The term "god" used here - is it categorical ?????
 
Quote from rcj:

Is it so that this is some sort of Trinitarian situation ????

*Our Father* + Christ + Spirit

Yes, the *Holy Spirit* saves the mind of Christ from its antithetical expression: *unholy flesh*. Flesh imprisons a hypothetically fragmented mind, making it un-whole. Separated, the mind is sickened and becomes compromised. The Holy Spirit stands in for the whole mind of Christ while the fragments are regathered to comprise once again, the One.

The Father is the Cause of Christ, the Son of God, giving him all power...all of reality...all of everything, even Himself. The makes the Son an equal. Nevertheless, the Son of God is the Effect of the Father. The creation of the Holy Spirit was occasioned as the Son thought to reverse Cause and Effect. I'll call this the Great Reversal, in which the Son expresses the antitheses of himself for no apparent reason except curiosity. Reversing cause and effect conceptually, the Son makes his own father, which becomes an "idol" upon the alter of the Son's devotion to his true Cause.

The antithesis finds a "place" within his mind by fiat of belief, and immediatly attempts to possess it. The Holy Spirit exorcises the belief from the wandering mind of the "wayward Son" and saves his mind [think: temple] from insanity and desolation.

This is a long story made short. :D

To "be baptized into the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" means to be made familiar with the story of Cause and Effect, its Great Reversal, and the truth about the genesis and exodus from a hypothetical, antithetical dream world in the mind of Christ through the healing words of the Holy Spirit.

Want to be baptized? Ok, maybe "flooded" would be a better word. It tends to wash away "man" from the face of the Christ. :D

In the Bible, Jesus spoke in parables.
You seem to as well.

I could never fathom why this is so.

Can you explain the reasoning behind using a cryptic type language please.
Is it so it’s deliberately made a bit tough for a particular reason ?

Thank you.

you mean like hitler?

John Hagee, the controversial evangelical leader and endorser of Sen. John McCain, argued in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine.

Hitler tried to kill every Jew. In the end Israel became a nation
again after not being one for about 1875 years.

God, is a superior form of life, so to speak. The Father
can do whatever He wants. He does desire to save a minority
of people from Hell. Since I don't know if there are any on this
list I just assume there might be one.

Maybe this will help:

14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15For he says to Moses,
"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."[f] 16It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. 17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."[g] 18Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

19One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' "[h] 21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?

Quote from stephenszpak:

Also, it is important to know that God utilizes people at times.
He performs His will through them.

No it isn't and No He doesn't.

============================================
You said "No He doesn't." In other words you said, God
doesn't utilize people. God therefore exists according to
your phrasing.

Anyway got to go for now,

I think you'll find you are wrong.
Unfortunately for the religious , my phrasing doesn't bring God into existence.

However from my phrasing I suggest it would be a little more pertinent to first consider non-existence as a reason why God doesn't utilize people, rather than existence, as you have done.
