First time I've heard this, don't suppose you've got any proof at all? What am I saying? Of course you do. :-)Honestly it wasn't till recently that i heard God was a multiple personality deity.
The above post we see passages that seperates the deity of the Father and the deity of the Son. We also see the proclaimation that they still are one. There are several accounts where the deity of the Father, Son and Spirit are shown to be seperate. Yet we are also told that there is only one God. Even in the OT God refers to himself as "we" in most of the narritives given. How can there be a "we" if God was a single deity? Simply put the word God is not a name but a title. This allows for "we" and yet their be only one God. Much like how the Governing body/goverment of the United States is three seperate enties of the Same Goverment.
Theres a problem here.
"Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'? Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. (John 10:36-38)"
Gods son. Not part of God, not a member of God. Gods son. He refers to God as a seperate entity, a being. God is refered in this way in many, many passages. Now if you were trying to argue that God and Jesus were seperate entities and the whole Trinity thing was some type of symbolism you might be able to get away with that. The fact of the matter is theres no evidence in the Bible that God is some type of divine organization. At almost every turn it is refered to as a singular being. Unless you were willing to refute these passages, which would make up quite a sizable chunk of the Bible, you cannot claim this to be anything other than your unproven theory on your unproven beliefs.
