I have. The basic reaction is one of shock followed by, dare I say it, awe?

I believe this ties in to this subject;

In three places in the KJV the word 'godhead ' is used. the first is Acts 17.29 , the Greek word is theios, the definition in The Analytical Greek Lexicon by Zondervan, is the divine nature;divinity.
The second is Rom. 1.20, the Greek word is theiotes, the definition ( same book) is divinity,deity,godhead,divine majesty.
The third is Col. 2.9 , the Greek word is theotes, the definition is divinity, deity, godhead.

I take this to indicate that the God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the godhead. So "godhead' is a scriptural word. That is where (I presume) that the word " Trinity" came from...the three in one .

There are many scriptures that indicate that the three were together in both the creation, and the inspiring of the word. They are of one mind..therefore they are 'one'.

The mysterious "us" in the Book of Genesis


The Lord has progressively revealed himself to humanity through the first and second testaments. NIV: Genesis CH 1 verse 26: Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

"us" The God head. Father, Son, Holy spirt.

Another interesting Chapter and verse is Genesis CH 11 verse 7. NIV: Genesis CH 11 Verse 7: "Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

"let us" The God head. Father, Son, Holy spirt.

I'm not so sure it it's that simple and cut and dried, Patmos.

So then why does it say "You shall have no other gods before me". Should'nt it be "no other gods before us" ?

Nope, because God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three in one.

The word Godhead does not exist outside of the Trinity doctrine. To say that the greek words translate as such is incorrect. The Greek words simple translate as God...they do not signifiy a triple god-head at all. Please research the history of the Trinity doctrine.

And I'm sorry but I have to disagree. There are no scriptures that claim that the three were together as one PERSON in creation. They were indeed of one mind...in unity. If you believe however that they are three seperate individuals that are unified in purpose, you do not believe in the trinity.

Thank you for your opinion, but that is not how my Analytical Greek Lexicon reads.
