The Trinity is like an oyster, God and Jesus are the two halves sharing the same guts- the holy spirit.
I have no problem at all with that "separate but-one" concept -
On the one hand -
Jesus said:- "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30) and - "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:8 )
BUT on the other hand -
Jesus said - "I am going to the Father, for my Father is greater than I" (John 14:28 )
Jesus said - "Why do you call me good? Only God is good" (Luke 18:19)
Jesus said - "Only God knows when Judgment Day will be, I don't know myself" (Mark 13:32)
High Priest asks - "Are you the Son of God?" Jesus replies - "I am" (Mark 14:61)
Jesus said - "I say nothing of my own accord, i only say what my father tells me to say.." (John 12:49)
"My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me" (John 7:17)
"Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." (Luke 23:46)
God himself said - "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased" (Matt 3:17)
And of course Jesus regularly prayed to God, yet if he was God why would he pray to himself? |
