Very Funny.

God's presence on earth can be seen through His Spirit (Holy Spirit) as demonstrated through the OP.

@Patches,

In the OP, I believe you refer to God's spirit as "He". That would reflect a lack of scholarship. The Greek of the Bible text uses gender qualifications for nouns. As it is, the Greek 'pneuma', meaning 'spirit' is masculine. Hence it is referred to as 'he'. This is of no more an assignment of personality than would be your perception of your boat as 'she'.

God's spirit is identified as a force in Genesis 1:2. It is not a person.

The Holy Spirit is the third "person" in the Holy Trinity.

My friend, the Trinity is not something I have read about in scripture, could you elaborate? Do you have a scriptural basis upon which to establish this teaching?

I am always curious about the reasoning of people who ask about that, Smiley.

Is "scripture" the only way to establish a "teaching?"

Why can't "tradition" and "lore" be a way also?

If scripture is the only way to establish a teaching, how does one establish that teaching...since it doesn't show up in scripture.

AND...is there anything in scripture to establish and define what should be included in scripture...or how "scripture" should come into being.

Jesus revealed the Holy Trinity to us.

Mathew 28:19 Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

In the case of the trinity teaching, you would be correct, Frank. Which is another way of saying the teaching is unscriptural.

Not to mention that it is a lie that dishonors God and demeans Jesus' sacrifice.

@Patches,

Therefore when an authority speaks in the name of the law, he must be referring to a person, right?

Good thinking, squeaks.

@izzythepush,

Interesting take, Iizzy. Exactly what might appear true if one were to accept the teachings of nominal christianity without vetting them against scripture

So scripture says he doesn't have a cape?

I have no idea if it is a lie or not. Frankly, I think the best guess that can be made about the entire Bible thing is: Is is mythology gone batshit crazy.

But my question about teachings and scripture stands...if anyone cares to actually answer it.
