Whenever I'm assigned to teach this lesson, I feel I should be on my knees.
As I have been taught, the three Persons of the Trinity each has a mind of His own and a will of His own. That's, by definition, what makes them "Persons." That's why Jesus would rather not "want" to die on the cross, but could still say, "Not My will, but Thine be done."
But they are in unison of being, and the "essence" of their Being is Love.
Thus Jesus also said, "the Father and I are One."
John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father."
Nice. Congrats to you for being he person designated to teach this.
I believe Jesus words meant that their understanding and goals were one.
I truly believe that.
At the same time, the Angels (that stayed in heaven) had the same goals too. They are not a part of the Holy Trinity though.
This leads to so many variants. Jesus could have succumbed to the temptations in the desert. It wasn’t per-ordained he couldn’t.
The study of salvation through faith is an amazing subject.
It is the one true topic where science fiction like materials, are 100% the gospel truth.
Today’s science fiction (IMO) is a very clever attempt to draw attention away from the Godly mystical, to the pagan substitute.
This is done so often in Satan’s plans. Islam, is a clever substitute for religion. It rises up in opposition to truth.
