Who is Here #2

After spending more time thinking about the location of the Trinity, I realize the flaws in my considerations.

Flaw #1 God is limited to His throne in heaven.
God is Spirit. He is not bound by time nor space. The God the Father is seated on the throne in the heavenlies and He is everywhere at the same time.
John 4:24  “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”


Flaw #2 Jesus Christ is limited to His throne at the right hand of the Father.
Jesus Christ, while He was on this earth was under the rules that humans experience, but in His glorified body He is once again a Spirit-being.  Now, where two or more gather in Jesus’ name, He is with them and with others groups of two or more all over the world and is seated at the right hand of God the Father.
John 17:5  “And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”


Flaw #3 The Trinity without oneness.
The Trinity is three in one and one in three. They have unique roles, but they share attributes of the Godhead: omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotence.

I still consider the person of the Holy Spirit is under-valued, under-utilized and under-loved among most Christians today. Why? The Holy Spirit is misunderstood.

The experience of Pentecost, tongues, fire-like flames, filling, and indwelling have become a confusion of terms and experiences.

God the Father formed and made all things. Jesus Christ the perfect Son was sacrificed so that our relationship with the Father may be restored. The Holy Spirit is available for us to live pure, powerful lives here and now.

What is helpful to you in understanding the Trinity, their function, and their oneness?
