THE LORD GOD says that He is "ONE" God.
Monotheistic "MAN" say that there is "ONE" God.
According to (Natural)"MAN" God is ONE in Number.
According to Jesus, God is ONE in UNITY. I and{kai}my Father are one.(John 10:30) kai:and or also
Now in the above passage according to Jesus Himself, is He "and" His Father "ONE" in NUMBER or in UNITY?
So you don't believe there is only one God NUMERICALLY? How many Gods do you believe in then?
On another note, did the Old Testament saints realize that God was One in Unity or acknowledge the Deity of Christ via the Holy Spirit?
"He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? (If David then call him Lord), how is he his son?" Matthew 22:43-45 In this passage in Scripture, Jesus is hinting to the spiritually blind that He existed before David as His LORD!
So what makes more sense to you - one God sitting at another God's right hand (in unity of course) or one God sitting at his own right hand?
THE LORD GOD is indeed ONE GOD!
If he's not one in number (as you deny he is) then how is he "indeed" one?
Once again let us see how the spiritual Jesus Himself interpreted the meaning of "ONE":
John 17:22 - And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be (one), even as we are (one):
So Jesus's followers are one in the same way that Jesus and the Father are one - so the members of the Trinity are only one in the same way that many human persons can be one...you're right, you certainly DON'T believe there is one God in number.. So, once again, HOW MANY (numerical) Gods do you believe in ?
How many persons make up they?
Many...
And how many persons make up
we? [/quote]
Many...
According to JESUS, how many equals ONE?
One WHAT? One bunch of people or one person?
The Natural mans Interpretation of the Number One is flawed, Scripture proves this:Revelation 21:17 - And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the (measure of a man), that is, of the angel.
Do you understand where I am coming from?
From your elected class "Trinitarian Brainwashing 101"? Now tell us what is the word that DOES mean the "NUMBER one" in the NT?
