Triunity of the Godhead

[weishaupt1776]

Many have heard how The Lord sets up things in the agency of "threes"

which typify His triune nature.



I have also been taught how our single governmental structure with the three offices of Legislative, Judicial, & Executive may typify the governance of God.



After completing a Bible study of how each of His three offices affects the believer, I received an insight as to how our three offices in the government fit into the Godhead:



LEGISLATIVE: God the Father establishes His perfect Statutes & Commandments both as a guide for mankind & as a "schoolmaster" which shows how short we fall of God's absolute perfection & righteousness.



JUDICIAL: Jesus Christ, Son of God, holds the office of being the Righteous Judge of both the living & the dead. He will judge believers in Him according to how they conducted their affairs during their mortal existence.

He will judge unbelievers according to their disbelief , lack of trust, & lack of reliance upon Him ALONE as the One who paid the FULL PRICE on the Cross for the PENALTY of their sin & as the One who rose from the dead being victorious.



EXECUTIVE: The Holy Spirit who acts upon what has been legislated by the Father & what is to be decided by Yeshua by convicting the world of sin, righteousness & judgement.

I don't agree with the last part because the Holy Spirit was sent to act in place of Jesus when he left. The Holy Spirit was considered another Paraclete. Jesus was the first Paraclete and The Holy Spirit was/is the second.



The Executive Branch is the Enforcement branch so I would have to propose that the" Church" would fit this role more aptly.

Notes:



Paraclete:



\Par"a*clete\, n. [L. paracletus, Gr. ?, from ? to call to one, to exhort, encourage; ? beside + ? to call.] An advocate; one called to aid or support; hence, the Consoler, Comforter, or Intercessor; -- a term applied to the Holy Spirit.

True, True - Thanks for the post & the insight, KT



Din't Jesus say the He would leave us the Holy Spirit to the Believers here on earth?

Doesn't the Holy Spirit indwell the believer & therefore the Ecclesia?



Also in Thessalonians, there is a convention that the Holy Spirit is the One who is restraining the Kingdom of Antichrist.

>>Din't Jesus say the He would leave us the Holy Spirit to the Believers here on earth?

He said that he would send another Paraclete.

>>Doesn't the Holy Spirit indwell the believer & therefore the Ecclesia?

Well, the Ecclesia is composed of the body of believers so yes.

Also in Thessalonians, there is a convention that the Holy Spirit is the One who is restraining the Kingdom of Antichrist.

I see what you are saying here. Ok. So maybe as far as the Executive branch goes it is the Church which is empowered by the Holy Spirit.

I think you are missing the point of what Jesus said... He talked about another comforter then said that you know him and he dwells with you and shall be in you.... I will not leave you "comfortless" (as orphans or fatherless) I WILL COME TO YOU! We receive life when we recieve the Spirit of God which is the glorified Spirit of Christ. Christ in you the hope of Glory. The second Adam which was made a "LIFE" giveing SPIRIT!



I believe that Jesus was God manifested in the flesh.

No Diggity, No Dyowt

Before this thread continues, I would like to establish how our One True God expressed in Three Persons set up our one governmental structure in three administrations & how there is a typology that correlates each person in the Godhead with each branch of Govenment.

John 1:1 pretty much sums it up. Yep! In the begining was the Word. The Word was with God. The Word was God......The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Isn't that soooo cool!

Okay, just knockin' the dust off this one w/a different topic in which one entity is composed of threes.

A Trust involves an Executor, Trustee, & Beneficiary.

The Father Gave the Law & Commissioned His Son, so He would be the Executor.

The Son, Yeshuah, is the Trustee in that He is the advocate, mediator & Manager of the trust relationship.

The beneficiary is the Holy Spirit who indwells the believer so that the believer BENEFITS from the Trust.

P.S., If you want to discuss the original concept in the very first thread, that is OK, too.

Damn. And all this time I thought our government was following the ways of that really famous trinity:

Larry. Curly, and Moe.
