Unlocking your gifts and understanding God's word/message

Modern Christians as a whole believe in some sort or fashion of the trinity. though it is a concept those in the old testament didn't teach. "Trinity" is never used in the bible, but it is described a lot. The reason is simple, before Jesus, we communicated differently with God. It was more a singular thing, either god in Moses case or an angel oft times would impart truth to men. Prophets would receive visions from god and tell all of his truth. Jesus “existed” then, we know this from the Bible. But the father hadn’t separated him from himself. So was not yet “begotten”. Since Jesus himself tells us after he rises he will send the spirit, we know the Spirit/Holy Ghost existed as well, but was not yet given to man. The idea of the trinity was a simple means to put a label on something that men had a hard time grasping. With good reason, I might add. Understanding the many facets of God, is not something we as humans are capable of. So, we do the best we can, the result is the trinity. The 3 parts of the one are a hard concept to get a hold on. the Bible explains it as best we will ever understand it. Since it is one of those “God things”, we are required to believe it and accept it, even if it doesn’t completely make sense to us. It has many layers of truth, as you would expect sincere are talking about the Creator of all things. For ease of understanding, I will do my best to explain what is unexplainable in any but the most basic of terms.
1. There is God the Father, Creator, Our true God etc. This is the ONLY complete God, meaning the original from which all things come. Father is what Jesus called him, so we will go with that name in this.
2. Our Father, knowing all things from the beginning too the end, knew that man would not be able to keep the covenants he made with god in the Old Testament, so in his mercy and Love he took of himself Jesus, His “knowledge”, which had always been with him, and gifted him to us, begot him or as the Bible refers shook out of himself. Jesus is oft referred to as “the word”, for he was here to impart knowledge of the father to us.
3. The Father knew even gifting us Jesus/knowledge wouldn’t be enough for man, so he also granted us the Holy Spirit, his wisdom. For the product of knowledge is wisdom, the result of Jesus ascension to the Father was that we were gifted wisdom, if we accepted Jesus/knowledge. Tis wisdom protects us from the false things in the world, it is our advocate and our protector.
So, as you see, God is threefold to us. But the father is supreme among them for he is the original. Jesus is his equal in all ways except that he was begotten, therefore became man, sullied himself in this world of sin, and gave his life/blood that our sin debt could be paid, granting us a pathway to the Father. The Holy Spirit is then gifted to man till the end of days, to help and lead the way back to the father, through wisdom gotten by Jesus gift of salvation. But he too is “of” god. But in deference to both Jesus and the Father. Confusing as it may be, thats as plain as I know to put it in words. Language is inadequate to describe God. It is however all man has to use till our ascension, where words will no longer be needed to commune with God. The triune god is full of symbolism and meaning, so I’m not even going to attempt to understand or explain all the wonders of God, but this is a good basis for understanding for most, I hope.

Amen brother! I will keep your son in my prayers.

Something to ponder on when your not thinking of other important things. Modern man is vested in science and technology more than anything else on earth. Where has that gotten us? With all our so called knowledge, are we better off than Jesus time? Or worse? When God created the earth and heavens, did he not provide for our very need? The earth is dying, as are we all, but it came at the hand of free will, we have always had the choice. Yet at every turn, man chooses himself over God. For every so called "good" thing to come from these pursuits, there are ten bad. Yet we choose to ignore the obvious imbalance and put our best efforts into making things "better". How is it that we can be so arrogant as to think we can improve on God's perfect work? If I had an ignorance eraser and could go back in time erasing ALL man has been fooled into thinking he has improved upon, we would be back at the garden with Adam and Eve. Is it not obvious to the eye that we have been the vessel of our own destruction? Instigated by the very one that convinced Eve that she could be equal to God? Man over all seems to be nearly incapable of summoning the courage to row against the stream of insanity that we live in. We just willingly remain ignorant of the things around us and continue on our path to destruction as fast as we can get there. It's this folly and control or belief of control that puts walls between us and our Father. The only way to overcome it is to give it up. Realize that the ONLY truth you have in your life is God, the rest is false reality we continuously propagate. We are the masters of our own reality, provided us by the greatest deceiver of all. Just something to think on if your a thinker. God Bless

I'm truly sorry, lionofgod. As long as your posts have been I pictured you typing away like a novelist with a deadline. Haha. Peace and love in Jesus Christ, brother!

