The Ultimate Hat-Trick of God in Four Sentences–John Shore


The Ultimate Hat-Trick of God in Four Sentences.

It is useful to consider Shore’s take on the Gospel of John’s initial words as heralding the Trinity–and by doing so having a grasp of the notion of the Trinity. Shore goes on to challenge the notion of accepting Jesus in order to have the Holy Spirit. This will make some uncomfortable. I find people come to God in so many different ways and circumstances that perhaps that notion should be challenged. It is however, how we “do” Christianity.  I do know that Holy Ghost is the greatest Evangelist and He is unconcerned with orders and formulas we come up with. I also know the Holy Ghost operates on folks that are not believers.
