Where in the Bible does it say, The Father dwells in 3 Persons? Scripture reference please?
In the Bible God is described the following way. God is-
i. One: Jam. 2:19; Gal. 3:20.
ii. Invisible: Rom. 1:20; 1 Tim. 6:15,16.
iii. Divine: 2 Pet. 1:4; Rom. 1:20.
iv. Spirit: Jn. 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17.
v. Nature: (Gal. 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:4).
vi. Love: 1 Jn. 4:8,16.
i. One: Jam. 2:19; Gal. 3:20.
ii. Invisible: Rom. 1:20; 1 Tim. 6:15,16.
iii. Divine: 2 Pet. 1:4; Rom. 1:20.
iv. Spirit: Jn. 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17.
v. Nature: (Gal. 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:4).
vi. Love: 1 Jn. 4:8,16.
Here are the real facts about the three Persons of the Godhead, as is taught in the Bible.
i. God is one, divine, spirit nature not in any way an essence. (Gal. 3:20; 2 Pet. 4:1; Jn. 4:24).
ii. The Persons – form of the three persons are not God thus not divine, this is testified of by the body of Jesus. Jn. 19:30; Matt. 4:1,2.
iii. There are not three divine persons making up one essence of God, rather, there is one God, who is spirit, and invisible that dwells in the three persons. (Jam. 2:19; Jn. 4:24; Col. 1:15; 1 Jn. 5:7).
iv. God dwells IN the persons; this is what Jesus demonstrated to us in His incarnation. 2 Cor. 5:19; Col. 2:9.

First of all I am aware that these truths are for those who are sincere and have an appetite to know truth that the Holy spirit can guide into the truth.
Those who because of Pride, and self sufficiency already has placed them self in a position that the Holy-Spirit CANNOT help.

Furthermore the divine nature dwells in the doctrine of Christ, the Plan of Salvation, which is the Character of Christ, or the divine Character of God. Since the divine Character is the explanation of the divine nature, the two are inseparable. Since Jesus claimed to be the Truth, the divine Character is by this seen to be His own. This shows that God dwells in the persons through the divine Character, thus they are identified as God.
1. God the divine Nature dwells in the doctrine of Christ. 2 Jn. 9.
2. Christ is the Truth as His identity. Jn. 14:6;
3. The Truth is the Plan of Salvation, the Gospel. Gal. 2:5.
4. This is the divine Character of Christ. Rom. 1:16.
5. It is the divine Character of Christ because it is the only explanation of God, and only God can explain God. (Jn. 1:18; Matt. 11:27; Jn. 1:1; Isa. 43:11,12).

Character is in separable. The Divine Nature is in the Divine Character, The Father wills the Divine Character, Thus the Divine nature dwells in the Father through the Divine Character that He wills, The Holy Spirit reveals the Character of Christ as the Divine Nature dwells in Him through Divine Character.
2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Colossians 2:9 KJV
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
God dwells in the Chracter of Christ, since the Divine Character is the explanation of the Divine Nature Jn 1:18. the two are inseparable.
The Father wills the Divine Character thus the Divine Nature dwells in the Father through Divine Character He wills.
John 5:30 KJV
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
The Holy Spirit speaks not of Himself, He reveals the Character of Christ. Thus the Divine Nature dwells in the Holy Spirit through Divine Character He reveals.
John 16:13 KJV
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Very good.post. thanks.
