You referenced another statement -- "and passed into the presence of his Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ"

And then said -- "I always wonder about that wording. What about the rest of the Trinity?"

Well, it's true, there are three in the Trinity -- but only one is fully Man *and* fully God. Thus Jesus Christ is like us, in that He is fully Man.

God the Father has only been seen by the Son and the Son has shown the Father to us. No man has seen the Father, unless they have seen the Son.

Likewise, the Holy Spirit has been compared to the wind, not knowing where it comes from and where it goes.

Thus, it makes the most sense in that he will be in the "presence" of the Son, Jesus Christ -- as Christ says He will be with us "always".

Then who did Abraham see when he received the three visitors, who I believe were revealed to be God and two angels, before the destruction of Sodom? And could you provide a verse for the fully God, fully Man statement? I have long heard that.

The Wikipedia link led me to some interesting reading.

Amazing how many variations of the Trinity theme occur among Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox, Mormon, etc.

True, and to see Christ is to see God in the flesh. (1Tim.3:16)
