I am not sure if this is where you would like this question. Please move it if you have a better spot.
We have just begun studying John’s Gospel at church and in home groups. I remember a discussion on this Blog recently about whether “God” in 1 Cor 11 means the Trinity (Godhead I think was the term used) or specifically God the Father.
I may have misunderstood, but someone I think mentioned a bible college lecturer who believed that “God” generally refers to the “Trinity”.
I was wondering this same question about John1:1. How could “the Word” be “with” the Trinity.
Also in John 4:24 when Jesus says “God is spirit”- Jesus is God and He has a body.
Do you think there is a general rule, or should we just look at the context to determine whether “God” means God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, or the Trinity?
