verita said:The bible mentions Godhead.
Col 2:8 Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:
Col 2:9 for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
Godhead is like a family. Inside a family there are members but they are not the same.
The Godhead contains God the Father Almighty, the Son (our Lord Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit.
Mat 3:16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;
Mat 3:17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
You see, our Lord Jesus Christ is in the water, the Holy Spirit is descending like a dove, the God Almighty Father is in heaven and said This is my beloved Son (Jesus in the water), whom I am well pleased.
They are ONE because they all belong to Godhead.
God bless you.
hmmm....that doesn't quite answer my question! You simply cited scriptures and said that they are ONE because they all belong to Godhead. What do you mean ONE? do all of them put together equate to ONE GOD, or does each person equal GOD? Do you see my point? If God the Father Almighty, the Son (our Lord Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit isn't God without the other members than each person would equate to LESS than God, and if each person alone is God, then there would be 3 Gods, you see my point?
