Ok then you tell me the names of the Gods....and then count them.
Also know that the letter J was in no language until 1400 years after Christ. Did not come into common use until 1600. They went and changed all the Y's for persons and places to J's. Yahweh...Yeshua...Yerushaláyim can be pronounced in English, there was no reason to change them. The Jews laugh at us because we do not know this! You tell me why they changed them. Hundreds of alterations to the scriptures. Technically there should not be a J in the Bible.
Most of the issues with J's can be resolved by making a trip to Jerusalem and asking them, "How do you pronounce the name of this town in Hebrew?" From there Hebrew University is in the same town.While I agree that there are no "J"s in the bible, the hard "J" sound is used in derision. e.g. Israel becomes "Jezreel"; Isabel becomes "Jezebel" etc.
nor is it a three headed God. It is a condition and a reality that is beyond our understanding, but in loose terms..... I believe and define that there are three Gods
in one Godhead which exists simultaneously in an unexplainable spiritual condition of union, that allows for the sharing of traits, principles, powers and abilities, but prevents any possibility of disagreement.
Still, this being true, they have their own individual presence, minds, will, and characters. Three Gods that can sit side by side on three thrones. (I am not going to address spiritual thrones thing, it is just referenced that way in the Bible.)
The Trinity makes sense, the scriptures that describe Them, make sense.
1. If Christ’s throne is on the right hand of God, He is not within God and that position although important is second to God the Father. Mark 16:19 “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
2. If one had to leave before the other could come, as in the case of the Holy Spirit, this would suggest individuality.
8. If a person can sin against one God worse than the other...as in the case of the un-pardonable sin. This indicates separation
Christ the God was crucified and ascended to His Father. From one place to another.
There's nothing for me to resolve. There is no hard J in Hebrew, but that doesn't negate the fact that they use a hard J when speaking in derision. I gave you examples. Are you denying this fact? They laugh at Christianity's use of GEEE-ZUS as a prime example.Most of the issues with J's can be resolved by making a trip to Jerusalem and asking them, "How do you pronounce the name of this town in Hebrew?"

To have flesh and bones is not the same as being flesh and bones. It is grammatically incorrect to equate the verb to be with the genitive of possession. There is all the difference in the world between being and having.As the 'last Adam', the seed of Abraham and the son of David, I think it fairly conclusive that Jesus was fully human. Not to mention the child of a human mother. As His own testimony declared, "no spirit has flesh and bones as you see I have".
Hello there,
This subject is divisive, and totally unnecessary.
For the word 'trinity' is not found in Scripture, however the operation of God in and through the relation of Father, the Lord Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit, are indisputable.
God knows our feeble frame, and He has spoken to us in words and in ways that we are able to comprehend.
All we are called upon to do, is to BELIEVE, RECEIVE and ACKNOWLEDGE what is written for our learning.
Not endlessly argue about concepts that are so 'other' that our finite minds are not able to do them justice.
Just rejoice in the knowledge that God has given, and don't play Satan's game of divide and conquer.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
I agree, so let's put an end to any none sense by the word of God the TRUTH, which is KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Scriptures.Not to be divisive or argumentative, but God has given us Christ who is the way, the truth and the life. Knowledge is a good thing, but it can't validate the truth. the truth is always and everywhere self evident. if we're going to debate issues, then knowledge is necessary, but it is also necessary not to mix falsehoods in with God's truth. Christ himself points out that he did not come to bring peace, but "with a sword" that cuts down to the marrow to divide the truth from lies.

Good to know the names of the Trinity...
God the Father and God the Son deserve to have their names in the Bible.

WOWThere are no names of the trinity. There is only "the name" which refers to authority, not a literal name.
The Father and the Son are not names. They are titles. The Father has no name, only the Son has a name. The name refers to authority from and through God. Jesus' name means "God's salvation", and God's salvation comes through self sacrificial obedience to the Father. Only those who are ready to obey God through self sacrifice can follow Christ.
GINOLJC, to all.The Father and the Son are the same Person; yet distinct from one another.
'It has long been known that the rays of LIGHT are threefold. We have the Heat rays, which are felt but not seen. We have the Light rays, which are seen and not felt, and we have the Actinic rays, which are known only by the effects of their chemical action (as in Photography), being neither seen nor felt. Even so it is with VAPOUR. We have it, invisible in the air, visible in the form of water, experienced in its effects.'
