It is not easy to explain the triune Godhead, as He is a Spirit. It would be futile to attempt a detailed analysis of His Personage. We can only accept in faith that God the Father, God the and God the Holy Spirit are three distinctly separate Persons, yet they are inseparable; therefore they are One: Heb. 11:6; Mt. 28:19; Jn. 4:24.

If the sun could represent our limited understanding of God, we could say that it consists of heat, light and the physical planet. Yet heat is not light; light is not heat, and neither can be the physical planet. One cannot separate the heat, light or the planet from one another and call that the sun.

Similarly, God the Father is not God the , nor God the Holy Spirit. Yet one cannot separate Them from One Another and believe that either One is God. Together They are the triune Godhead, the Spirit “without record of father or mother or any ancestral line, neither with beginning of days nor ending of life”: Heb. 7:3.

The Spirit is not an impersonal, electrical force either, but a Person. He can speak, send out His workers, convince us of the truth and of our spiritual condition, build His church, lead us, give us gifts; teach His truth, testify to our salvation, adopt us and comfort us. We can lie to Him, quench His work and blaspheme against Him: Acts. 13:2-3; Jn. 14: 26; 16-14; Rom. 8:14-16; Lu. 12:10; Acts 5:3; 1 Cor. 12:4-11.

In the beginning of Genesis, the Godhead “created the earth, and the Spirit of God was moving over the… waters.” And our triune Creator said: “Let Us, [Father, and Holy Spirit], make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness…” – Gen. 1:1-2, 26.

Jesus Christ the of God is neither an ordinary prophet nor an angel. Jesus is God Himself. He merely took on human form and became a complete man for the purpose of humankind’s redemption and salvation.

John stated in 1:1 that “in the beginning, before all time, was the Word, which is Jesus Christ, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being.”

During the Old Testament age Lord Jehovah, [‘El ‘Elyon, YHWH], spoke to Old Israel through His prophets, but in the New Testament age, God the Father “has spoken to us in the Person of His , Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also through Whom He created the worlds, [spiritual- and physical worlds], and the reaches of space and the ages of time. Jesus is the sole, [physical], expression of the glory of God, [because He became a complete human being without laying down His divinity], upholding, maintaining and guiding the universe by His mighty word of power.

“To which of the angels did God ever say: You are my [incarnated] ? Let all the angels of God worship Him. But to [God] the He says: Your throne, O [Jesus] God, is forever and ever and the sceptre of Your kingdom is a sceptre of absolute righteousness… Therefore [Jesus] God, even Your Godhead, [the Father and the Holy Spirit], has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy above and beyond Your companions. You, Lord, did lay the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain permanently; they will all grow old and wear out like a garment, but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” - Heb. 1:1-14; Phil. 2:6-11

For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2 vs 9
For in Him dwelleth - That is, this was the great and central doctrine that was to be maintained about Christ, that all the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in Him. That ALL the fullness...Father, Son and Holy Ghost all dwell in Him...Jesus!



Live like there's no tomorrow
Laugh when you feel like crying

Elizabeth, Oneness teaching is wrong and demonic in nature.Who did Jesus pray to? Jesus also stated that the words he had were the Fathers, and not his. The miracles were the father doing them through him.
