John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

[GEN2REV]

The Persons in the Godhead are "distinct" but not "separate". The Father never became Man, nor did the Holy Spirit. It was the Word that became flesh, Who is Jesus Christ. Not the Father or the Holy Spirit. It was Jesus Christ Who died for our sins on the cross, Not the Father or the Holy Spirit, etc. You cannot confound the Three Persons.

Actually, the Webster's definition for Distinct means Separate.

Definition of distinct
1: distinguishable to the eye or mind as being discrete (see DISCRETE sense 1) or not the same : SEPARATE

Definition of DISTINCT

I find it interesting that the word Godhead is only used in 3 verses in scripture...

(Acts 17:29)(Romans 1:20)(Colossians 2:9)

...and if you do a word study on it in the Hebrew and Greek, not only does there seem to be no word that directly translates it in either language, but it is also always in the singular form.

Just a noteworthy observation.

"distinct", because they are not "identical" as Persons. To say the are "separate", would mean that their "essence" is different, as the heretic Origen taught

Catholics have the Monopoly of terms causing absolute confusion about the scripture, creating in the mind imaginary things!
And the "Protestants" took much of that with them.

THINK!
The Bible describes God as ONE. Churchianity has him 'Three-in-One'.
The Bible describes God as Almighty. Churchianity as 'Three Co-Equal' ('Co-Almighty').
The Bible describes God as creating Adam as living soul. Churchianity has Him putting a "Immortal Soul" in him.
The Bible describes God saying they would DIE. Churchianity has them going to Heaven or Hellfire.
The Bible describes God send his only-begotten son. Churchianity has Him/Them coming himself/theirselves.
The Bible describes Jesus as dying. Churchianity him LIVING those 3 days.

And, there is MUCH much more.

Yes, there essence most certainly is different. Jesus is flesh who died. God is Spirit who does not change ... the more you know ...

I agree with you there.

Unfortunately, the problem is that the Catholic Church ITSELF defines them AS Separate and states so clearly in their own documentation.

Trinity/Godhead

Catholic Doctrine

"The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the Trinity as the following: “The mystery of the one God in three Persons ..."

"God can reveal himself as three separate beings (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) while still being God in “one essence, ..."
Trinity Godhead Catholic LDS Christianity | Catholic Roots Mormon Harvest

That is the biggest problem with this doctrine for me, among other things.

Separating personhood from being is a Catholic invention.

It is no mystery. It is nonsense.

You are not really interested in knowing what the Bible actually says because it will prove what you believe to be heresy

The trinitarian delusion. The truth is the trinity is not in the Bible. It is so important, in 66 books, it is not mentioned or explicitly taught once. Saddest part is trinitarians cannot even admit it.

LOL You are really only interested in imposing your trinitarian doctrine onto unitarian text.

Oh they’ll get to you. They don’t take kindly to closing a thread that goes against their statement of faith and then having someone restart it for their proselytizing.

Jesus is Lord!

now tell us Lord does not mean God!

lk 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Lk 1:43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Jn 1: 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

Jesus is Lord, Lord is God!

Deut. 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

1 Corinthians 12:3
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
