Are you suggesting that I have an inability to grasp the Trinity? Actually, have no difficulty grasping the Trinity. What you've stated here is not the Trinity that was taught in the beginning. What you've stated here actually come from the time of Augustine and it contradicts the Scriptures. The fact that they are called the Father and the Son, shows that they are not co-equal. The Father has authority over the Son.
Let me ask you, what exactly is a Godhead?
I my friend am suggesting nothing whatsoever. I simply stated my opinion from YOUR own words.
You said ......"The fact that they are called the Father and the Son, shows that they are not co-equal".
The term "Godhead" is found three times in the King James Version:
Acts 17:29;
Romans 1:20;
Colossians 2:9. Three different Greek words are used, but each one means “divinity.” It is important for us to understand from the outset that God exists in three Persons. The concept of the Godhead is that God is one yet God is three
Deut.6:4 says............
“Hear, O Israel! The LORD our God, the LORD is one!”
The unity of the Godhead cannot be questioned. It can be misunderstood or not understood at all. Scripture tells us that God does not consist of parts.
He is one. But Scripture reveals that there are, in that one divine essence, three eternal distinctions. Those distinctions seem best described as
Persons, known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
All three have identical attributes, however, and therefore they are one—not merely one in mind and purpose, but one in substance. To possess all the same attributes is to be one in essential nature. The three Persons of the Godhead possess identical attributes. They are one in substance and one in essence, and therefore they are one God.
But the Holy Spirit is also part of the Godhead. His name is “the Spirit of God” (
Genesis 1:2).
He, too, possesses the attributes of deity and performs the works of deity. While He is the Spirit who proceeds from the Father (
John 15:26).
He is at the same time called “the Spirit of Christ” (
Romans 8:9).
He is coequal with both the Father and the Son. The Apostle Peter clearly viewed Him as God when he said to Ananias, “Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit? . . . You have not lied to men, but to God” (
Acts 5:3-4). If the Father, the Son, and the Spirit all bear the names of God, possess the attributes of God, and perform the works of God, then there is no alternative but to acknowledge that our one God exists in three Persons.
