I'm loving this thread.  Thank you so much for this quote

temidayo27:

the seven spirits of God doesnt mean seven personalities, neither does it talk about angels,  they are simply the dimensions through which the spirit of God manifests Himself: spirit of power, spirit of wisdom, spirit of understanding,spirit of the fear of God, spirit of might, spirit of counsel, spirit of knowledge.

Acts.1:8, Lk.24:49 talked about empowerment by the Holy Spirit (Spirit of power) and Isa.11:2 outlined the remaining 6 manifestations of the Spirit.  Basically, these are what manifest in the live of a believer once the Holy Spirit takes residence.

Isa.61:1-2
I believe was talking about what Christ Himself has been "anointed" (assigned) to do.

@alimat

I go to the Revealer of Truth (Holy Spirit).

@ alimat

You recognizing GOD as OMNIPOTENT AND OMNIPRESENT affirms the fact that He can do whatsoever He want and decides how to go about it. Check the word PLURALISM. I don't expect you to get me anyway, going by your username but lets see what will come out of this.

I don't wanna begin discussion with a person and then he'd all of a sudden run away.

Where are you? You ready to go on?
 

@ muhsin
mere reading thru this thread I could see some dodginess (excuse my word) going on, but I'll give it a shot, bring it on.

p.s. I have a very busy schedule and also a nursing mom, I'll be responding as soon as I can but will stop when you start avoiding my questions.

@ alimat

All I was trying to say is that we have ONE GOD in different roles/offices with functions tied to those roles/offices but the role of GOD the Creator and FATHER accounts for the GODHEAD (TRINITY), so therefore, Christ's role (God that became flesh) and the Holy Spirit's role(God in us) is subject to God the FATHER.


@ Mushin

The reason why I stated what you called "deceitfulness of the century" was because of the question I had in mind when I found out that Jesus Christ was actually GOD. Was God's throne vacant when He walked the earth? Answer is NO. Mystery, right?

Oh, I forgot to add that the word here is PLURALISM. One GOD in different roles with its different functions.

It not comprehendable with a mere human knowledge, but mind you God's throne was not vacant when God came bodily (Jesus Christ). I'll save that till another day.

@ topic

Folks there are somethings that are just not black or white when it comes to GOD, it has to be through Revelation knowledge with the help of THE HELPER (Holy Spirit) and I think this is one of many.

Initially, I was so conflicted about THE TRINITY (GODHEAD) growing up in my walk with GOD, then I didn't know exactly how to or who to pray to amongst the GODHEAD, nothing I heard made sense but with the Holy Spirit and true diligence I gained the Understanding I was looking for, maybe sharing it will be of help to someone out there .

God the Creator is the HEAD of the GODHEAD, He bears the final responsibility and accountability for the GODHEAD which is a function, take for example (just for analogy sake I'm not saying its exact same relationship) the role of a husband within a marriage relationship not superior to his wife but accounts for the Headship that has functions tied to it, just as the wife too is not inferior to the husband has her function as the help mate but both are equal in the relationship. As we know God is very organize, He heads the Trinity. In the scriptures as we know there was always one person that heads a group e.g. Moses lead the children of Israelite out of Egypt. I'm sure we also know that with every organized group there is somewhat a head in order to avoid coehsion.

God the Son (which is also GOD Jhn 1:1) is the Personality of the GODHEAD walked the earth BODILY to die for our sins and also came to show us how to live in LOVE amidst a perversed, crooked and sinful world (Jhn 1:14), which is also a function but subject to the HEAD (GOD) Jhn 5:19.

God the Holy Spirit (Jhn 4:14) is the Personality of the GODHEAD that guides us in our day-to-day lives. Leads us to all truth and convicts of every thing that is not right. He lives in us, tell us what to and not to do (Jhn 16:7-8, 13) and also still subject to the HEAD (GOD).

I pray it helps.

Who is Jesus Christ?

Our Savior, Redeemer, the HIGH PRIEST interceding on our behalf at the right hand of the FATHER (GOD).

Secondly, the gospel of Jhn 1:1 talked about HIM being the WORD and GOD and we all know that GOD is also HIS WORD, verse 14 went ahead to tell us that the "WORD became flesh and dwelt among us", clearly stating that Jesus Christ as part of the GODHEAD (TRINITY) came in a bodily form to demostrate to us how to live in this our mortal body here on earth, which is one of HIS functions as GODHEAD.

In essence we have ONE GOD but with different functions. God the Creator and Personality that bears the final responsibilty for the GODHEAD (God), God that came in a bodily form, who came to demostrate to us how to live here on earth (Jesus CHrist), God that leads us to all truth and convicts us of every unrighteousness in our day-to-day lives (Holy Spirit).

Will stop there for now.
