    Oh my goodness, you are impossible. This whole thread is about what can be demonstrated with explicit statement from scripture. Take your two God Head Person's yada yada yada over to some Junior High School. Good grief

    You'll be arguing against the brick wall from this point on. One reason is you don't know how to abide by the rules of the conversation

    You should probably be excused from the conversation at this point. I don't think there's anything you're able to learn or contribute

    Romans 1:20, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse"

    θειότης=Divine Nature

    In Isaiah 9:6, One of the Names of Jesus Christ, is "’êl Gibbôr", which is MIGHTY GOD. In Isaiah 10:21, Yahweh is also called, "’êl Gibbôr", MIGHTY GOD

    We have TWO Who are EQUALLY MIGHTY GOD.

    Even the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses, reads Mighty God in both places!

    Get your head around this! :Biggrin

    The truth of the distinct Persons is simple. That each of the said Persons in places in Scripture can be identified to be God is not in dispute. You could point out one at a time what you find to be a difficulty.

    All you have to do is to apply this Truth to 1 John 5.7 and you will no longer have problems with the passage :Whistling

    It gets tricky when dealing with this topic because there are so many views.

    Calvinism, for example, teaches that the Son is inferior to the Father as He took humanity upon Himself - there was no "persons" of the Trinity until the Incarnation. (See John Calvin's commentary on Corinthians).

    NO, we see One eternal Being, or is Himself 3 Persons!

    You are holding to Jesus and the Holy Spirit not being fully God themselves, correct?

    That is NOT what any Calvinists holds to here, as we would hold that Jesus is very God of very God, but that he agreed to humble Himself and to be in subordination to the Father while here on earth!

    Jesus is a Person, who is both fully God and Human!

    So then you cannot define ONE Person as a distinct being and then claim there are THREE Persons. That would make three distinct beings. Maybe you don't understand English. I'm just trying to help you out with that one
