The truth is not a matter of numbers, the truth is not a democracy

Yep, faithAhh, right, faith, good honest answer

Yes, It IS amazing what God can do to redeem mankind and still abide by the very rules the He placed into being. He really DID see the end from the beginning!The difference though, Ken, is in all three you are still human. You're role doesn't change Who you are just your role depending on the person you interact with.
A deity isn't a spirit. A spirit isn't a man of flesh and blood. Each deity (being), spirit (say love and grace), and human being (jesus) have totally different natures. The nature not their name makes them totally different persons. Spirit doesn't create, but connects the believer to the creator. Jesus doesn't create but his flesh dies so believers can be with the creator. The creator isn't human, and the spirit doesn't talk.
So the names/roles father, husband, granddaddy are just names to the same person with different roles. The idea of christianity is different natures for different roles but trinitarians say that's the same person (making it a bit more confusing than it needs to be). But generally, your analogy doesn't fit the trinitarian view of spirit is jesus is god-three natures, three roles not one nature, three roles.

Actually, that is called doubt.Faith is almost as good as rolling dice for deciding what is true.
If you believe that He knew the end from the beginning, then you have to admit that He knew Adam and Eve would disobey him.
If you believe that He knew the end from the beginning, then you have to admit that He knew he was going to wipe out almost all of humanity because He didn't like the way they turned out (even though He knew, from the beginning how they would turn out).
Yet, somehow you think His actions are "amazing"...
I see nothing amazing in killing everyone if you knew from the beginning that you were going to kill everyone. I'd call that PPP.
ETA: Pi$$ Poor Planning

PS... when I wrote the three names, I wasn't referencing anything else except three names that are in the TaNaKh.
Whatever that is supposed to me. [shrug]Actually, that is called doubt.

One but three?They say the torah doesn't say spirit or Christ just god. One person. One nature. How did you get three outside the gospels?
Isaiah 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Isaiah 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Psalm 110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Ya gotta luv people who still try to play the "impossible odds" game.
YOU are the result of 1 in 100,000,000 sperm impregnating your mother's egg. YOUR father is the result of 1 in 100,000,000 sperm impregnating his mother's egg. HIS father is the result of 1 in 100,000,000 sperm impregnating his mother's egg.
In just three generations YOU exist because of a 1 in 100,000,000^3 possibility. Since you are so good with numbers, you can figure out the odds of you existing just going back 2000 years to the time of your Christ.
If you do, you will see that it is statistically impossible that YOU exist.
Please do let us know the results.
Well, who created universe ?
Come to me, hear this. I have not spoken secretly from the begining. From the time that it was, there I am. Now the lord god and "his" spirit, has sent me.
The lord god-his spirit. God is a spirit with the title of lord (title of royalty and authority). The nature of god is his spirit.
An origin of the water is sea. Water evaporates into the sky in the form of clouds... Further, falls on the mountains in the form of snow... Further, melts down into the rivers.. Further, again start running back towards the sea.. Further, sets back into its origin to repeat the same process once again.The universe wasn't created. The universe changed from what it was into what it is. The universe is always changing from what it was to what it is. There is no reason to think there was ever a time this was not the case.
If you cannot think about your origin then anything you say on the subject is necessarily not true.We aren't capable to Think about our Origin.
