Living Paradox

Psalms 8:4 KJV

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Genesis 1:26-27 King James Version (KJV)

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


We are created in the image of God which is the Godhead (God the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit)   As He is so are We possessing a Body, Soul, and Spirit.

Please read my Godhead Blog  below the following scripture. 


2 Corinthians 4:7

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”

King James Version (KJV)









TRINITY


As defined by the Vatican as 3 distinct complete persons represented in 1 God. We also by careful observation which I explain in my Blog understanding Mark 13:32 that the Vatican exposes itself to inconsistency, contradiction, heresy and hypocrisy because of its own admission in part with even mentions Godhead and supports the scriptures role of the Holy Spirit's function.

Let’s take the egg and make a literal comparison to trinity doctrine. This one egg is actually three separate complete fully developed eggs residing inside the same egg. Are you confused yet? Can we see why Atheists and other religions especially Islam would be so outraged at so called Christians worshiping a polytheistic pagan religion of 3 separate gods that are really in 1 god. Note: please read my Blog depicting this issue:
Why a Muslim Scholar Mohammed Hijab defeated Dr. Woods in the debate of Trinity vs Tawhid 


MODALISM



As defined by Philosophy and used by detractors of the Biblical Godhead use this definition: Modalism comes from the word "mode" a philosophical approach pinned to John Locke (father of liberalism) in 1677 as "a state of being possessing certain attributes that do not belong to its essence. 

Let’s take the egg and make a literal comparison to Modalism: This one egg is actually composed of three things: 1 Diesel Engine - 1 Hummingbird - 1 Dandelion ; But it is all actually an egg.



GODHEAD



As defined by the Bible King James Version God head is 1 God in three parts, functions as follows: God the Father (God’s soul); The Son of God (The image of God); The Holy Spirit (Ghost) (The spirit of God).



Let’s take the egg and make a literal comparison to Godhead: This one egg is actually an egg. This egg has 3 distinct parts that comprise the egg and make the egg, qualify the egg as an egg. 1 Egg visible by its shell, outside body - 1 egg yolk (yellow internal part) inside the Egg that is invisible but certainly is there - 1 white substance surrounding the yolk that is rich in protein and fat within the egg that is invisible but certainly there.



Since there are no scriptures to support the pagan trinity doctrine or modalism we will show Bible scripture to support the godhead: To best understand Godhead we should start with the beginning at creation in Genesis 1:26, 27 as follows:



Genesis 1:26-27 King James Version (KJV)


26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.


27 So God created in the image of man in his own image,God created he him; male and female created he them.


The singular God - the one God said let *US* (1st person pronoun plural = we in the first person pronoun) make man (singular man: Adam) in OUR (1st person plural possessive pronoun) image (like manner in all aspects. He created Adam and then from Adam he created Eve. Genesis 2:21. But focusing on the creation of man, we can clearly see that 1 God is referring to himself as plural and later in scripture we see the plural is the Godhead which is God in 3 parts. So we know from the beginning that God is talking to himself as in distinct parts of himself as follows: The invisible God in the image of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15, 2:8,9) - as Jesus Christ literally talking to his soul who is the invisible God the Father, Genesis 2:7 - living soul - Life, giver of life 1 Corinthians 8:6 . God the Father “OF” whom are all things meaning all things are literally brought to life. (For a full understanding of the meaning of the word OF in its fullest sense please see my Blog on Of the World vs In the World) ; Resurrection Isaiah 26:19, Romans 8:11, 10:9; 1 Corinthians 6:14; Galatians 2:20, John 14:6-21;Ephesians 1:17-20... etc,  and is witnessed by the Holy Spirit abiding in him ( John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 2:10; John 5:6-8; etc... ). Residing in them both refers to the third part - the Holy Spirit - bearing witness to both the body and the soul of God. Pagan Trinity doctrine would have people to believe in the absurdity of a god sitting in heaven as 3 different personas gods having a conversation.


