In Portuguese: Translate please.

No principio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus.
Deus aqui é o Pai, certo?
No principio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com o Pai, e o VERBO ERA O PAI!!!

Trinity!!! i think if we read John gospel carefully we will see the word “one ” mentioned so many time,often followed by the phrase “He in me and I in Him” (paraphrased a little there).

I think the term trinity is a little confusing and perhaps taken out of context slightly. My take is that God is one,absolutely, however there, are perhaps many facets to this being we call God. There is the conundrum of how Christ could be God and man at the same time.

Theres also another rather hard to understand statement that we are all one with God.even as Christ is one.Now i know Jesus prayed that we “may ” be one even as He was one, im just assuming that Hes had that prayer answered…after all, Hes God isnt He.

So how can we be 6.6 billion seemingly indvidual spirits and yet be ONE SPIRIT, and one with the Father?

Now thats a mystery for sure.

Hi RobertH,

I don’t get your argument regarding the Word becoming flesh. God can speak anything into existence… So what point are you trying to make?

Also, the Bible does not show the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as three separate persons. The Bible says “The LORD our God, the LORD is one!” but it never ever says He’s three in one or one yet three or any variation thereof. Show me the Scripture that says otherwise and I’ll then say what “this means”.

Please have a deep read of 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:6 and 1 John 3:1-8 with a teachable spirit.

Cassidy – yes, as I said in the beginning teaching, “The term trinity is not mentioned in the bible. It was first used in the second century to describe the Godhead, which is a biblical term (Colossians 2:9 and Romans 1:20). So “trinity” is merely another word to describe the Godhead.” I actually prefer using the term Godhead, since it is used in scripture. Read the above scripture.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:8

The doctrine of the trinity is human tradition born out of a blend of Greek philosophy and uninspired church leadership who were under pressure from Constantine to bring unity to his state controlled church.

Hi Truthseeker,

John 1:1 & John 1:14 indeed say that Jesus is God and that the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus is the Word made flesh. The first 18 verses make this rather clear. It doesn’t matter if we do not know how the Word became flesh, but that is what the Bible clearly says. I mean, you don’t really even know how God does a lot of what He does, do you? So to say that because you don’t know how the Word can become flesh doesn’t mean it cannot be done!

If the Biblical data shows that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate persons, that each are God, and that there is only one God, what do you say this means?

Truthseeker – As I said before, I am not going to have an endless debate with you.The point is, Jesus is God incarnate and there’s no salvation apart form Him (Acts 4:12). I’m ending this now. If you want to talk further, you can reach me through our “contact us” or leave your email.
