It all depends on how you concieve it. Three Gods in one form would be wrong. One God in three forms is correct. See what I mean?

Sounds like "someone" is a modalist, possibly UPC. That's One God, appearing in three different manifestations or modes of operation, but never simultaneously. One God, 3 persons (Father, Son, Holy Ghost), co-existing eternally, equal in divinity and power, separate in function.

Title: Re:trinity Post by: asaph on April 01, 2005, 03:58:42 AM is the trinity three in one or one in three? Matthew 28:19 speaks clearly of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, if you read this verse carefully, you will see that the Three have just one name. It says, “Baptizing them into the name [not names] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” There are Three with one name. This is the Triune God, the Trinity. How can we explain this? We cannot.There is one God but He is triune in His very essence. I think 3 in 1 or 1 in 3 is too simplistic. Neither ideas really describe God. God is complex. He is Father , Son, and Holy Spirit. We cannot understand but we can enjoy. If we have the Spirit we also have the Father and Son. If we have any one we have the triune God. God is one. God said "let us make man..." Notice "us". God is love. Love is without meaning unless there is an object to love. God has always been love before creation. What was His object to love. The answer lies within Himself. He is triune. The Father loves the Son and visa versa. The Spirit loves the Son and Father and so on. The love of God was poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. To love God is to enjoy Him! asaph Title: Re:trinity Post by: asaph on April 02, 2005, 03:30:12 AM is the trinity three in one or one in three?
