John Mark Hicks Our Triune God-The Wonder of the Story.

Theological Hermeneutics John Mark Hicks Hypocrisy

TheoDrama claims that the OBJECTIVE history God's dealing with all nations is a NARRATIVE. Walter Brueggemann insists that once the ACT has been concluded it serves as a MEMORY and is repeated by OLD people. The younger generation suggests that THEY must have their own drama for their own culture. Because it is IMAGINATION, anyone still owning a leather bound Bible, will see the HYPOCRISY (Rhetoric, Music)

Older people understand, from Clay Tablets onward, that THEATER and MUSIC as "let's pretend" is not the PERSONA of most people want to see standing in the Holy Places claiming to BE JESUS (Rubel Shelly) for OUR advanced culture.

NO ONE EVER SAID THAT JEHOVAH, JESUS OF NAZARETH AND HOLY SPIRIT WERE THREE GODS.  

FEMINISTS SAY THAT PAUL ACTUALLY COMMANDED THAT WOMEN HAVE COMMAND AUTHORITY.

"by Stache, Kristine M., Ph.D., LUTHER SEMINARY, 2008, 196 pages; 3360826 This dissertation is an exploration into the history, theology, and day-to-day thoughts around missional church from leaders and lay persons of four different denominational systems. Interview data was collected from 350 individuals in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church USA's Synod of the Trinity, Mennonite Church USA, and a fellowship of Churches of Christ connected with Abilene Christian University.      In addition, a NEW WAY of understanding the TRIUNE GOD as a social reality         and in relationship with humanity         is introduced through the hermeneutic of feminist theology. The communion of the Holy Spirit is COMMUNICATION and always in the form "God puts His WORDS into the MOUTH of a Moses, Elijah (the earlier prophets) and LASTLY Jesus of Nazareth. The New Testament is the LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT and any one wanting to call that BLOOD-BOUGHT gift to HEIRS will not want to hire a Theologian to Read our Mothers's Last Will. "Specifically, how can the EXPERIENCE OF WOMEN help one BETTER         understand the kingdom of God present today and coming at us from the future?

SECOND: THEOLOGY BASED ON "REINTERPRETING" ALL HISTORICAL SCHOLARS.

If you are not a Son FROM God, you are OF the World, kosmos, ecumenical, kingdom of the devil making war against the kingom of God. The Nomes or laws of the World Order are marked by music and love of young boys. http://www.pineycom.com/Walter.Brueggeman.Apostasy.at.Lipscomb.University.html How could any human ever have “wrought” any action of God?  What is clear in Brueggemann’s text         is that he does not accept that the prophets         spoke because they were revealing the very person and work of God.  He does not believe that the authors were recording God’s actual dealings with humans, past or future;         rather, he says that they “wrought,” i.e., made up, acts of God from their imaginations.  Brueggemann is indelibly clear that he sees the prophetic books to be fanciful (he uses the word “imaginative”)      creations of groups of men, rather than the revealed words and prophesies of God. LIPSCOMB UNIVERSITIES CREED: http://www.pineycom.com/C.Leonard.Allen.Lipscomb.University.Theology.html Walter.Brueggeman.Imagination.Theology.html This conference proposes that WE allow the worlds IMAGINED         in the essential biblical narratives         to dramatically shape our preaching and lives. We believe that preaching REconstitutes biblical paradigms when it engages Scripture’s vision 1. by REpresenting what is absent 2. and making present what is INaccessible 3. to the end that followers of God will live into a God-shaped reality. We identify biblical paradigms [Patterns] through the emphases Israel and the church gave them or by the claims made by the texts themselves         What Paul calls “of first importance” and Jesus describes as “weightier”         suggest a hierarchy of values--         that some parts of Scripture have greater claim than others.         These pivotal texts which echo through Scripture         should craft the Christian experience as well. The weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 1 Cor. 15:3 For          I delivered unto you first of all         that which I also received,         how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; Paul said "I delivered" first or Protos (h4413) pro'-tos; contr. superl. of 4253; foremost (in time, place,  With a vision deeply rooted in biblical studies and a homiletic         That seeks to live in the world Scripture envisions, this year we ask:         What claims on our lives does the Exodus narrative imagine?

THE LIPSCOMB UNIQUE TRINITY INVENTED BY H. LEO BOLES REVIVED BY FEMINIST THEOLOGY: John Mark Hicks: Relationality—communal subsistence—is woven into the fabric of the cosmos itself. God is NOT an isolated, single monarch whose only relation is to RULE.         God is a community of EQUALS          (THEY share the DIVINE NATURE) united in mutual love.  THAT IS  A DIRECT CONTRADITION OF DOZENS OF DIRECT STATEMENTS RECORDED OF GOD
	Filled with Divine Nature does not make one a God. Jesus Defined Blasphemy what the Pharisees and most if not all latter day graduates of schools of the Bible now schools dominate by feminists teachers: ---and because that thou, being a MAN, makest thyself God. John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the         Father hath sanctified, [At Baptism]          and sent into the world, [Kosmos: kingom of the devil making war against the kingom of Go]         Thou BLASPHEMEST; because I said, I am the SON OF GOD? John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. THE SON OF GOD CAN NEVER BE FATHER GOD UNLESS HE IS "WOKE" Num. 23:19 God is NOT A MAN, that he should lie;         neither the SON OF MAN that he should repent:         hath he said, and shall he not do it?         or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you,         I go away, and come again unto you.         If ye loved me, ye would rejoice,         because I said, I go unto the Father:         FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I . John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not;         for I am not yet ascended to MY FATHER         but go to MY BRETHREN, and say unto them,         I ascend unto MY Father, and YOUR Father;         and to MY God, and YOUR God. Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words;         Jesus of Nazareth,         a MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,              WHICH GOD I BY HIM in the midst of you,               as ye yourselves also know: 1Cor. 8:5 For though there be that are called gods,         whether in heaven or in earth,         (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 1Cor. 8:6 But to us there is but ONE GOD [Theos], the Father,         OF whom are all things, and we in him;  and one Lord [kurios]Jesus Christ,         BY whom are all things, and we by him Mark 12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise:         have ye not read in the book of Moses,         how in the bush God spake unto him, saying,         I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead,         but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.   2Cor. 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,         that GOD HATH MADE that same Jesus,         whom ye have crucified, both LORD and CHRIST. Rom. 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,         THAT he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Is. 43:3 For I am the Lord [YHWH] THY God, [Eloyhim]         the Holy ONE of Israel, thy Saviour:         I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord.         Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?         and the Philistines from Caphtor,         and the Syrians from Kir?

Is. 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD;        and BESIDE me there is no saviour. h1107 biladey without, besides:—beside, not (in), save, without. Is. 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed,         when there was NO STRANGE god among you:         therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. Is. 43:13 Yea, before the day was I am HE;         and there is NONE that can deliver out of my hand:         I will work, and who shall let it? Is. 43:14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer,         the Holy ONE of Israel;         For your sake I have sent to Babylon,         and have brought down all their nobles,         and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. Is. 43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,         the creator of Israel, your King This is what the LORD says Israel's (1) King and (2) Redeemer, the (3)  LORD Almighty:          I am the first (1) and I am the last          (2); apart from me there is no God. --  Isaiah 44:6 I am the Lord (Jehovah), and there is none else,         there is no God (Elohim) beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:         That they may know from the rising of the sun (east), and from the west,                 that there is none beside me.                 I am the Lord, and there is none else.

Was it not I, the LORD? (Jehovah) And there is no God (Elohim) apart from me, a righteous (1) God (Elohim) and a (2) Savior; there is none but me. Isaiah 45:21 Remember the former things of old:         for I am God, and there is none else;         I am God, and there is none like me, Isaiah 46:9             (There could be no co-equal gods with Him) Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:10 Jer 10:10 But the Lord (Jehovah) is the [1] true (Elohim) God, he is the [2] living God (Elohim) , and an [3] everlasting king (ascends the throne): at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.  John 5:26 For as the Father hath LIFE IN  HIMSELF; so hath HE GIVEN TO THE SON to have life in himself; John 5:27 And hath given him    authority to execute judgment    also, BECAUSE HE IS THE  SON OF MAN Written after the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Fall from grace and abandoned to the "elohim" YHWH (singular) is the ONLY true go (elohiim] Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God [elohim] created the heaven and the earth. Gen. 1:2 And the earth was [become, come to pass] without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. For thus saith the Lord (Jehovah) that created the heavens; God (Elohim) himself    That formed the earth and made it;    he hath established it, he created it not in vain,    he formed it to be inhabited:   ..I am the Lord; and there is none else.         Isaiah.45:18 Deut. 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD THY God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands Acts 7:42  Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, ; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? [1] He hath made the earth by his power, [2] he hath established the world by his  wisdom, [3] and hath stretched out the heavens by his  discretion. Jeremiah 10:12 [1] When he thunders, the waters in the heavens  roar; [2] he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.

