I don't understand this. Did the Father die on the cross? Did the Holy Ghost rise from the dead? Will the Father subject himself unto himself (I Cor. 15:28)? Did the Holy Ghost learn obedience by the things which he suffered? Clearly they are three distinct persons yet one God. The problem here is folks are over thinking this subject and trying to figure out the whole thing with their little pea brains instead of believing what the scriptures plainly say.

You have heat waves, light waves and ultraviolet rays from the sun. All are distinct waves but at the same time make up one sun. This is a good illustration of the Trinity.
Actually Song, it is what the Scriptures plainly state that contradict your thinking here. For it is plainly stated that God is not a man. That no man hath seen God at any time. That God is above all. That God is a Spirit.

This does not mean however that Jesus isn't God, but that his body is not God, as it is plainly written that we are the body. God is holy, and never became sin for us, but God's only begotten Son did, who is Jesus the man, yet the Lord is also that Spirit and men may have touched his body, but never touched his Spirit or killed his soul, but rather the body was seperated from God, but that was not due to man's doing, but rather Jesus laid his own life down to take it up again, redeeming us who are his body, from the grave. Jesus called God his Father and was subject to God in that the flesh must be subject to the Spirit as Jesus said his Father is greater. God is also our Father, for we are that same body that is of God....in what way or how this is possible is not important, it is what the Scripture says....we are the body of Christ. Yet we are by adoption, or baptism into his body by being born again of the Spirit, and he is the only begotten as he was never born again, but was and is God's only begotten Son by natural, or supernatural birth of a virgin mother. If we sin against one another, we sin against the body....for we are the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in us, we are of his flesh and of his bones if we be truly born again and placed by God into that body.

  

I am not your teacher and only wish to share things with you that you may in turn try them by your own knowledge of the Lord. I really don't know any thing. Still learning and growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying for you and all men that you would also come to the knowledge of the truth and continue to grow in it. I am a sinner, but I have a hope that God through Jesus Christ our Lord will deliver me from my present situation of being a sinner and deliver me from this vile body and I thank him for this promise of eternal life. This is my faith that I share with all my brethren in the Lord who we patiently wait for. Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh.

Rom 8:22-25  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