No worries brother, I have tried posting places in shorter posts, but end up posting 5 more times to clarify, so I try to at least cover anything I feel may be an obvious question, for clarity. No apology necessary! Thanks all the same. God bless. Oh, since I am here and it may help with understanding me a little, I have epilepsy from shooting myself in the head, one bad arm from a triple tear in my rotator cuff, Many spinal issues and just had to have enough metal to build a child's bike put in my neck which is fuzed from skull to shoulders, which is when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's after my entire body would spontaneously convulse without control till i'd fall. I say this not for sympathy or pity, I see it as a blessing given me. I couldn't have truly found God, had I not been stricken so. i'm at peace with it and God, so how could I not love it in a way. 

God has revealed a great many truths to me. Most I freely share, a few are meant for me alone, that I might prepare and understand what is to come for me. The latter is why I am 100% secure in what I share. My place is already foretold of. My sharing anything but truth would risk my eternal soul, which I never jest or make light of. I am fully aware that much of what I reveal will only really matter to a few, but it is meant for all. We all are the sum of our experiences on this earth, therefore our lives are unique to one another. Not better or worse, as we are all capable of the same things if given the time and the tutelage of the Holy Spirit. One of the most evident examples of God’s eternal love is the gift of free will. Without it, we are simply tied to the Lord of necessity. He is the father, we would have no other choices without Him granting us this overlooked gift. It is also at the core of His message. As is my charge from the Holy Spirit, I look at the truth of ALL things that I see or experience, the Bible is no different. The book is a collection of organized letters on pages to convey a simple message, bound with glue and covered in leather or some other protective material. The ONLY thing that separates it from any other book is what is contained within it. God’s truth, via the writings and letters of the apostles, Jesus, the prophets and etc. Were man able to commit the entire book into his memory with 100% accuracy, he wouldn’t have need of the book. Post Adam and Eve and pre Old Testament, God’s message was conveyed around the fire or while attending the animals and all the other mundane things that man does. Passed from father to son and so on. Those original men were far closer to God than we are, in time and in deed, but had no bible to study. God didn’t need too gift this to man until man had begun to lose his message and turned astray, then in his love for his creation, he had us write down his ways and laws for us. That they may be preserved for future man to use. Thus creating a continuity of message. When that was even not enough, he sent Jesus to fulfill his message and reaffirm it’s origins and validity in the New Testament. But even that he knew wouldn’t be enough. He tells us so in the books itself. Were having the instructions and the knowledge of how to use them adequate, there would be no end times or books foretelling them. The beauty of his perfection and incomprehensible knowledge and Love, is in the fact that knowing all things of the beginning and ending, he gave us free will that we could chose him as he chose us! A man asked me the other day “If the Bible is really so simple, why is it so big and hard to understand?”. My answer to him was this. the Bible is needed to provide each generation with a stable basis for god’s message. Once the message is understood, it acts as a vessel to sup on. Keeping us filled with his Love, that we may endure this time on earth without being a miserable wreck. For it provides Hope. But at its most basic, Gods message can be boiled down to a few simple statements. Really one if you want to really get to the core of it. “God is Love.” Everything else is quite simply an expression of that love. Love begets love. Since Gods “core”, for lack of any term that can hope to explain it, is LOVE. Love inherently needs to be shared to be fulfilled, so god gave us free will that he might have his children choose their Father and Love him in return. Being all knowing and all powerful, he could have simply imbued it in us and given no choice, but he desires us to choose to love him because we want to do so, not just because he says so. Glorifying God is showing and sharing love. However, he is just in his love, so entry into it takes an action on our part, since we are not gods, we are flesh, we had to have a means to do so, Jesus gave that gift with his blood, that all we need do to share in his love in believe and then act on that belief, having faith alone will not do, you must act on that belief for it to come to fruition. Once you do, once you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your remission of sin, you are gifted the Holy Spirit to aid in your actions, for if He is in you, you needn’t sin, you now have a choice. You choose to sin, knowing the consequences or you choose God and go forth and sin no more. But being still of the flesh, you cannot completely rid your body of sin, but your soul will be freed, that you need fear no death or anything else of this world, for you have the absolute knowledge that there is a glorious place for you at the table of your Father in heaven where all await your coming in joy!
