What is the difference between...

Post #1

Post by Elijah John »

What is the difference between the Risen Christ and the Holy Spirit?

Which Person of the Trinity does one "invite into one's heart" in order to become "born again" and saved?

If they are the same, then how are they distinct "Persons"?

If not, how is that still Monotheism?
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

I can't even BEGIN to imagine how many ways I can "See" Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
Anyone interested in about 50 or so metaphors?

I haven't made a ridiculously long list in a while.
Could be fun.

I started with "goat" because I thought that "lamb" was a little bit cliche. I like baby goats. They are so CUTE and full of energy. Affectionate, too, surprisingly.

I like goats.
If ONLY my avatar was a baby goat, not too too much of a fan of old ones.

But that would be such a lot of work.
And I'm really a lazy kind of cat.

I actually STOLE my current avatar.

Question:


  • Do you agree that we can view Jesus and the Holy Ghost in oh, so many ways?
