Does it say the 3rd person created stuff?
Scripture declares ALL THREE are acting as ONE in the creation process - Genesis ch1 and John ch1
Genesis - "Let US make man in OUR image according to OUR likeness = 3x

Does it say the 3rd person created stuff?
Again, where does scripture say "God the son"?only God has angels
we don’t believe in the false doctrine of the “Bible alone”
Bible and tradition
Or the Bible and the teaching authority of Christ in his apostles
The RCC does not represent the Apostles, but imposters.not a place but the authority of Christ in his church in his apostles as he commanded and appointed
...thus saith the Pope!only it has apostolic succession of both Peter and the apostles
Only it has the authority of Jesus Christ!
9 For in(INSIDE) him dwelleth all(EVERY BIT OF) the fulness of the Godhead bodily.The Father fills the Son after the His Resurrection??? Where do you find this in Scripture?
The New Birth and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and to walk with Christ all the way Home.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:Where?
The baby/son is the Father?
Or, the baby(son) will in the future, after his resurrection, be called the Father?
This is because the Father will in the resurrection of the son, completely fill the son with every bit of the Spirit of the Father.
This makes the son, the Father by default.
The "us" is the invisible God speaking to the visible man Christ Jesus.Scripture declares ALL THREE are acting as ONE in the creation process - Genesis ch1 and John ch1

the church
The apostles
The teaching authority of Christ in his apostles
nterpretation provides meaning!
Meaning provides understanding!
Understanding produces unity!
Examples:
Text: a Fat sandwich man.
What does it mean: a fat man making sandwiches?
Or does it mean: a man making fat sandwiches?
ALL Truth is contained and eminates from the Word = Read John ch17
No Hurry:
Does it mean we don’t have time so hurry up?
Or does it mean we got lots of time?
Seven spirits of God:
Does it mean there are seven holy spirits?
Or the seven gifts of the spirit?
Seven churches:
Does it mean there are seven churches?
Or the one church at seven different locations?
Jn 3:5 born again by water and the spirit.
Does it mean “faith alone”? “Accept Jesus as your personal lord and savior”?
Or does it mean the Christian sacrament of baptism?
Only the church who wrote the scripture in the first place has authority from Christ to interpret scripture!
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
It does not say Jesus is the invisible God, but the image of the invisible God.
It also says the invisible God that makes stuff fully indwells the firstborn from the dead(Jesus).
This firstborn concept gives the man Christ Jesus, preeminence(human preexistence).
So, you think human nature(baby) and divine nature(mighty God) are the same?Same nature different persons
The "us" is the invisible God speaking to the visible man Christ Jesus.
Per Rom 5:14, Adam was made in the likeness of the man that was to come, not a Spirit God.
Read the logic of my previous reply:where does scripture exclude infants?
And nowhere in scripture does it actually, in so many words, include infants. But logically an infant cannot repent. An infant cannot die to self. And neither can an infant seek forgiveness of sin. Look at the logic.babies cannot partake of that burial, that death to self because they have no notion of dying to self or being buried with Christ so how can you count what you do to infants as baptism?
I would belabor the thread to show you the man Christ Jesus showing up throughout the OT to different people, from Adam all the way to the Prophets. Even Nebuchadnezzar saw the man Christ Jesus in the fire.There is no visible man Jesus in Genesis.
Do you have a scripture to show this?
Yes, Royal because He - Jesus - is Royal. How else would it be royal with our King Jesus as High Priest?Christians are in the royal priesthood

I am glad to see the RCC gives Phillip the option of immersion.
That was so nice of them.
I never realised that there were people around who called themselves Christian and didn't believe in the three person Godhead. I've lived a sheltered life.Scripture declares ALL THREE are acting as ONE in the creation process - Genesis ch1 and John ch1

9 For in(INSIDE) him dwelleth all(EVERY BIT OF) the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Every bit of God did not fit in him while on earth.
