Been pondering about telling my granddaughter about the Trinty.
Heard that she once said,
“Why don’t they just say Jesus?”
To me the differences
among Them are primarily functional.
-----
Father God is the originator, creator, of
all that exists. Before anything was, He is. Americans call Him “God”.
Hebrews called Him “Yahweh”. Greeks call him “Theos. Jesus called
Him Father and….
Mark 15.33:
It now being caused to be the sixth hour [noon], shadiness [pitch
black darkness] was caused to be over the whole land until the ninth hour [3
PM]. And at the ninth hour, Jesus hallooed [cried out] with megale [huge, great] phone [sound,
voice],
“Elio! Elio! Lama sabachthani?”
Which
methermeneuomenon [is being translated] from Hebrew Aramaic/Chaldee into Greek:
“O My Theos! O My Theos! To what did You abandon Me?”
-----
Father God spontaneously created or gave birth to the second member of the Trinty, His only Son.
“YOU ARE My Son! Today I gegeneka [have created, have given birth
to] You.”
PSALM 2.7 I will declare the statue of YHWH: He said
to Me,
“YOU ARE My beloved Son! I yalad [have given birth to]
You today.”
He is first mentioned in the Old Testament or Old Blood Covenant as Melchizedek.
GENESIS 14.18: After his
[Abram’s] return from nakah [striking, slaughtering] of Chedorllaomer (and the
kings with him) to the valley of Shaveh, Melchizedek (King of Salem) brought
out bread and wine; He was [is] a priest to the El [God] on High.
{Salem is a transliteration (by King James’ translators)
of the Hebrew Shalom
[safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship]}
PSALM 110.4: YHWH has spoken and
won’t repent,
“YOU ARE a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
Functionally, Jesus is God in the form of man [mankind].
Luke 1:30: the aggelos Gabriel said to her,
“Not fear, Maryam, for you have found charin [graciousness] from beside Theos and LO! you will conceive in your stomach [womb] and bear a son and you will call his name Jesus. The same will be megas [big, large, huge, great] and will be called the Son of the Highest. And the Kurios [Lord, Master] Theos will give to Him the throne of His forefather David and He will rule over the house of Jacob to the ages and there won’t be an end to His royalty.”
Father God being Spirit, we are unable to perceive Him. Jesus is the image of the Father. When we look upon Jesus, we see Father in a way we can perceive.
John 14.6: Jesus says to him,
“I AM THE WAY and the
TRUTH and the LIFE. Not even one person comes to the Father except via Me. If you had known Me,
you also would have known My Father and from now on you DO know Him and have seen
Him.”
Philip
says to Him,
“Kurie!
show us the Father and it satisfies us.”
Jesus
says to him,
“AM I so long a time with you, Philip and still you not know Me? The one seeing Me HAS SEEN the Father.
Jesus’ suffering on the cross was, to people, the visible
suffering of Father and of Jesus, together, to reconcile sinful humans to Him.
-----
The third person of the Trinity is the Holy Spirit. He is the indwelling God. Father set aside a portion of Himself to dwell within everyone who is rescued or saved through Jesus’ suffering and death. Being from Father God, He is “holy”. Since Father God is spirit, He is also “spirit”. He is, then, called the Holy Spirit, or historically in America, the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2: Now, in the fulfilling of the Day of Pentekostes [Hebrew Feast of Pentecost], they were all unanimous at the same place. Unexpectedly emergent from the ouranou [sky] was an echos [loud noise], just as borne of a violent wind, and filled up the whole dwelling where they were sitting. Themselves [They] stared wide-eyed at thoroughly partitioned tongues as of fire. It also sat upon each one of them and they were all filled of the Hagios Pneuma and began to utter words in different glossais [tongues, languages], just as the Pneuma gave to them to enunciate.
What does the Holy Spirit do for the person He inhabits?
For those being granted this endowment, He prays to Father in a language which
the Christian he inhabits does not know. This prayer is not limited to the
person’s understanding, or mind, because he does not understand the language.
It may be said that these prayers are from deep in one’s spirit, perhaps about
a need of which the person is unaware.
As a person becomes accustomed to “praying in the
Spirit”, that one may do so when faced with a sudden serious event; for
example, viewing a traffic accident; when one may be unsure of what to ask of
the Father.
Some sense the need to “pray in the Spirit” when suddenly
feeling depressed. Their prayer quickly lifts the depression, and they assume
that they have prayed for someone else’s need.
Is “praying in the Spirit” controlled by the person doing so? Absolutely! Some describe themselves as similar to an AM/FM radio. In “AM”, one prays with one’s mind. In “FM”, one prays through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In either case, the person controls which mode is in operation.
