Bandit: to understand the nature of God is that the One God has 3 persons, all co-equal and co-eternal.
Eden: yes, I agree with that. No point in overthinking the Godhead while I am still a mortal (tho redeemed unto immortality).
However those Godheads may be, one thing is for certain: Yehovah and Yeshua and the Holy Spirit have capabilitie which are not earthly. And that is good enough for me.

To "flow out of" might imply some sort of derived quality or dependency upon. I think the best way to understand the nature of God is that the One God has 3 persons, all co-equal and co-eternal. Since God is infinite and we are finite, we shouldn't be surprised that there are aspects of Him that we simply cannot understand. I'm sure this doesn't help much, if any.

Does the Holy Spirit flow out of the Father and out of the Son?
In what way then is the Holy Spirit a Third Person like the Father and like the Son?
In this: no matter what I try to make the Holy Spirit, one thing I always have to admit: the Holy Spirit is divine, and not earthly, and that is good enough for me.
