I already told you he has two natures. As God, he knew the time of his second coming. As man, he did not know the time of his second coming. I hope this is not rude, but I am wondering if you belong to an organization that denies the Trinity or the deity of Christ. I know that there are many...

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three distinct Persons. However, they are co-essential. They share the same essence. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit dwells in a man, then in essence, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are indwelling this person through the mediation of the Holy Spirit. This...

He didn't attempt to refuse the cup. He asked whether there was another way. It was the will of the Son to please the Father, and that was his ultimate will. The exact nature of the Incarnation and the Triune God relating to this question is not something I can state with authority. It is...

Subordination is in terms of role, not essence. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exhibit subordination of role, but there is only one Being or Essence. Therefore, they are co-equal and co-essential. There is a difference between subordination of role, and subordination of essence. From...

Many Christians believe the first seven ecumenical councils and their creeds are sound. I don't agree with every single comment regarding all seven ecumenical councils, but many Christians use these first seven as their standard.

Yes, the one Spirit (essence, being) has three minds, if you want to phrase it that way. When I say "one Spirit" I am speaking distinctly about the Triune God, not just the Person of the Holy Spirit. That must be understood.

Like I said, Jesus is both God and man. The two natures did not always communicate with each other. So, as a man, he could certainly say that he did not know the time of the second coming. Regarding the will of Jesus, as a man he was totally dependent on the Father, and he had a will that...

The Son had two different natures. He was fully God and fully man. These two natures are "connected" via the hypostatic union. As God, the Son was omniscient, but as man, he was not. He was completely dependent upon the Father. This is a rough analogy, but suppose I moved to another...

Right..a Person has a mind and a will, and there are three Persons yet one Being (Essence). We are not accustomed to using the word "being" like this. Even a rock has a being, even though it has no personality. A rock's being is what a rock is made of. An individual rock is made of a lump...

The first seven councils were considered Apostolic, including the Athanasius Creed. The Apostle's Creed didn't address questions like you are asking.

There are three distinct minds and wills. Each Person has a distinct self-consciousness, mind, and will. However, they are unified so they are not in conflict with one another..in fact, they love one another. God is love by nature, and the reason is because God is community within one Being.

One being, in the case of God, has three persons. They are three distinct minds and will, but unified in terms of purpose. The Father doesn't work against the Son, and the Holy Spirit does not work against the Father, etcetera. They are unified in their purpose.

The Apostle's Creed is much simpler and earlier. Athanasius Creed came later and has more details about your specific questions I think.

God is a multi-personal being...that means three persons occupy one being. The word "being" does not mean "person". It can mean that in the human realm, but not in terms of God. "Being" means essence or the composition of something. "Being" has to do with "what". "Person" has to do with...

Here is the Athanasius creed which addresses some of the topics you mentioned. Be aware that I do not think that a person loses their salvation if they don't understand teachings about the Trinity..it is only if they have been properly instructed and reject it. As an example, I was part of a...

This is the Westminster Larger Catechism. It is a Presbyterian catechism, so there would be some points of difference with me. But, it is a good reference anyways, and it has Scripture proofs. The big point of disagreement would be infant baptism, again. https://opc.org/documents/LCLayout.pdf

The Triune God doesn't have a body. Here's the reasoning on this...God is immutable. That means he has never changed. He did not change during the Incarnation either. However, a new nature was added to the Second Person of the Triune God. He became fully man. This new nature did not...

You might try this first.. This is the Heidelberg Catechism. Catechisms are lists of questions, mostly for young people, which explain key teachings of the Bible. This one provides Scriptural references. It is a Reformed catechism, so it is likely that baby baptism will be mentioned, but you...

If you have a cell phone that can download the Amazon Kindle app, I could also instruct you how to get them on this app for free.

I can give you links to them. Actually if you wanted some materials I could mail them to you but not until after Covid 19.
