​triune god

 

 

All religions have objects of faith. Buddhism believes in Buddha and Islam believes in Allah. However, behind the object of their faith, Satan is at work. Christianity is a religion that believes in the Trinity, who is the true God. The Trinity means that God exists as the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son in different Persons, but the essence is the same. The doctrine of the Trinity, which is currently accepted by Christians, started to be mentioned in the early church, and it was summarized by Augustine around the 4th century, and if anyone says anything different from this, it is the absolute and core doctrine of Christianity that condemns it as heresy. However, there is no one who can explain this clearly, and they only claim that it is a mysterious and esoteric providence of God.

 

Augustine's dream story, who wrote the vast book 'The Trinity', is famous. He asked him what he was doing when he saw in a dream a young child using a gourd to move seawater into a small puddle in the sand. Then the boy said, “I want to move all these seas.” Augustine said, “It is impossible, dear.” The child turned around and said, “You would rather use a human head than to move the sea water into this little puddle. There is an anecdote of waking up from a dream by hearing the words, "It is more foolish to try to understand the deep providence."

 

It can be said that God enlightened him through a dream how foolish it is to try to understand the providence of God with a human head. Nevertheless, up to now, countless human beings have been constantly speaking about God with their insufficient reason and knowledge. This man-made Christian doctrine is not only foolish and evil, but ultimately serves as a guide that leads to hell, contrary to God's will.

 

It is true that the Triune God exists in three different Persons. However, considering the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ as the same Spirit involves a serious problem. There are several reasons why a Christian who has no knowledge of the spiritual world perceives the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ as the same spirit. The first is that they do not know Paul's feelings at all and interpret the Bible verses he wrote in their own standards. Since Paul received the Spirit of Christ and the Holy Spirit almost simultaneously and worked together, he did not feel the need to explain the difference clearly.

 

Another reason is to confirm those who have received the Holy Spirit as those who have been saved. If we need to receive the Spirit of Christ other than the Holy Spirit, we will never admit that we are different because the salvation of Christians will be destroyed. The third reason is that no one in the history of Christianity has ever received the Spirit of Christ except Paul, so no one could explain this. Numerous theologians who have appeared so far claim that the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ are the same, so it is natural to accept this blindly without any doubt.

 

So, what is the true meaning of the Trinity? 'God the Father' is the one who creates and leads the angels (spirit realm) and all things in this world (material realm). In addition, in order to accomplish His will, He governs human history and rules the world with authority figures. Since God is everywhere in this world, He is in control of the life and death of all people, including believers and unbelievers. “For God makes his sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” [Matthew 5:45]

 

There is an old saying, “Intellect is Gamcheon”. When our ancestors prayed to heaven with great earnestness, God heard their prayers, so this proverb was born. Even unbelievers who do not know God at all pray earnestly in a desperate moment, God will answer their request through an angel. There has been a case in the past when a man who had drifted in the middle of the sea prayed for his life with all his heart, and a tortoise appeared and was rescued by riding on its back. This is what God has helped. In order to receive God's answers, you must pray with a heart that melts away your longings from the center of your heart. Even if prayers are answered in this way, this is only about the body and has nothing to do with eternal life.

 

The 'Spirit' is the Spirit of God, who controls the spirits of each person. All human beings who became servants of the devil due to the fall of Adam were under the control of the devil until Jesus was resurrected. However, the devil caused the innocent Jesus to die, and his many sins were exposed to the world, he was judged by God, and he was expelled from the throne of the world. As a result, to those who call on the name of Jesus, God forgives Adam's 'original sin', sends the Holy Spirit as a proof, and makes the Holy Spirit to rule over the human spirit and to make them realize that there is a spiritual world. God the Father works without discrimination on all things and on all people, but the Holy Spirit works specially only on those who call on the name of Jesus. Also, we need to realize that the salvation of Jews who lived under the law is complete when they receive the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit acts as a 'spiritual law' for Gentiles who have lived without any law.

 

Since Jews were born under the restrictions of the law, their hearts are fundamentally different from our Gentiles. If they break the law, evil comes in from outside, but since the field of their heart is not fundamentally evil, if they come to Jesus, their sins within them are solved and their heart is purified. And after that, if they received the Holy Spirit, they could live completely according to the Holy Spirit. In other words, the veil blocking the spirit and the soul was torn, so that we could completely obey the Holy Spirit. If they violated the Holy Spirit, there would be no meaning in living on this earth any longer, so God destroyed their bodies and saved their spirits. It was for this reason that Ananias and Sapphira in the book of Acts were put to death by deceiving the Holy Spirit.

