I see it this way Jesus is the body, The Father is the Soul, and the Holy Ghost is the Spirit, three parts make one God. Another way Isee it is an egg is an egg as long as all three parts are together, a White. A Yoke and A shell. It takes all three to be one egg
And Water is water but has two other forms steam and ice, yet still water in differant forms.
Another way to see the trinity is take a cherry pie cut it in three distinct pieces even though there are three pieces the filling just flows right back together

Jesus, the Son, 'the word made flesh' . .the will made in man. The perfect example of human form and Godly will, and love.

God - My CREATOR. The ceaselessly intelligent, all knowing, forgiving, loving, ONE AND ONLY God.

The Holy 'Spirit'. The will of God. The attitude of God. The thought process of God. The 'Way'. The path. The ideal. The love itself.

Jesus NEVER claimed to be a conduit, but the source.

Joh 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who (jesus) it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him (Jesus), and he (Jesus) would have given thee living water.
Joh 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I (Jesus) shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I (Jesus) shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Jesus clearly told the woman to ask Him for the Living Water and that He (Jesus) would give it.

Joh 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me (Jesus), and drink.

Note the words "I give" and "Come to Me."

Just because Jesus and God can both rule the waves, does not prove either of them ever claimed the title. I know a ten-year old boy who prayed and stopped a storm.

Mar 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

1. Jesus was asleep
2. He got up
3, rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Jesus praying for this? You trying to make it say something that simply isn't there.

Psa 89:9 Thou (Jehovah) rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Jesus said "stop" and they stopped. It says the wind and sea obeyed "Jesus." Now, if you want to
continue to believe Jesus prayed to the Father, that is your choice, but it simple isn't there, for anyone
to arrive at that conclussion.

Note this verse:
Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Do you know what Jesus just said? He said, whatever the Father does, that He does also.
Now, there is only one way to do what God does, and that is to be God. He didn't say the Father
was working through Him, as if He was a conduit, but that He had the power to do it Himself.

I believe Jesus claimed to be Son of God, and no Scripture reference referring to the Old Testament can be found that prove He claimed He was "God" rather than "Son of God", because the Hebrew language does not allow for it.

Mat 22:41-45 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, (42) Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. (43) He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, (44) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? (45) If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Is Jesus the Christ or not? Yes He is. Jesus Himself asked the question. David, by the Holy Spirit,
attributed deity to the Christ. Jesus pins them down. How can the Christ be Lord and still be David's
son? Yet, that's what it says.

It depends on the language. In Greek, Latin, and English, Jesus Christ is God. In Hebrew, Yeshua HaMessiach is not Yahweh (Jehovah), or Elohim, and that's all the words they have. He is however Adonai (Lord) but that is a role, not a title specific to God. He is also Beni-haElohim, or son of God. That's why your Scriptures can be interpreted either way.

Hi Kenisye,

Something very important to remember is that most Jews in Jesus time actually used the LXX, which is of course the Greek translation of the OT... infact huge chunks of the OT quoted in the NT are from the LXX and not the Hebrew text.
