We had a pastor that told us he was going to preach on the 'Trinity', and my ears perked up. So I quizzed him to see what he would say, but he deferred with a smile and told me to check out the sermon and see. So I got a good seat and listened.
Well, he didnt say it directly but the message he gave was more than I had anticipated. He went over the usual text and the basic understanding of them, but then he went into the how God in his ordered way was one, yet distinct in the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. Then he went deeper into the oneness of God and gave the following text.....
Genesis 2:20-24
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Can this be a peek at the mystery on how God can be one, and yet seperate.....one "essence", one "substance", yet distinct...not born or created but eternally existing from the same 'oneness'?
