The Godhead bodily.

This study may be a lot to take in for some. Carefully study and read the following with prayer, asking God to lead with His Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus Christ, His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased.

This study is kind of a follow up from the last post, although these studies can stand on their own, they are strengthened when studied together. So if you have not read the post called Connected click here to read it.

Because there is confusion spreading throughout Christianity, regarding who Christ is, as in, is He God, God, or the Son of God. Or was it God the Father that died or the Son of God that died on the cross for our sins. Many understand the truth, yet some are becoming confused now, and some are starting to reject Jesus the Christ, by saying that it was God Himself, as in the Father, that died on the Cross and not the Son. I’ve even heard that Christ is just another name for God Himself, and Christ is God, not the Son of God. These lies are only coming from the deceiver himself, Satan the father of lies, (note John 8:44) is deceiving and using people to do his work to discredit the Godhead bodily and remove the son out of the way.

“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” 1 Corinthians 11:3.

Explaining the Godhead bodily in its simplest form, that all may understand.

God tell us that even the simple, as I am, can understand the scriptures. Therefore, we need not be a university scholar to understand the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. We just need to study the word of God every day, asking for the guidance of His Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ. “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7. “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130.

God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one in character, mind and heart. Note Philippians 2:5-6, 11-15. Yet they are three, yet one. God the Father is not the Son, nor is He the Holy Spirit, yet the Son is of God and the Holy Spirit is of God; but God the Father is not of God, for He is GOD. The math is 1x1x1=1. Three entities, yet are one.

Jesus said, “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 15:26.

For the Son of God see these examples in the following verses, Matthew 8:29; 14:23; 16:16; John 10: 36; 11:4. And for the Spirit of God, see these examples in the following verses, Genesis 1:1; Romans 8:9, 14; 15:19; 1 Corinthians 12:3; Ephesians 4:30.

Yet the Three dwell in the fulness of the Godhead Bodily. Example, “For in him (Jesus the Son of God) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:9. Christ has God Father in Him, and the Holy Spirit in Him. Including Christ Himself is the fullness of the Godhead Bodily.

When we give ourselves to God, through Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour, filled with the Holy Spirit, our body is of Christ. “… but the body is of Christ.” Colossians 2:17, KJV. Therefore, we are connected to the Godhead bodily through Christ Jesus our Saviour. Read Colossians 2. Yet this does not make us God. But we are connected to Him through Christ. Philippians 2:15. Because we are of Christ, it does not make us Christ. Yet it does make us one with Him.

Throughout, the New Testament Jesus prays to God the Father, this shows they are separate individuals of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 3:1, we also are told that Christ is sitting on the right hand of God. It is so important to understand this. As Christ Jesus is the Son of God, He is not the Father, He is the Son of the Father God. We must confess that Christ is who He is, in order for Christ to confess us before His Father. Jesus said, “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33. To confess Christ, we must believe in Him as the Son of God, and walk in the Commandments of God. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12.

To believe and keep the Commandments, yet reject to Son, is to reject the Father as well. If we do not believe in the Words of God when He said, “… from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17 (Note 2 Peter 1:17) then keeping the commandments can never be done in full. We straight away break the first Commandment, for if we truly have no other gods before God the Father, we would believe in His beloved Son, Christ Jesus, “… the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29. Also study John Chapter 5.

“And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” Acts 8:36,37.

When God spoke with His voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” .Matthew 3:17. He really was saying, “My beloved Son.” God has a Son, and His Son die for us. Just like in the example God gave us when He asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Read Genius 22. Here, Abraham did not try to sacrifice himself, but his son. God the Father Himself, did not Sacrifice Himself, but the Son He did give and Jesus willingly lay down His life to be sacrificed. The Son of God, was the Lamb of God. God The Father was not the Lamb of Himself. “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;” Mark 1:1. “And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.” John 6:69.
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7, KJV. Read John chapter one where get the understanding that the Word is Jesus Christ Himself, the Son of God.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” (John 1:1-3, KJV) In these verses we see that Jesus, the Word, is called God also, but then it says He was with God. It is simply saying that, The Son God was with the Father God.

The best way to help us understand this, is that we all in most cases, have a last name. We are in a family and if someone calls us by our last name, it does not make us our father, but it definitely shows that we are of our father, earthly father.

An earthly example to help us understand: Bill Jones, has a son called Jack Jones, yet everyone calls Jack, by His last name, Jones. This does not make him the father, Bill Jones, but it definitely shows that Jack is the son of Bill Jones. This is the same with Jesus. He is the Son of God the Father.

Jesus was asked a question and He answered it regarding a man and a women in marriage, by “The Pharisees” that said “unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. …” Matthew 19:3-6. Yet in marriage there are two, Male and Female two individuals yet they are one.

The Bible calls Jesus, God, and yet God the Father is also called God, as we see in these verses of John 1:1-3. Jesus, the Word, God, was with God, meaning with God the Father.

As we read through the first chapter of John, we will see that the three of the Godhead bodily are all call by whom they are Known in individual terms of the Godhead bodily; The Word, God, Father, Son, Jesus, Christ, Spirit, Holy Ghost and so on.
Verses 14 & 18 of John 1, show the individuality of God the Father & God the Son. Verse 33 the individuality of the Spirit. This verse is not saying God the Father was descending, but the Spirit, Holy Ghost, in whom they baptized with.

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one, yet Three, in the Godhead bodily. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Matthew 28:19.

We do not need to be confused; with the right precept, we just need to believe by faith that there are Three individuals in the Godhead bodily, yet they are One. We, the Church, which are those who fit in with, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12, are one body in Christ Jesus, yet we are made up of many individuals. “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” 1 Corinthians 12:27. “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 17:11.

Because this was a lot to take in, continue studying Carefully with prayer, asking of God to lead with His Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus Christ, His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased.

Stay connected with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit the Comforter; The Godhead Bodily.
