The Father is not the son, the son is not the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is not the Father, but all 3 equal God! 3 in one! Whole and complete. 3 is Gods fav number right up there with 7!

Hello Zahem. Your logic has some merit, but your theology and understanding of Christian belief is incorrect.

In the book of Exodus, God appeared to Moses in a burning bush, but the flame was not all that God is. This is a theophany, a manifestation of God in the Bible that is tangible to the human senses. In Jesus, God also appeared to us, in a way that we could best understand, in human form. Why could not, and would not, our Creator do that for us?

Of the twelve disciples of Jesus, John was the one who most understand His spiritual nature. Consider what John wrote in the first book of John:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

To understand spiritual matters, we need to see things through the Spirit, not through the eyes of humans. The “Son of God” and “Son of Man,” as Jesus is called, is a spiritual expression of His deity and humanness, not a direct analogy to human biological concepts.

I highly recommend reading the entire Gospel of John to get a much deeper understanding of what Jesus taught and did to reveal the true nature of God. You can read it here online:

I also recommend getting a study bible version, such as the Life Application Study Bible, as it has footnotes that explain the historical, cultural and theological context of the scripture. This is available in digital format here:

Our God surpasses human understanding, so we cannot apply human logic if we want to truly understand and know Him.

Praise be unto Him, and may His blessings be unto you.

If the Lord is God (Joel)
and Jesus is Lord, (Corey)
then according to your reasoning / math
Jesus = God ?
Wasn’t Jesus the son of God?
the Son of God ≠ God

I think it’s because He wants people to search for Him! 😉 He loves it when we search Him out! Wouldn’t you get a smile out of your creations searching you out? Just a thought! 🙂

And the Lord IS God!

I agree, however we have a large segment of the population that are mathematically illiterate. It is a shame that they miss out on the many things that God reveals in numbers. You might find a new book “The Bar Code Puzzle” very interesting.
