wattie is on the right path
Default Re: correct my summary

Also remember the verses where the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are doing the same thing at the same time.. there are many verses like that in the bible. For example:

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

becomes:

Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

and as well as this:

Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - reference to Jesus

there are many more which have Jesus.. the Holy Spirit and the Father either doing the same thing.. or switching roles to do eachother's jobs

So this leads me to believe they are not as distinct as many believe.

But ya.. one being-- God in 3 persons.. I believe.. just the distinction between the persons gets fuzzed alot in the bible.. so I prefer to think them as expressions of God rather than distinct seperate beings.
