1 Corinthians 2:9-16
Wisdom from the Spirit
9 However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"— 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
Romans 1:7
God is the Father
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 20:24-29
My LORD and My God
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Acts 5:3-4
Lying to the Holy Spirit is Lying to God
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Man Has a Spirit, a Soul, and a Body
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
St. Paul does not call it the Trinity or that God is three different Beings or Persons, but He makes reference to God, the Holy Spirit, and the mind of Christ in his first letter to the Corinthians...We know that there is only One True God, and somehow in the Trinity of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit that reveals the mind of Jesus - God is still One...We know that They are One and are Divine...There are distinct Parts of God, making up our One True God...And there are distinct parts of man, as St. Paul writes to the Thessalonians - a Spirit, a soul, and a body...
St Paul writes however, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him"— but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit...The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God...For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?...In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God...We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us...This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words...The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned...The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct him?"...But we have the mind of Christ...
St. Paul writes that man's eye, or his ear, or his mind cannot really conceive the complexity of God...St. Paul says that God can be revealed to us by His Spirit...The Holy Spirit searches all things and knows the deep things of God...He writes to all in Rome who are LOVED by God the Father...God is our Father, and called Father...Thomas, one of the original Twelve Disciples calls Jesus my LORD and my God...And St. Luke in writing the Acts of the Apostles writes about St. Peter...And St. Peter said when we lie to the Holy Spirit, we are lying to God...And he is calling the Holy Spirit, God in that respect...God is Spirit, and seems to be One in essence, but have this Divine Trinity attribute around Him...And God is One Being...His name is I AM WHO I AM...This is complicated about God, but that seems how God would be - a most complex One...But I think of it as man who has a Spirit, a soul, and a body (with many parts)...We were created by a complex God, who made us unique and somewhat complicated...Even though we are somewhat complicated we cannot completely understand God...But God's Image and intelligence are evidenced in us as we see logic, reason, organization, and His design and creation around us...
