Jesus the Ordinal First, and Jesus the Ordinal Last. (the SAME person who is the Spirit, God).
101G can see why many are deceived into thinking or believing in three persons in the Godhead. the titles, are there in the bible, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost/Spirit. 101G once believe the same deception. because 101G was taught it also. but there come a point in time when things just don't add up, and the questions has to be answered. is what I believe is really TRUE and correct according to the BIBLE.
When one gets honest in his or her beliefs then that question will come up. so, what is there to DO? A. stay on track in being HONEST with oneself. B. ask God for the TRUTH, in spirit. and let him TEACH you.
change is a hard thing to do, but when done, Oh the benefits of FREEDOMS.
let's compare scriptures and let God teach us.
the first two scriptures.
A. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.". it has been said, "if you want to end up EIGHT, get it correct from the "beginning" and this we will do.
the term "beginning" here in the verse id the Hebrew word,
H7225 רֵאשִׁית re'shiyth (ray-sheeth') n-f.
1. the first, in place, time, order or rank.
2. (specifically) a firstfruit.
[from the same as H7218]
KJV: beginning, chief(-est), first(-fruits, part, time), principal thing.
Root(s): H7218
here Genesis 1:1 set the standard; God is the "First" of himself revealed in the creation account. and this revealing in in ORDINAL designations, as FIRST meaning as "LORD". ............ and LAST as "Lord", which is to come. this is proved out in
B. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"
this ONE "LORD" is expressed in Ordinal designation. for the Hebrew term "ONE" means,
H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258
definition #2. is the correct answer. for it answer, God "IN THE BEGINNING" in Genesis 1:1 as "LORD", or "FIRST" in, place, time, order or rank. First in place, first in time, first in order, and first in rank.
these definitions set the stage to understand that God is the "DIVERSITY" or the "ANOTHER", of himself in flesh to come, just as Genesis 1:26 & 27 states.
now the floor is open to debate.
