@ByJustified Jesus came as Flesh the Holy Spirit is obviously the Spirit and God is the personality and Soul as we call it and he calls it .God gave us a soul even though we cant see it we know we have one since we arent mindless dogs walking around with only a spirit(mental) and body (flesh)....so in conclusion because we are made in the Image of God we are three in one Soul,Spirit and Flesh just as God 's Trinity is.
@BailiffQuimby "Oneness" believe in a schizophrenic Jesus. Imagine a "Jesus" who talks to himself and prays to himself. This is because they do not want to understand how Yahweh can be three Persons and yet one in divine nature. Well, can a couple who's married be called "one flesh?" Please explain.
@ByJustified It's a matter of semantics. You want to be mono-theists, but also want to worship three gods. Not that it really matters. Whether you worship one god, three gods, or three gods that you call one god, there's no evidence for the existence of any of 'em. And you calling "oneness" christians "heretics" is as silly as them calling Catholics "idolators".
@ByJustified "there are three divine Persons in the Godhead: the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. "
Didn't realize you were a polytheist. At least ArtByJacy is attempting to maintain the argument that there is just one god with three aspects. You're calling them three distinct "persons". Not that either argument has any validity without evidence that a god exists...
That is belief is an ancient heresy that was expose by the early Christian leaders as Modalism or Monarchianism. They even call it Patripassianism since one proponent believe the Father suffered on the cross since He is also Jesus. This is a damnable teaching. The Bible is clear in Deuteronomy 6:4 that the Lord is one. But that does not necessarily mean the Lord is one Person because the Hebrew word does not permit us. I hope you get my point.
@ByJustified I don't want to be argumentative but did you read the scriptures at all? God has three different roles. Why? So that He may be known to us & we may know Him. Just like I am a wife, daughter and a sister, I am not three people...but I have three different titles/roles that happened at different points in my life. I go by ONE name and only one name...that name is how I am identified, just like Jesus is the ONE name that God has to identify Himself. Jesus is all three...
@ArtByJacy I know. But that doesn't make Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit. You have to understand that there are three divine Persons in the Godhead: the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
@ByJustified, scripture says that Jesus is"all the fullness of the Godhead" Col 2:6-9/John1:1-14/John 8:12/Isaiah 45:21-23/Philippians 2:10/Titus 2:13-14/1 John 5:20 & many more. Isa 46:5 God says "To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?" Yet Phil 2:5-7says that Jesus "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men"

@BailiffQuimby... Nope. That is not polytheism. That is what we call orthodox Trinitarianism as oppose to modalist heresy ("Oneness").
