Three in One

Trinity. A word not found in all of scripture but the fact that God is three persons in one cannot be denied. I will not offer you an explanation of the trinity. But one thing I will do is share some scripture that sheds light on this subject.

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

Acts 17:29
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

You may count for yourself the number of times 'Godhead' is used in scripture.

Do let me explain three things though. Time is made up of what? Past, Present, Future? Space is measured be what? Length, Width, and Height? All matter exists in what forms? Solid, liquid, or gas?

In the beginning [time] God created the heaven [space] and the earth [matter].
-Genesis 1:1


If I may, let me quote Michael Hoggard from his book The King James Code, "Time is the essential law of the universe; nothing exists outside of the laws of time. Before there can be matter, there must be space to put it in; therefore, time, space, and matter are in their perfect order." I will leave you with one last verse.

Revelation 4:8
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy[once], holy[twice], holy[thrice], LORD[1] God[2] Almighty[3], which was[past], and is[present], and is to come[future]. -words in brackets mine.

For the many that do not know, there once was a band called S.H.E.E.P. It stands for Salvation Has Eradicated Evil Permanently. Prayer before practice was a must. We never once missed praying before we played. Jesus was our reason. This song bears His title. Watch this video and exprience the song simply titled, Jesus.

And then there were...

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. -Genesis 1:7,8

Two. One plus one. Funny, I guess all numbers could be boiled down to just ones. That'd be alot of adding though! In the number two, we have the possiblity of division. Two divided by one is two. Going back to the one plus one, we also have a union of two things.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." -Jesus(Matthew 18:20)

We find in Genesis 1:16 that God made two lights. The greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. We are to walk as children of the light. If we walk not in the light, then we are in darkness. And how great that darkness can be! "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."-Jesus(John 8:12)

"..in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."-Jesus(Matthew 18:16) The book of Revelation mentions two witnesses in the end days. It makes perfect sense that it takes at least two to have a witness. If there's only one person with no one else around, then who's to witness what the one person does? So then it clearly takes two to have a witness.

My prayer today is that God is my witness that I have chosen this day to walk in the light. And I pray that as each day goes by, the light becomes brighter and brighter making my path all the more clear. Today I leave you with an old hymn:

Holy Spirit, Light divine, Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away, Turn my darkness into day.
Holy Spirit, Pow'r divine, Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long has sin, without control, Held dominion o'er my soul.
Holy Spirit, Joy divine Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my many woes depart, Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
Holy Spirit, all divine, within this heart of mine;
Cast down ev'ry idol throne; Reign supreme, and reign alone. Amen.
-Words, Andrew Reed, 1817

UNO

Ok, so I know my picture on this page is a bit big but I'll fix that later when I get the time. I might even change the pic entirely. It's one of my fav pics though, so at the moment I'm keeping it! Thank you to anyone who cares to follow me blog! .....on to the blogging now.......

..UNO...the number one. What's in a number? Why do we have them? What is their purpose? Is not all things digital made up of ones and zeros? that's something and nothing isn't it? One is something. Zero is the nothing. right?!? And do numbers lie? Can something plus nothing ever equal anything else? 1+0=?

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. -Jeremiah 33:3

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

And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. -Revelation 4:2

Thus ends my ramblings for today. God bless you all.
