Also, if you think that the Word is separate and distinct from God the Father, then you REALLY need to read John 12:44-50,...at least 10 times,...very slowly.
goodnight all!
Of course, the three Persons of the Trinity are not “separate.” God is one substance, not three. But the three Persons are distinct, or distinguishable.
If you hold that the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit are ABSOLUTELY one, the same, indistinguishable from one another, then you are not a Christian, but have invented a different religion.
