Jesus never claimed to be the Father. In fact, he taught his followers to pray to the Father in his name. So the question begs, if he has elevated himself to the level of the Father and made a distinction between he and the Father what is being said? No matter if you think Christ is part of the Trinity or some other deity you must concede one thing and tha ...[text shortened]... hat the Bible teaches about the Trinity even though it may not refer to the word Trinity.
From the same Book of John, Please go through this :
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
Here Philip asks to show them the FATHER, and look at Jesus telling, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? Now my friend, according to your BIBLE, dont you think Jesus is the FATHER, or isn't He claiming to be the FATHER? Or may be the BIBLE is a book full of Mistakes! This was quoted from your Insipired book - King James Red Letter!
Now look at this verse :
Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Your Jesus says, HE is IN the FATHER & the FATHER IN HIM! The FATHER GOD dwelleth in Jesus!
Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Again in COL 2:9 in your Bible, it says, "The fullness of the GODHEAD bodily dwelleth in JESUS"
So this clearly means that the TRINITY is in JESUS.
And you say that there are 3 persons in the GODHEAD, so according to the verses, this will conclude that each person in TRINITY has its OWN 3 PERSONs in TRINITY!! So totally 9 Persons in the GODHEAD!!!
