Now lets get the First and the Last correct and lets eliminate this silly notion that there are three persons in the Godhead.
evidence #1. the Titles LORD, and Lord. one poster admitted that both title are interchangable. good, that means that the persons, more than one goes out the door, and here's why.
Hebrews 1:6 "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."Hebrews 1:7 "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire."Hebrews 1:8 "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."Hebrews 1:9 "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."Hebrews 1:10 "And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:"
two verses to examine.
a. verse 8, "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God" O God here is the definite article. which means, a determiner ( the in English) that introduces a noun phrase and implies that the thing mentioned has already been mentioned. now God is the noun, so what was mention before? answer, But unto the Son. BINGO. the "Son". but the SON is describe as GOD. so is there two Gods?. read it again. I heard a unitarian say here in Hebrew 1:8 that Jesus as God, which he didn't deny the definite article used on the Son, but foolishly said, that Jesus had a God over him. This was a scholar, but he lied, and other scholars knew that he had lie also. but in protection of what he believed he said it anyway. well this is what many a christian's face today, protect what they believe, and lie to protect it. well the lies are catching up with you, or has caught up with you.
now listen to the verse, "therefore God, even thy God", as the scholar stated, "Jesus have a God". ..... are you kidding yourself? God have a God, just think on what the verse is saying? "therefore God, even thy God" so do we have a God within a God? notice the verse did not say, "therefore God, even thy Father". see the difference. but no the verse said, THY GOD". as the lying scholar said, "Jesus as God have a God. well lets see if this is true, for our next verse prove this lie out.
b. verse 10. "And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:"
ok, the verse said, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth". hold it, was it NOT the LORD, all caps who laid the foundation of the world? lets check the record. Zechariah 12:1 "The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him."wait a minute, was it not the "Lord", in Hebrew 1:10 who laid the foundation of the earth. or did the bible just contridicted itself? answer NO, which means the LORD, all caps, and the Lord is the same one person. and the Lord is the "Son", and the LORD is the Father.... right. or as one poster said, the LORD, and the Lord is interchangable. well if so, then all separation and distiction of persons goes right out the door.
well lets check the record once more to be sure, for by the MOUTH of two witness let every word may be established, RIGHT. Matthew 18:16 "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."
witness #2. lets get a famous verse that many know, Job 38:1 "Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,"Job 38:2 "Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?"Job 38:3 "Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me."Job 38:4 "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding." BINGO.
see how easy it is that, one don't have to lie, but present scripture to back up your claim......
now here's the dilemma. either the LORD, the Lord, the Father, the Son are the same person, else you have two separate and distinct Gods, see Hebrew 1:8 and 10. for if you say it's three person, and one God, then you have three person interchanging titles/hat. you have the "Son" playing the "Father" today, and tommorrow, the Father the "Holy Spirit", and so. see that's nothing but modalism in REVERSE. where as one person wear three hats, at different times... "interchangable", with the trinity, it's three persons switching around three hats. one is Father today, tommorrow, he,s the son... "interchangable".
so either you have two, or three separate persons as God, which is modalism in REVERSE. or we have one person who is "Diversified" in flesh holding two titles simultaneously, and that's my friends is diversified oneness
for the bible is clear as day. the LORD (Father), the ordinal FIRST, is the Lord (Son), the ordinal LAST, diversified in flesh as a man. BINGO.
Now the bible gives us the answer as to how God is a diversity of himself, and so have we. now it's up to you to find the TRUTH.
