A Question for Trinitarians

[Little-Flock]

What is the name of the "Father," "Son" and "Holy Ghost"?

 

[J_B_]

What is the name of the "Father," "Son" and "Holy Ghost"?

It feels like you're trying to set a trap. You already have an answer in mind and I'm supposed to guess it. If I don't, I get a "gotcha" response.

But ... um ... the names are Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Or are you wanting me to collectively call them the Trinity? Or Elohim? Or list out the names in Isaiah 9 ... or? I can think of many different ways to answer your question because I don't know they key issue that prompted you to ask it.

Thank you everyone for your response.

Jesus said: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: in Matthew 28:19.

I'm just wondering, if Father, Son and Holy Ghost are titles or actual names?

Throughtout the New Testament starting from the book of Acts, all the baptisms seems to be done in the name of Jesus' Christ. I don't see any examples of the disciples baptising people repeating the words of what Jesus commanded.

Just from searching the scriptures and doing my due diligence, would the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost be Jesus Christ?

Given that we already know the Son of God's name is Jesus Christ. Would the name of the Father also be Jesus Christ?

John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

John 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

If this is so, then that would make the name of the Holy Spirit to also be Jesus Christ?

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

What do you guys think? Please note that I do not say that I don't believe in the Trinity and I don't intend to cause any strifes or contentions but simply trying to search out the scriptures if these things are so, just like the people at Berea.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

God clearly said His name is I AM.

More descriptions on each person of the Trinity. But "father" is also a name and title, is it not? I would call my earthly father "Dad", "Father", etc. or I could call him by his actual name.

No, that mixes the different persons of the Trinity. They are all unified in one God, the Godhead, but they are not the same person.

 

[Yekcidmij]

What is the name of the "Father," "Son" and "Holy Ghost"?

Yahweh.

At the end of Back to the Future, how many Marty McFly's are there in the scene with the Libyans? One? Two? Are they all named Marty McFly? A Latin Trinity

At the end of Interstellar, how many "Coopers" are there? One? Two? Three? Are they all named Cooper?

 

[Clare73]

What is the name of the "Father," "Son" and "Holy Ghost"?

God. . .YAHWEH. . . LORD. . .Adonai. . .etc., etc., etc.

Pretty simple, don't you think?

 

[ViaCrucis]

What is the name of the "Father," "Son" and "Holy Ghost"?

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
YHWH
Adonai; The Lord
El-Elyon; God Most High
El-Shaddai; God Most Strong
Faithful and True
Alpha and Omega
YHWH-Sabaoth: the Lord of Hosts
YHWH-Nissi; The Lord our Banner
YHWH-Tsidkenu: the Lord our Righteousness

He has many names.

In the context of Matthew 28:19, however, it's the three-fold name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as Jesus plainly says, in this name He commands His Church to baptize. Thus is His authority, so that we baptize by the name and authority of Jesus Christ, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God has many names, but in the context of Holy Baptism this is how Christ our God has commanded we baptize.

Jesus Christ is the name of God the Son, not the Father or the Holy Spirit. Only the Son became flesh in Mary's womb, and only to Him was given the name Jesus, "You shall call His name Jesus" (Matthew 1:21).

Only the Person of the Eternal Logos, the Son, is given the name Jesus Christ. Though He also shares the names of His Father, even as the Holy Spirit also shares the names common to the Father and the Son. So the name YHWH is given to the Trinity, just as many other names of God. But in the same way that only the Father is called Father, and the Holy Spirit alone is called Holy Spirit, so only the Son is called Jesus Christ.

Noting that Jesus said that "Father, Son, Holy Spirit" is the name (singular) of God.
God is all three Persons in one Being, one name.

The name of God is triune; i.e. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Right. The name Jesus gives is "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit". Not three names, but the singular name of the Holy Trinity here.

I'm just wondering, if Father, Son and Holy Ghost are titles or actual names?

Yes -- they're titles and they're names. See, back in the day a "name" wasn't a label for identifying a person, which is what it boils down to today, it was rather a statement about who and what that person is/was. So when the prophet said that the Messiah could be called Emmanuel, he wasn't assigning a label, he was describing the Messiah's identity. So since a title describes who a person is, it is also a name in the ancient sense.

The triangle should have the Father at the top.

Neither in this case … it is an idiom (figure of speech).

Like “Stop in the name of the Law!”

“In the name of” means “by the authority of”.

Interesting read, but when it says, 'Nothing can "generate" itself', it goes off the rails: for anything at all to exist, there must be something that has always existed, i.e. that is self-generating. It doesn't matter whether the question is posed in philosophy or in science, there has to be something that exists entirely on its own and is thus its own cause.
