The reason why there are so many divisions among religious groups is because people do not have a revelation concerning the mystery of the Father and the Son. Consequently, as these people read their Bible, theyrely on hunum philosophies to try to interpret it. By so doing, they create gods calling them God the Son, Son of Mary, Spirit of God, and Spirit of Christ.
Someend up with three or four gods, and others with three gods in nineper sons. How sad it is when jDeople follow after man-made teachings and doc trines.
CXur conclusions must be based on the Bible. We cannot take one scrip ture out of context. We must look at all of the Word of God, for "all scrip tureis given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto every good work" (II Timothy 3:16,17).

Son, the Word that became flesh, being the express image of His person (John1:14;Hebrews1:2-3). TheBibleclearlyteachesusthattheWordofGod which was from the beginning with God was made flesh. Through the incarnation, the Father became Emmanuel. God is now spirit, blood and
flesh, or we can say. He is now God-man (Matthew 1:20-23; Luke 1:34-35; I Timothy 3:16).
