PROVING THE TRINITY IS A BIBLICAL DOCTRINE

now, I give you this for thought- did Jesus say " I will pray the Father and He will send the Comforter ....... ", or did He say ' I will pray myself and I will send me.........?

If you believe The Father is God, and the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, why would anyone get hung up on the word Trinity? It's just a descriptive name of the tri-une nature of God.

You just did when say that Jesus was the eternal God in the flesh.

The eternal can not be created and neither can it change in nature or form. If the eternal can change in nature or form then it can be created so there really isn't logical argument against the three divine persons of the trinity each being God yet by nature are one God.

because he ( and no one else ) told them to pray in anyone's name.

I understand just fine. oneness is a lie, based on salvation by command keeping. oneness is just another disguise for legalism.

Nope.

The opposite is true- Trinity is a lie.
You are yet to show how three persons can be one being and a verse that says the father is not the son and the son is the Holy spirit.
1, 2, Go..

I think he would ask the Father and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.

Seeing that the Holy Ghost is the invisible light made in the image invisible God, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; But of course you know in thine heart, that the comforter is the LORD who is the God of truth in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

I already told you. the best and simplest is - I ( 1 ) will pray to the Father ( 2 ) and He will send the Comforter ( 3 ).

now, of course Jesus said " I and the Father are one ". he also said " my Father is greater than I ), and " in my Father's house their are many mansions ".

it's called the mystery of the Godhead. study that sometime. because it is TRUE.

I don't like it when you start arguing how you know i'm wrong and end up saying that God is a mystery. If you are convinced that God is three distinct persons then you must also show how distinct persons can be one, don't pull mystery card on me.
Yes, God is a mystery, that doesn't mean His nature is a mystery, then why is He trying to tell us who He is? so that we can get confused in mysteries?!!

well, someone has a pride problem. can't take being corrected.

well, here is another example - mount of transfiguration- God the Father comes down and says of the Son " this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. hear Him".

did the father say " hear Me " ? no. did the Father say ' Hear me through Him " no. hear HIM.

Why would anyone think God couldn't divide Himself into 3 distinct entities?

There are so many passages that deal with this I don't know where to start! GB has named some already.

But how about God the Father speaking at Jesus' Baptism? At that event we had all 3 distinct members of the Godhead present and distinct! What about at the transfiguration? Same deal.

How about Jesus saying that ONLY the Father in Heaven knew the hour and day of Jesus's second coming, that even HE didn't know!

I mean the list goes on and on.

So the classic example of 3 distinct but the same, is H2O, water. Each has their own distinct qualities, yet they are the same, yet distinct.

Water can be ice, a solid, steam, a gas, and liquid.

Yet ALL 3 are water or H2O.

How about Jesus saying that ONLY the Father in Heaven knew the hour and day of Jesus's second coming, that even HE didn't know!

I mean the list goes on and on.

Nope.
You think that these events prove your doctrine right, how about you answer this question:

Q1. Is Jesus one person and one being by himself or is He a third of a being?
Q2. Is the Father one person and one being by himself or is He a third of a being?

You blaspheme but you don't even realize.

Well, why should I answer your questions when you skipped right past the point that ALL 3 members were present AND distinct at Jesus's Baptism?

You are trying to use your 3 pound human brain and intellect to put the Creator who created your brain, and EVERYTHING else in the Universe and in Heaven, to prove what exactly?

Jesus is fully God, and fully man. The mechanics of how He accomplished that is waaay above our pay grade!

It is interesting to note that as a person begins to lose a discussion they more and more resort to attacks and name calling. I'm fully secure in the knowledge of the Lord and with the use of the Trinity. Therefore I see no need to reciprocate your behavior.

I made an argument but you chose to see my arguments as name calling. That's fine with me, never my intentions here.

I have answered the question on the baptism event maybe you didn't like the answer but i'll do it again anyway.

That event as much as it is represented physical happened in the spiritual realm. Only Jesus and John witnessed that event (heard the voice and saw the dove). It was important for John to witness because of the work he was to do. The authorities of the Father and the Holy spirit are in Jesus and there's no other way of expressing these authorities other than making it appear so to the witness who was John at this moment and Peter on the mount of transfiguration.

1. Saying that the Father is distinct because He speaks from a different physical location can not be reconciled with the fact that you also think they are one.
2. The fact that Jesus as He stood there being baptist was one person and being by himself proves your doctrine wrong- because you have to otherwise think that the Father and the Holy spirit are not beings

Umm... Newsflash! Telling someone they are blaspheming the Lord is about as serious an attack as you can level against a Christian. Ya might wanna remember that one.

As for the rest of this post, it is filled with YOUR conjecture, YOUR speculation that there weren't 3 distinct members of the Godhead present. It makes ZERO difference whether it was only John, or other limited people that saw all 3.

The WORD says there WERE 3 distinct and separate members of the Godhead present.