John 7:17 If any man will do his will,         he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory:         but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him 1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,         and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD         and one mediator between God and men,         THE MAN CHRIST JESUS

TRINITARIANISM: INEXPLICABLE, BUT BOTH ONE AND THREE

John Mark Hicks LU: Trinitarianism has a checkered history at the practical level. In the average congregation, or ministerial gathering, or seminary classroom, the subject of the Trinity comes as bad news rather than good.         Just when we have struggled to believe in God,         Christians also believe that God is, in some inexplicable way, both one and three.         This incomprehensible affirmation seems to have nothing to do with daily life. [or the Bible] John Mark Hicks LU: It is as if Christians come to know God first, and then tack on the Trinity as an addendum. Whether God is triune or not becomes insignificant to discipleship.         When it appears that the God is better understood without the doctrine of the Trinity,         some regard it as superfluous, though it may be reverently acknowledged as a mystery. When it seems incompatible with divine unity it is jettisoned by others. People knew God long before the neo-trinitarians being ignorant of Classical Trinitarians ever hallucinated a godhead with three separated persons or people: I was 8 years old when it was first articulated for the first time in history by H. Leo Boles. But the confession of a Triune God is eminently practical and theologically rooted in God’s redemptive-historical self-revelation. Trinity is the Christian doctrine of God. But, not rooted in the TEXT: Jesus says that doctors of the law "take away the key to knowledge.' The message throughout the Bible is that: There is One God the Father in Heaven There is One Son or Word speaking the Words of the Father (only) God MADE TO BE that Jesus of Nazareth to be both Lord and Christ. 1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,         and one mediator between God and men,         the man Christ Jesus; Again, since no one prior to the DLC ever thought such a thing, I think that may be beyond redemption since there is no "trias" concept in the whole world and the ONE GOD fills the pages. Is. 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name:         for I have CREATED him for my glory,         I have FORMED him; yea, I have made him. Is. 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD,         and my servant whom I have chosen:         that ye may know and believe me,         and understand that I am HE               BEFORE me there was no God formed,               neither shall there be AFTER me. Is. 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD;        and BESIDE me there is no saviour. h1107 biladey without, besides:—beside, not (in), save, without. Revised 9.05.11 Jesus said that doctors of the law "take away the key to knowledge." That is their job: that is what they do. God sends strong delusions when people just tamper with the word and corrupt it meaning "selling learning at retail." As a theologian, John Mark Hicks is a student of theology but not the Bible. The trinity was common in all paganism: Here is the IDOL of the Babylonian triad.  When the dove rested ON Jesus after His baptism the voice "up there" said this is my beloved SON.  In Babylon Semiramis would say "this is my beloved DAUGHTER." And then later when Israel rose up in musical idolatry the golden image of a real bull calf represented the Egyptian trinity of Isis, Osiris and Horus.  The little cross was a phallic symbol executed on the fallen enemy.   You may access the whole series at my Serial page.] John Mark Hicks LU: : The divine ontology is Being-in-Relation—the Christian narrative describes God as one and three. The "trinity" is never God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit: trinity is Father, Son and Spirit all manifest in the ONE person of Jesus of Nazareth to prove to the always-pagan trinitarians that God is NOT three people. No historic trinitarian ever hallucianted that the Godhead consisted of three separated individual beings able to communicate, eat and dance the dirty dance together.  Paul Tillich calls it a heresy that only in the 19th century anyone dared to call God a person. Spirit never speaks of a PEOPLE!  WHAT  IS THE MEANING OF "SPIRIT" God the Father breathed (spirit) on His Son who articulated the Words of God. The Word of God is the same as the "words" of the father. The word is begotten by the father: if the Son is literally begotten then He is younger than the Father and cannot be Deity.  If the father begets words the these "sons" are as old as God who spoke. It is not a problem for anyone who goes beyond proof-texts picked out in advance. God is not simple minded: He was perfectly able to say "We the God Family consists of three separated Divine Beings." To think that Paul has to UNPACK the 'trinity' is pretty close to calling God a fool. No, John said that if you deny the formulation in all of the salutations that you are ANTI-Christ. That formulation is: One God the Father in Heaven And One Jesus of Nazareth whom God MADE TO BE both Lord and Christ The Spirit of God is the Mind of Christ (1 Cor 2): Spirit and Mind are used interchangeably. The Mind of Christ is not a person and neither is the Spirit of Christ. The first use of TRINITY has no connection to Lipscomb University and their--first in history--definition of the Godhead as three separated persons with, in the Words of John Mark Hick, each one being a center of consciousness. I suppose that the father, son and spirit each has their OWN spirit and therefore Benny Hinn counts up to a dozen god people. The word Trinity was first used by Theophilus of Antioch to Autolycus. Trinity meant: God, His Word and His Wisdom(Spirit). It did not mean the doctrine of the Trinity in the modern sense of the word. God always had His Word with Him when He "began" to Speak but Jesus of Nazareth was not that human enable to SPEAK the very words of God without METER as the word often means.. [An eminent authority says, "It is certain, that, according to the notions of Theophilus, ........... God, His Word, and His wisdom constitute a Trinity; ........... and it should seem a Trinity of persons." [Or personae] Psa. 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. Psa. 33:6 By the [1] word of the [2] LORD were the heavens made;          and all the host of them by the [3] breath of his mouth. Psa. 33:7 HE gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:         HE layeth up the depth in storehouses. Psa. 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD:         let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of HIM. Psa. 33:9 For HE spake, and it was done;          HE commanded, and it stood fast. Psa. 33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:         he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. Jesus used parables to fool the Jewish clergy who had no right to know: He said that truth had been hidden in parables from the foundation of the World. In the case of the pagan triads He refuted them by hiding the truth in plain sight. It seems to have been a man named Theophilus of Antioch who first applied the term trinity to this Biblical concept as early as 181 A.D. But it was the Anathasian Creed, completed some time in the fifth century, which stated it most clearly: "We worship one God in trinity, and trinity in unity, neither confounding the persons, nor separating the substance." On this the Bishops, having negatived the terms they had invented, published against them the sound and ecclesiastical faith; and, as all subscribed it, Eusebius and his fellows subscribed it also in those very words,of which they are now complaining, I mean, "of the essence" and "one in essence,"         and that "the Son of God is neither creature or work,         nor in the number of things originated         but that the Word is an offspring from the substance of the Father. And He too is the Father's Word, from which may be understood the impassible and impartitive nature of the Father, in that not even a human word is begotten with passion or partition, much less the Word of God   Wherefore also He sits, as Word, at the Father's right hand; for where the Father is, there also is His Word; but we, as His works, stand in judgment before Him; and, while He is adored, because He is Son of the adorable Father, we adore, confessing Him Lord and God, because we are creatures and other than He. 17. O that they would consent to confess the truth from this their own statement!         for if they once grant that God produces words,         they plainly know Him to be a Father; Chapter III.-Nature of God. You will say, then, to me, "Do you, who see God, explain to me the appearance of God." Hear, O man. The appearance of God is ineffable and indescribable, and cannot be seen by eyes of flesh. For in glory He is incomprehensible, in greatness unfathomable, in height inconceivable, in power incomparable, in wisdom unrivalled, in goodness inimitable, in kindness unutterable.

Theophilus of Antioch, Theophilus of Antioch, And He is without beginning, because He is unbegotten; and He is unchangeable, because He is immortal. And he is called God on account of His having placed all things on security afforded by Himself; and on account of any of any foreign means (of) running, and moving, and being active, and nourishing, and foreseeing, and governing, and making all things alive. [sorry! no dirty dancing] But he is Lord, because He rules over the universe; Father, because he is before all things; Fashioner and Maker, because He is creator and maker of the universe; the Highest, because of His being above all; and Almighty, because He Himself rules and embraces all. This is my God, the Lord of all, who alone stretched out the heaven, and established the breadth of the earth under it; who stirs the deep recesses of the sea, and makes its waves roar; who rules its power, and stills the tumult of its waves; who founded the earth upon the waters,         and gave A spirit to nourish it; whose breath giveth light to the whole,         who, if He withdraw His breath, the whole will utterly fail. Most excellent is His wisdom. By His wisdom God founded the earth; and by knowledge He prepared the heavens; and by understanding were the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the clouds poured out their dews. If thou perceivest these things, O man, living chastely, and holily, and righteously,         thou canst see God. But before all let faith and the fear of God have rule in thy heart, and then shalt thou understand these things. When thou shalt have put off the mortal, and put on incorruption,         then shall thou see God worthily.

