17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17 ESV

^^^ Important to remember that although there is a holy trinity, there is also a chain of command.

Example we don't ask Jesus for salvation, we ask God, but through Jesus. God can't see us because we are evil and we do evil things, but he sees the Jesus in us, the blood of his son and not the sinful nature that is covered by the blood.

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

Maybe I just wasn't clear enough in the manner that I made the statement. And I do not want to take away from the purpose of the thread...A word for the day.
My point is simply that Jesus is the vessel through which salvation is achieved. God gives us grace and forgiveness. Agree or disagree, it's everyone's personal call, and I am not sitting in judgment over anyone's choice, but that is what I get from scripture.

Now I know the whole thing gets muddled because Jesus, God, the messenger is really just the same...person?? if that word would apply to the trinity. But for some reason, God became flesh, in man, in the person, Jesus and lived amongst us. He actually died to repent for the sin of man. His repentance, his blood is our marker. Without it, we are not saved. God recognizes the blood of his son on us when we are redeemed.

Preaching to the choir, I know, but just clarifying what I said initially.

Sharing something neat:

Yesterday I was working outside in the excessive heat. Swinging a sledge hammer trying to knock a retaining pin that weighed 35 lbs or more back into the boom of my excavator...overhead.
It was so hot I could only take a few swings and I'd start getting nauseous. Right in the middle of that, I said: Father, probably won't do it, but I sure could use a little breeze right about now.
Instantly a breeze came! Like in one second.
Shows two things:
My faith is weak that I did not think that God was around, nor that he would reach down and help me
and
That his is not. He is always the same. He tells us he loves us, and in the midst of my suffering and doubt, he just did
