam and Eve were created on the 6th day, as far as I can tell... What scripture tells you that they were formed on the 3rd? And also, the fact that blood is not mentioned in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 does not necessarily mean that they were created without blood. You would think that it is a...

I would say the same to you.

What scripture am I disagreeing with?

Right...and the devil loves to take things out of context. All I need to do with you in answer to your notion is to say, read the context. Jesus did say, "my hand" (v.28). And, "I and my Father are one." (v.30). The implication in the passage is that Jesus' hand and the Father's hand are the...

You need to compare it to John 1:1 in the kjv.

Compare to John 8:58 in light of John 8:59 and John 10:31-33 and Exodus 3:14. The Pharisees knew that Jesus was claiming to be God (the great I AM) and wanted to stone Him for it. And John 8:24 makes the doctrine an essential for salvation.

I think we are basically saying the same thing.

I believe in the Oneness doctrine...to a point. I depart from it when I come to verses in the Bible that say that Jesus came out from the Father (John 16:27-28) and that the Spirit of truth proceeds from the Father (John 15:26)...nevertheless this cannot contradict the fact that there is one...

The Deity of Christ has a bearing on one's salvation...as believing in it is essential for salvation...John 8:24 and accompanying verses.

I bring it home by this little speil: There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and that Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). And no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3). I say to you verily that Jesus is that one Lord that I...

Suddenly got it....nice! You are saying that since only Jesus has immortality...how can the Father have immortality unless He is also Jesus...right?

I'm not sure how the question applies to the subject (call me dense if you would like to).
