This is a revealing to help understand the trinity of God better. We will see what the bible says and not opinions.
The Hebrew people knew there was only one God. Deut. 6:4 The Lord God is one Lord.
Num. 23:19 They knew God was not a man that he should lie.
Isa. shows a trinity. Isa. 48:16 The Lord God and his Spirit has sent me.
The Heb. were knowing God didn't have human flesh and bones. Lk. 24:39
Jn. 4:24 God is a Spirit .
The word anthropomorphic means while saying God had a face, hands , arms etc. it was to help describe him so to be understood. apple of God's eye meant he can see but not like a person with eyes.
to gaze on Jesus on the cross is because he is a person you can see. 1Tim. 2:5 He is called the man Christ Jesus.
Pilot said Jesus is a just person. Matt. 27:24. 2Cor. 2:10 The person of Christ. He was born and grew up to be a man. He is God in the flesh. The flesh could die and shed blood for atonement for sin. It was his life that he laid down.
2 Cor. 5:16 Paul says he no longer knows him after the flesh-Jesus ascended to heaven his former glory Phil. 2:5-10. Jn. 1:1-14 in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God.
Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit are one essence. Only Jesus put on flesh to become a (person). All we are left with is 3 distinct personalities who function as the one God yet have different functions according to the will of the one God. We cannot have 3 persons for God is one God not 3. but we can have 3 distinct personalities who function independently for specific reasons. example Jesus prays to the Father and calls him Eli ,Eli. Ps. 22:1. God is on the cross--Jesus-- while his Father- God is in heaven. He will then send the Holy Spirit in his place when he is in heaven. Yet---he is one God. answer is 3 personalities distinct yet united. not 3 Gods only one. not 3 persons.
My description is a tree. One roots, one trunk, one bough-top. together they will produce fruit and or leaves. yet still one tree. each part functions independently.
The goal? we cannot have 3 Gods. A lot to be understood so pray Holy Spirit show me. Jn. 10:30 I and my Father are one. Not Jesus only but two personalities. Father and son. God bless.
