Re: [TruthTalk] Who is God?

[Dave Hansen]

How do you get Father PLUS Son PLUS Holy Ghost EQUALS ONE? DAVEH:  The same way Jesus said we could be one with them...... [Jn 17:21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. [26] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. .........I reckon when we have the same love for others as the Lord has for us, we shall become perfect in our purpose....just as they are, Kevin.

DAVEH:   I don't know if you read my posts, but fail to understand them.  Or Kevin....perhaps you don't bother reading them at all, but just skim them for the talking points.   Do you not recall me saying that I worship only one God? Take that back you have an INFINITE nuber of gods but you say you have one. That is hard to understand and hard to comprehend too. DAVEH:   I'm not sure why it is difficult to understand, Kevin.  Do you not recall the Paul saying.... [1Cor8:5] For t hough there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) .........then Paul goes on to explain..... [6] 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. ........that to us there is but one God, the Father........ [Jn 4:23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. .......and we are to worship the Father........ the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. .......and if there is any question as to the meaning, he goes on to say the Father seeketh such to worship him..  The Bible is pretty clear on this a nd makes it very simple to understand.  Once again, Kevin...this is what I believe.  If you have a problem understanding it, or comprehending it....I don't know what else to say.....other than......Perhaps the Trinity Doctrine has muddled your thinking.

As everyone here already knows, I believe God is a Trinity that is exactly why I was wondering how you would answer.   Is this that difficult to answer?   Who do you, believe to be God?
