The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit

God manifests Himself through His Word. His Word is not a person different from Him but God Himself manifesting, pronouncing Himself outwards in order to manifest Himself and act in His creation. The Word can not have a different conciousness than the Father, nor love the Father as a different person from Himslef. He is not a different person, He is God manifesting Himself.

This God that manifests Himself through his Word, was borned as a man in Virgin Mary's womb, utterly self-limiting his divinity, making Himself utterly a man, with all the limitations and all the dependency on God of every human. This, Jesus Christ, is the first regenerated Human being, that is not under Adam's sin yoke, that is the reason why He resurrected from the grave when He died. That is the reason why He is called "first-born from the dead" in Revelation. This man borned from Mary is to whom is called "The Son Of God". Being humanity engulfed in sin, it was needed that the only God was borned as a man and resurrected from the dead in order to open the way of regeneration for humanity.

God father was borned as man, with all the need and dependency of God , and with all the lackings of any other man; and as a man, he prayed to his father, to God. To this Holy Being that was borned is to whom is called "The Son Of God".

Once resurrected, He sent His Holy Spirit to the ones that believed in Him. This Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6), Christ Spirit (romans 8:9), Jesus Spirit (Acts 16:7), God's Spirit (romans 8:9), one only Spirit (Ephesians 4:4), is Christ's Holy presence within our hearts (Romans 8:9-11), the one that reproduces the holy image of the humanity with no sin of Jesus Christ; of the regenerated humanity in ours and make ourselfes "Sons of God".

This way the Trinity is the only and indivisible God manifesting Himself in three different ways in order to restore and save fallen humanity: 1- As Father (as God), 2- As Son (As a human being, Jesus Christ) 3- As Holy Spirit (As His Holy presence within our hearts that saves us regenerating our fallen image to God's Son image, doing us Sons).

-----------------------------------------

Now well, if we reed the book of Revelation, even if it is difficult to realize, we can bring more light to this salvation economy:

Saint Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 says:

"Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." 1 Corinthians 15:24-28.

If we look Revelation we can see that this is described. In Revelation 20:14 takes place the Death of the Death (1 cor 15:26) and from there on it is when Christ subjects all things to the Father in order that God is "all in all". This is right after death is defeated. It is then that new heaven and new earth arrives, in Revelation 21 and 22, just right after the seventh cup of the seventh trumpet of the seventh seal; in the fullness of 777.

Well, if we look deeper, we can see that before death is defeated and Christ subjects all the things to His Father in order that God is "All in all"; Christ presents Himself as someone different from His Father, God. He still talks as a Humanbeing, not as God. For example in Revelation 5:6 and Daniel 7:13, where the lamb is described in front of the throne and the one who sits in the throne.  Also in Revelation 1:6, 2:7, 2:27, 3:2, 3:5, 3:12, 3:21  where Christ refers to God as His God and His Father.

Nevertheless, right after death has been defeated, in the seventh cup of the seventh trumpet of the seventh seal; in the fullness of 777, when "the Son has subjected himself to the one who subjected all things to Him" 1 Corinthians 15:28, Jesus Christ sits in Gods Holy Throne and, from then on, he stops talking as someone different from His Father and He stops talking as a Son. It is then that He says: "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." Revelation 21:5-7

He says "it is done" (paralell to John  19:30), where He indicates that His redemptive work has been fully completed. He says "and I will be his God, and he shall be my son". That is, he has gone from occupying the place of Son and of Human to occupying the place of God and Father. Furthermore, we can see that from there on, in Revelation 22:3-4 it is written: "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads." Revelation 22:3-4. In Greek it is also written in singular: "shall serve him","his face","his name".

The Lamb, the Man, has sitted in God's Throne, He has unified Himself with His divinity, having fullfilled His redemptive work He has unified Himself with God. His prayings in John 
John 16:28 and john 17:5 has been fullfilled: "I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." John 16:28. "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." John 17:5. Having already redeemed Humanity having made them Sons of God, he stops occupying the place of Son to again accupy the place of Father, of God.

Resuming:


- First Resurrected Jesus is described as a man different from God taht refers God as "His God" Revelation 3:2, 3:12 and "His Father" Revelation 1:6, 2:27, 3:5, 3:21.

- We see Jesus in front of God's Throne in order to take the Book from the hands of God and open its seals: Revelation 5:6 and Daniel 7:13.

- Once He has opened the 7 seals and death has been defeated, New Jerusalem descends from God and from here on we can see that Jesus is described seatted in God's throne and Jesus stops talking as Man-Son and start talking as God-Father Revelation 21:5-7, and Jesus and God stop being described as two different "persons" but as the same one and the same; in one same Throne Revelation Ap 22:3, with one same Face and with one same Name Revelation 22:4. Probably the new Name to which Jesus refers in Revelation 3:12.

