[UntoHim]

Ok YP, very well then. I'll stick with 1 Cor 15:45 a little while if you promise to play nice

I must say that your "a banana - the banana" illustration is really like comparing apples to oranges

I am sure that you would agree that every time the word pneuma is used, is is not always referring to the Person of the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, you are quite mistaken regarding the usages of articles in biblical Greek. Many times they do indeed make a substantial and meaningful difference (you see I didn't sleep through every one of those classes in my 3 semesters of biblical Greek)

Anyway, I will still continue to beat the drum of the orthodox view of the Trinity as stated by so many of the early church fathers and a number of the early creeds and now by the vast majority of evangelical/orthodox Christianity - To wit... Our God is one. Our God is three Persons, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit who are equal in substance, holiness power and glory. As I think I may have stated before...God is one is a way that we cannot fully comprehend or understand...He is also three is a way that we cannot fully comprehend for understand... What He is not (or should I say what He does not do) is CHANGE. One Person of the Godhead does not "become" one of the others - No way, No how. God does not even "change economically" or "in His economy for His move on earth" any more then He changes essentially. This IS the crux of the matter as far as I can see.
