    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, Are you saying that the Cherubim with four different heads each and with burning calves feet are a literal breed of Angels? And the Living Creatures with four different heads EACH are another miscellaneous breed of Angels? I need to carefully consider some of the NT...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Adventageous, I appreciate the long list of quotations. The Cherubim of Ezekiel 1 had four faces apiece, a lion, an eagle, an ox and a man, and feet like calves feet burning as with coals of fire and also FOUR wings. The Seraphim faces are not described, but each had SIX wings...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Wrangler, I suggest that in part the concept of wings is derived by considering that the Cherubim, Seraphim and also the Living Creatures of Revelation 4 are different varieties of Angels, rather than symbolic creatures. The Scriptures are very clear that the Angels on occasions...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, My Post was not addressed directly to you and I tried to abbreviate my reply to Adventageous's two very long and detailed Posts while at the same time covering most of the ground. My understanding and definition of the word Elohim is that the One God, Yahweh, God the...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Adventageous, I appreciate the detailed replies but my answers may be brief. I am the Librarian for our meeting but also have a large personal collection. I have a fairly large box with SDA material that I have collected over the years, books and literature, some detailing my...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Wrangler, I consider "Jehovah" is definitely a wrong translation and LORD is only used to indicate that this is translated from YHWH rather than Lord which is translated from Adon or Adonai. I am happy with the use of Yahweh, but cannot prove that this is the most accurate. I...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Adventageous, I have now had a quick read/browse of Chapters 1 and 2. There is far too much detail for me to respond to and even understand. I most probably have a different view of Elohim, and part of this is the fact that I include the Angels in Genesis 1:26. Also I am...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Adventageous, I have downloaded your book but will not be able to start to read it until this afternoon when I start my PC. I will leave a response to most of these two Posts until I gain a better perspective from your book, even though I was surprised by some of your detail in...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, Yes, I added the comment on Psalm 110:1 about 20 minutes after my Post. This forum allows editing at any time, while some forums only allow about 10 minutes. One thing that one of our Youth Leaders impressed upon us over 60 years ago was the benefit of marking in our...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, I am not a scholar, but I have spent a good deal of time over the years considering Elohim and YHWH and Chapter 1 pages 1-19 and Chapter 2 pages 20-43 appear to be very relevant and this does not seem to be too great a task. Btw, my last interaction with you was...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again Adventageous, I appreciate your response. I am not sure if you have examined or understood Strongs' #3068 and 3069. I have in the past quoted these different occurrences of the YHWH Name from Isaiah 50 and I can supply this if you are interested. I would have preferred that you...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings Adventageous, Looking at Strong's #3068, Jehovah is arrived at by using the vowel points of Adonai, while # 3069 is arrived at by using the vowel points of Elohim. Thus Jehovah is an incorrect rendition of the YHWH Name. Kind regards Trevor

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, The words of the Psalm have been spoken or written by David, but in verse 1 Yahweh is speaking to David's Lord. Jesus. Although written in the past tense, it is a prophecy of events that would happen after the crucifixion, death, resurrection and exaltation of our...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, You are correct in a sense, but it is the One God, Yahweh, God the Father, "I will be", "He will be" who came down in and through the human Jesus the Son of God by birth, character and then by resurrection. The vision of Psalm 110:1 does not show three persons sitting...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, Solomon clearly states that heaven is God's dwelling place: 2 Chronicles 6:19–21 (KJV): 19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: 20...

    The Yahweh Name

    Greetings GodsGrace, Yes, very important. I suggest that the correct rendition is "I will be", speaking of what God would accomplish and in the context of Exodus 3 God was about to deliver Israel out of Egypt and bring them into the Promised Land. Kind regards Trevor

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, I have now listened to this second video and in the process I took fairly thorough reference notes to indicate what passage was being discussed and what time on the video he speaks of this particular passage or concept. He likes to use the phrase as his theme "The...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, I belong to a world wide fellowship, possibly not well known or represented in Italy. The pioneer of my present fellowship gave an exposition of the Yahweh Name in 1858 before a large audience of Jews in New York. This was partly in response to a Trinitarian Jew who...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Greetings again GodsGrace, No, it is also held by most prominent Protestant Churches. No, I am not a JW and I use the Name Yahweh. JWs have many errors in their teaching. I believe that the Little Horn of Daniel 7 is the Papacy and also most of the prominent Protestants of the Reformation also...
