The Holy Trinity

This module is about the essence of the Spirit of God, which is often interpreted as three entities in one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Ultimately, all consciousness stems from God our creator. As the supreme deity within our universe, the Holy Trinity functions harmoniously as a single unit. Since God reigns supreme and is over the whole universe, harmony is essential. If this harmony didn’t exist, our universe would quickly be in jeopardy.

Personally, I typically consider God the Father and God the Son, as two distinct personalities. Additionally, I consider the third part of the Holy Trinity, which is the Holy Spirit... as the duo’s far-reaching and influential-power.

My impression of the Holy Spirit is twofold. First, it’s a loving and nurturing spirit, such as through the body of Christ. Secondly, it’s like a mighty outstretched arm, similar to an arm attached to one’s body.

In order to leave no stone unturned, I can’t leave this topic without discussing the mysterious Melchizedek. He's introduced to us within the book of Genesis (Gen. 14:18), and was basically the first priest of the Old Testament.

To me, Melchizedek stands out for not necessarily what he did here on earth, but how he’s been biblically characterized.

Hebrews 7, NIV: (1) This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, (2) and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” (3) Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

As we see from this passage, Melchizedek suddenly appeared here on earth, with neither father nor mother. I believe that Melchizedek foreshadowed the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.

Spiritually, Melchizedek was also part of the God the Father, and was with the Father from the very beginning. In essence, Melchizedek was (and is) part of our universe's supreme deity.

He became an example for the Israelite priests to follow, and was the first true mediator between God and mankind. Years later, his spirit returned to earth through the body of Jesus Christ.

My overall impression regarding Melchizedek's existence is this. At some point in time, this “king of peace” distinguished himself from the Father which resulted in two unique personalities. One personality kept the characteristics of our Father the Creator, whereas the second... who had a heavy heart for mankind, was Melchizedek. Many years after Melchizedek was here on earth, the “order of Melchizedek” returned through our redeemer Jesus Christ.

After Jesus’ birth and resurrection, Jesus surpassed Melchizedek and became our new mediator. Although Melchizedek was on earth for just a relatively short period of time, the Bible states that “he remains a priest forever” (Hebrews 7:3).

Spiritual Flavours of Our Creator

Likely there will be believers who do not agree with what I am about to describe. Nonetheless, within the appropriate context - I believe that the “Word” described to us within the first book of John, is wrapped up into this concept of consciousness and likewise self-awareness.

This notion may seem like blasphemy to some, but prior to dismissing this statement completely - please entertain the following interpretation from this book-of-John passage.

Beginning with the first verse of John chapter one, consider the “Word” as having different meanings which rely upon context. To clarify these different cases, I’ve used particular characters as a legend.

As a basis, it's a given that this “Word” is also synonymous with Light.

Spiritual Legend for John Chapter-One

G = Word = light = The Holy Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

H = Word = light = Holy Spirit, Intelligence, consciousness. Similar to the breath of life, as man was created within the book of Genesis.

J = Word = light = mediator = Jesus.

J = John the Baptist

D = Darkness, evil, and the serpent within the human body.

Using the prior definitions, you should now be able to follow my logic through this book-of-John passage. I believe that these are the most relevant Bible verses describing the three spiritual flavours of our Creator.

John 1: NIV: (1) In the beginning was the Word J, and the Word J was with God G, and the Word J was God G. (2) He J was with God G in the beginning. (3) Through him J all things were made; without him J nothing was made that has been made. (4) In him J was life H, and that life was the light H of all mankind. (5) The light H shines in the darkness D, and the darkness D has not overcome it H.

Note that the verse of John 1:2 within the NIV, is slightly different than the King-James version. The KJV states this: "The same was in the beginning with God". (It doesn't use the word "He" like the NIV does.) Reading verse one and two within the King-James, seems to infer a mirror-like image of God himself.

The remaining portion of this passage introduces John the Baptist who was a cousin of Jesus in the flesh. He was born just months prior to Jesus.

(6) There was a man sent from God G whose name was John J. (7) He J came as a witness to testify concerning that light J, so that through him J all might believe. (8) He J himself was not the light J; he J came only as a witness to the light J. (9) The true light J that gives light H to everyone was coming into the world. (10) He J was in the world, and though the world was made through him J, the world did not recognize him J. (11) He J came to that which was his own H, but his own did not receive him J. (12) Yet to all who did receive him J, to those who believed in his name J, he gave the right to become children of God G — (13) children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God G. (14) The Word J became flesh and made his J dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son J, who came from the Father G, full of grace and truth.