On the modern age, nihilism and Jesus Christ


The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. "Whither is God?" he cried; "I will tell you. We have killed him-you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its Sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do. we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the grave diggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too decompose .. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. "How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world - has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement. what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it? There has never been a greater -deed; and whoever is born after us-for the sake of this deed, he will belong to a higher history than all history hitherto." 
Here the madman fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they; too, were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, and it broke into pieces and went out. HI have come too early," he said then; "my time is not yet. This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light of the stars requires time; deeds, though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars and yet they have already done it themselves."

F. Nietzsche - The gay science


Nihilism, self destructive behaviour and self destructive entertainment are logic and even the most consistent responses before the nonsense of life. why to strive in anything if we are just a random product of chance, we are going to dissapear and there will not remain anything of our works and efforts? Our generation, with few exceptions, has been borned in the middle of the abyss. We have not received any religious education in the sense that we have not grown up with the idea of God´s existence. Even those tendencies that look religiousness with disdain and disrespect designating them as a resource for the cowards that dont dare to accept the anguishing reality of our condition in this world are alive; although i agree with those who say that he who has not sink in desperation and has not experienced that condition of being with no God becoming fully aware of existential void and from that abyss of desperation has turned to God, will not be able to fully experience God´s truth. Maybe this is one of the senses of mystical faith purifications.

This fact, not having been educated with the idea that God is, wether in a monotheist sense, christian jewish or muslim, wether in a more oriental sense, but that keeps the view of trascendence of life over phisical death, has meant the amputation of all spiritual conception of life wether in a social wether in an individual scope and has greatly influenced occident people psychology and i believe is the root cause of many psychiatric "disorders" that are treated with material remedies (pills) or remedies of psychological nature (therapies based in talking) that, although can palliate some symptoms, can not solve the root of the disorder because this disorders have a spiritual nature root cause. I am not a psychologist but from my own experience i think that prayer, spending some time talking with God telling Him our fears and worries and asking for help with the hope that He is listening to us, would be the best remedie for many of this cases.

in a way i think this fact, this modern age spiritual darkness, was necesary for unlinking God conception from human church institution (whose high ranks have commited many abuses althought, in general terms, i consider its influence in history in a very positive way even if only for having transmitted Christ message, this without counting with the millions of souls, in whom i think that true church consitsts, that have sacrified their lifes doing good in it) in people psychology and leading them to the true knwoledge of God in Jesus Christ. I mean that i consider human church institution as a valid tool, and even necessary for most of us, for cultivating our relation with God.. but we can not circumscribe to or subtitute God for human Church institution, nor reduce Gods relation with man to their relation with church, nor reduce true spiritual life, that consists in true knowledge of Christ in Spirit and in Truth and in a personal relation with Him to fullfilling some commandments or persuading oneselfe that one believes some dogmas... And the most important, i think that it was necessary or that in a way God is taking advantage of it, in order that man verify that freedom is not in living without God and that God does not enslave us, but that God is our freedom.. in order to destroy all misconceptions and prejuices that had formed around "God" concept and rediscovering God.

Nietzsche saw this modern age condition and said "God is dead, we have killed God"; and facing this faithless abyss with no foundation and with no reference in which we are found after having denied God and facing nihilism he offered "Superman" conception, the man that builds his own values making himself God of himself. The man that positions himself as the center, foundation and lay of everything  in contrast with the slave christian mind that lived in an insane fear of God state obeying precepts, not because he believed in them, but becaouse he feared God´s punishment. Paradoxically, this "superman" concept well could have been inspired in JesusChrist, to whom Nietzsche admired and of whom he said that was the only true christian in history.

Christ is the paradigm of the Christians and Christians, the ones who bear the Holy Christ Spirit, are called to reproduce his Image. They are called to be free, to be Christs, to walk united to Him the same way He walked united to His own divinity. They are called to follow Christ steps to the Cross and from there to God´s Holy Throne Ap3:21. Christ has not called us to that fearing God neurotic insane state. He has not called us for making us slaves of a God that imposes on us some external values in which we do not believe. He came to deliver us from everything that we are not and to give us anew our own true identity, the true knowledge of ourselfes, our true Names. God is the fountain of our being and our current condition in this world is being separated from God. Christ, God-Men, has covered this separation abyss in order to reunite us to Himself and that we are able to become ourselfes and not a shadow of whom we really are separated from the spring of our being, God. Christ has called us to make us Kings and free, not slaves. The Christian that walks in the Spirit does not obey external precepts in which he does not believe moved by fear but, united with God, he receives his being from God and this Being that he receives is his own law. This is what Saint John of the cross refers to when in his "ascent of mount Carmel" , describing the end of the way, the highest mystical state of union with God writes: "from now on there is no path because for the fairmen there is no law. The fair man himself is law to himself". This is the freedom of the Sons of God, no more nor less than being whom they really are for being united to the spring of their beings, God.

