Religion & Spirituality
Welcome to our Enrich Life faith Gathering. We post one of these once a week. We are starting our brand new series on the book of John. It is called "Person(s)" and we will discuss who God is and who we are as we approach God. Click on the link to download the outline of John: https://3fda7480-1e35-4a29-a97a-ef4d9...

For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another, and that of the Holy Spirit still another. But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.” (Catholic = Greek: καθόλου (katholou) κατά 'about' + ὅλος 'whole'' “according to the whole, in general”) “Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. Yet there are not three gods; there is but one God.” Jesus of Nazareth was God made flesh. 1. His own disciples were convinced he was God: John 1:1-5, John 1:14, Act 20:28, Phil 1:19, Gal 4:6, Joh 20:28, Tit 2:13, 2 Pet 1:1, Heb 1:8, (500 witnesses to his resurrection 1 Corinthians 3-11) 2. The Holy Scriptures prophesied that the Messiah would be God: Isa 9:6-7, Isa 7:14, Psa 110:1 3. Jesus himself revealed that he was God: Mat 22:41-46, Joh 10:30, Joh 10:33, Joh 8:58, Exo 3:14Hebrew “Son of” idiom: Joh 17:12, 1 Joh 3:10, Deu 32:8, Gal 3:7, Mat 12:23, Matt 15:22 The Nicene Creed - https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/creeds/nicene-creed “And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God”.
