Curious Christian
Thank you for reply,but I need to know more.I am intrest in understanding not proving it is correct or not.
From your reply I understand that:
You believe in one God and this God is Juses.
You call him the father because He has a son,who is this son?
Also you call him the son because He has a father,who is this father?
I am still intrest in understanding what the following words mean to you(with respect to this God):the word,the lord,the spirit and the co-creator.
<b>You believe in one God and this God is Juses. </b>
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic <i>(catholic meaning unverisal not necessarily Roman Catholic)</i> church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
<b>You call him the father because He has a son,who is this son?</b>
In John 3:16 we read that God, because he loved the world so much, gave his only begotten son who knew no sin to take punishment for sin on our behalf so that we may have everlasting life. That son is Jesus. Fully man and fully God. In addition believers are also known as sons of God throughout scripture.
<b>Also you call him the son because He has a father,who is this father?</b>
The father of course is God. The Father is also the son is also the Holy Spirit. As literal as it sounds "God in Three Persons."
<b>the word,the lord,the spirit and the co-creator.</b>
<b>the word.</b> As I posted above from John 1:1...In the beginning the was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
<b>the lord</b> The Lord is Christ, God and the Holy Spirit. The word "Lord" is used to describe both God the Father and Jesus with the Bible.
<b>the spirit </b> Again the sprit of God is God. We learn about the nature of the sprit throughout scripture.
Mathew 14
<i>16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.</i>
25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
<b>co-creator.</b> Jesus, since He is God. Is the Creator.