THE PATTERN FOR THE SYNAGOGUE-CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS FOR GODLY PEOPLE AFTER THE LEADERS FELL INTO INSTRUMENTAL-TRINITARIAN-PERVERTEDO IDOLATRY. THIS WAS THE PATTERN DEFINED BY THOMAS CAMPBELL. Thomas Campbell defined:       CHURCH:   is A School of Christ       WORSHIP: is Reading and Musing the WORD Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. THE PATTERN OF JESUS. Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth,         where he had been brought up:         and, as his custom was, [PATTERN]         he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, [ONCE EACH WEEK]         and stood up for to READ. THE PATTERN OF PAUL. Acts 13:15 And after the READING of the law and the prophets        the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them,        saying, Ye men and brethren,        if ye have any word of exhortation [comfort] for the people,        SAY on. NEVER "sing" or "preach" beyond translating or comments ON THE READ SCRIPTURES. THE PROPHECY- PATTERN FOR THE "LEADERS" THEN AND NOW. Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,         because they knew him not,         nor yet the VOICES of the PROPHETS         which are READ every sabbath day,         they have fulfilled them in condemning him THE DIRECT COMMAND AND EXAMPLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN God sent Apostles and SCRIBES to record ALL that one needs to know in order to keep peace and Educate: that is the inclusive-exclusive PATTERN. Eph. 2:16 And that he might RECONCILE both unto God         in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Eph. 2:17 And came and preached PEACE to you which were afar off,         and to them that were nigh. Eph. 2:18 For through him we both have access         by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,         but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [EDUCATED IN THE EKKLESIA]         the foundation of the apostles and prophets,         Jesus Christ himself being the chief [only Rabbi when we READ]         corner stone; [Angelus: isolated, silent and secret] Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together         for an habitation of God through the Spirit. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him,          IF a man love me, he will KEEP MY WORDS:          and my Father will love him,          and WE will come unto him, and make our abode with him John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,          IF ye continue in MY WORD          THEN are ye my disciples indeed The Father  Breathes {spirit} into the SON. SPIRIT is always seen as God puts His WORDS into the MOUTH of the SON. John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;         the flesh profiteth nothing:         the WORDS that I speak unto you,                  [Jesus is Masculine and ADULT: He does not SING]         they are SPIRIT, and they are life THE PATTERN OF JUSTIN MARTYR AND OTHERS ON WEEKLY WORSHIP. Justin Martyr Chapter LXVII.-Weekly Worship of the Christians. "And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost. JUSTIN: And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place,   and the memoirs of the APOSTLES or the writings of PROPHETS the  are READ, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased,    the president verbally instructs,    and EXHORTS to the imitation of these good things. Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. Acts 13:15 And after the         READING of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying,     Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of EXHORTATION     for the people, say on. \AND IN THE CHURCH: GOD NEEDS NO HELPERS. Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [Educated in the Ekklesia]    the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath         In every city them that PREACH him,         being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day. SABBATH MEANS REST: QUARANTINED FROM JERUSALEM `Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,         because they knew him not,         nor yet the VOICES of the PROPHETS         which are READ every sabbath day,         they have fulfilled them in condemning him

JESUS SPEAKS FROM HIS FATHER: YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN WITH YOUR FATHER.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, John 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,      If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free   John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. John 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: John 8:38 ¶ I speak that which I have seen with my Father:      and ye DO that which ye have seen with YOUR FATHER

Good mortals might become daemons after death（Eurip.Alc. 1003; Plato, Cratyl. 398 B; Lucian, De morte Peregr. 36）, and such as they were charged with the guidance and care of mankind（Plato, Laws 713 D; Plutarch, De genio Socr. 588 C）. 2 The“journey across”seems to refer to one part of the“conveying” that daemons performed—conducting the souls of deceased human beings from earth to the abode of the gods. Plat. Epin. 985b they interpret all men and all things both to one another and to the most exalted gods, because the middle creatures move both to earth and to the whole of heaven with a lightly rushing motion.

Much of the writers parroted the earlier works of Olbricht (Bible professor at Pepperdine University), and the more recent works of C. Leonard Allen (Bible professor at Abilene Christian University). According to the so called "Scholarship Movement," our current hermeneutic (the "Old Hermeneutic" of command, example, and necessary inference) must be abandoned and replaced with a NH because they claim our current hermeneutic is a manmade tradition taken from the 19th century. The NH advocates have not reached a consensus as to what the NH ought to be, but they are all in agreement that the "Old Hermeneutic" must go. "Out with the old and in with the new" is the cry of the NH. SHADY AND HERMES-LIKE NEW HERME-NEUTS Homer on Hermes Hermes, while still in his cradle, made APOLLYON'S harp from the shell and guts of a turtle. Hermes: Born with the dawning, at mid-day he played on the lyre, and in the evening he stole the cattle of far-shooting Apollo on the fourth day of the month; for on that day queenly Maia bare him. When Zeus had an affair with Mnemosyne, he coupled with her for nine consecutive nights, which produced nine daughters, who became known as the Muses. They entertained their father and the other gods as a celestial choir on Mount Olympus. They became deities of intellectual pursuits. Also the three Charites or Graces were born from Zeus and Eurynome. From all his children Zeus gave man all he needed to live life in an ordered and moral way. Hermes, the herald of the Olympian gods, is son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, daughter of Atlas and one of the Pleiades. Hermes is also the god of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves, and known for his cunning and shrewdness. He was also a minor patron of poetry. He was worshiped throughout Greece especially in Arcadia. Festivals in honor of Hermes were called Hermoea. Originally Hermes was a phallic god, being attached to fertility and good fortune, and also a patron of roads and boundaries. His name coming from herma, the plural being hermaiherm was a square or rectangular pillar in either stone or bronze, with the head of Hermes (usually with a beard), which adorned the top of the pillar, and male genitals near to the base of the pillar. The offspring of Hermes are believed to be Pan, Abderus and Hermaphroditus. Hermes as with the other gods had numerous affairs with goddesses, nymphs and mortals. In some legends even sheep and goats. Pan, the half man half goat, is believed to be the son of Hermes and Dryope, And when the purpose of great Zeus was fixed in heaven, she was delivered and a notable thing was come to pass. For then she bare a son, of many shifts, blandly cunning, a robber, a cattle driver, a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night, a thief at the gates, one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds among the deathless gods. Born with the dawning, at mid-day he played on the lyre, and in the evening he stole the cattle of far-shooting Apollo on the fourth day of the month; for on that day queenly Maia bare him.

JESUS' WORD IS SPIRIT: A "LYING SPIRIT" SPEAKS BEYOND SCRIPTURE..

http://www.pineycom.com/Tertullian.Praxeas.html

John Mark Hicks LU:The God of Israel sent the Son [Word] into the world—born of woman (enfleshed), born under the law (an Israelite)—who prayed to the Father as “Abba.” The Son who shares the reality of the Father as theos (God; John 1:1; Romans 9:6) became flesh and dwelt within the cosmos (John 1:14). As the monogenes theos (“the only God,” John 1:18), nestled in the bosom of the Father, he is the exegesis of the Father. The Word or Logos by which God created all things was not Jesus of Nazareth: When God speaks the results are WORDS. Words are sent out but not as another "people." The Spirit OF Christ always spoke through the prophets: 1Samuel 3:19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 1Samuel 3:20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew         that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.   The Spirit of Christ as the Dabar appeared to Samuel as the visible voice of God   1Samuel 3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh:         for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh         by the word [Dabar, Logos] of the LORD. The Word of God which proceeds from the Father and conveyed by Spirit or Breath was made visible and audible in the nam Jesus of Nazareth. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh,         and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,         the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, [cosmos] but for them which thou hast given me;         for they are thine. John 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,          and I come to thee. Holy Father,         keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me,         that they may be one, as we are. John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, [cosmos] I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world [cosmos] hath hated them,         because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,         but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. John 17:16 They are not of the world,[cosmos] even as I am not of the world. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. After Jesus died, was resurrected and "changed" He lived in a Holy (adjective) Spirit form: He appeared to and spoke to Paul as Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth Who proved His sonship by the CENI was granted the right to ascend into heaven and be honored by God: at the same time He as the ONE Holy Spirit still rules and teaches His Church.  John is looking post-resurrection: Consistent with all historic trinitarians, the SON of God is God's WORDS which He made Incarnate breathing His Spirit to deliver all of the Words Jesus the physical son speaks. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh,         and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,         the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jesus is the PERSONIFICATION of that Word to make the inaudible speak forth to us.  John speaks post-resurrection and taken personally to God. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time;         the only begotten Son, which IS in the bosom [garment] of the Father,         he hath declared him. The physical son was not in the bosom of the Rather before he was born!