I’ve been mocked by saying that Godhead is God in the image of Jesus Christ in body is sitting there talking to himself. Especially trying to harmonize that with Ephesians 1:20. But then, I ask you to harmonize Ephesians 1:20 with Ephesians 2:6. How about Psalms 119:10,11: Romans 10:8...
Yes, here’s a perfect example: Ask yourself honestly this question: When have you asked yourself a question either mentally or out loud? When have you made a statement “to yourself”? If you’re honest you’ll admit that it is often and it “always” regards the function of your soul (your mind, memory, emotion, volition, will, purpose and intent of your heart from either experience or spiritual intuition or conscience) either reminding yourself to either do, perform, remember or follow something from the very critical of your very survival down to the mundane minuscule of your life.

Yes we talk to ourselves constantly. Do we who are saved talk to God? Absolutely and are commanded to do so continually and constantly without ceasing:   .>  "Pray without ceasing" 1 Thessalonians 5:17... Note this is a command: Also look at Daniel and David and all the Saints, they were continually in prayer speaking and talking to God almighty.  Philippians 4:6-7 tells us to have peace in our lives we must pray and talk to God, sharing with him our needs...  How do we talk to God? How do we talk to God continuously?  Certainly not walking around all day blabbering to ourselves out-loud, but in continual mental prayer to God in our hearts. We can and often do and should pray out loud, but often it's silent. Many believe they have to go to a church building or have someone pray for them or read prayers prepared for them.  To pray we talk to God through our mouth and heart as prompted by our comforter the Holy Spirit. Amen!  We do not pray thinking of our carnal body but God within our hearts as we know the Holy Spirit resides in our heart and bears witness of same. See the warning Jesus gave about praying without being sincere. Matthew 6:5. Amen!

If you still doubt what I'm writing here, Please email me at vietrandy@gmail.com and I will send you a graphic video of a woman who mixing profanity (doubt she's saved but only God knows Romans 2) is literally calling on God over ten times as fire embers are raining down on-top of her car.  Do you think this woman is talking to herself?  No in her heart she knows she may die and is calling on God to help her.  How about the airline tragedy of Lion Airlines when the recording shows these poor Muslims knowing they are going to die calling on Allah. 

Why does the word of God tell us that the word of God is in our mouth : 
In Romans 10:6-8 Paul said, "But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.  Notice what God said in Isaiah 55:11, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." 

Note: For the regenerated person; i.e. born again, the Holy Spirit has regenerated our spirit to live and have communion with the Holy Spirit of God upon our acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Savior. For the unregenerated person; i.e. unsaved, their spirit is still operational in the conscience and intuition functions but the communion function is sadly in the darkened forces of the spiritual realm, satanic influence and not the Holy Spirit.


Here are few verses that prove a regenerated person is in fact in heaven and operating on earth the same way Jesus Christ operated in this earth as God incarnate. (Ephesians 2:6: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Other verses of scripture include: Ephesians 1:3, 20; Colossians 2:12, etc…)


If God were 3 persons in one body we as human beings would be also ---- if you can image that absurdity for a moment --- or 3 of us walking around. But we are 1 body (as Jesus was as our kinsman redeemer) we possess an invisible soul (our mind, will, desire and emotions ) and we also possess an invisible spirit (conscience, intuition and communion ).


Also how could it have been possible for Jesus Christ on earth to have had been continually talking to and receiving direction and authority to speak with God the Father and at the same time kept referring to himself as being the same as God the Father? He was demonstrating how the God ordained body operates and moves and speaks by God The Father soul abiding in the power and witness of the Holy Spirit. Scripture references as example are as follows: John 12:45-49, Philippians 2:7; Zechariah 3:8; Isaiah 42:1, etc...

Please observe: Luke 4:17-21: Jesus opened the book and read from Isaiah(61): "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." When Jesus finished reading he sat down and said, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."