 

The work of the Holy Spirit that came upon the Jews in the early church was remarkable. The Jews, who lived by the law, believed that God works directly through people, so the Holy Spirit worked strongly on the disciples, and many miracles and signs appeared. The Jews who saw these signs knew that this was not something that humans could do, so just by listening to the disciples and acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God, their sins were solved and the Holy Spirit came upon them. In the book of Acts, it is recorded that 3,000 Jews believed in one day at a time. The Jews who had received the Holy Spirit in this way were able to keep their faith in God until they lay down their lives.

On the other hand, the Gentiles had no way of knowing God because there was no law given and there was no prophet to preach the word. The gospel that began with Paul spread throughout the world, and when they heard the word someone preached and called on the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they became God's spiritual people. From then on, they recognize the existence of God and realize that there is a spiritual world like heaven and hell. However, when a Christian receives the Holy Spirit, at first, his heart is warm, as if he would pluck out his eyes, and he would give away all of his possessions.

 

In this way, the decisive reason why Gentiles cannot live by the Holy Spirit, unlike Jews, even if they receive the Holy Spirit, is that the sins in their hearts have not been resolved. Even if the Holy Spirit controls a person's spirit, a dead spirit is always working in his heart to commit sins. Sometimes, if you fast and pray earnestly and lead a life separated from the world, you can experience the filling of the Holy Spirit to some extent because the activity of the 'dead spirit' temporarily stops. However, when they are reunited with the world, sin begins to work. In this way, the Gentiles are constantly living a life of faith that goes back and forth between the Holy Spirit and the world. Jews can live according to the Holy Spirit because they believe in Jesus and have already received the Holy Spirit after the sins of the heart have been resolved. For Christians, the Holy Spirit only serves as a spiritual law and does not complete salvation.

 

One of the Trinity, the 'Saint' Christ, is the Son of God and takes on the role of solving the sins of mankind only. A serious misunderstanding of Christians is that they only think that the 'saint' came to Judea in the name of Jesus and is now resurrected and is in heaven as one spirit body. Also, because Jesus Christ has accomplished all these things, there is nothing more to do on this earth, and we think of Him as the one who intercedes for the saints at the right hand of God. And I serve him as an object of worship, but I do not consider him to be my master and guide me. This is where the mistakes of today's Christians begin.

 

In order for the salvation of the Gentiles to be completed, the old self (dead spirit) that dominated their hearts must depart and Christ must take the place as the master. Only then can we live fully according to the Holy Spirit without following the world. Amazingly, because Jesus was resurrected and became a Spirit, he can now come to each of us like the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit only controls the human spirit and cannot enter our hearts. Only Christ, who became the Spirit, can enter the human heart. The reason is that because Jesus had taken on a physical body, he was able to enter into people's hearts as a spirit. In this way, God exists in three different persons, and their work is clearly different, but from a sinless point of view, they are all the same. This is the true Trinity.

 

What is important here is the fact that the Son of God must come to this earth in person in order to solve the sins of mankind. Personality refers to the universal and common disposition that appears in a person. The reason why you have to come as a person is that you must first experience human life and live it in order to understand human emotions. However, since the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, He judges humans only as good and evil. If the law of the Holy Spirit is applied to humans as it is, no one will survive in this world. In order to prevent such evils, the Son of God comes in a person, understands human condition and circumstances, and personally comes to this earth to understand their feelings. For Christians, this would be unimaginable. Because they have never met Christ.

 

Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God who was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Judea two thousand years ago and came in human flesh. For 30 years before receiving the Holy Spirit, he was circumcised as a Jew, kept all laws, worked as a carpenter as a profession, and led an ordinary life. As Jesus lived an ordinary life, he was able to fully understand how difficult it was to keep the law and the feelings of the Jews who had no choice but to live in violation of the law.

 

Also, when Jesus was tempted by the devil in the midst of the worst physical suffering, he did not use the power given to him for his own benefit, but resolutely rejected it. Before his death on the cross, he felt the same fear of death as other humans, and he knew well how painful and difficult it was. In this way, although Jesus had all the attributes of a normal human being, he passed all the tests and obeyed even to the point of death, so he was finally recognized as the Son of God and became the Christ who can save mankind. The greatest reason Jesus could do this was that the Holy Spirit was able to completely take hold of him and use him. Because Jesus was born without original sin and did not commit any sin in his life, the Holy Spirit took over his heart, and he was able to accomplish all these things.

