Hi Jeanie,

You are asking some very important questions, that ALL of us had to have asked some time or other in our 'New Birth' experience. Have you, Jeanie, been 'Born Again', as Jesus explained in John Chapter 3, verse 3+ ?

Jeanie, no one will be able to understand "Jesus Christ is God Incarnate", except through FAITH. You may recall that Russ typed that same FACT in those verses to Pwcca, not long ago. "For without faith it is impossible to please God."

So, how does one get this FAITH? "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God". The Holy Bible will speak and translate itself. Please do NOT use any other books, none! (except maybe a Bible Concordance or Dictionary).

What is FAITH? "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT seen." How can a person 'PLEASE' God? "Without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE the LORD."

Jeanie, you may recall that Moses wanted to SEE God, but God told Moses in Exodus Chapter 33: verse:20 ..."You cannot see MY face, for no man can see Me and live!" Therefore, we must BELIEVE all of what this Bible tells us about God.

You are absolutely correct in that the Virgin Mary was 'overshadowed by the Holy Spirit" and conceived in her womb-- whom the angel Gabriel explains in LUKE Chapter 1 beginning at verses 26 . There was NO SEX ....verse 35 "The angel answered and said to her "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High (God the Father) will overshadow you; and FOR THAT REASON the Holy Child shall be called the Son of God." Did you catch that, Jeanie? re-read that and ask the Lord to open your SPIRITUAL eyes, please.

In Colossians Chapter 1 verses 15 - 20 ; "He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of ALL creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible,....-all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is BEFORE all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church, and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

Now, dear Jeanie, CATCH these verses 19-20, "For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness (of the Godhead) to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven."

Because you know Jeanie that I DO NOT copy and paste, please KNOW that I prayed before typing any of the above scripture verses. In Hebrews 13:8 we read "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

Jesus Christ is the WORD: "...the Word was made flesh, and dwelth among us..." Jesus and God are ONE... "I and my Father are one." John 10:30. Jesus said,"...he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou , show us the Father? " (John 14:9)

As you can imagine,Jeanie, this is very tireing (the Holy Spirit is typing all this through me, for sure)...Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am " (John 8:58).

The Trinity is truly ALL FAITH, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Because we believe all of Genesis, knowing He spoke the world into existence, dare we doubt that He can also be three persons of the Godhead, in ONE?
Thank you, Jeanie, you have asked some important questions and may the Lord Jesus use these Words of His, to open the eyes of the spiritually blind, to see Him for Who He is.

SoSick, thank you for the great verses you gathered together to help clarify this. Thank you, Lynn Girl, for you definitions.

'Thank you, LORD JESUS, for showing all of us who 'YOU TRULY ARE, GOD IN HUMAN FLESH.'
Have a blessed day, Jeanie.
Sincerely, Abishag <><
His servant....
