Neville do you accept the first two verses of Genesis? The word 'God'
used is plural in Hebrew. Then who or what was the 'Spirit of God' that
was hovering? Is this Spirit the same as God or is it something
different from God?
Gen 1:26.
Who was the 'Us' that God was referring to when he said 'Let Us make man
etc.'
As I understand Neville you accept the Gospel of John or Magdalene as
you you would call it. So what do you understand about verse 1? John is
clearly referring to Jesus who was in the beginning and was God.
Now we have a plural God mentioned in verse 1, a Spirit of God and then
the use of the word 'US' in verse 26 and finally then Jesus in John 1:1.
The Trinity is mentioned immediately in the first two verses of Genesis
and among many other places in the Bible and Jesus' connection confirmed
by John 1:1. It is absolutely clear that God is not a 'unity God' but a
'Trinity God'.
Your insistence of slavishly using this single scripture ** "By myself I
can do nothing." to deny the Trinity in the face of the above scriptures
shows your inability to understand how God can be three distinct
persons. It is purely your inability to comprehend or willingness to
accept such a concept. In spite of your undoubted human intelligence and
human reasoning powers, they just won't stretch to comprehending the
Trinity.
May I suggest you take a look at a small A5 size book that I sent to
Steven which details almost all the references to the Trinity in the
Bible. But I imagine your let-out will be that the Bible it is just a
book of astrology, except for some bits, and therefore unworthy of
further investigation.
As an academic exercise why don't you check-out this book and see if it
does indeed prove the Trinity even though you reject the Bible itself.
If you can show me that it doesn't then I will personally re-think the
Trinity. Please don't cloud the issue with the introduction of
extra-Biblical material. The Bible has to stand or fall on this one
issue - does the Bible supports a Trinity Godhead?
