    Did Jesus die on Friday?

    Another way "three days and three nights" can be understood is by using the Greek copula "καί" that connects the two phrases "three days and (Gk: "καί") three nights", as an explicative copula having the meaning of "three days, even three nights". The clarifying phrase "three nights" being...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    You have to understand the single owner Corporation concept. One person with separate and distinct offices/titles.

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Within the Corporate structure of the Godhead, the prayer occurs between two separate and distinct Officers (Father and Son), and consequently, Jesus (first person) addresses the Father as "You" (second person). However, both Officers (Father and Son) are the same God/Lord.

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Thanks for the kindness... I don't doubt your sincerity. And, if what you believe is what the Spirit of Christ has shown you, than go with it. For myself, I received a different revelation, but it took years for me to understand it. Shortly after calling on Jesus for salvation (I was 17...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Well, because people often become angry/depressed and grief stricken after losing a spouse. Especially if it occurs later in life. That grief can often be projected onto others, loved ones in particular, without knowing it. Not necessarily intentionally, but as a coping mechanism until the...

    I'm not sure what that symbol means, but OK, if not, that's great! Back to the thread...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Why would I accept something that is not true? The Holy Spirit guards me against such things. I rely on His witness within me. On a side note: You come across this forum as an angry person. Perhaps an elderly person who might have lost his/her spouse. Are you by chance in this condition?

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Yes I did read it, and none of it was convincing, particularly in light of what Jesus said in Mar 12:29.

    I've already dealt with all your criticisms in post #11 and #52.

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Can you explain why it has to be "plural persons", and it must be so without exception? I've read your posts in this thread and the other threads you've linked to. Every scripture you've supplied so far can be understood within the framework of a single owner Corporation concept. And in so...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Do you understand the concept of a single owner/person corporation? You might not have them in the UK. If I recall, the UK only has single owner businesses as Sole Trader, unincorporated.

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    It is plural, there is really no question about that. The question is: plural what? Instead of thinking of the Godhead as plural persons, think of the Godhead like a Corporation. A single owner Corporation. If we explore this Corporation further, the single owner Corporation consists of...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    I think you're rather the one confused here...lol You stated the trinity as being: "one Godhead in three persons". That is quite different than the dictionary's: "three persons in one Godhead". Don't you think? For instance, if I say: All things are in Christ (Col 1:16, Act 17:28) which is...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    The LXX need not have been directly inspired by God to convey truths of the underlying Hebrew Text. Truth can emerge from a variety of sources without necessarily having to be "divinely inspired", and yet at the same time remain true. An example of this is found in scripture, here: Act 17:28...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    My argument isn't that the LXX was divinely inspired, but rather that it gives insight into the meaning and understanding of the Hebrew text, particularly with regards to it's grammar, syntax and idioms. This "man-made translation" that you eschew/criticize of having "little value" was used and...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    I'm not so sure that's the definition of the trinity by the way. Here is how I understand what the trinity is: Definition of Trinity (taken from Merriam-Webster Dictionary) 1 : the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead according to Christian dogma. Has this...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    And yet, you've not responded to posts #9 and #11, how they're "wrongly quoted" or having a "flawed application", other than by casting your insults far and wide and hoisting up your assertions with overworked and tired dogma. The rest of your comments are really not worth replying to.

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Your assertion that the Bible teaches a trinitarian concept of God hasn't been established. You've simply made the assertion, which is easy to do, but in so doing violated what Jesus Himself taught, here: Mar 12:29 and Jesus answered him—'The first of all the commands is , Hear, O Israel, the...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    I understand your assertion, though I don't agree with it insofar as it applies to the Oneness of God doctrine. What I would like you to do is tell me how the following Greek texts (copied from post #9) are being misquoted and/or misapplied. Can you do this for me? 1. The LXX of Gen 1:27...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    With regards to the Divinity of Christ that we're discussing here, no they are not. To the best of my knowledge, Unitarians deny Christ's deity. The Oneness of God doctrine affirms the full deity of Jesus: That Jesus is the Eternal God, YHWH manifested in the flesh (1Ti 3:16). The One in...
