the Christian Paradigm of thinking is changing, and average christians are BREAKING the CHAINS of deception by the devil. as this topic states, "The Holy Spirit". for he is the only person in the Godhead who holds both titles "Father" and "Son". there are no three, three. NO, only ONE, ONE, "diversified". Jesus is the Father, and he is the Son, but how? the Greek have 2 word for our 1 English one word "Another". the term Another, or G243 "ANOTHER", Allos expresses a numerical difference and denotes another of the same sort. a Numerical difference is God being a "diversity" of himself as the ordinal "First"/Father and the ordinal "Last"/Son. that's it in a nutshell. as ordinal "First"/Father he CREATED and MADE all things by HIMSELF, he is ALONE. that why Jesus the Lord as ordinal "Last" said ... "HE" made them male and female. and Jesus as ordinal "Last" in a body of Flesh and blood, he is REDEEMER, and SAVIOUR of all things. he is as G243 allos states, a numerical difference but the "SAME SORT", this is what Phil 2:6 describe as "EQUAL" with God. same sort means same person, and the numerical difference comes as expressed, he's "ANOTHER" of God in flesh, or in a body, just as Matthews 1:23 states. that's the difference, not a separation of distinctions persons, no but the equal sharing of oneself in flesh body. in that flesh body with blood, as the equal share, God could separate from it, which is the first death, supportive scripture. as our brother James put it, 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." it's the body that he came in "DIES", not God who is a Spirit. the first death is physical, or NATURAL. God is not phyical, or NATURAL. the Spirit don't die, but the flesh do. so when Jesus said, "I am he who was dead, and now alive", he was not lying. for in the first resurrection death have no power over those who had died in the first death. and Jesus, who is God, is the first fruit of those who have died. oh yes, we can take hope, for he, GOD, JESUS is living proof of "LIFE" after "NATURAL DEATH". and JESUS is the "WAY".

first thanks for the reply, second, ERROR, for the scriptures clearly states, Romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."The defining of the Godhead has to be left alone for the simple reason that no man can define it.
first thanks for the reply, second, ERROR, for the scriptures clearly states, 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:"
well God say the opposit, he says, we may KNOW of HIM.
it seems to me that now the TRUTH is coming out, many christian are FEARING the TRUTH, but we have not been given the spirit of FEAR, but a sound mind.
so no thanks, I'll get to know the Godhead and his powers.

A stretch at best, you win
Is there any published stories, reports, reviews, interviews, or evidence of this specifically ?the Christian Paradigm of thinking is changing, and average christians are BREAKING the CHAINS of deception by the devil.
in the hearts and souls of men and women, when was the last time you hear someone being saved? was it in the newspapers, or on TV? that's carnal thinking.Is there any published stories, reports, reviews, interviews, or evidence of this specifically ?
It certainly is not happening across the usa, nor around the world, "in the news"/ known to others....
That may or not be true, it is subject to being tested, as always.in the hearts and souls of men and women, when was the last time you hear someone being saved? was it in the newspapers, or on TV? that's carnal thinking.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. - John 14:20,26.
The hardest thing for a believer will always be; living what they know. You can get so tied up in life and circumstances that you forget who you are. Your forgetter will always work better than your rememberer. That is where the importance of the Holyspirit in your life comes to the forefront. He is the revealer of Christ, he fixes it in the believer or brings to remembrance that Christ is our life. It is a reminder if you will of who we are. When you rant and rage about life, the Holyspirit is there to remind you "that is not how we live." It is more than conviction, conviction has to do with a sepated life, a reminder is the Holyspirit working in your life so you can live what you know. You know why people are afraid of grace? Because in grace you have no law to fall back on, the ball is in your court so to speak to live what you know.
I have had people literally cover their ears because they didn't want to hear about grace as a message because they knew the were not living it. Strange breed this creation called humanity. Law is an escape from responsibility, you can fail beg forgiveness and go do the same thing over and over. That is not grace that is a lack of knowledge for living. Grace is a lifestyle, you live by the life of another. Law is a life trying to please God, you have heard those that say "I am what I am because God made me this way." They will stay in the schoolhouse until they learn different. No one is exempt from their training and molding into the son they are. Just because you don't understand something does not mean your father is going to pass you up. Ignorance is no excuse and that is how we learn, the father's schoolhouse. When you exhaust all your knowledge of how living is supposed to work and realize there is more to life than what I know, you are on the right road.
Admitting there may be something I don't know. That is a leap for a believer because we do not voluntarily give up our old identity. We come to and end of self and start asking what it is the father wants. Your belief system will be your down fall, what you think makes no difference to a father that is moving his child into understanding for living. Religion will have you doing to be but it will be your father that moves you into the knowledge of who you are because of who you are. That sounds so simple and it can be when you understand your father's training. But usally it will be the hardest thing you will ever do as a Christian, giving up what makes you a you and living what you know now to be the father's way, Christ in you the hope of glory. That is a different lifestyle that has to be taught, no man teach it it only comes by Holyspirit taught knowledge Paul called revelation.
well human nature has nothing to do with the Lord God's nature. simple as that. the two are separate hence man's separation from his Maker. the fist son of man killed his younger brother of whom the Lord said:
Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
and Cain's response after the act "Am I my brother's keeper?"
look at the leaders through out history and what they are willing and able to do to people or even corporate giants for that matter.
those given charge of their fellow man, and the affairs of man, don't see that they are their brother's keeper. this is not to say the poor and the command man don't have the same nature, its to show that the nature is the same as Cain's.
note that this is the nature of the flesh, flesh justifies its right to what is his and is hostel to keep it. and in man its mostly about what is perceived as his, or his right to have, according to his own judgement of course.
look at man's response to Jesus in the world, they were hostel. look at the world's behavior to the Jews in the world (God's people) do you know that through out Europe as far back 1700's governments, politics and age of enlightenment circles argued and debated the "Jewish question" or "Jewish problem" which is why Germany's response was called the "final solution". now the act of reinstating the Jewish state of Israel has been treated as an act of war.
what is in the dark is, what is man's purpose. God gave man His place in the earth (Jesus demonstrating how that is executed) and man is God's place in the earth. note the inner dwelling of the Spirit. its basically man's purpose to execute God's Judgements in the earth as angels do in Heaven. and again God's Judgement is Life man's is otherwise, and is hostel to the threat that God might take what is His.
