now Randy if what you said is true, then is it the same person in John 1:3 the same person in Isaiah 44:24 who "MADE ALL THINGS", yes or no?
YOU SAID, "John was talking about Jesus who as God's Word co-created the universe. It was through the Word that God made the universe. That was the tool through which God operated in the creation of the universe".
see Randy this is what I'm talking about, notice what you said, "John was talking about Jesus who as God's Word co-created the universe." that's the ERROR you made, Jesus did not co-create anything with anyone. LISTEN to the scripture, Isaiah 44:24 "Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;"
did you read that Randy? he was "ALONE" and "BY HIMSELF". do you know what "ALONE" means? listen, having no one else present. meaning there was no other person or anything there. and "by myself", means ALONE, just googlr those words "alone", and " bu oneseld". so there was no co-creator, and he didn't go through anyone elese because there was no one else to go through.
this is the problem, it not any trinity, nor is there any Modalism, what people are overlooking is just what the bible say, John 1:1 the Word was "WITH" God and is GOD, meaning it's the same one PERTSON. but the question is HOW IS THE LORD JESUS THE SAME ONE PERSON BUT YET A PLURALITY AS "FATHER" & "SON". understanding "with" will reveal how JESUS "one" person is a plurality of his ownself in flesh and be a man/in likeness and God, (Spirit) at the same time. that's what you are lacking. that knowledge is in the bible, but no one what to see it, it's right in our faces. the bible clearly, and plainly said, Romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
see Randy we all have no excuse. the scripture states, "that which may be known of God is manifest in them". them, them, them, meaning mankind. so what is mankind? answer ... "ANOTHER" of one's ownself. how do I know this? Roman just said, "being understood by the things that are made". God, Jesus the Holy Spirit MADE ALL THING, including MAN, male and female... BINGO there is our answer. listen carefully, Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
WHAT IS THE IMAGE OF GOD? ANSWER "ANOTHER" of oneself. scripture, the very next verse, Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." did you see that word "them", now back to romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them" there is the "them". the question, "them" who? the male and the female. are we speaking gender.. NO, but numerical difference. hold this in your mind. listen to what MAN means as male and female.
H120 אָדָם 'adam (aw-dawm') n-m.
ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.).
[from H119]
KJV: X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
Root(s): H119
now Randy, see the (mankind) there. this is the "THEM" (mankind), that the apostle Paul spoke of in Romans 1:19. why because the Hebrew term here for man, as (MANKIND) is H120, for the single person it's H119. NOW HERE COMES the Revelation in. in H120 which identifies MAN/ADAM as MANDKIND, it is translated also as "ANOTHER", see the definition directly above. and another is what the Greek identify as G243 allos. now listen to the definition. Allos expresses a numerical difference and denotes another of the same sort. remember I told you to keep, "numerical difference" in your head. well the numerical difference of MAN/ADAM as H120 אָדָם according to Genesis 1:26 and 27 is ANOTHER of one's ownself. see or understand, the woman came from the man, now watch this......
John 13:3 "Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;"
John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
John 16:28 "I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
a many of Christians think "come or came is speaking of distance here, no not in context here, come or came is speaking of "source". not in distance from one place to another, no. but your source. just as with ignorant earthly men in using "with" in John 1:1 out of context, because they are ignorant of God Holy Word.
JUST AS THE WOMAN COME FROM THE MAN, the Lord Jesus the Christ "CAME" from the Father. see Adam and Eve are the same, as one, but is a numerical difference. remember what G243 allos states, Allos expresses a numerical difference and denotes another of the same sort. the same sort, or the same NATURE, the woman is of the same, NATURE, flesh and bone as the man, the Lord Jesus is the same Spirit who is GOD, as Phil 2:6 clearly points out, "EQUAL ..... "WITH" there is that word again, "WITH"... God, who is Spirit.
see, or by understand John 1:1 and the term "WITH" then one can know why in Genesis 1:26 God said US and OUR, and why in the very next verse say, he and him, meaning ONE PERSON. see by understanding the term "WITH" at John 1:1 and at Phil 2:6 and in Isaiah 41:4 then one can understand the Godhead. also by understanding the term "ONE" at Deuteronomy 6:4 the H259 אֶחָד 'echad, then one can know why, JESUS, who is one person who is both the title holder of "Father", and "Son" at the samne time, remember G243 allos, a numerical difference of one ownself.
this is bible revelation. you don't get this in a standard class room, but only from, and by God, the Lord Jesus the GREAT TEACHER, the Holy Ghost.
see Randy, Diversity, the "sharing" of oneself vs your trinity doctrine of "Separation" of many person of three is your Sabellianism or modalism in REVERSE. understanding the Godhead is "diversity" and it's in the bible, better known as the "OFFSPRING".
what I was taught is in the BIBLE, because it is the truth. we suggest you re-read this post for clarity. we just gave you the Godhead in a nutshell.