this is completly oposite to Nietzsche´s "superman" conception in that Nietzsche´s "superman" creates himself, is the fountain of himself, is his own God while Christians receive their being from God but similar in that both, Christians and Nietzsche´s "Superman" are law to themselfes. The difference is that while Nietzsche´s "superman" is his own fountain, Christian receives everything from God.

yet, this path of knowing God and ourselfes involves the death in us of everything that we are not, of our false own egoistic selfe oposite to God, of whom Christ came to deliver us, of whom spring all our egoistic sinful human inclinations contrary to God: pride, covetousness, envy, wickedness... that slave us and deppart us from God mking us unhappy. In this sense, Christian life is a permanent struggle against oneselfe, against our own false self until he has defeated Gods enemys in himself and Christ has dethroned antichrist, the false egoisitc self, the superman "that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 2 tes 2:4, "hath put all enemies (within ourselfes) under his feet 1 cor 15:25 and reigns over all the land of our beings. this is the inner victory that after shall be manifested in the exterior. the all creation redemption. Christ never promised an easy life but a plain life full of sense.

In conclusion, in this life void of sense in which church has lost its influence and youths roam with no course looking for answers where there are not and  satiate their thirst where there is no water, i urge people to approach Christ, the only one that can provide plain sense to their existences and drive them to the true happiness and true freedom.  To all the people that drag heavy remorse weights, tell you that Jesus is not going to hold anything against us. He desires you to approach Him in order to free you from your faults and of every weight more than yourselfes.. An to everyone who suffers, that after all are all of us, because it is not possible to be happy without God, because we are made for Him and our natural condition is being united with Him, tell them that Jesus Christ is, that He is there and that he helps the ones that ask Him his help. That many of us have experienced His help, he has delivered from very deep abysses and has given a sense to our lifes. Tell them that we are not left from the hand of God, that we are not a product of chaos, that there is a meaning for every tear.. and encourage you all to talk with Christ and tell Him your worries, ask Him for his help or tell him whatever springs from your hearts... He is there and He listens to you.


But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Matthew 15:13

Christian Faith explanation


FOR YOU ARE TYRED, BORED AND ANGRY.
FOR YOU HAVE SUDDENLY BEEN THROWN IN THIS WORLD AND YOU CAN´T FIND ANY MEANING.
FOR A VOICE IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE MISSING THE MOST ESSENTIAL POINT.
FOR IT IS ALSO TELLING YOU THAT LIFE CAN NOT BE SO CRUEL, THAT THERE MUST BE A MEANING.
FOR SEX IS OVER, CAN NOT FILL YOU, AND YOU DESIRE IT AGAIN.
FOR THE MORE FREE YOU THINK YOU ARE, THE MORE SLAVE YOU FEEL YOURSELF.
FOR WHEN YOU ARE UP YOU DESCEND THE SAME THAT YOU WENT UP.
FOR YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.
FOR YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN.


LETS ASK FOR HELP TO JESUS, BECAUSE HE IS THE MEANING OF LIFE.


I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32



1- Our current condition and the evil in the world and in our hearts.


It is logical to think that it has no sense that imperfection, evil and suffering in the world exists. Wouldn't be more logical that everything was perfect? Currently we are living in a fallen world. The cause is original sin. In the Bible it is symbolized by Adam and Eve disobedience by eating of knowledge of good and evil tree fruit. It is not well known in what did consist or what does this Genesis passage symbolize but the consequence is the current state of divorce between God and humanity.

some of the consequences of this condition of man separated from God are:

- Unhappiness: We are made to be united with God and is only in Him where we can find rest and we will not really rest until we become One with Him again. We have an infinite thirst that we try to satiate by many ways (womans, wine, food, vices, morality, trying to be what we are not...) but the onlt way to satiate it is God.

- Unknowledge of ourselves: God is the spring of our being. As we are separated from God we are separated from ourselves. we are a shadow of whom we really are, of our very true "Self" that God created. We are spiritually dead. This is in wich sin consists; when a man sins, he departs from God the fountain of his self, he departs from his true Self, he spiritually dies, he demonizes himself.

