THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 366

Is there a trinity of persons in the Godhead? Good question. The answer is this. There is only a trinity of persons IF one were to believe the church fathers teachings of 300/400 AD. Of course, if one were to tell a lie often enough, it could quite easily be misconstrued as being truth. And subsequently, given enough time the error becomes so established that it is presented as being the real thing - now commonly asserted as being the authoritative voice of God.

However, there is another voice from the distant past that we also need to be aware of. Without this voice, the church fathers would never be held accountable for their misrepresentation of the original scriptures which had been delivered and confirmed by God in Christ to mankind. It is for this reason that the scriptural voice from the past must be extinguished and replaced by the truth. These hireling church fathers cannot continue to proclaim that God is three distinct and separate persons in one God.

Why? Because there is only one God. We worship the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our souls, mind, and strength. It is in Him alone that we serve. Serve who? Serve our God who is Spirit. In fact, God is the Father of all spirits. We also are spirit. Without a body I cannot see you and neither can you see me. Moreover, God has clothed our spirit with a body. We within our body has an opportunity to express the life of our indwelling spirit, manifesting our spirit lives through our bodies.

God who is Spirit clothed His Spirit in flesh. God in so doing manifested Himself, revealing numerous untold hidden mysteries. Hidden treasures. We see the Spirit of God in the face of the man JESUS the Christ. The Spirit within the man Christ endeavouring to reconcile the world back to Himself regardless of costs and discomforts -- even to the laying down of His own sinless flesh (yet His flesh was prone to sin) as a sacrificial offering.

Now if God who is one Spirit was in the man JESUS, why is it that the religious and institutional systems of our world attempt to reach beyond JESUS to find God? They do so even when God has said that anyone that has the Son has the Father also. God is Spirit. And it has pleased the holy Spirit the Father of the man JESUS the Christ, that in JESUS should all the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily. So if all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in JESUS, then surely one ought to look no further. Remember when JESUS said to Phillip, "Phillip if you have seen Me you have seen the Father. Why are you saying that I should show you the Father and then you would be satisfied."

Does not nature itself teach us that we are all sons or daughters, housing our spirit son or daughter bodies. Similarly, we father and mother offspring in our sons and daughters bodies. We are then proclaimed to be fathers or mothers whilst remaining in visible son or daughter bodies. We converse one with another in spirit whilst in our son or daughter bodies. Now using this example, are we in all honesty three persons? Or are we three manifestations of the one spirit life that dwells within?

If you understand this analogy, then indeed you also embrace that we are one spirit, manifesting spirit life within a body as a son or daughter, father or mother and male or female spirit. A one spirit person in total. Further, if I should have the opportunity to know you in all three manifestations, then I should be able to say that I really do know you.

Remember, it is God as a Son who rules and reigns over His own household. We now know God [JESUS] who is one Spirit dwelling in a Son's body manifested as a Son, Father, and Spirit. One God only. Not three!
