  1. I don't know about a Godhead, exactly. I haven't read about that in the bible. Maybe it's meaning that the preacher who is head of the church.

    The Holy Spirit is our comforter. He helps us understand the mysteries of God, He comforts us, He dwells in us, He is God's Spirit that is given to all believers.  


  2. The Godhead is the trinity itself.  It is Gods being that saints will see face to face when they die.  The Godhead consists of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God.  The spirit is what dwells inside Christians (should anyway).  From reading the bible it seems to me that God the father stays in heaven (not because he's forced to but because he chooses), Jesus the son is the word of God the father.  He is God as well but Jesus is the essence of God brought down in physical form.  The spirit is the comforter Jesus promised the desciples would come after he asceneded into heaven.  The spirit gives all men the ability and strength to be Christlike.

  3. The GODHEAD is another term for the Trinity as a whole.

    The Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity...coequal, coeternal.

  5. To give the answer in it's simplest form, God is the Creator, The Son is the Word, and the Holy Spirit is the Witness.

    In the gospel of John chapter 1 it talks about how the Word was with God in the beginning and was made flesh in Jesus Christ. In 1st John Chapter 5, the Holy Spirit is mentioned as The Truth. You'll also see where although the Bible doesn't directly say the word 'Trinity', this is where it is found.

    1John5:6-11

    6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

    7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

    8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

    9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

    10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

    11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

    Lastly, if you're trying to explain/describe the One True Living God exactly, it's impossible. The finite cannot comprehend the infinite. The best thing we can do is the read the entire Bible front to back to get a small idea of what He is, and then live by His laws.

  6. The term, 'Godhead' is found three times in the KJV translation.  Perhaps the most revealing of these three verses with respect to the term's meaning is Colossians 2:9 where it says (speaking of Jesus Christ), "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

    The same verse in other translations renders the term, 'Godhead' as, 'fullness of Deity'.  

    The other two verses in the KJV that use the term, 'Godhead' are Acts 17:29, and Romans 1:20.

    Holy Spirit is the Spirit that proceeds from God the Father and God the Son.  The Holy Spirit, who is also spoken of as the Comforter, descended and indwelt Christians on Pentecost as is documented in Acts 2.  All Christians share in the Holy Spirit.  He dwells in each Christian's heart.

  7. I think the Godhead as it relates to the trinity refers to 3 beings- God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit- all together in 1 being.  Being separate beings but 1 being.  This has always confused me.  I have always believed the Godhead to be 3 distinct beings which are one in purpose and love.

  8. God is one, but manifested in 3 persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is the Godhead. You know how you have different aspects to your personality, but are still one person? Kind of like that, though that is a simplification. The Holy Spirit means the part of God that dwells inside a born-again Christian. It is referred to sometimes in the Bible as the "Helper" or "Counselor." Through the Holy Spirit we have some access to the mind of God, and are given gifts such as faith, wisdom, discernment, prophecy, etc. The Holy Spirit does not leave us. Jesus told His disciples that it was better for Him to ascend to Heaven and leave them, so that the Helper could come to them. It was only after His ascension that the Holy Spirit was sent to them.

  9. At Colossians 2:9 the word in the Greek that the New World Translation renders “divine quality” is theótes, and this is the only use of the word in the Christian Greek Scriptures. The same is true of a similar Greek word, theiótes, which appears only at Romans 1:20, and which the New World Translation there renders “Godship,” as follows: “For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.”

    Liddell and Scott’s A Greek-English Lexicon, in its new ninth edition, completed in 1940 and reprinted in 1948, Volume I, defines the two terms in the light of ancient usages apart from the Scriptures. Theiótes it defines as “divine nature, divinity” (page 788). Theótes it defines in exactly the same way, as “divinity, divine nature,” and then cites as an example Colossians 2:9. In this connection it shows that the similar Greek expression, dia theóteta, means “for religious reasons.”

    God is invisible to human eyes (Ex 33:20; Joh 1:18; 1Ti 1:17), and he is alive and exercises unsurpassed force throughout the universe. (2Co 3:3; Isa 40:25-31) Christ Jesus states: “God is a Spirit [Pneu′ma].” The apostle writes: “Now Jehovah is the Spirit.” (Joh 4:24; 2Co 3:17, 18)

    God’s “only-begotten son,” the Word, was a spirit person like his Father, hence “existing in God’s form” (Php 2:5-8), but later “became flesh,” residing among mankind as the man Jesus. (Joh 1:1, 14) Completing his earthly course, he was “put to death in the flesh, but [was] made alive in the spirit.” (1Pe 3:18)

    Angels are designated by the terms ru′ach and pneu′ma in a number of texts. (1Ki 22:21, 22; Eze 3:12, 14; 8:3; 11:1, 24; 43:5; Ac 23:8, 9; 1Pe 3:19, 20) In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the majority of such references are to wicked spirit creatures, demons.—Mt 8:16; 10:1; 12:43-45; Mr 1:23-27; 3:11, 12, 30.
