The Trinity Exists Within Each Person

If there is a Trinity it is within each person. God being all and in all and everything that exists. Our flesh is a part of the Father-- Him being manifest. Our souls and identities are the sons and daughters of Him and His Holy Spirit is the life/breath and Love within us. He is also all intelligence and a great part of us.
He created for Himself HIS OWN IDENTITY/PERSONALITY to show how He is, how He feels, etc. to set an EXAMPLE for us on how to live, not on how to die. This is why He calls His identity His only BEGOTTEN Son and gives all power unto Jesus--This is how we are to be. When Jesus says that the Father is greater, He means MORE. When He says that none are good except God/Father He means the pure Holy Spirit of maternal Love that He feels for all mankind.
We are to be as He is--carrying the burden of maternal love for all mankind as perfect examples of obedience with truth and wisdom as our guide.
Yeshua Bless You

Joh 14:28 You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

The word "greater" does not tranlate into "more," at least not in the context of the verse. ". . . because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I." The Father is greater in the sense that Jesus was speaking from the state of His humiliation. If the disciple loved Him, they would rejoiced that He was going to the Father, and coming back to them. What better place to be than with the Father?

There is not and never has been three. The book of Isaiah has plenty of verses stating there is only one God and his name is Jesus. You can look at self and see.
A man is a father, a son and a husband :but he is still only one man.

Re: The Trinity Exists Within Each Person

The point I made is that there really is NOT three--just one. I think of all things visible as the Father, all things invisible as the Holy Spirit and we are the sons and daughters of God. In Jesus was all God's wisdom, All truth, all intelligence, how He feels towards us and how He wants us to be towards Him. He came among us to give us a perfect example and to let us know Him. Jesus is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God said to be as He is in all His ways--walk like Christ.