Now, as soon as it pleased God to put forth into their respective substances and forms the things         which He had planned and ordered within Himself,         in conjunction with His Wisdom's Reason and Word,         He first put forth the Word Himself,         having within Him His own inseparable Reason and Wisdom,             "Nor need we dwell any longer on this point, as if it were not         the very Word Himself, who is spoken of         under the name both of Wisdom and of Reason,         and of the entire Divine Soul and Spirit. The Spirit of God in this passage must be the same as the Word.         For just as, when John says, "The Word was made flesh,"         we understand the Spirit also in the mention of the Word:         so here, too, we acknowledge the Word likewise in the name of the Spirit.         For both the Spirit is the substance of the Word,         and the Word is the operation of the Spirit,             and the Two are One (and the same). JESUS PROVES IT: John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;         the flesh profiteth nothing:         the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you,         they are SPIRIT, and they are life

Jesus is never Called GOD (Theos) but Lord (kurios) given that role after Jesus was born IN THE FLESH 30 years before the rose from the dead to be "Lord of both the living and dead. Paul wants male and female to be silence when the WORD is PREACHED by being READ once each week. 1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,  [kept safe]         and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. [Word, Logos ourlaws rhetoric, music or scenic] 1Tim. 2:5 For there         is ONE GOD, [trias means God thinks, God breathes and God Articulates]         and one mediator between God and men,         the MAN Christ Jesus; [Who is also Comforter, Paraclete 1 John 2] 1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,         to be testified in due time.{new Covenant, Last Will and Testament, not to be changed or SOLS} 1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, [eye-witness only] and an apostle,          (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;)         a teacher of the Gentiles in faith [word-only] and verity. [not opinion or Thology meaning Mythology]  Jesus Called Trinitarians BLASPHEMERS: John called them ANTICHRISTS        THE ONLY SPIRITUS PERSONIFIED IS APOLLYON LEADER OF THE LOCUSTS-MUSES-SORCERERS All Scripture uses "THE" Holy Spirit understanding that the words translated SPIRIT have never and can never define a "god" without insulting "them"

The trinitarian argument is to include the word "the" as part of the entire phrase "the Holy Spirit" to justify the notion that the 3rd Person of the Trinity is the gift.  That should not be the case as the Greek word "tou" is actually translated as "of-the" -- a combination of the words "of" and "the" as the literal translation indicates.   The expression "holy spirit" (with the adjective "holy" modifying the noun "spirit") is not a proper name.  The word "spirit" is not a proper noun even if it is an element or an essence of a divine being.  The "spirit" in this case is modified by the word "holy"; thus, it can be stated as a "spirit that is holy." That is the absolute evidence that translators knew that God's Spirit was not ANOTHER god now made available to repudiate Christ. The Glorified Jesus exists in the STATE of Holy Spirit meaning without flesh and bones. . In context, the proper translation (without considering capitalization rules in English) should be any of the following: ... shall receive the gift of the holy spirit (or "the spirit that is holy") ... shall receive the gift of a holy spirit (or "a spirit that is holy") ... shall receive the gift of holy spirit (or "spirit that is holy") Heb. 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,         which are written in heaven,         and to God the Judge of all, and to the         SPIRITS of JUST men         made PERFECT, Rom. 5:9 Much more then,         being now JUSTIFIED by his blood,         we shall be saved from wrath through him

God provided no Assembly for Worship. No one in Holy Scripture is ever said to "worship" by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, acting or PAY FOR PLAY. This fact is proof that God sent Jesus to seek and save lost spirits and translate that sanctified spirit into a heavenly kingdom OUT OF REACH of those OF the World, Kosmos, Ecumenical or the kingdom of the Devil. Therefore, Performed Worship Services identify the WORLD, Kosmos, the Ecumenical or the kingdom of the Devil making war against the invisible Kingdom of Christ.

Searching.for.the.Pattern.John.Mark.Hicks.html

John Mark Hicks by virtue of being a THEOLOGIAN missed Jesus.  In Face God's WORD which was made AUDIBLE when God put His WORD into the MOUTH of Jesus for these LAST DAYS. This is the MEANING of SPIRIT or Breath which delivers God MENTAL DISPOSITION.God IS Spirit rather than flesh and bones and His WORD or Logos or Regulative Principle.  John Mark Hicks and all merchant theologians speak THEIR OWN WORDS which, according to Jesus, denies that the ONE LORD-GOD is their father.

John Mark Hicks is searching for a PATTERN which will VALIDATE his "commercial worshiping institution" and pour RACA words on those who know that WORSHIP is falling your face literally or IN SPIRIT.  The CENI pattern can find not a  single example of anyone ever said to WORSHIP by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, acting or PAY FOR PLAY.

JOHN MARK HICKS WANTS TO MAKE UP HIS OWN PATTERN AND SELL IT:

dogma , atos, to, (dokeō) A.that which seems to one, opinion or belief, Pl.R.538c; “d. poleōs koinon”  Poi-etikos able of making, creative, productive, opp. praktikos (active, Arist.EN1140a4), tinos

3. dogmatism, Olymp.in Mete.151.21.

THIS IS ANTI CHRISTIAN:

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do NOTHING:
        as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
        because I seek not mine own will,
        but the will of the Father which hath sent me

Luke 24:44 And he said unto them,
        These are the WORDS which I SPAKE unto you,
        while I was yet with you,
        that all things must be fulfilled,
        which were WRITTEN in the law of Moses, and in the PROPHETS,
        and in the psalms, CONCERNING ME

ANY BIBLE READER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST IS DEFINED INCLUSIVELY AND EXCLUSIVELY IN THE PROPHES.

When Jesus was not yet with the apostles in the STATE of flesh and bones:

John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the SON OF MAN ascend up where he was before?
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the words that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life.
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not.
        For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not,
        and who should BETRAY him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you,
        that no man can come unto me,
        except it were GIVEN unto him of my Father.

NO HUMAN CAN SPEAK A SINGLE WORD ON THEIR OWN WHICH IS NOT DANGEROUS.

John 6:45 It is written [scriptum] in the PROPHETS,
        "And they shall be all TAUGHT of God.
         Every man therefore that hath HEARD,
         and hath LEARNED of the Father, COMETH unto ME

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly RECEIVED his WORD were BAPTIZED NOT:
        and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Those who BELIEVETH NOT OR APISTOS and do not COMPLY in baptism will not be owned by Jesus and are defined as THE TREACHEROUS.

Bill Lawrence and the stolen church is not, can not be Christians. Christians do not conspire to steal the church family for their own purposes: that is the meaning of Heresy or Sectarian.
Milton Jones and Bill Lawrence slipped into a wonderful, pioneer church in Seattle. The VANGUARD program was really the CROSSROADS pattern to swarm a church with idea of lying , cheating and stealing the property of a godly congregation.

Among pagans, words were not for information but for controlling the forces of the universe. If you had "charisma" which according to H.B. Parkes, possessed irrational, emotional or sexual abnormalities.

John.Mark.Hicks

John Mark Hicks rejects the CENI or Regulative Principle which is Anti-God and Anti-Christ based on:
1. His on emotional experience which turned him and LU ecumenical, the Kosmos or the Kingdom of the Devil at war against the Kingdom or Church of Christ.  The Ecumenical followed the Laws of Sophia or musical and Sexually Deviant worship. Scripture provides no PATTERN for hired-hand WORSHIP where worship demands to FALL ON YOUR FACE IN REVERENCE AND GODLY FEAR.
2. John Mark Hicks worked with sincere denominational churches and therefore in imagination DECIDED that his own imagination TRUMPED Holy Scripture which defines itself as CENI or Regulative Principle.

John.Mark.Hicks.Worship.in.Spirit.and.Truth.John.4

THEOLOGY rejects the ONE GOD (Theos) and ON LORD (Kurios) and the meaning of Christian-Disciple-Student only.  A theologian is strongly deluded but BELIEVES that he is capable of ENHANCING the Work of God.

PROOF ONE: WHY JOHN MARK HICKS AND THE POST-BIBLICAL THEOLOGIANS CANNOT BE CHRISTIANS.

John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you:
         but he that sent me is TRUE;
        and I SPEAK to the world those things which I HAVE HEARD OF HIM
John 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
        When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
        then shall ye know that I am he,
        and that I do nothing of myself;
        but as my Father hath TAUGHT me, I SPEAK these things.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
         the Father hath not left me alone;
        for I do always those things that please him.
John 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

WHY JOHN MARK HICKS IS TO HOSTILE BECAUSE HE KNOWS

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in  MY WORD, THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

John Mark Hicks, therefore, cannot be a Disciple-Christian-Student only

Continue is the ONLY worship word while spiritually FALLING ON YOUR FACE

Strongly Deluded, Hicks claims that THE HOLY SPIRIT is the CAUSE  or AUTHOR of Worship.

SPIRIT produces WORDS.
SPIRIT is never a person.
SPIRIT is Personified as APOLLYON the leading spirit of the LOCUSTS or MUSES his prostitute Musical Worship Mistresses. A prostitute sells any body part claiming that they speak for god.

1Tim. 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Tim. 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Tim. 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
        and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD

        the MAN Christ Jesus;
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,

Jesus defines exactly the MARK of a Disciple or Christian. Anyone who profiteers out of Theology or a Performed Worship service is not and cannot be a Christian

Acts 17 says that God is NOT worshipped by any thing MADE (songs, sermons) by the hands of man.
Worship is defined in 1 Timothy 2 where Paul silences both male and female so that all might be SAFE and come to a knowledge of The Truth, the Word or Logos as Regulative Principle which--in decent Greek society--outlaws the exact ACTS performed by "Worship Centers."

John Mark Hicks LU: Economic Trinitarianism

We cannot begin with abstract ideas of threeness and oneness in discussing the Trinity.
        Instead, we begin with the concrete threeness of the Christian Scriptures.
        The starting point for Trinitarian thinking is the narrative of God where the
        Father, Son and Spirit participate in revelatory events (historical acts).

ALWAYS: Father thinks, Father breaths (spirit) Son articulates invisible breath into audible words: that is stated in absoluteley clear terms.

Christians did not begin talking about threeness because they were fond of the number.
         Rather, as they experienced God in Jesus
         through the Holy Spirit, they spoke in terms of three.

The discussion of the godhead began when Arius denied the supernatural role of Jesus Christ. The Creeds agree with Scripture:

There is ONE God the Father
There is one Lord Jesus Christ
As an afterthought: "and we believe in the Holy Spirit" but not included in the Father-Son relationship.

John Mark Hicks LU: The starting point for understanding the Trinity is the economic Trinity—God’s self-revelation in the narrated history of redemption.

Jesus, the Son, prayed to the Father who poured out the Spirit upon him.

The Man Jesus of Nazareth prayed to HIS Father in heaven Who commissioned Him as the SPERM of Abraham. God BREATHED on the Son who spoke WORDS and became--when He first spoke--the Son or Word of God.

This economic revelation is an authentic revelation of the God’s own identity (immanent Trinity, e.g., God’s own transcendent life before the creation). In the history of redemption, the one God is revealed as, in some sense, three.

The God of Israel is one God. There is no other. Israel confessed this monotheistic faith through the Shema: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one” (Deuteronomy 4:6).

Paul unpacked the Shema where the Father is the one God and the Son is the one Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6). Christians reinterpreted the Shema as the affirmation of God’s community as well as unity.

Paul and all of the Epistle writers loose the phrase "The Holy Spirit" which is Christ revealing to them and all of the salutations recognize

One God the Father in Heaven
One man whom God made to be both Lord and Christ as the ONE MEDIATOR.
Those who deny this one-one view of God John calls antichrist.  

Genesis 41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one:
        God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one father?
        hath not one God created us?
        why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother,
        by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

JESUS LEFT MONOTHEISM PACKED SO HE CANNOT BE UNZIPPERED:

Mark 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master,
        Thou hast said the truth: for there is one God;
        and there is none other but he:
Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding,
        and with all the soul, and with all the strength,
        and to love his neighbour as himself,
        is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mark 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly,
        he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.
        And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God,
         which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

1Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
        and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the man Christ Jesus;
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God;
        thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  

FATHER AND SON ARE ONE UNITED AS THEOS IS WORSHIPPED LIKE THE FATHER?

John Mark Hicks LU: The Son reveals the Father since he is one with the Father. The confessed identity of the Son—distinct in person but united as theos—moved Christians to WORSHIP the Son along with the Father (Revelation 5:13).

The LAMB was not born as A GOD:

Rev. 5:12 Saying with a loud voice,
        Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
        to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father:
        and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
        neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
        and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
        and to come unto the knowledge of THE TRUTH [Word, Logos, Regulative Principle].

John M weark Hicks  the Son reveals the Father since he is one with the Father

Jesus explains "one" to mean that He and the Father spoke were UNITED. The word AND or KAI proves that the the Father and the SON are not the same PERSON..
1Tim. 2:5 For there is [unus] GOD [A Single]
        and ONE [unus] mediator    [Intercessor, Comforter, Parachete 1 John 2]
        between God and men, THE MAN JESUS CHRIST

HOWEVER:
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;
        and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are ONE

UNUM 1. Adverbial expressions.
a. Ad unum, all together, unanimously, to a man, without exception:
b. In unum, into one, to one place, together:

“unius modi,” id. Univ. 7.—Esp., uno ore, with one voice, all together, unanimously:

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:
        the works that I DO IN MY FATHER'S NAME
        they bear witness of me.
John 10:26 But ye believe not,
        because ye are not of my sheep,
        as I said unto you.

1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be TESTIFIED in due time.
1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ORDAINED a preacher, and an apostle,
        (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

Nope! The Father reveals His Word to the Son when He breaths spirit on him. Jesus of Nazareth even as the personified Word did not bring any words with him "because" he was one of the god people:

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
        for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [meter?] unto him.
John  3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not:
        for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
        hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
         the same shall judge him in the last day.

John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself;
        but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment,
        what I should say, and what I should speak.
John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
        whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Father, Son and Spirit are NOT the names of people except in the pagan TRIADS: remember that Thomas wanted to SEE the Father expecting that Jesus would show Him another person:

THESIS:           All pagan triads were father, mother and infant son.
ANTITHESIS:  God vizualizes Himself as ALL that the pagans distributed in triads

THE PROMISE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MEANS JESUS IS IN THE STATE OF "HOLY SCRIPTURE.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit which Jesus Received as His continuing king and high priest over His kingdom was a COMMISSION:  We will all be "changed" but we have not been made "both Lord and Christ" to be the Incarnate Word.

When Jesus, the Son of God, ascended to the right hand of the Father,
        the Father through 
       the Son poured out the Holy Spirit upon Israel at Pentecost (Acts 2).

Jesus promised that He would come again as Paracklete and He came in Spirit form at Pentecost.

Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
        and [Jesus] having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
        he [Jesus] hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

What they HEARD and SAW were the symbols of FIRE and WIND sent to thresh out the viper race.
In John 14:18 Jesus said I will come to you.
In1 John 2 the NAME of the "another Comforter" was Jesus Christ the Righteous.

This is the promise for us all
1Corinthians 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy:
        and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
        we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren,
        that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
        neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
        but we shall all be changed,
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
        for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
        and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
        and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
        then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself,
        The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,  [promise
Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
                both Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, [Jesus] and having received of the Father the promise OF the Holy Ghost, HE hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.  He Who poured out WIND and FIRE in the upper room is the same parakletos: different in some respects but not heteros. 33 tē dexia oun tou theou hupsōtheis tēn te epaggelian tou pneumatos tou hagiou labōn para tou patros exekheen touto ho humeis kai blepete kai akouete.

You cannot crucify one of the imagined god people.

John Mark Hicks LU: By this Spirit believers cry out to the Father through the Son as “Abba” (Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:15-17).

Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
        but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The spirit OF adoption is that mental attitude of an orphan who has been adopted.

Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons,
        God hath sent forth the Spirit OF his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

This is not an indwelling "people" but the mental disposition of a Son.

John Mark Hicks LU: The Incarnate Son was the FIRST Paraclete, [Jesus was comforter in the flesh[
the Spirit is the “OTHER Paraclete” whom the Son promised he would send from the Father (John 14:16).

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father,
        and he shall give you another Comforter, [g875  parakletos]
        that he may abide with you for ever, that he may abide with you for ever
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless ]: I will come to you.

When Jesus died, was resurrected, glorified and ascended to the Father from Whom all spirits come He received the promise of that Holy Spirit state we shall all receive when we are CHANGED.  He returned in the form of wind and fire at Pentecost and "shed forth that which ye see and hear."

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
        And if any man sin, we have an advocate [g875  parakletos] with the Father,
        Jesus Christ the righteous:

Another means different in some respects but NOT heteros: Jesus comforted in the flesh: as Holy Spirit He would continue to Comfort and we know the NAME of the Holy Spirit in another sesne

1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the man Christ Jesus;

THE SPIRIT ENABLES COMMUNION OF FATHER-SON AND MEANS OF HEARING CHRIST

John Mark Hicks LU: The Spirit appears as the medium of the communion of Jesus with the Father and the means by which believers participate in Christ. This is clear in terms of the resurrection and the indwelling of the Spirit in Rom. 8:11-15. 

WORDS TRANSLATED SPIRIT IN NO LANGUAGE OR ANCIENT LITERATURE EVER DEFINES A GOD OR PERSON

Spirit never means a "People."  Spirit is WIND or in a figurative sense BREATH: The Father breathes out the Words of the Father (only) and the Son articulates the invisible wind into Words: that is why the Logos is the Word of the ONE GOD.

Paul never treats "the holy spirit" as a person. When He appeared to Paul to guide him into all truth and to appear to him when required He said 'I am Jesus of Nazareth."

Rom 8:1 THERE is therefore now no condemnation to them
........ which are in Christ Jesus,
........ who walk not after the flesh, [human]
........ but after the Spirit. [human]

Rom 8:2 For the law of the
........ Spirit OF life in Christ Jesus [we are baptized into Christ]
........ hath made me free from the law of sin and death. [and free from the Law of "observations"]
Rom 8:3 For what THE LAW could not do, in that it was weak through THE FLESH,
........ God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin IN the flesh:

Pr 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold,
........I will pour out my SPIRIT that unto you,
........I will make known my WORDS which unto you.
Pr 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
Pr 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
........ who walk not after the flesh, [human]
........ but [walk] after the spirit.[human] [WE have the MIND of Christ which is the SPIRIT]

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then
........with the MIND I myself serve the law of God;
........but with the FLESH the law of sin. Rom 7:25

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that TURN [CONVERT] from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. Isa 59:20
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord;
...........My SPIRIT that is UPON thee, and
.......... my WORDS which I have put in thy mouth, [Note the parallelism]

It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

.......... shall not depart out of thy mouth,
.......... nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
l..........nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed,
.......... saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever. Isa 59:21

Rom 8:5 For they that are AFTER the flesh do MIND the things of the flesh; [human]
........but they that are AFTER the Spirit, [do MIND] the things OF the Spirit. [ours when cleansed]
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death: [ours]
........but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [ours]
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
........for it is not subject to the law of God,
........neither indeed can be.
Rom 8 So then they that are IN the flesh cannot please God.:8
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but IN the Spirit, [not inside of]
........if so be that the Spirit OF God dwell in you.
........Now if any man have not the Spirit OF Christ, he is none of his.
Rom. 8:10  And if Christ BE IN YOU
    the body [your] is dead because of sin;
    but the [your] Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom. 8:11 But if the Spirit OF HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
        he [GOD] that raised up Christ from the dead
        shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his [GOD'S] Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom. 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, 
    not to the flesh [your] to live after the flesh.
Rom. 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
        but if ye through the Spirit [your] do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit OF GOD they are the sons of God.
Rom. 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage [mental disposition]
        again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit OF adoption, [mental disposition] 
        whereby WE cry, Abba, Father.

HICKS: COMMUNION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT-SCRIPTURE MEANS COMMUNICATION

1Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless,

        is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?
        The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

2Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
2Corinthians 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong:
        and this also we wish, even your perfection.
2Corinthians 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent,
        lest being present I should use sharpness,
        according to the power which
        the Lord hath given me to edification [education], and not to destruction.

Condition: 2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort,
        be of one mind, live in peace;
Result: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

2Corinthians 13:12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
2Corinthians 13:13 All the saints salute you.
2Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
        and the love of God,
        and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Harvey Floyd: The word with (in Jn 1:1) implies communion, the association (alliance, organization, league, club) of persons.  As literally as this can be translated,
      it is 'the Word was face to face with (confronting, disputing, in the face of, countering) God,
    he was toward God (pros ton theon)...
There are two actors (cast of characters) in the drama (play, show, performance),
        and they are face to face with each other. 
        They are on the stage at the same time... What we have is the doctrine of the Trinity:
        that God is a triad,
        that God is one God indeed, but his unity is a complex unity,
        a unity that exists in diversity. (Floyd, Harvey, Is the Holy Spirit for Me, p. 12, 20th Century Christian.)

The Word or LOGOS is God's Regulative Principle

Is. 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither,
        but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud,
        that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Is. 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
        it shall not return unto me void,
        but it shall accomplish that which I please,
        and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it
This proves that the Lord and the Spirit are not members of the "god" family.

Thesis: John Mark Hicks: The Spirit is the one through whom we have fellowship with God—         the Spirit is the presence of God among us since Jesus did not leave us as orphans (John 14:18).
	John 14:16 And I will pray the Father,         and he shall give you another Comforter, [g875  parakletos]                that he may abide with you for ever John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,         because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:         but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. What is the Name of the "different in some respects" Comforter? 1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.         And if any man sin,         we have an advocate [g875  parakletos] with the Father,         Jesus Christ the righteous: 1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only,         but also for the sins of the whole world. 1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,         is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word,         IN HIM verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are IN HIM
Thesis: John Mark Hicks: The Christian experience of God is a communion with the Father, Son and Spirit.     The presence of the Spirit is our communion with the Father through the Son     (2 Corinthians 13:14;

[4] 1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.         And if any man sin,         we have an advocate [g875  parakletos] with the Father,         Jesus Christ the righteous: [4]  John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 1Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless          is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?         The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? [5]   2Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2Corinthians 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong:         and this also we wish, even your perfection. 2Corinthians 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent,         lest being present I should use sharpness,         according to the power which         the Lord hath given me to edification [education], and not to destruction. Condition: 2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell.         Be perfect, be of good comfort,         be of one mind, live in peace; Result: and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 2Corinthians 13:12 Greet one another with an holy kiss. 2Corinthians 13:13 All the saints salute you. 2Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,         and the love of God,         and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. Harvey Floyd: The word with (in Jn 1:1) implies communion, the association (alliance, organization, league, club) of persons.  As literally as this can be translated,       it is 'the Word was face to face with (confronting, disputing, in the face of, countering) God,     he was toward God (pros ton theon)... There are two actors (cast of characters) in the drama (play, show, performance),         and they are face to face with each other.          They are on the stage at the same time... What we have is the doctrine of the Trinity:         that God is a triad,         that God is one God indeed, but his unity is a complex unity,         a unity that exists in diversity. (Floyd, Harvey, Is the Holy Spirit for Me, p. 12, 20th Century Christian.) Q. SIMPLE SIMON: "WHAT DOES THE WORD MEAN".

	Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,         that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not:         for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. The assembly in the entire Old Testament met to communicate the Word of God:  both vocal and instrumental rejoicing was excluded for the synagogue so any kind of praise was speaking that which was written for their learning at that time and place.  Communicate includes meeting any physical need of the ekklesia but more importantly it communicated the literature ordained by Christ for that purpose.  Commūnĭo , ōnis, f. communis, I. a communion, mutual participation (several times in Cicero, elsewhere rare). littĕra (less correctly lītĕra ) favor I.

For as there is a path from all cities to our city, and as the road to all other cities is open to our citizens, so also, in proportion as each city is more closely united with us in alliance and friendship, by agreement, and covenant, and treaty, the more does that state appear to me to be entitled to a participation in our kindness and in our rewards.         But all other cities would without any hesitation receive our men into the rights of citizenship with them if we also had the same laws that other nations have.

God didn't goof and change His Mind for the godly people to gather at the synagogue quarantined from the sacrificial altar. Since God changes not in this sense, Jesus approved of the synagogue (not the show offs) and commanded the church defined as ekklesia or synagogue.  The Lord's Supper reminded the assembly of the Death of Jesus as the Passover was observed at the gatherings under the Law. Therefore, there are only TWO ACTS OF WORSHIP.   Paul didn't sermonize till midnite: he DIALOGED. Quint.

