I was always told the three biggies were Satan Beelzebub and bedelgeise

Yes I have heard of the unholy trinity it will be satan, the anti-christ and I believe the third one is the beast.
Also I believe the Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost are the same. He lives inside Christians and brings comfort to us and reminds us of God's promises.

bealzebub and "beetlejuice"

bedelgeise is deeper still

Default Holy Ghost

[quote=kawgpz550;742675]I agree with Dreameyes.

"Then you have Jesus that was made just a little below the angels (because He was human)" -I disagree with this statement. Truth is, Yeshwah,or Jesus as you call Him was not made a little below the angels. Consider for the moment; Would your son/daughter hold a lower status than your house help/servant? Yeshwah, being the Son of Yahweh could not have held a position below the angels. Think about it...

You got it, my friend!

There's satan, antichrist and the beast. All evil!

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Spirit). All pure holiness!

Just think, the Holy Spirit is IN us! That means we actually have a part of God IN us! Wow! That's pretty cool stuff!

That's ok if you want to disagree...It took me a while to understand the concept as well, but here's one of the verses:
Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Edit:
He was made a little below the angels, because He was human and died...angels do not die . It isn't meant that His divinity is lower than the angels though

The Holy Spirit is God's 'active force' that he uses to accomplish his purposes.
