First, I don't "talk down Catholics" I debate their doctrines. Second, as I already explained just because the Catholic Church teaches error as well as truth does not make the truth they teach erroneous teachings.
What you oneness folks refuse to accept is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are portrayed as distinct "wills" that have the ability to make decisions independent of the other "wills". All three (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are ONE and all three are God.
Third "abide" means to "live in".
John 8:31-32
31 Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " NAS
John 15:4-10
4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. 8 "By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. 9 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. NAS
Even in this section of John you see Jesus and the Father as 2 (not one).
Snipe wrote: Now as far as His will being in us. Christ said you my word abide in you. Do I need to give you a def for abide. Is not God's word His will? Can a man know GOd's will without His word? If His Word and Spirit dwell in you, is not His will in them which is in you?
Do you really understand what you posted? The Holy Spirit and the Word (Jesus) both dwell in you. Now add John 17 and you have the Trinity in you because Jesus prays in John 17 that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him. Three entities that are part and parcel the one God.
Can we obey God’s will as revealed in God’s word? Yes, but we do not have God’s will abiding in us; we have our own will that we must by choice place under His sovereign control. Jesus is God and had living in obedience to the Father (God) as His only goal (Luke 22:42).
Romans 2:14-16
14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. NAS
You seem to have chosen to ignore these verses. You see Snipe it is possible to live in obedience to God without His written word.
Matthew 7:21
21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. NAS
Matthew 12:50
50 "For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother." NAS
1 John 2:17
17 And the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever. NAS
Now can you find me a Scripture that states we “have the will of the Father” dwelling in us?
I fully understood your accusation concerning Protestants debating Catholicism (not condemning Catholics as people), and that you seem to lack a full understanding of many Protestants who do not follow Catholicism’s pagan beliefs.
Snipe wrote:P.S
You still gave no scripture that says that God has members, specifically 3. Try finding scripture that says this before you go head over heels for the teachings of men... be at peace...
When one rightly divides the word of truth one can see the Trinity taught in many Scriptures. So before you follow the teachings of men I suggest you get into God’s word with a will to understand what God has revealed to mankind through the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Snipe wrote:The only reason you wish I was lying is because your spirit convicts you, so you try to damage my image, to make you feel better.
I see this statement applying more to those who deny the truth of the Trinity than those who accept God’s revealed truth.
