Thread Name: BS: The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost
Subject: RE: BS: The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost
Yes, Little Hawk, I can see God from many angles. I'm just trying to figure out why the Christian, church fathers chose only 3 - the trinity. I thought it was a simple question but I guess not.

I also understand the idea of being filled with the Spirit of God. But the more I read, the more it seems that the Holy Spirit is considered to be separate from both the Father and the son, not indwelling.

Tinker - "Pneumatology" ??? Thanks for the name of the book. Years ago, I tried to answer this question with an essay in Anthropology. The prof. wrote, "I have no idea what you're talking about but I'm sure you understand it better than I." A-

I wanted to study Religion and the Humanities but couldn't find a practical use for it and needed to feed my family.

Thanks to all of you for your references. I will be busy reading all of them and trying to figure this out.





Well, Mark, what can I say. If I were there, I'd have to buy you a drink. Have one for me.
