    YHWH, Elohim, and Theos

    Hey... :) Yah is singular as well as EL....both signifying either Father or Son. EL GIBOR (mighty God) is an example of a reference to Jesus in Isaiah 9:6. YHVH (Lord or Yahweh) is singular ALSO signifying either Father or Son...often with the addition of "OF HOSTS" or else "MOST HIGH" to...

    One Spirit

    God the Father is omni-aware of all things. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father." Matt. 10:29 God's Spirit stretches out so that it can know all things and fill all things. There is no limit with God. He can do all things.

    In The Beginning - The Godhead

    This is called the Johannine comma...introduced into the Bible in the Middle Ages by the RC church. It is a known fabrication and no longer used in the most up to date translations.

    One Spirit

    We are not to be filled with wine....but be filled by the Spirit. Wine is not a person...and neither is the Spirit. We are comparing apples with apples here. When a person is filled with the Spirit their consciousness expands into eternal reality. There are spiritual faculties as well as carnal...

    One Spirit

    When Jesus is not there personally...we still have God's Spirit interacting with His Church. When there is a VISION of Jesus...then Jesus identifies Himself as being Jesus....as in...I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. It's normal then that a voice from God will be His Spirit speaking. God is...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    This is how Paul saw the Godhead (Catholic interpretation notwithstanding). "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." 1 Cor. 8:6 These 2 ...the Father and the Son are joined in One Spirit.

    One Spirit

    Jesus cast out demons by the "finger" of God. Is God's finger a "he" or an "it". You are confusing function with person-hood. The Spirit of God is a part of God...not a separate person. Is your hand a he or an it. Is your mind a he or an it. You need to think this out more.

    One Spirit

    Only those who enter into Christ to be joined to Him. The divisions among us are due to the many false claims of people who read the Bible in a religious way void of any truth or reality. if there was more honesty...there would be more agreement.

    What does the Bible say about self-control?

    Self-control is something that comes from our will to do what is right. It is based on human righteousness. The OT standard is what can be done in human terms while admitting that there is much more that needs to be done. Self- control is our responsibility. We live in a time where people are no...

    One Spirit

    “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” 1 Cor. 6:17 God is One Spirit. We become one with God through His Spirit. We are members one of another...by partaking of one Spirit. A dogmatic acceptance of God and theories about Him do not provide oneness. We are to be joined to the Lord...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    What makes the Father and Son ...One? And how do we become one with them? How do we have fellowship with both the Father and the Son? “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son...

    One Spirit

    Both of those are additions made by the Roman church. They stick out because they go against the rest of scriptures. The Johanine comma {1 John 5:7}was added in in the middle ages....fairly recently. The RC church believes that its tradition has the same weight as the original scriptures....a...

    One Spirit

    If we see our spirits as empty vessels (like the lamps in the parable of the 10 virgins)...and God's Spirit as what is able to fill our spirits with His Spirit (as in getting FILLED with the Spirit)...then we will understand that we need oil from God's Spirit to be a light in the world. This is...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    That Yahweh was Jesus. He knew Moses face to face. Now compare that with Yahweh...the Most High Yahweh.... In the same chapter (Exodus 33) we have 2 separate references to Yahweh...both Son And Father (the plural Elohim) "And the Lord (Yahweh the Son) spoke to Moses face to face, as a man...

    One Spirit

    The truth is more nuanced than even that. Who created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Not the devil. God is the Creator of all things. We chose to live in a world OUTSIDE of eternal life....in the temporal world. Who created the temporal realm? God did. God created the possibility...

    One Spirit

    We are indeed body soul and spirit. However our spirit is within our soul. The duality is that we are either influenced from within our spirits...or outside through our flesh. Good and evil are a duality not a trinity.

    One Spirit

    Do you consider Paul as being apostolic? Notice what he says... "For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God." Do you consider the spirit of a man as a separate person? Or do you agree with Paul...

    One Spirit

    Exactly! :) But no Jew EVER believed that God's Spirit is a separate person. But they can't explain the duality expressed in ELOHIM. However, many Jews did end believing in Christ in the early days. There are principalities and powers that want to stop us become one corporate New Man.I see the...

    One Spirit

    Amen. Do you know what is meant by the filioque". The Trinity doctrine does not bring unity but rather division. So which "apostolic" tradition (of men) is right? Is the Spirit sent by the Father only or by the Father AND the Son? Now whichever one you choose you are anathematized by the...

    One Spirit

    That's fine. As long as you don't worship a spirit other than the One that is the Father's in Jesus name...it's fine. It's when people call on the spirit and try to control it that there is danger. We can't separate God's Spirit from God and try speaking to it as a separate person. That's when...
