You weren't Trump's accountant were you? So how come people make it three, including yourself?

3 PERSONS in ONE God = Trinity.

In fact, the doctrine of the Trinity, by definition, asserts that there is only one God. The doctrine of the Trinity does not teach that there are three gods, but rather one God who exists as three persons. It is strictly and explicitly monotheistic. It is not a denial of monotheism to suggest that the one true God is not as simplistic as a mere human in His personal nature.
 
Just to say, if I may, it is “God IN three persons” and not God IS three persons. Thank you for your understanding.

When I talk about God, and use the word Person to show that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have personhood or personality. That is, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have intellect, emotion, and volition. Any being with rationality, emotion, and a will can be considered a person; thus, human beings are persons, but so are angelic beings and the Divine Being. The definition of person cannot include physicality for the simple reason that human beings do not cease to be persons after death. A dead person’s body is left behind to decay, but his true self—his personhood—lives on in either heaven or hell.
 
you know the Jews break down the history from Creation to Flood, Flood to 1st Temple, 1st temple to destruction, destruction to 2nd Temple, and then we have the New Testament.

have you ever wondered why Jesus, Paul, Peter, and Jude quote the Oral before Written views of Enoch?

where did Peter get Fallen Angels have been locked up in Hades so Fallen Angels are not demons if they are locked up?
where did Jude get Fallen Angels that left their First estate from?

if Fallen Angels are locked up and been locked up since Genesis 6, where do Demons come from?

where is Paul, Peter, and Jude getting this stuff about Fallen Angels and inheritances of Nations from?

1.
Now I have no axe to grind on this and I only make this post to inform and not to debate.
Therefor, may I say to all reading this that First of all, the Book of Enoch is lie from beginning to end. It is a hodgepodge of mythical writings about Enoch’s supposed tour of heaven and hell during which he was led about by archangels and given extensive revelations.

He even reveals the names of archangels not mentioned in the Bible (Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel). It is full of wild-eyed tales, such as 450-foot-tall (300 cubits) cannibal giants on the pre-flood earth, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in heaven, the spirit of Abel suing Cain before God’s throne, angelic “watchers” congregating on Mt. Hermon before invading mankind to have sexual relations with women, angels teaching men how to make swords, shields, mirrors, and jewelry, etc., and disobedient stars in hell.

Second, Parts of Enoch did predate the birth of Christ, but much of it was written later. Some fragments of the book were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, but those fragments do not contain the prophecy of Enoch found in Jude.

Third, it was the “church fathers,” meaning heretics such as Origen and Clement of Alexandria, who gave credence to pseudoepigraphical (falsely attributed) books. It cannot be proven that the apostles themselves gave any value to the Book of Enoch or even that they knew of its existence.

2. The question was........
"where did Peter get Fallen Angels have been locked up in Hades so Fallen Angels are not demons if they are locked up?"

FROM the Lord Jesus Christ!

Under the custodianship of God the Holy Spirit, JESUS not only went to Paradise but He also visited Tartarus or Torments.

And while there, He went to Tartarus, the third compartment or area of Hades is called Tartarus and it is the prison of the fallen angels who were involved in Genesis 6.
1 Peter 3:19 In which [Spirit or by means of Whom, God the Holy Spirit] also He went - He received transportation and made proclamation to the spirits [= allen angels and demons and the wicked lost now in prison,

"where did Jude get Fallen Angels that left their First estate from?"

Possibility #1: There was an oral tradition that Enoch had given this prophecy, though it was not ever written down in the Old Testament Scriptures. If indeed this is the case, then the prophecy of Enoch was passed down by word of mouth accurately for over 2500 years. While it is possible, it seems very unlikely that any oral tradition could be passed down for 2500+ years and remain anything close to accurate.

Possibility #2: Jude was given this information directly by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This possibility assumes there was no oral tradition, but instead that Jude was given information that wasn’t in the Old Testament record. This should not be a surprise, because the apostle Paul was given the names of two Egyptian magicians who withstood Moses—even though those two men were never named in the Old Testament (see 2Ti. 3:8). This was information given by inspiration without any reliance on an outside source.

"if Fallen Angels are locked up and been locked up since Genesis 6, where do Demons come from?"

The Lord Jesus Christ!

Colossians 1:16..........
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him" = Jesus the Christ IS THE CREATOR!

Context tells us in Rev. 12:4 & 7
that demons were originally created as angels and existed as part of God’s angelic army. However, when Satan rebelled against God, one third of the angelic host joined him in his revolt, which is why Scripture refers to them collectively as “Satan . . . and his angels” in Rev. 12:9. These fallen angels who rebelled with Satan are the beings Scripture refers to as “demons.”

God in three persons! That is what the old hymn says, you say it, and that is what I said in #586 above. That is totally correct. Amen.

Now I understand where much of the 'left field' ideas come from on these Forums. ☣️☢️☣️☢️
