   God is the source of Truth, His Spirit the transmitter of His truth to men,   
   as needed.

   The truth of that has been explained to you many times, yet you drop the   
   truth like a hot potato.   
   So lets look at the truth here while you mentioned "The Father" Since Jesus   
   is not the Father, but Jesus IS Jehovah, then you would have to admit that   
   you do know of the various parts of the Godhead. Even when you deny the   
   reality of the truth,

   So? Satan took advantage of his ignorance and put the ideas into his heart,   
   to do them. Which included one of his own children.

   Not you, nor any other pagan. Your god is the religion you serve.

   So since you claim both are persons, then both are Gods? Do you ever pay   
   attention to your words?
