    Genesis : Trinity

    So you have the spirit of God, are born again, can and do understand that which God did not communicate in language that can be understood by us. Is that right? It sounds like you are saying that you and everyone like you will be the additional persons who is God. Is that what you’re saying?

    Genesis : Trinity

    Let’s go with your position, for the sake of discussion: God does not communicate with us using language that we can understand. Spiritual discernment: You’ve got it; so you say. What is it? I recognize your argument. A number of years ago I spoke with a trinitarian on a discussion forum who...

    The One Baptism

    Way. Your theologians know this. Rabbis. [One of your fellow trinitarians identifies Rabbinical Judaism as the source of the Trinity / trinitarianism, not Christianity. That thread would be an appropriate place, a very good place, for your “No way!” reaction.] Judaism existed long before...

    The One Baptism

    The religion of all twelve tribes of Israel was Judaism. All twelve tribes were therefore Jewish. Judah was merely one of the twelve.

    Genesis : Trinity

    My position is that God communicates with us using words that we can understand. More than three persons?

    Genesis : Trinity

    You believe Moses is a trinitarian. Do you also believe Jesus is a trinitarian?

    The One Baptism

    The religion of Moses and Jesus is Judaism. Christianity began as a sect of Judaism. That’s right. Moses is from the tribe of Levi. Jesus is from the tribe of Judah. Paul is from the tribe of Benjamin.

    What is the light of the world?

    Just as your word is you. There is life (in all of its various forms) only because of God, who is the source of life. That’s right.

    Genesis : Trinity

    I thought you presented your position on and against scholarship quite clearly. My advice to readers remains the same: Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically. I apply that to everything I read, including what you’ve written. *** Proposition: “Moses is a trinitarian.”...

    Genesis : Trinity

    Jesus and the apostles, like Moses, are Jews. Trinitarianism comes to us from the Church in post-biblical times, not from the Jews.

    Genesis : Trinity

    Your message to readers: Beware trinitarian commentary. Listen to my commentary. Those who don’t are ignorant, etc. This reader has already told you what he thinks about your commentary. Maybe others will find it persuasive. P.S. A reminder to readers: My advice is to read everything...

    The One Baptism

    How did you arrive at that conclusion? Circumcision is required in the Mosaic law. If the Jews were never required to be circumcised then the Jews were never required to keep the law of Moses.

    The One Baptism

    1. See Acts 23:6. 2. The religion of the tribe of Benjamin was Judaism.

    What is the light of the world?

    “Your word is a lamp to walk by, and a light to illumine my path.” (Psalm 119:109, NET)

    What is the light of the world?

    God’s word (Gk. logos). “In it was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4, GNV) http://www.genevabible.org/files/Geneva_Bible/New_Testament/John.pdf

    What is the light of the world?

    I had John 3:16 in mind.

    Confusion of "The LORD's Name"?

    Food for thought. (Nick Nicholas, “What is Yahweh’s name (Hebrew) translated into Ancient Greek?”) What is Yahweh’s name (Hebrew) translated into Ancient Greek?

    Confusion of "The LORD's Name"?

    Back to the mountain out of a grain of sand - Paul preached Iesous to Greek speaking Jews and Gentiles. Strong's Greek: 2424. Ἰησοῦς (Iésous) -- Jesus or Joshua, the name of the Messiah, also three other Isr.

    Confusion of "The LORD's Name"?

    Non-English speaking Malawians had a difficult time pronouncing my given name when I was working in remote areas of Malawi. There is no equivalent for it in Chichewa, the native language. In villages I was called “Munthu wa dziko,” or sometimes just “dziko”. Munthu wa dziko = “Man of land”...
