Let me finish my understanding that you purposely exlcuded:
"So YES!! In that regard, the shedding of Christ's innocent blood was a necessary Atonement FOR US, so that God the Father could permanently dwell within us THROUGH HIS SON."
Just because you don't understand why God the Father Himself required the sacrifice of His Son for Himself also, as I do, that doesn't justify you to be calling it blasphemy.
What is your understanding of the Trinity? Or do you reject it?
Since belief in a
Religious Trinitarian view is not a criteria for our salvation, are you asking that question to berate me?
Or are you asking so as to truly know??
Knowing you so far, I believe you are of the latter, therefore I will take the risk to give my understanding.
I understand and agree to the concept of the Trinity, but
unfortunately, "Trinitarians"
blindly understand
only their
religious doctrinal view of the Trinity as being:
"God in three Persons".
Since that is true, we must ask who ARE the three "persons" that make up the Trinity?
Since there is "another comforter", it is evident that there was a first comforter, before Jesus was
forsaken by His Father while on the cross,
bearing the sins of the world. Mat. 27:46
I do not reject the
religious doctrine of the Trinity. I just see it differently than most.
I don't see that it's necessary to make up an
"add on God" to
the Godhead of Two, when God the Father is
now again forever
within God the Son,
AFTER Jesus' resurrection. They are
again together as ONE, and as a result
they TWO together ARE the Holy Spirit.
John 14
[
23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
WE [two] will come unto him,
and make OUR abode with him.
That indwelling of THEM, being together as ONE, IS THEIR HOLY SPIRIT within us. Through faith in the shed blood of Christ, and for our
asking (Luke 11:13; Rev. 3:20) for
their indwelling of us, we each are MADE to be holy,
thus causing US ALL who are of faith, to be that which IS THREE, aka the body of Christ.
If all would read and digest the following, Jesus makes it all very clear.
John 17
[
20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
[
21]
That they all may be ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE in US: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
[
22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;
that they may be one, even as WE are one:
[
23]
I in them, and THOU IN ME, that they may be made perfect in ONE; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
[
24]
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be WITH me WHERE I am; that
they [who are the saved] may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
1 John 5:6-8 Textus Receptus Greek
[6] This is he who came
[1.] by water and
[2.] blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is
[3.] the Spirit [of God the Father]
WHO TESTIFIES.
[TRG John 14:10- Don’t you believe that
I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who LIVES in me does his works.]
[7] For there are
three that testify:
[8] [1.] the Spirit [of God the Father],
[2.] the water, and
[3.] the blood; and the three agree as one.
KJV John 19
[
34] But one of the soldiers
with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out
[innocent] blood and
water.
KJV 1 John 4
[
2]
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
[
3] And every spirit that
confesseth NOT that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