The best scripture evidence is found in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. This scripture is the exact paradigm Jesus Christ was referring to as Paul experienced.  This proves our existence in 3 parts and proving the body - mouth is not allowed to or have human knowledge of what the spirit knows and the soul has been told but the human mind cannot understand and has not knowledge of and authority to utter or comprehend.  (For a deep study on the Spirit, Soul, and Body based on solid scripture evidence please read the 1968 Edition of Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee. Later editions have been perverted and corrupted by the new publisher) Why? Because probably it is beyond all human scope of comprehension of our physical world of time and space.  In 2 Corinthians Paul refers to himself in 3rd person. This is not to prevent bragging as many bible scholars proclaim, but rather in truth Paul is giving us the perfect paradigm of the spirit operating through the soul apart from human operation of the body. Paul is proving an event of himself in the 3rd heaven, not knowing whether he was operating in his animated body or in the spirit, but was forbidden to speak of it, implying his human form would not be allowed or have knowledge of same. We know Paul was living outside the realm of this current realm and it was far beyond anything this realm can comprehend. We know his human body was most likely dead at that moment following a stoning in Lystra where we was dragged out of the city and left for dead in Acts 14:19-28. 

This is the same paradigm Jesus Christ was observing in Mark 13:32 whereby the human mouth was not allowed to speak or have knowledge of what the soul knows through the Holy Spirit. Study Watchman Nee’s biblical based study on how the mind understands but only the Spirit knows and in perfect harmony instructs the mind on what to understand (The Spiritual Man 1968 Edition).

Interesting this is also the same verse critics especially Muslims and Atheists use against Christians to challenge the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Here are scripture evidence of the Godhead:


Romans 1:20 King James Version (KJV)

.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:


For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:


How can a true Christian say Trinity and harmonize Trinity with Ephesians 4:4-6?..:



"4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all,and through all, and in you all.


Godhead is found in the KJV Bible. Trinity is not. Godhead is 1 God in 3 parts (each belonging to its essence of divinity) God the Father (God's SOUL). The Son of God (God's image). The Holy Spirit (God's Spirit).


The word of God is sharper than any 2 edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT. and the joints and marrow.......etc." We are talking about only God's word can divide man's soul (where reside will, emotions, desire and philosophical values known by mankind's tradition ) from his spirit man (where resides our communion with the Holy Spirit in the regenerated man. conscience in all mankind and intuition in all mankind but highly functional in truth for the regenerated man.)... Trinity and Modalism are pagan heretical teaching stemming from the Vatican infiltrating the Protestant body of Christ bringing with it. Trinity was offered as the Thesis, Modalism (Philosophy of J. Locke 1677) the Antithesis. The synthesis is waiting in the hands of the Antichrist Beast system soon coming. But The Bible KJV correctly teaches the Godhead. 1 God as follows:


Colossians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)


8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.


Colossians 1:11-22 King James Version (KJV)

11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

his would certainly be heretical to define the BIBLICAL doctrine of Godhead - Genesis 1:26, 27, 2:7; Colossians 1:15; 2:8-9; 1John 5:7; Acts17:29; Hebrews 1:1-8; Thessalonians 5:23, etc. as Modalism. Trinity is also heretical as it represents the pagan concept of polytheism, 3 distinct gods, persons (person is defined as a complete being possessing body, soul and spirit) each possessing divine attributes.

Hebrews 1:1-10 King James Version (KJV)


1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Jesus Christ on earth came as a servant in body form by the will of God invisible to save lost souls from eternal death. Look at this: 

Romans 1:17-22 King James Version (KJV)


17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Compare this with Isaiah 53:
53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lordhath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of theLord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
For this reason God sent his only begotten son earth. Meaning this. The one true God gave of himself freely to us of himself in human flesh for this purpose: Romans 3:21-26 King James Version (KJV)


21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. End Quote.
After the end of this age when believers are with God we will not see 3 gods running around - but rather 1. Revelation Chapter 22. Currently the one true God operates in 3 parts not distinct persons.

1 John 5:7: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
