Re: One God in Three Persons

Theo_Book, Dale and I have discussed with you about the nature of God. We say the Lord our God is One God and eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. You say there is only God the Father, who is the Spirit, and Jesus is a created being. I agree that we have not adeq...

Re: One God in Three Persons

Dear Theo_Book, It is very probable that we will never convince you to take a trinitarian view, nor is it likely that you will shake us out of that view. So it may be more edifying to let it go. But one last question if I may. What do you do with the fact that in Hebrews 1:8 the Father says to the ...

Re: One God in Three Persons

Alright, Theo_Book. I'll work on it... But remember, Emmanuel means, "God with us"! Love, Jim Right! It is a reminder that God is with us in his prophecied plans to save us. Gen 10:28 "... Abimael..." *Abimael means "My Father is El (God)."Was this Jesus in the Old Tes...

Re: One God in Three Persons

John 20:26-29 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" 27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put...

Re: One God in Three Persons

Jesus was telling the Jewish leaders that before Abraham existed, He already existed. Jesus' statement cannot reasonably be construed to be saying he was prophesied before Abraham existed. The plain meaning of the statement is that before Abraham was, Jesus was. That conclusion makes scripture cont...

Re: One God in Three Persons

God told Moses that "I am" sent him. Jesus told the Jewish leaders, "I am". So what? Peter quoted two old testament passages, including "I AM" but no one claims Peter is God. "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord, ...

Re: One God in Three Persons

You concluded correctly that I would conclude that Jesus is claiming to be the same person that spoke to Moses in the burning bush. Are you familiar with the argumjent from "convertible terms? SAMPLES OF INCONVERTIBLE TERMS IN SCRIPTURE John 1:14 the Word was made flesh o logos sarx egeneto WH...

Re: One God in Three Persons

You concluded correctly that I would conclude that Jesus is claiming to be the same person that spoke to Moses in the burning bush. Why? Scripture does not say so. Scripture tells us God is a single person siongle being deity. Just because Jesus appears in prophesy prior to Abraham's appearance in ...

O.K. So are you telling me you did not conclude that Jesus predates Abraham? That's what trinitarians usually conclude from that verse. Have I misread your position?

Re: One God in Three Persons

Ex 3:13-15 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt...

Re: One God in Three Persons

Greetings, Theo Book, Who was it that spoke to Moses via the Burning Bush? Jim I am not convinced God spoke "via" the bush so much as "from the midst of" the bush. How is that a response to my question? Would it be out of line to offer the precise that John 1:1 is the bedrock sc...

Re: One God in Three Persons

Another thought on this same topic. In the book of Isaiah (Isaiah 48:16), the Father and the Spirit send the Son. In the book of John (John 14:26), seems the Father and the Son send the Spirit. Finally in the book of Revelation (Revelation 21:3), God Himself is promised to dwell with men. Once agai...

Re: One God in Three Persons

(drno77) Hello Theo_Book, Welcome to the discussion board! I can't help but wonder if we aren't saying the same thing from different angles in the following quote.[/quote] (TB) Actually echad references those things that are singular in nature, but exclusive; like one flesh to the exclusion of all o...
