[ Is there one God or three? ]

Revelation talks of the 10 Spirits of God..
Is God 1..,3.., or 10 Spirits?..
Answer: God has as many Spirits as he needs to have..

As Exodus ch 3 implys to Moses.. God is who he is..
A puny human cannot concieve of who and what God is..

I Cor 2;9 also implys that we may not be able to understand much about God.. as a formula or "doctrine".. "We" barely understand who and what "WE" are.. if "we" indeed do at all..

More nasty things have been done in the name of "hard doctrine" than in the lack of hard doctrine.. When considering doctrine seems that the "Holy Spirit" is ignored or considered a pain in the ass and/or impotent.. by those doctrines..

How can you love that which you cannot concieve of? Further, I can concieve of Him quite well - such is the miracle of the Incarnation.

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man 'against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's enemies will be those of his household.'" ~ Matthew 10:34-36

It is almost as if Jesus said such doctrines would be hard and may create strife.