 

Because Jesus came in the form of a human being, he was able to fully understand the position of the Jews. Thus, he was able to have compassion on the sick who broke the law, and had mercy on tax collectors and prostitutes who humbled themselves as sinners, and blotted out their sins. If they were to be judged only by God's law, even though they were the sons of God, no one could survive before Him. However, Jesus had mercy on the Jews who called on his name and resolved the 'self-crime' that broke the law. Also, because he shed spotless blood on the cross, he freed anyone who believed in him from the devil, and even forgave the 'original sin' that Adam committed.

 

For the salvation of the Jews, Jesus came to this earth in the flesh so that he could understand the feelings of the Jews. He was resurrected and was in heaven, and then he came back to this earth personally as a spirit and as a person for the salvation of the Gentiles. For the salvation of the Jews, He came in a sinless body, but for the salvation of the Gentiles, He borrowed a sinful human body and came again as a spirit in His heart. Since the spirit cannot speak without being in the flesh, it must enter into people's hearts and use the human mouth.

 

The Holy Spirit comes at once through the shed blood of Jesus and rules the human spirit, but Christ comes as a Spirit into a person's heart like a tiny mustard seed. Therefore, only when you win the battle with the 'dead spirit' in the heart of man, you can become the Messiah who can save the Gentiles from their sins. All Christians who received the Holy Spirit lost to the 'dead spirit' in their hearts, but Christ won the battle with the 'dead spirit' in the human heart, so it becomes a savior to save the Gentiles from their sins. will be.

 

Why did Christ personally come back to this earth through the human heart? The reason is that just as he came as a Jew for the salvation of the Jews, he came as a person to know the attributes and feelings of the Gentiles to accomplish the salvation of the Gentiles. Unlike Jews, Gentiles are born in sin and are like dogs and pigs that eat and drink sin. Therefore, in order to know what kind of sin they have in their hearts and how they fall, he borrowed a foreign body and came to this earth again.

 

In this way, Christ, who came personally through man, has defeated the 'dead spirit' in his heart and is revealing the person of Christ through his lips. If you had only had the experience of coming to the land of Israel, you would never have been able to understand the Gentiles who eat and drink sin every day. However, since he shares life and death with them to the extent that he can understand each and every detail of their sinful nature and heart, he is able to show compassion to strangers as well. This is the will of God, and that is why Christ came before us personally.

 

If Christ judges good and evil by God's standards, then no Gentiles will survive before him. Also, even when judging Gentiles by the standards of the Jews, there are very few who will be saved. Moreover, even though Christians have received the Holy Spirit, they are all sinners who violate the Holy Spirit. Just as no Jew could keep the law perfectly, neither can Christians nor anyone live according to the Holy Spirit. Therefore, none of Christians can be saved unless they receive the mercy of Christ. Now Christ, who has come before the Gentiles, will reveal the hidden sins in order to convince them of the sins that are in their hearts.

 

At this time, those who admit their mistakes and come out will embrace him with boundless love and will enter again as the spirit (the Word) in that person. He will help them so that they will never again live in iniquity. Also, he will not judge them once, but he will be patient and preach the word until they turn from their sins. Thus, he will personally put into practice the love of 1 Corinthians 13, and he will show it to us directly.

 

“Christ is patient, Christ is kind, does not envy, Christ does not boast, is not proud, does not behave rudely, does not seek his own, Christ is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, and does all things endures all things, hopes all things, endures all things”

 

However, most people are more likely to ignore or oppose Christ, judging him rather than hearing the words of Christ speaking through a person like himself. They do not want to accept the word of life, because there must be a 'dead spirit' in them that will interfere. Those who humble themselves as ugly are likely to hear the word and come out. Just as tax collectors, prostitutes, and sick Jews who broke the law came to Jesus.

 

Now, when Christ, who came as a spirit through man, speaks personally before the Gentiles, the identity of each person will be revealed without hiding. Human beings are evil spirits, and because they are deceived by themselves and others as well, it is not easy at all to admit and come out when Christ speaks harsh words.

 

It is very difficult to accept the words of a human being who is inferior to you as the words of Christ. However, this is the will of God to save the Jews by sending Jesus to the land of Israel as a lowly being, so God will send His Son to this earth through a lowly person again to save the Gentiles and to judge them. We need to recall what Jesus said with the parable of the sheep and the goats:

 

“Then the king answered and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” For they will go into eternal punishment, and the righteous into eternal life.” [Matthew 25:45-46]
