he did not name all the animals.... he could not have..... there are animals in the oceans that Adam probably never saw.... not to mention those little insects and such....Who named Adam?
Why did God bring all the animals before Adam and whatever he called them that was there name.
Why did Adam feel compelled to name Eve?
How does that question deal with the question that in the beginning the Ruler of Heaven did not need a name? This is a conversation, not a series of points. You need to follow the conversation instead of finding a point to work on.Well what about my question about who named Jesus?
Just admit you have no way of supporting your statement about God having no name.How does that question deal with the question that in the beginning the Ruler of Heaven did not need a name?

Yes. I am quoting myself. An angel was sent to Joseph and told him to name the baby Jesus.Well what about my question about who named Jesus?
Not at your level of reasoning, I don't. And I'm glad to admit that.Just admit you have no way of supporting your statement about God having no name.
Jesus is the English name to the Hebrew name Joshua/Yeshua. He was not the first human male with that name its only Anglo Saxon culture who seems reluctant to use that name for their boy children, the Latino/Hispanic culture uses it all the time.Well what about my question about who named Jesus?
MVA, it seems you started to answer your own question by pointing out that God simply said "I am." And you then talk about the need for the Trinity to differentiate itself. From what? Something outside of the One?There are three of Them maybe They like to talk to each other.
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.MVA, it seems you started to answer your own question by pointing out that God simply said "I am." And you then talk about the need for the Trinity to differentiate itself. From what? Something outside of the One?
Maybe the Trinity isn't quite so discrete.
Scripture please to back this up.We know He has no name. When Moses asked for one He had to make up one on the spot and He gave Him a verb. It was the Hebrews who made up lots of names for Him. Strange thing is He answers no matter what name you call Him. He is more concerned about those who take His name than about those who use what they they think is His name.
are you claiming that Adam didnt finish his job that the Lord gave him to do? That was his job, to name the animals. Are you doubting his ability and intelligence to do so?he did not name all the animals.... he could not have..... there are animals in the oceans that Adam probably never saw.... not to mention those little insects and such....
What does it mean to take the Lord's name in vain? We have always seemed to equate this with swearing but it just occurred to me that is USING the Lord's Name in vain. The commandment forbids us from taking the Lord's Name in vain. This reminds me of the fact that a woman takes the name of a man when they get married. Probably the commandment is not about swearing at all but about individuals who claim the name of the Lord but do so recklessly.
Actually God goes by many names or titles. If you consider those hebrews were inspired to write the bible, then they didn't just make them up themselves.We know He has no name. When Moses asked for one He had to make up one on the spot and He gave Him a verb. It was the Hebrews who made up lots of names for Him.
That is true.Strange thing is He answers no matter what name you call Him. He is more concerned about those who take His name than about those who use what they they think is His name.
It must mean what it says. Claiming that He is your Master and not representing Him as you should. Making claims about Him that you ought to know are false, etc. We need to remember that those commands were not given to the "heathen" but to the "chosen people."
God had to MAKE UP a name on the spot!!!
Moses: What is your name.
God: Ahhhh, ummmmmm, oh yeah I AM
Yes, it was sarcastic and it made me smile! And I was curious how you personally made sense out of the pieces parts Trinity when at the same time sensing that nothing is outside of God. I find it all a bit mysterious.I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.
First I was being sarcastic - I'm sorry I didn't make that obvious.
Secondly, I believe there was a post about God being put on the spot and He needed to come up with a name - which I believe is ridiculous.
I hope that clears it up a little - if not please feel free to continue discussing this, I'll check back.
LightWorker,Yes, it was sarcastic and it made me smile! And I was curious how you personally made sense out of the pieces parts Trinity when at the same time sensing that nothing is outside of God. I find it all a bit mysterious.
There is a post in the traditionals hangout that essentially suggests that God is male and proves it from all of the references in scripture to "Him." To have the female polarity outside of God could be one of the more ridiculous ways people are unconscious to their own programming. And fears.
However, the Trinity for me has always produced a small disconnect because of its specificity. My feel/sense is more aligned with a Kabalistic cosmology. But, as with many things, I don't really know. Maybe in that unknowing there is the discovery of God!
Thanks MVA happy Sabbath.
Well said MVA.LightWorker,
I have given my opinion about the male/female aspects of God in another post, but I'll repeat it here. Just my opinion mind you.
I believe that God perfectly embodies both male and female attributes or characteristics, for we are created in His image. When He created man and woman He separated these attributes into the different genders. When a man and a woman come together in marriage they become "one flesh".
Again just my opinion.
