dc and smooths comments remind me one simple observation, religious folk find it hard to expand their thinking
and take on critical thinking. Shake their assumptions, and suddenly you are in a cage and thrown out.

Jesus took this to the jews, and they could not cope. Support the temple and the nation or you are a
traitor. Jesus though challenges to change, each and every day. To empathise and to love is to embrace
change and risk. In the Holy Spirit and carrying the cross, we can do this.

Imagine what God sees every day, yet manages to hold everything together and bless sinner and saint
alike. That takes real love and holiness, Praise His Holy Name.

You see almost all of us picked up on a statement, that sounded like you MAY have been someone WHO DENIES THAT JESUS IS GOD. We have had those here before, so we needed to check you out. I am happy that YOU passed the test, as long as you BELIEVE the HOLY TRINITY IS GOD. And I am happy that so many of my brothers picked up on your questionable statement, and asked you about it. Would you mind if you told us what TYPE of Church you attend. I am not asking the Name of the Church, just the TYPE, like the Denomination or the Lack of it. I attend a non-denominational, conservative, evangelical style of Church.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the church in the kingdom of God and the kingdom of God is within you?

God sees us and knows us, yet in Christ we are loved.

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Psalm 139

The biggest joke of all, is just reading Gods word written by Gods people cannot be continually
read by sinners or else they will be convicted by Gods Spirit. Little wonder ignoring and hiding
it is their only defence. :)

3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God
1 John 5

Rejoice when love comes to reign in your heart because in this King has come to you today, Amen.

How can the Holy Spirit be the Father of the son?
Is not the father the father of the son?

Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 2:7
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

LET US.

Yes you are wrong.

Father, son and Holy Spirit.

All one, three in one.
Right from the beginning of time.

That is one of the reasons he made my IGNORE LIST along with his constant DIVISIVE rhetoric.

Correct me if I am wrong but God is the Father and God is a Spirit a Holy Spirit so would that not make the Father the Holy Spirit?

You did not correct me you just validated what you believe yourself to be the truth.
