One God
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters....” (Genesis 1:1, 3)
“God is spirit…” (John 4:24)
I think of POWER when I read the word “Spirit” in the Bible. And when I read the words “Holy Spirit” I think of God's omnipotent POWER. Power flows from the generator of that power, it is NOT the generator itself. Think of an electric generator. You turn it on and power flows out of it to provide the energy to turn on the lights.
God is both the generator and the power flowing from it to create all things. In that sense only is the Holy Spirit God.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God...the Word became flesh...No one has seen God at any time; the ONLY BEGOTTEN GOD who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him...Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him...” (John 1:1-18; 1 John 4:15)
Jesus is the Word of God, the express image of God, the Son of God...Jesus is the one who explains to us what God is like...in that sense only is Jesus God. And after the resurrection all those who are reconciled, justified, saved and glorified will be GODlike...Jesus prayed for it to be so...
“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as we are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.” (John 17:20-26)
The phrase “trinity” is not is the Bible. There is no such message in the Bible about three persons who are at the same time one person (which defies logic). There is only one God out of whom comes all things, beginning with the Son...
“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things....there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came...the Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation” (Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Colossians 1:15)
This is not rocket science, just a matter of reading the Bible and believing what it says, and rejecting any teaching from men which contradicts what God says.
