Great thoughts on the Trinity by a Janet, a Facebook friend.

Janet Rice Sloane to Pieter (a Facebook friend), a few questions- who
do you say Christ Jesus is? (Is he an uncreated being as the Father
is? Has the Son always existed just as the Father has always existed).
Do you think we eventually end up as Jesus, as an un-created god-like
being? do you believe Jesus is coming back in the flesh to reign on
this earth? Why does Jesus say I go to sit at the right hand of the
Father and I will send another- the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter. He
speaks of Holy Spirit in the third person, not in first person
grammatical.

According to scripture, as far as I can logically reason, YHVH has
manifested Himself to mankind in three divine Persons: Abba [the
Father], Yeshua [literally "Salvation," the Son] and Ruach HaKodesh
[the Holy Spirit, literally "Breath"]. Yet all three Persons have but
one Name - God is Echdut (this One God may be referred to as Hashalush
Hakkadosh).

Thus, I believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons,
HaAv (the Father), HaBen (the Son) and Ruach Hakodesh (the Holy
Spirit), (Hashalush Hakadosh) and these three constitute ONE (echad)
God being coequal, cosubstantial, coeternal, and have the same
attributes, nature, perfections, and is worthy of the same worship,
confidence and obedience (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19,20; Mark
12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3,4; II Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:13;
Revelation 1:35).

The New Testament doctrine of the Trinity is evident in such a verse
as John 15:26, where the Lord Jesus said: "But when the Comforter is
come whom I will send unto you from the Father, He shall testify of
me."

Jesus doesn't send himself unto us or testify and glorify himself,
that is another's job, and that other is the Holy Spirit.

So we are in disagreement about the Trinity. Some of your thoughts are
provocative and extremely strange, but i will ponder as all knowledge
is useful.
