Triune God vs. unholy trinity

(will continue with my travelogue this evening. In meantime, here's more on the universal law of three:)

John writes in Revelation 16:13, “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.”

This is what’s called the ‘unholy trinity’—Satan (the dragon), the Antichrist (the beast) and the false prophet.

The next verse: [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

“There are some demonic devil spirits, spirits of devils, working miracles. You never want to take what appears to be a supernatural event and think because it’s supernatural in appearance that God's doing it," says Richard Jordan.

“The only way you’re going to know if it’s God doing it is if you can find verses in the Bible that say God did it. That’s how you authenticate God doing it. Otherwise you won’t know if it’s these guys doing it or not.

“Now, I understand that you go into the average church today, or the average Christian bookstore, or turn on the average Christian TV or radio show, or talk to the average Christian today, the standard for authenticity in the Christ life is your EXPERIENCE.

"There’s a bumper sticker: ‘My God is not dead; I talked to Him this morning’. I used to see that and say, ‘Man, that’s terrible! Every Muslim you know does that! Every Hindu you know talked to 15-20 of his gods this morning!' Your experience is only as good as somebody else’s experience. There’s no authority in that!

“We have a song in our song book, ‘He lives, I know He lives.’ Why? ‘Because He lives in my heart.’ That’s not good enough for some, though. The reason you know Jesus Christ is alive today is there is demonstrable evidence you could prove in a court of law.

*****

“You know why the godhead is a trinity? Because that’s who God is. The Muslims says, ‘God is one.’ No, He’s not. He’s one God (there’s only one God) but He’s in three persons.

“Did you know a Muslim will cut your head off for that? Their teachings, their doctrine, their religion says you’re a heretic if you don’t believe there’s only one God, one person, one All-Supreme Allah?

“You can be supreme—the top dog—if you’re just one, but you know there’s some limitations to you. Adam was alone and God said it wasn’t good. That’s not the kind of life the trinity lives.

“You can have two people and you can have unity and harmony and you can say, ‘Well I love you,’ but you know, it’s hard to love when it’s just two people. You know why? Because you never know for sure what would happen if a third person came along. ‘Would they love each other and not me?

“To have community you have to have three or more. And with community, you can have not only harmony, but you can have real love and living for others. When there’s two, you can live for the other person but it’s you doing it and getting the byproduct. When there’s three or more, you can live for ANOTHER and it be just genuine living.

“The kind of life the godhead lives, the kind of life He gave you, is a life where God the Father lives for God the Son, and God the Son lives for the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit lives to glorify the Son.

“Each member of the godhead lives in community for the other. That’s why Paul says, ‘To make all men see what is the fellowship.’ He didn’t say, ‘Make everybody just see the (dispensational) chart.’ He said, ‘Let everybody see the life of Christ in you; the life of the triune God living in you.’ "
