I think that is in Acts during Stephen's martyrdom.

Here it is; Acts 7:
55 But he, being full of the aHoly Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the bglory of cGod, and dJesus estanding on the fright hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I asee the heavens bopened, and the cSon of man standing on the right dhand of eGod. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their aclothes at a byoung man’s feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they astoned bStephen, ccalling upon dGod, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my espirit.

We have instances in Bible that Godhead seems to be obviously seperate. --Christ's baptism --Christ referring to Father as entity outside himself --Christ referring to Holy Ghost as seperate entity --Stephen's vision at his stoning Early Christians had all this as evidence, but still persisted in the Trinity doctrine. Maybe Joseph Smith's vision did NOT bring new evidence to mankind on the nature of God. Maybe it's not so hard to believe that Joseph did not walk away perfectly understanding things. In that context, it might even be easier to understand why he would describe them as one personage. ? Maybe I'm stretching. |