Ephesians 2:18, 22).
    Consequently, the very structure of salvation within Pauline texts (as an example) is triune (three-fold). Here are a few representative texts: 1 Corinthians 12:4-6: “the same Spirit…the same Lord…the same God.”Ephesians 2:18: “for through him [Christ] we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.”
Ephesians 4:4-6: “one Spirit…one Lord…one God and Father of us all.”
2 Corinthians 1:21-22: “God who makes both us and you to stand firm in Christ…set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts.”
Galatians 4:4-6: “God sent his Son, born of a woman…because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts.”
Titus 3:4-6: “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior….He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior.”

The three are one in their divine work to redeem humanity. The Father elects through the redemptive work of Christ as the Spirit renews God’s love in our hearts. This is a divine work from beginning (election) to end (transformation) which the Father accomplishes through his Son in the power of the Holy Spirit.

John Mark Hicks LU: Johannine Trinitarianism

The Farewell Speech in the Gospel of John (chapters 14-16) depicts God as a three-fold (communal) unity. The four triune statements in the speech underscore the distinct personal identity of the Father, Son and Spirit but their shared communion in the unitary work of redemption and shared life

(John 14:16-17;

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father,
        and he shall give you another Comforter, [g875  parakletos] 
         that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the Spirit OF truth; whom the world cannot receive,
        because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
        but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Trinitarians cannot quote verse 18:

John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN THE SAME JOHN SAID:

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
        And if any man sin,
        we have an advocate [g875  parakletos] with the Father,
        Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only,
        but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word,
        in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

14:26;

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
        whom the Father will send in my name,  [The Spirit's name is Jesus Christ the Righteous]
        he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
                whatsoever I have said unto you.

15:26;

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come,
        whom I will send unto you from the Father,
        even the Spirit of truth,
        which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness,
         because ye have been with me from the beginning.

The Spirit OF truth is the "mental disposition" of the truth Jesus in the flesh taught: He is not incompetent needing ANOTHER person to remind the Apostles of what He (Jesus) taught them.  This "spirit" has NO words of its own any more than our "breath" can originate words.

16:7, 16).

The shared communion is characterized by love and mutual indwelling. This is quite explicit in the relationship between the Father and Son as each dwells in the other and they share a love for each other (John 14:10-11; 15:9; 17:21, 26).

Jesus used the word PROVERBS in John 16

The Gospel of John pictures what some have called the “mystery of divine interpenetration” or “inness” (John 10:38; 14:10, 20; 17:21, 23). It represents an ineffable union, an intimacy transcending our finitude. Even though they are one, they are not one person. It is a unity in community—a communal oneness; it is organic and familial. The Father, Son and Spirit live in full transparency, love and mutuality.

John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father,
         and ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: a
        nd he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
        and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
        If a man love me, he will keep my words:
        and my Father will love him,
        and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Only the ONE GOD the Father and the One Lord and Christ the man Jesus of Nazareth are involved in the inwardness, abiding, manifesting of God's Word.  No one has the literal God living inside of them nor the one Jesus of Nazareth as the Son-Word INSIDE of them.

The Spirit represents and is the medium by whom the Father and Son continue their work in the redemptive story once the Son goes to the Father (John 16:28).

Father Thinks, Spirit Breathes, Son Speaks: The Breath of God is never a separated GOD PERSON, otherwise, neither are competent.  MY breath represents or is the carrier or medium by which MY thoughts are conveyed as MY own Words.

John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
         again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
John 16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
John 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

As Jesus glorifies the Father and not himself, so the Spirit does not glorify himself but the Son (John 16:14). Precisely by not speaking of himself but bearing witness to Jesus, he shows himself to be the Spirit of truth. Distinct from the Father and the Son, he nevertheless belongs to both.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away:
        for if I go not away, the Comforter [Jesus as Holy (adjective) Spirit form]will not come unto you;
        but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
John 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he,
        the Spirit OF truth, is come,
        he will guide you into all truth:
             for he shall not speak of himself;
             but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
            and he will shew you things to come.
John 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
        therefore said I, that he shall take of mine,
        and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again,
        a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

The Triune God is the epitome of unity and diversity—united as theos they are also a community of love. They are the ground of the cosmos—God as Being-in-Relation. The cosmos is, at its root, both one and many, both one and three. Relationality is the cosmic ontology and this is rooted in the Christian doctrine of Trinity.

Since I don't understand that, I will tell you that Jesus ssaid that we are NOT of the World and He would/will not pray for the world:

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that,
        denying ungodliness and WORLDY lusts,
        we should live soberly, righteously, and godly,
        in this present world;

John Mark Hicks LU: Iconic Trinitarianism

ICONIC TRINITARIANISM: MEN OR ANGELS SENT TO DESTROY THE SODOMITES.

Andrei Rublev painted the “Holy Trinity” around 1411. He was beatified by the Russian Orthodox Church as “St. Andrei” solely for the extraordinary intensity and majesty of this icon. The image embodies the essence of Trinitarian dogma.

The icon portrays the visit of the angels to Abraham in Genesis 18 but excludes Abraham and Sarah from the picture in order to focus on the dogmatic meaning of the Trinity. The three sit around a table with a chalice as the centerpiece.

The figure on the left—the Father—is arrayed in an indistinct gold (a transcendent tone),
the figure in the middle—the Son—in brown (an earthy tone),
and the figure on the right—the Holy Spirit—in green (the vibrancy of living earth).
Each one is also dressed in blue to represent their equality—they are divine.
The unity and diversity of the triune life is thus pictured in vivid colors.

Gen. 18:1 And the LORD [3068 YHWH] APPEARED to him in the vale of Mambre as he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day. [AND] Gen. 18:2 And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him THREE MEN [h582] standing near to him: and as soon as he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and bowed himself toward the ground,     He saw 3 MEN h582 [frail, feeble, desperately wicked, sick: Enosh: a mortal and not the more dignifie h120 , Latin vīrus , I.a slimy liquid, slime. A poisonous liquid, poison, venom, virus (syn. venenum). Futtĭlis  untrustworthy, vain, worthless, futile: used of Eve. Gen. 18:3 And said, My Lord, [136.Adonay], if now I have found favour in THY sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Gen. 18:4 Let a little WATER, I pray you, be fetched, and WASH YOUR FEET, and rest yourselves under the tree: God does not send men wearing the noble dress of men or the effeminate. These were starving derelicts and not the wise or sophists from whom God hides.

 

	Gen. 19:1 And there came TWO ANGELS to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; Gen. 19:2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night AFTER THE ASSAULT OF THE SODOMITES Gen. 19:11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. Genesis 19:12 And the men said unto Lot,  Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters,and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: Genesis 19:13 For we will destroy this place,  because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. Gen. 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. Gen. 19:16 And while he lingered, the MEN laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; THE BLESSING PROVES THAT THEY WERE NOT THE YHWH IN THREE FORMS the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus,         who was made a little lower than the angels [as was mankind]         for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour;         that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,         in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Heb. 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of ANGELS; but he took on him the seed of ABRAHAM.

RUBLEV DEPICTS PERICHORESIS: LOVING DANCE OF THE TRIUNE PERSONS.

John Mark Hicks LU: Rublev depicts the theophany in an open circle with their heads gracefully inclined toward each other.
   The circular pattern embodies the theological idea of perichoresis— the loving dance of the Triune persons.

This is NOT a God idea but the circle dance performed mostly by women but engaged in by David when he danced and went naked with the slave girls.  The Stola of these dances was the garment of the prostitute.

God hath not flesh and bones and blood: and to make him into a male-male dance group slanders God.

RUBLEV "THEIR" FACES FILLED WITH LOVE: EUCHARIST IS COMMUNION WITH TRIUNE GOD.

John Mark Hicks LU: Their faces are filled with peace and harmony while their gestures are gentle and loving. The Father and Son look at each other lovingly
    while the Spirit looks at the chalice as if to descend upon the cup.
    The chalice represents the Eucharist which is the center of Orthodox liturgy and its theology of redemption.
    The Eucharist is communion with the Triune God.

Jesus commanded and Paul understood just the opposite

1Corinthians 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
        This cup is the new testament in MY BLOOD this do ye, as oft as ye drink it,
        in remembrance of me.
1Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup,
        ye do shew the ’LORD'S DEATH till he come.  

RUBLEV INVITES US TO INNER CIRCLE AS WE SIT AT GOD'S TABLE-PAGANISM

John Mark Hicks LU: The open circle invites others to come to the table and experience the divine community. We are invited into the inner circle of God’s own life to sit at the table of God with God.