- Egotism in our hearts: Our self will contrary to God´s will that separates us from God of wich only God can deliver us. The serpent´s image of wich only Christ can deliver us when He is born in our hearts and smashes the serpent´s head in our hearts. It is then when we find the knowledge of our true Name, the one that God has given us that proceeds from God; that is, when we find the knowledge of ourselves, of our true Self that God created. It is the when we recover the likeness and image of God at wich we were created.

- Death: from our state of being separated from God arises our condition here on earth. We are suddenly thrown to this world and the  scythe of death is awaiting for everyone of us. We don´t know why nor with wich porpuse we are here. This state produces in us a very deep vertigo that is within all of us. This is usually called "existential anguish". Some are more aware of this anguish and some less because some look at it and other evade looking at it but it is whithin all of us. When man finds and knows God, this vertigo abyss unravells as the darkness dissipates before the light. Then he finds that there is a sense for everything, that we are not a random product of chance or chaos, that everything has a reason of being, that there will be an answer for every bitter and sorrowfull moment in life (And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; Revelation 21:4) and that God is and we shall see His Everlasting Victory (in the Cross) over every evil.



2. God´s salvation. (For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. Mt 18:11):


God did not forsake us leaving us in this digraceful state, but He was born as a Men, in Jesus Christ, and came to seek us and save us and return us to the Gracefull state of union with Him giving us back everything that we had lost. God joined our humanity in order that man can Join God again. This Holy state of union of God and Men is paradise. If we look at the cross + the vertical stick signs Christs divinity, the horizontal stick signs Christs humanity and the holy centre signs the very reconciliation of God and Humanity in the ONE, in the point where the two sticks crosses in the Very Holy Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. Humanity and Divinity reunited by Christ´s Humanity and Divinity as he begged His Father (his Divinity) when he said "that they may all be one" in John 17:21 John.

the way how He saves us is by sending his Holy Spirit to our hearts. His Holy Spirit is Jesus, Christ Himself that comes and live in our Hearts. This Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6), Christ Spirit (romanians 8:9), Jesus Spirit (Acts 16:7), Gods Spirit (romanians 8:9), one only Spirit (Efesians 4:4), is the one that reproduces the Holy image of Jesus in ourselfs by killing all egotism and letting us know God, Jesus, Christ in His divinity  and our true selfes. When we receive His Holy Spirit, the real Sun, Jesus Christ, in a same way as He was born in Bethlehem, is born and rises within our hearts; and from living in the night we come to live in the true everlasting Day illuminated by the true everlasting SUN, Jesus Christ.

But in order that God send us His Holy Spirit He had had to made Himself a man like us in Jesus and Die on the Cross. And this is why Jesus had not sinned (2corinthians 5:21) and was not a normal man like us. He was the first man, the root of the new covenant , the root of Jesse as Revelation says and the first born because as it is said in John "He was not of this world but we were from this world". and now we are not of this world because he, that never was of this world delivered us from this world (john 15:19). All Humanity was engulfed in sin , There was need that God came as Man and killed death and sin within our hearts and later, as a consecuence in all exterior world.

Jesus is the Paradigm , the new man, the first born, the first reborned that has opened the way for all of us. When he says that he is the way he is not only talking about his Holy presence within our hearts that guides us, he is also talking about his humanity that must be reproduced in us by His Holy Spirit. We Christians are also called to follow Him to the Cross and to Gods throne.

This versicles, among others, are related to This Holy Spirit:



John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)



John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.


Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.




3- Conclusion:


It is possible that all this crasses with our racionality and we find hard to think that reality is like this, it is also probable that i have commited some mistakes in the explanation. However, i think that the most important thing is that we frankly talk with Christ asking for His help. He is there and He helps everyone that ask Him for His help. Tell Him whatever springs from your heart, that you want His help but it is hard for you to believe in Him and that you want Him to help you believing or that you want to know Him but it is hard for you to believe, or aks Him for His help and expose Him your worries or whatelse.

All of us have seek for happiness where we could not find it and all of us have commited errors or sinned. All of us have been carried along by our egotism and we have make people suffer, we have done evil deeds and we have behave in unworthy ways. We all need God's forgiveness. Lets ask Jesus to forgive all the evil that we have done and to help us changing our evil ways. He is not going to hold anything against us. He desires more that us that we go to Him in order to find his forgiveness and his Help, clean us and make us happy. (John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.)

It is vitally important to receive Christ. Before receiving Him we are death, when we receive Him we return to the true Life, with God, as Jesus said:


John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.


John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?



John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
