This is suppose to be the part I am "pretending" to not understand?
I not only understand but I have written "the Lord is the Spirit" and the "son . . given" is called [b]"eternal Father". I've been writing about 2 Cor. 3:17 and Isaiah 9:6 for years showing that one Person is God.
I have written scores of time showing the interchangeable titles in "Romans 8:9-11".
The Spirit of God
The Spirit of Christ
Christ
The Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead.
These interchangeable titles are used to describe the Person within indwelling the believers in Romans 8:9-11.
That is one God with interchangeable titles. So there has been no "pretending" that I don't understand the one Person aspect of God's nature.
I have written many times that in the experience of the saints we can detect no difference.
But I have written faithfully that the other side of this mystery is that they are distinct three _____________ [let's say persons]. If I pretend that that side of the truth doesn't exist my conscience and the consciences of thousands of my brothers and sisters will protest.
You want badly some kind of admission. Okay, I'll give you an admission. Ready?
I cannot explain this three-oneness.
But I am sure not going to PRETEND that three distinct but not separate "persons" is not revealed in the Bible.
I don't have to be able to explain this great mystery. I am commanded to believe in God. And you go right ahead and doubt my mental capacities is that make you feel good. I don't care about that because I know I am being true to ALL of what the Bible reveals.
I cannot PRETEND that "We" is not a plural pronoun. And I don't believe that "We is used to express two or more modes or manifestations which are ONLY successive. Like "I was a student. I was a bachelor. I am a married man. And WE are here today playing chess."
And I think this is probably an impasse in dialogue which we will not get agreement on if we haven't yet in so many talks. I'm comfortable with this.
Plenty of Christians smarter than I will ever be have noticed this three-oneness of God. We still can experience and enjoy "the mystery of God, Christ".
-Removed-The Son is eternal.
Your self confident posture that the Son of God isn't doesn't change this.
The Father and the Son as one God are also two distinct persons.
Your strutting around confident that those who say so are pretending to not
understand you doesn't change this.
God is tri-une.
The unique God is three-one.
Support from atheists to help you construct ad homs against those who believe in the Triune God doesn't change it.
