1 WHAT & WHO IS “GOD” HE. SHE. Or THEY. What’s He like
WHAT & WHO IS “GOD” HE? SHE? Or THEY? What’s He like? And other questions. Does God really exist? What is the “Trinity” Yellow texts are Bible texts. The Bible is God’s Word to the World. White texts are explanations.

2 God is invisible! To Man. 1 John 4:12
“No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:12

3 Do you believe in LOVE? Then you believe in GOD! For God is LOVE!
“He that does not love, does not know God, for God is LOVE!” 1 John chapter 4: verse 8 IF you believe that LOVE exists ... THEN you can believe that God exists! Because LOVE is GOD! Love is supernatural, as Man is basically selfish by nature, mostly thinking about himself. We have to LEARN to love, through discipline, rules & methods to prefer others; like “social graces.” But REAL love is much more than social graces! Real Love is an emotion that moves us to really love others & have sympathy & empathy; to put ourselves in others’ shoes. Such love is supernatural, a gift from God. Love that comes from above!

4 And what Everybody needs is LOVE!

5 WHAT is God? God is a SPIRIT!
“God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”Jn 4:24 A window is glass. A table is wood! A bowl plastic. God is “spirit” and “love” He is a spirit of love! E=MC Love = God = Spirit. Did you ever see or touch Love? No! I only tasted, touched & saw its reflection in someone or through somebody. Through you! Love--like God--is invisible. SPIRIT! So are you! You are a spirit too. In a body! A GHOST! Waaaah! But … I’m not afraid of you. You are a GOOD ghost! And so is God! A good Holy Ghost!

6 God the Father is not only a Spirit! God is LIGHT! 1 John 1:5
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

7 What is God? He is the Father of spirits.
“Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” Hebrews 12:9 God is the “Father of spirits” So ALL spirits were created by Him! Human spirits, Angelic spirits, Animal spirits, ghosts & spirits; ALL spirits. YOU too!

8 Not all spirits are the ‘Sons of God’
But … NOT all spirits are God’s SONS, His CHILDREN! John 1:12 says that “as many as received Him, to them he gave the right (power, authority) to BECOME the SONS of GOD, even to them that believe on His name!” The SONS of God are like the Angels of God. Angelic beings. 1 John 3:1-2 “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.” 2. Beloved, NOW are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

9 Who is God? Is He a personality?
Jesus said: “I go unto the Father, for my Father is greater than I.” Jesus was a personality, so if God is His Father, then the Father is an even greater personality than Jesus! So what is God’s personality like? Jesus said: “He who has seen me, has seen the Father.” “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort” 2 Cor 1:3 God is a merciful God, and a God of all comfort! He is very Loving! A God of Love!

10 But the Father is also jealous over us. A protective jealousy
But the Father is also jealous over us. A protective jealousy.1 John 2:23 “Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: but he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 15 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” If we love this World, this system, then God’s Love is not in us. He wants us to love HIM more than the World! Exodus 20:5 [Concerning Idols] “You shall not bow down yourself unto them, nor serve them: For I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

11 Jesus shows us GOD the Father John 14:8-10
“Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. “Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say then, ‘Show us the Father?’ “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.”

12 So who is God? The Father? Jesus?
Jesus said in John 10:29,30 “My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. “I and my Father are one.” So if Jesus and the Father are ONE, then they are both GOD! There is no other religious figure who claimed he was GOD or the SON OF GOD--except Jesus Christ! John 17:21 “That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. 21 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

13 GOD the Father! GOD the Son, & GOD the Holy Spirit.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and lived among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as of the only born of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jesus was the Word of God. And the Word of God is God! So Jesus is God! “.. there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7

14 THREE in ONE are ONE GOD! This is the so-called TRINITY. Three personalities in ONE GOD! The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit!

15 Our Father trains & disciplines us! Hebrews 12:6-9
For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if you are without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

16 Sons of God are Heirs & known of God. Galatians 4:6-9
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 8 Howbeit then, when you knew not God, you did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto you desire again to be in bondage? Some new Sons of God reverted to ‘religion’ to serve pseudo gods, fake gods, who are ’no gods by nature’. Please don’t you offend your real Father! Your real Ancestor!

17 “Ye are gods.” Not GOD! 30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ‘You are gods’? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme’; because I said, I am the Son of God?
