trinity1
We're going to do a 3 part teaching on t Trinity, God t Father, God t
Son, God t Holy Spirit. One thing that we do have to realize is that they
are God. They operate in total unity, but have different operations.
I. GEN 1:26
A. T word "God" in t phrase, "And God said" comes from t Hebrew
word "elohiym." Elohiym is t plural of God.
1. In other words it would read & Gods said.
a. This of course is God t Father, God t Son, & God t
Holy Spirit.
2. There's something else that we can get from this
scripture. God said, let us make man in OUR IMAGE.
a. Does God look like us?
i. T answer to that yes & no.
ii. Does God have flesh like we do? No.
iii. ROM 7:18 No, God Doesn't have flesh like
us, our flesh has t sin nature in it.
a. Our flesh has been condemned to die, unless
t Rapture takes place, & then we'll be changed, our mortal {must} put on
immortality.
b. JOH 4:24
i. T Bible says that God is a Spirit.
ii. Even though He is spoken of as having hands,
arms, hind parts, & a face.
ii. He is still a Spirit being, & our spirits are
created in t image of God.
