That's the correct view of the Trinity.
According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit was also involved in creation.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:1–2)
Your comment may be the correct view of the Trinity, but my point was that 1 Cor 8:6 does not support the Trinity. The spirit of God hovering over the face of the waters, or even creating, does not negate Post#901, either. The true doctrine will fit all scripture. Trinity does not fit every verse. Some verses can sound like they do, but if other verses do not, then it is not the truth. As it is with other denominations: J.W., Oneness, Unitarian, which can seem to fit some verses, but
not all, therefore not the truth. Truth and lies do not fit together smoothly!
This verse offers up only two possibilities..
Pro 30:4
Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
[The Father by His word
] Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
[The Father by His word
] Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
[The Father by His word
] Who has established all the ends of the earth?
[The Father by His word
] What is
his name, and what is
his son's name?
[God is the father of Jesus, and Jesus is the word become flesh, who is God's son, and by God's word did God do all these things
] Surely you know!
2 Cor 3:17 Now
the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Gen 1:2 And the
Spirit [is the same word for
wind and
breath [John 3:8], as in Psalm 33:6 "..by the
breath [
wind and
spirit] of His mouth."
] of God was
hovering [which means flutter, tremble, shake. As a word that comes out of a mouth does
] over the face of the waters. And Psalm 29:3 says, “The
voice [sound moves in waves and vibrates, flutters, moves
] of the Lord
is upon the waters. Acts 2:2 "..there came from heaven a
sound like a mighty rushing wind.." The spirit is sound, or makes a sound, as wind is, or does.
Now notice John 6:63 “It is the
spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I have
spoken unto you
are spirit [words are spirit, and Psalms 33:6 claims "By the word..and by the breath [spirit, wind] of his mouth"; 2 Thessalonians 2:8 “spirit/breath [KJV and ESV] of his mouth”
], and
are life [words are life and
give life, and the spirit
is life and
gives life. And
the spoken word is spirit Jn 6:63].” On top of that notice Job 33:4 “The
spirit of God hath
made me, and the
breath of the Almighty hath
given me life,” and yet also notice John says, without His word “was not any thing made (John 1:1 “
word”, 3-4 “
life”)”]. There is also Eph 6:17 which also states
the spirit is the word of God. Also, the
word was God, and
God is spirit. That is what God and His word is, spirit, as Jesus taught and confessed here in Jn 6:63, that spirit and word are the same.
And if that were not enough, in Jn 17:3 Jesus said this is eternal life,
knowing only two persons,
leaving out the Holy Spirit as a person.
Another glaring verses is 1 Tim 5:21 Paul appealing to the highest of powers, skipping over the highest Holy Spirit for the lower angels?! Major red flag! "I
charge thee before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the elect
angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. Even Luke 9:26, or Rev 3:5.
