You still cannot reconcile the three persons present at Jesus baptism as being only one person without claiming Jesus was a ventriloquist.

first thanks for the reply, second, U said, "the words ‘God is love’ have no real meaning unless God contains at least two Persons".

NOT TWO PERSONS, but another of the SAME PERSON, this is what "DIVERSITY" all about... ANOTHER of oneself....... (smile)
Love in scripture = loving others as your own self = God is more than one person = scripture reveals three persons sharing their love eternally.

Try telling the cashier your lettuce morphed into your celery, and that morphed into your box of cereal at the checkout, and you are paying only for one item.

God reveals the one Divine Spirit as having three persons bound in love for each other eternally. Love cannot exists without another to treat as your equal. That's the biblical definition.

James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:6 "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:7 "For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
James 1:8 "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

This is meaningless unless you explain your angle.

Richard of St. Victor, a 12th century Scottish theologian ministering in France, put it like this:

One never says that someone properly possesses love if he only loves himself; for it to be true love, it must go out towards another. Consequently, where a plurality of persons is lacking, it is impossible for there to be love. (De Trinitate, III.2) Justin Taylor

God is love.

Obviously you are having a hard time understanding the DIFFERENCE...

Between "IS" Love. Which is NOT an action.

And

LOVING. Which is an ACTION.

And scripture defines love as loving others as your own self. So this proves more than one person in the eternal (unchangeable) Godhead.

No. It simply proves you do not comprehend the difference between GOD "IS" LOVE and God TEACHING men to ACT..."LOVING" toward others.

You might know what you mean but it is unintelligible to me unless you state clearly what you mean by it. Are you saying God is crazy?

Love in the NT = treating others as your equal. It takes more than one person before love exists.

You fabricated another false doctrine and tried to push it of giving it a respectable name.

Interesting.
You fabricate nonsense, and then try to push it off as believable, simply by calling others names.

What is wrong with you, to ask such a ridiculous question?
Did you read CRAZY in any TEXT, except your own?

Ask God...Ask in the spirit.

Are you looking for someone to give you a LIST of WHAT to ASK God?

Why are you trying to COMPARE God who IS Love, to men who God is teaching HOW to BE "Loving" ?

God IS LOVE...His "creations" did not "MAKE" God LOVE. God IS Love.

God is love = love between persons throughout the bible. One person = absence of love.

Your doctrine is heresy according to scripture. And exhibits the spirit of Antichrist in your denial of both the Father AND the Son.

Forbid it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all

Isaac Watts
