“'The Lord [GOD] said to my Lord [Jesus]: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.””(Mark 12:36)

Just a little emphasis to what I pulled up earlier.

When it says 'let us make man in our image' do you think thats in the physical image or spiritual? I believe its Spiritual image

Yeah, the living spirit of Love. When faced with ethical dilemmas we choose love, even at the expense of ourselves, as the great teacher taught us when He came in the flesh.

Bless you and good night.

Im not a Trinitarian myself I believe in God the Father and then the Son The Holy Spirit but one thing I thought Trinitarians believe is that God The Father actually left Heaven and came down here in the form of Jesus? So it was God the Father who died…is this correct?

Revelation 21 speaks of the Father (God) and Jesus (Lamb) living together with man on the newly reformed earth.

Jesus was in the beginning, because “The beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)”
As to who he is, I don't know as mentioned earlier, No one knows who the son is.

The only thing that matters now is that everyone adopt one mentality (John 17:21) of Love because God is Love, and love forgives, it does not boast, and why would it argue about something God never intended us to know.

I was raised Catholic, and was always taught that they were separate entities, but I can understand how it can be confusing and using the word YHWH (Which real meaning is lost in time but Catholicism explains it as the name of God meaning, “he who was, is and always will be.”) to help distinguish.

Thank you for welcoming me. How do you define the Trinity?

“David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “'The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.””(Mark 12:36)

Pentecost is the Day the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles as a red cloud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost. All the prophets, Saints and the Elect, had and have the Holy Spirit.

Also, “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” Unless you are the Father, Son, or No one, you don't know if Jesus is God, a God in the beginning with Father, “Let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26), or Michael the Archangel. Just leave it as a mystery, because we wont know the answer to until we see Jesus return in all His Glory.

I still can't figure out the debate on the Trinity. Why do some people think it means Jesus is God? Aside from Jesus being the word made flesh, and the word was God (John 1) The trinity is defined as 3 distinct entities–Father (Creator and Provider), Son (1st Paraclete), and Holy Spirit (2nd Paraclete (John 14:16))–working in perfect unity. The, “baptizing them in the name of the Father , and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19).” gave rise to argument between Christians and Jews. And the explanation of the trinity was created as defense to prevent Christians from being classified as polytheists (Worshiping multiple Gods or goddesses). Christians are actually Monotheists (One true God, which Christians believe.)

So if you believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are working together in perfect harmony to accomplish the goal of saving humanity, then you believe in the trinity.
