The Trinity, The Church, and 5thWatcher

The Father is God

(2 Thessalonians 1:1) Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Jesus is God

(Colossians 2:9) For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,

The Spirit is God

(Acts 5:3-4) But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

There is one God

(1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are not the same person

(Matthew 28:19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

The Father begets the Son

(Hebrews 1:5) For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"?Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?

The Spirit proceeds from the Father

(John 15:26) "But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.

[5thWatcher]

Since youtube recently lengthened the time limits for videos, the 14 minute video I created in reply to this video may actually see the light of day. I'll probably re-record it though, and also don't expect it anytime soon as I've got the next three videos planned out already, but making a reply to this is at the very least officially back on list of things I may end up doing.

@5thWatcher

Wonderful. I look forward to it. As I've grown up a bit, I have realized, however, that I was far too nasty to you in this video. Forgive me for that. When I reply to your video, I will make an effort to be more gracious.

NO ONE LIKES 5TH WATCHER

[5thWatcher]

@KabaneTheChristian I sorta got that impression, but it could have been worse. Either way, like a good Christian, I forgive you. :-P And seriously, no matter how much we disagree on the details (and this goes for everyone) never forget that we are on the same side and brothers in Christ.

The 5thwatcher was actually fun to listen to. Best apolojoker.

Seraphim had absolutely no problems to nuke him away.

This is why the Holy Apostle John writes in his first letter that "God is love." (1 John 4:16) God is an eternal communion of love, as each divine person of God has eternally loved the other two. Creation itself was an act of love, in that God's purpose was to extend His communion of love to His creatures. Thus, the goal of the Christian life is participation in the divine energies of God so that one may be united to Him in love.

@penn919

Kind of. Each divine person may rightly be called and addressed as "God", because each possesses all the attributes of deity, i.e. omniscience, omnipresence, omnibenevolence, etc. The fountain of the Trinity is God the Father. God the Spirit and God the Word both eternally participate in the essence of God the Father, and hence share in all of His attributes and thus worshiped equally.

@KabaneTheChristian

Yeah, I think I got it. So you're saying it's like one being with three distinct & independent personalities each with their own consciousness and while they aren't necessarily "Gods" in their own right, they do have all the attributes of deity.

Okay, so a proper analogy would be like multi-core processors where each core functions as a single processor but are distinct from being processors in that they operate on the same silicone die.

Did I get that right?

@penn919

When I say "God", I am not using that in the personal sense. I am saying that each divine person possesses all the attributes of deity. At the same time, I am saying that God is one being with three centers of consciousness. That is not logically contradictory, though humans are not used to a being with multiple centers of consciousness.
