Homer, so you think that 'into the name' would take away from a meaning of authority and favor name meaning a singular person?
Also, do you have any thoughts on the Holy Spirit not having a name? I would love to hear any interaction with the points I shared in the initial post on here.
Thanks

Re: The Holy Spirit - a person??
Homer, just because a word can be translated a certain way doesn't mean that one's preferred meaning gets the win so to speak. If 'name' here implies authority then singular 'name=authority' not 'names=authorities' makes sense as equally or perhaps more so than 'name=person'. So then the Acts accoun...

Re: The Holy Spirit - a person??
We tend to read Matthew 2819 as current Americans with the assumption of the word ‘name’. It carries with it the description or meaning of authority, and therefore is not a proof text for the trinity like many assume. People may then reply and say that only a person has authority, however the consti...

Re: The Holy Spirit - a person??
Brother Alan, I only have a few minutes but I will respond since there was some interaction here with one of my points I shared in the initial post- that the Holy Spirit doesn't have a name. You share that he does that it is 'the Holy Spirit' that is a title and not a name, Yahweh and Jesus are name...

The Holy Spirit - a person??
if you are a person you have a name- so what is the Holy Spirit's name? as far as I can tell the Holy Spirit does not have a name We have Yahweh, we have Jesus and then ....? NT greetings- if the Trinity is true, then you would expect a common greeting from God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and ...

Re: when Jesus died - what actually died?
Brother Alan, since this includes the basic concepts about the Trinity I will start a post about a basic part of the Trinity which is very unconvincing.

Re: when Jesus died - what actually died?
Brother Alan, for sake of conversation I will answer your question but please speak to mine that I had as well. That the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God and not plainly revealed in scripture- I know what verses people go to, to set up the formula- I used to teach the trinity that way too. I w...

Re: when Jesus died - what actually died?
Brother Alan, just because you say 'the Holy Scriptures reveal to us .....' does not make it so. the Trinity is not the fundamental belief of authentic Christianity because it is not even stated in Scripture, and no I do not mean the word Trinity, but the very concept is not explicitly taught and at...

when Jesus died - what actually died?
Did only part of Jesus die? Just his humanity/human nature?
Was it just his physical death?
Did God die?
How do you guys handle this ?
thanks
