I know what people are going to say but it does not change the fact that it makes God sound like he has a multiple personality disorder. God is ONE, PERIOD. I am one person, I have three or more shoes I fill in a daily basis but that does not mean that my personalities are seperate and co-equal. THEY are ALL ME.
Actually, you are not one, but made up of many parts. Your body, soul and spirit are all broken up into compartmentalized divisions. Your consciousness, unconsciousness, thoughts, heart, mind, soul, emotion, head, tail and on and on and on...

So you are telling me that my soul is co-equal to my spirit and to my unconciousness, etc etc....

Sorry but they all make up one person and that is me. I know what all it takes to make up me but I do not have three or more seperate personalities to make me up. I am ME. PERIOD. I may have different thoughts and feelings about things but ONE feeling or thought is what I live by. There is no meeting of the co-equal personalities to decide what I am going to do for the day or week or for that matter my entire life.

God is and only will be ONE. That does not take from the fact that GOD can and has manifested in many forms. The point is that God is God and can do ANYTHING. We are the ones who because we can not accept that GOD IS, we have to decide he has one or two or three or more CO-EQUAL personalities that CO-EXIST and we have to give them seperate and yet equal worship time.

I do not believe that Jesus gets jealous if I pray to the father or holy spirit more than I do to him. That is because he is those other things and vice versa. I believe when I pray I must pray according to my need. If I need a healer I am pray to my healer or if I need forgiveness to the forgiver of sins. The thing is they are all still GOD. Plain and simple. He is ONE forever and ever. No matter how many manifestations you want to attribute to HIM.

Re: Now this is what i call relevant!!!

To my children I am their father, to their mother I am her lover. If she calls me dad or daddy in front of them I do not get upset with her. I know what she is doing. If my children call me by my given name or a pet name they have for me I do not get upset. They are my children and they know how to address me when the want something, need something, or have an emergency. I respond accordingly. I do not send my feelings to respond just because they addressed me in the wrong manner or because they address the wrong 'personality'. I have many positions I hold and many shoes I fill but I am still ME. I respond as ME. I can not seperate my 'personalities' out and find out what each one of them want me to do about a situation. I am still the one and only ME. Just as God holds many positions and manifestations He is still God no matter which one you address.
