1 John 5:7 KJV For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Only problem is that nearly everyone agrees that this verse is an addition to the inspired text. It was put in there later..probably in order to have a definitive statement on the trinity because none existed.

Who is confused, you, or John? Did the Angel tell Mary the eventual Mother of Jesus 'Who' would be upon her and she conceive in her womb? Luke 1:34 And Mary said unto the messenger, ‘How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?’ the messenger answering said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;

Who the father of Jesus...a person called "holy spirit" or God the father?

Jesus never refers to a person called "the holy spirit" as his father. He understood that his father was God, the father, and the holy spirit was his father's presence in Mary. But the holy spirit isn't another "person".

As Jesus taught Philip a Physics lesson, so I shall try to share it with you:

Jesus told Philip that all he could see of God The Father Almighty was where God intersected Philip's sensory range, for, as Jesus put it, 'I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me.' 'All you see of The Father is what you see in me.'

When Jesus submitted Himself for baptism the Father spoke, The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and Jesus was with us in bodily form. All three Personages of the 'God is One' were present at the Baptism.

"And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."
Ephesians 4:30.


How does one grieve that which is NOT a 'person'?


John 14:16
"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;


Strangely; I've always considered an entity called he to be a 'person'.

But; I'm kinda funny that way.
