    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    There are three names. If name is repeated like, the name of the father and the name of the son, and the name of the holy spirit, then the three genitives would be forced to have one name. Appositional, noun groups in Hebrew and Greek are like that.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    I am reluctant call it a trinity instead of a mild triad.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Wrong, because even English isn't so clear cut. The names were thought to be the three natures or hypostases.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    Supposedly, Akiba knew who Jesus was, and rightfully it is a crock. After the second coming, and post temple, Bar Kochba was confused with Jesus. But a witness about the original LXX is not worth ignoring. Even when talking about the tower of Babel, God says, "Let me..." It is not a sin to...

    "i shall make man" talmud in Bing returns an AI entry that says it does. Searching further, I will find the reference. It is in Megillah 9a though have trouble getting the number of the Talmud verse.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    All things could be anything in Greek, and it is talking about the Church. All were made not created at him. There are few words in Greek for the creation of something out of nothing, and Lexicon :: Strong's G2936 - ktizō κτίζω is not one of them. He is also the "the firstborn from the dead"...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    The doctrine is man made and started with the gentile Valentinus.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    And I doubt very much that James White is one, but he is prone or was prone to thinking salvation is not choice when someone doesn't believe Jesus is God. The parable of the Good Samaritan proves otherwise. Obeying the laws is more important.

    Is the claim of only one God false? - How many gods are there?

    There is only one authentic God who created the elevations and soil, and even the universe. But other creatures are authentically Gods who either die like men or what we will be when we die.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    I have noticed in the post temple Christian church that the triad evolved into the trinity doctrine. Ignatius was one of the first to believe Jesus created the universe, but Justin Martyr was the first to take the divine stoic logos and create Metatron as part of the Triad. Reading Justin, one...

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    So this rendering hasn't changed since Wycliffe. Interesting. I thought I could blame Willian Tyndale.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    This does not prove the word is singular in existence or special in Greek or Hebrew. There is good news for Abraham, and good news for the early 1st century Church.
