Well brother... since you only have one gear I will go ahead and answer your question although MY viewpoint is not what they are working through blood, sweat and tears to pull out of you.
The OP leaders in this thread are dodging their question with all the might they possess. I am already having this conversation on another forum and my opinion is already known by the one doing the asking. As a matter of fact my open and honest answering of tbpews questions has caused me to take another look at what I believe.
But... to answer the question they have posed to you (and not me) I would say the following...
I have been taught that there is one God in 3 manifestations.
I have been taught that...
God is the Father in creation
God is the son in redemption
God is the Holy Ghost in touching/infilling man.
Basically.. Jesus was God robed in flesh.
But... an honest and open discussion with tbpew has caused me to at least step back and see what thus saith the word of God concerning these long held beliefs.
I have presented a long list of scriptures in this forum (multiple times) that seem to state emphatically that the apostles did draw a real difference between the father and the son. No one has made any comment on my questions concerning these scriptures.
I have stated what I have been taught. I now do see that the apostles did demonstrate that they saw a clear dilineation between the Father & the son and I am in a state of study, prayer and possible flux at the moment.
Hopefully this has answered the question that was not posed to me. If you could now give a clear answer to the same question it would be greatly appreciated.