Neo-Paganism Thesis Ps 50:7  Hear, O my people, and I will speak;         O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. Ps 50:8  I will not reprove [verify] thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings,         to have been continually before me. Ps 50:9  I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. All of the animals were created by God BEFORE mankind. If you kill CHRIST in the "eucharist" you blaspheme. Ps 50:10  For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. Ps 50:11  I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. Ps 50:12  If I were hungry,         I would not tell thee:         for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. Ps 50:13  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? UNIVERSAL ANTITHESIS Ps 50:14  Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:         Ps 50:15  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. THESIS Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool:         where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been,          saith the LORD: but to this man will I look,         even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit,         and trembleth at my word. ANTITHESIS Isaiah 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man;         he that sacrificeth a lamb,         as if he cut off a dog’s neck;         he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood;         he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol.                 Yea, they have chosen their own ways,                 and their soul delighteth in their abominations. Jesus said that those Christ identified as parasites and robbers--or hypocrites in Ezekiel 33 as speakers, singers and instrument players were KILLERS.  It would seem to be beyond redemption to have such a perverted view of God when no one could have misssed the point. Thuo I. Act., offer by burning meat or drink to the gods (“to thuein dōreisthai esti tois theois” Pl.Euthphr.14c), “theoisi de thusai anōgei Patroklon . . , ho d' en puri balle thuēlas” Il.9.219, cf. Plat.

RUBLEV PERICHORIC (DANCE) LOVE MEANS THAT "THEY" ARE VULNERABLE

John Mark Hicks LU: The perichoretic love within the Trinity is a love willing to be vulnerable that sovereignly decides to enter into relationship with others. This is the heart of who God is as Creator and Redeemer. All forms of human love, then, are faint reflections of that Triune love internal to God’s own life.

HOLY SPIRIT MEANS "GOD'S BREATH" AND DOES NOT DANCE WITH GOD.

THAT IS THE MEANING OF PERFORMING MUSICAL TEAMS: This defines David's naked dance where He made himself vile (halal) with the girls.

2Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

RUBLEV: COMMUNION OF DIVINE PERSONS MODEL THEOLOGY FOR COMMUNITY

John Mark Hicks LU: The communion of the divine persons is a model for human community: family, church, and society.
        The doctrine of the Trinity provides the theological resources for communal life and relationality.

We-in-the-plural images God (though it has been defaced by sin). This cautions against the individualism of modern culture as well as the individualistic soteriology of much modern theology (including Evangelicalism).

This communion is COMMUNICATION: The Spirit OF Christ communicates the Words of God which we have no right to change.

John Mark Hicks: The doctrine of Trinity assures us of God’s economic presence through the incarnation and indwelling Spirit.

God as Immanuel came in the flesh

1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
        He is antichrist, that denieth the FATHER and the SON

SPIRIT means that Father put his WORDS into the MOUTH of the SON-only

1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not
        that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
        and this is that SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST
        whereof ye have heard that it should come;        
        and even now already is it in the world.

2John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world,
        who confess not that JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH 
        This is a DECEIVER AND AN ANTICHRIST 

Luke 24:36 And as they thus spake,
        Jesus himself [NOT GOD] stood in the midst of them,
        and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Luke 24:39 Behold my HANDS and my FEET,
        that it is I myself: handle me, and see;
        for a SPIRIT hath not flesh and bones,
        as ye see me have.
AND:
John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John Mark Hicks:

NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT GOD'S SPIRIT SAID THROUGH ISAIAH.

Is. 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: AND HIS NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
        The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Matt. 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
        and they shall CALL HIS NAME Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

h6005. עִמָּנוּאֵל ꜥImmanuwʾel, im-maw-noo-ale´; from 5973 and 410 [EL] with a pronominal suffix inserted; with us (is) God; Immanuel, a type name of Isaiah’s son:—Immanuel.

Matt. 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
        and he called his name JESUS.

He was NOT EL nor YHWH: Jesus or Judah means YHWH SAVES.

John Mark Hicks: but now God dwells among us and within us as the Holy Spirit.

1Timothy 2:5 For there is ONE GOD
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;

3316. μεσίτης mesites, mes-ee´-tace; from 3319; a go-between, i.e. (simply) an internunciator, or (by implication) a reconciler (intercessor): — mediator.

1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be TESTIFIED in due time.
1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,
        (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;)
         a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

YOU WERE NOR ORDAINED A PREACHER OR APOSTLE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SEE OR HEAR THE VOICE OF HIS MOUTH AFTER HIS RESURRECTION.

THE ONLY THING A PREACHER OR HERALD CAN DO IS DELIVER THE MESSAGE WITHOUT "OPENING" IT A CRACK TO ADD ANY OF THEIR OWN WORDS. 

The presence of the Spirit is the presence of God who links heaven and earth (2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 2:18).

2Cor. 13:14 The grace of the Lord [Kurios] Jesus Christ,
        and the love of God, [Theos]
        and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the words that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life.

SPIRIT is figurative and always in the form: God put's His WORD into the MOUTH of Jesus.

commūnĭcātĭo  a making common, imparting, communicating.
anakoinōsis, in accordance with which one turns to his hearers, and, as it were, allows them to take part in the inquiry

Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers

PAUL SILENCED BOTH MALE AND FEMALE BEYOND READING THE WORD WHICH IS SPIRIT

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD [Theos],
        and ONE MEDIATOR

g3316. μεσίτης mesites, mes-ee´-tace; from 3319; a go-between, i.e. (simply) an internunciator, or (by implication) a reconciler (intercessor): — mediator

Note the conditional IF:

If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15
        And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another [fuller] Comforter, [g2875 Parakletos]
        THAT he may abide with you for ever; John 14:16

Is HE another little person to fit in your carnal body? NO. Spirit is PERSONIFIED and CODIFIED:

Even the Spirit OF truth; whom the world cannot receive,
        because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
        but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you,
        and shall be in you. John 14:17
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless [orphans]: I will come to you.

When Jesus died, was resurrected, glorified and ascended to the Father from Whom all spirits come He received the promise of that Holy Spirit state we shall all receive when we are CHANGED.  He returned in the form of wind and fire at Pentecost and "shed forth that which ye see and hear."

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
        And if any man sin, we have an advocate [g2875 Parakletos] with the Father,
        Jesus Christ the righteous:

g3875. παράκλητος parakletos, par-ak´-lay-tos; an intercessor, consoler: — advocate, comforter.

1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS
        is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth HIS WORD, in him verily is the love of God perfected:
        hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

 

Jesus of Nazareth appeared and and spoke to Paul to qualify him to let JESUS SPEAK.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and

were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, Acts 16:6 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. Acts 16:7

 
 

The Father did not orphan us, that is, he has not left us without his personal presence. That presence is not mediated by some inferior being, angel or mediator but by his own Spirit in our hearts. God is still with us as the indwelling Spirit.

 

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. John 14:10

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works sake. John 14:11

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12

Works means ERGS or the expenditure of suffering and sweat and blood: No, you do not hear the voice of God because NO MAN HEARETH God and that is why GOD came to us with vocal cords.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 14:14

That is why Peter understood baptism in the NAME of "father, son and spirit" meant baptize in the NAME of Jesus Christ (Jehovah-saves)

When Jesus died, was resurrected, glorified and ascended to the Father from Whom all spirits come He received the promise of that Holy Spirit state we shall all receive when we are CHANGED.  He returned in the form of wind and fire at Pentecost and "shed forth that which ye see and hear."

 

When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. Acts 16:7NIV, NAS, RSV, LIV

IT IS DELUSIONAL TO PROMOTE POLYTHEISM BASED ON A PAINTING -AN IDOL

Source The Clasical Trinity view began consistent with:

1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
   and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
     and one mediator between God and men,
     the man Christ Jesus;

God, then, having His own Word internal within His own bowels,
........... begat Him, emitting Him
........... along with His own wisdom before all things.

He had this Word as a helper in the things that were created by Him, and by Him He made all things.

He is called "governing principle", because He rules, and is Lord of all things fashioned by Him.
He, then, being Spirit of God, and governing principle, and wisdom, and power of the highest,
came down upon the prophets, and through them spoke of the creation of the world and of all other things. 
(This was the Spirit of Christ, 1 Peter 1:11; Revelation 19:10)

For the prophets were not when the world came into existence,

but the wisdom [Spirit in this instance is Sophia] of God which was in Him, and
........... His holy Word which was always present with Him.

John Mark Hicks LU: This is salvation. As the ancient Orthodox sang (Lossky, The Meaning of Icons, 201):

“The blessed Abraham saw the Trinity,
as far as man can,
and regaled It as a good friend.”
