Mark 12:29

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

i have no idea where people come up with such things.
How many times did Jesus say He and the Father are one? I dont understand why you cant make this connection.
(Other than you dont want to)

Is the Spirit of God its own independent being separate from God?

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1 Tim 3:16

how many times did Jesus teach believers are one with Him (the Son).

what about the word "one", whats that word mean?
The english word for one means one, you also have the Hebrew word "elohim" used for God over 2500 times in the OT which is a plural word.

For you does the Father, the Son and the Spirit all being God in Scripture and all three being revealed as God at the same time they are all eternal, does that mean there are three Gods?


All three are involved in our salvation as they are in Hebrews 9:14, so are there three Gods or one?

How does Jesus offer Himself to the Father through the eternal Spirit if they do not exsist at the same time and all are revealed as God in Scripture,
again is there three Gods?

Hebrews 9:14 "how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"


I Peter 1:2 "elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:"
