Yes of course. And he will tell you however that Jesus is the head of the Church. A living breathing Church. Yet as far this thread is concerned he will also tell you who the Trinity is.šŸ™‚

Even one point of disagreement tells me its not the Holy Spirit that is doing the teaching…it can’t be…

How many ā€œLiving breathingā€ Holy Spirits are there?

That we do, as Christians, profess our God, who is radically and indivisibly one, to be the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit – three ā€œpersonsā€ who can never be confused with or reduced to one another, and who are all fully and literally God, singly and in the harmonious whole of their relationships with each other - is simply a summation of what we have learned from God’s self-revelation in human history, a revelation that has reached its climax in our being able, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to confess Jesus as the Eternal Father’s Word and Son.

Servant19… If Catholic Church only rested in Man’s hands, it would have falled apart a long time ago, but it doesn’t just rest in Man’s hands, what other organization do you know of that is 2000 years old ?

Thank you Vico

I understand this. For me, this theology seems unreasonable and does not, when fully analysed confirm with monotheism.

I appreciate you dearly for your time in explaining the Catholic position and your gentle heart which shines through your posts.

God bless you, I thank God that these differences will never allow a Baha’i to ever state that you are satanic or doomed to displease God, for He will always embrace a true seeking heart šŸ™‚

I can understand that. The theology is different having developed along different lines.
 
Doesn’t answer my question but we can leave it at that if you wish.

The Trinity never leaves us. But we pray we don’t leave the Trinity šŸ™‚

O my God, Trinity whom I adore; help me to forget myself entirely that I may be established in You as still and as peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing trouble my peace or make me leave You, O my Unchanging One, but may each minute carry me further into the depths of Your mystery. Give peace to my soul; make it Your heaven, Your beloved dwelling and Your resting place. May I never leave You there alone but be wholly present, my faith wholly vigilant, wholly adoring, and wholly surrendered to Your creative Action. - Sr. Elizabeth of the Trinity

I pray for that too šŸ™‚

I pray to God in His Essence, Baha’u’llah and the Holy Spirit…

In the hands of the Rabbis. It’s called Smikhah…

Ok… so the ā€œOrganizationā€ you speak of, has a Head Man who died thousands of years ago, and has no physical Location . :hmmm:
