NO, that isn't at all correct, Stan. It simply means multiple gods. Also, I don't think it means feminine at all.

NO, that isn't at all correct, Stan. It simply means multiple gods. Also, I don't think it means feminine at all.Actually it's a feminine plural name for a singular God.
There is only one God --- read Isaiah.
Revelation 1 : 17-18 — The one God who was the first and the last died and rose again!
Hebrews 1 : 1, 2, 8 — God the Father calls the Son, "God."
Acts 5 : 3-4 --Peter calls the Holy Spirit, "God."
John 6 : 27 --Jesus calls the Father, "God."
The Trinity Revealed in the Resurrection
1. Acts 10 : 39-40 — God raised Christ from the dead.
2. 1 Thessalonians 1 : 10 — God the Father raised the Son from the dead.
3. Romans 8 : 11 — God the Spirit raised the Son from the dead.
4. John 2 : 19-22 — God the Son raised Himself from the dead.
The Trinity Revealed in the Creation
1. The Father: Isaiah 64:8.
2. The Son: Colossians 1:15-17.
3. The Holy Spirit: Job 33:4.
God doesn't pray to Himself (garden of Gethsemane), God is not a ventriloquist(baptism of Jesus), The Father sent His Son, The Son sent the Holy Spirit, the Son said "WE will make our abode with you."
The Son is not the Father:
John 8
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John 16
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
Galatians 4
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are able to:
(A) Send or be sent by one another (John 3:17, 10:36, 14:23-26, 15:26, 16:7).
(B) Speak to each other (John 17:1-26, Romans 8:26-27, Hebrews 1:7-8) and about each other (Matthew 17:5, Mark 1:11, John 8:13-18).
(C) The Father and Son love each other (John 3:35, 5:20, 14OK, but then how is there one God? You seem to be saying the Father, Son, and Spirit constitute three unique personalities. If so, then you have three gods, not one. Also, you appear make the Father and Father alone God, the Boss of bosses, with Christ and the Spirit being lesser beings, the Father's lieutenants.
Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit(Luke 3:16). Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit (John 14:26).
Jesus ascended to His Father.
The Holy Spirit can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30 "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.")
I am being very serious here. There is nothing in Isa. to indicate that the Wonderful Counselor refers to the Spirit, for example. Also, what I pointed out about John is absolutely true of John. It is also true, too, that all paul"s greetings are in the name of the Father and Son, with no mention of teh Spirit. I'm just giving you some facts of teh matter here.You in red.
This is what I actually said:
May be a problem for you if you aren't robed in the Holy Spirit you are coming up with human reasoning which will fall short. If the Three are One then their jobs are the same on some level.
The you is used in the general sense.
I gave no accusation at all...if you re-read your post to me you said: Patience and prayer are fine things, but aren't going to do the whole job here. The trinity is a very complex and problematic doctrine and so we really need to put our thinking caps on.
Not a serious answer at all for this "serious theological discussion".
And yes, if the three are one their jobs not only overlap, but are identical...one sees a demonstration of this in Scripture. The Father and the Son are our Savior, Jesus says He'll send the Holy Spirit and refers to Himself as the Holy Spirit. They are One God.
Also, for a serious theological discussion, I think it is out-of-bounds on your part to make a comment like, "the Holy Spirit isn't mentioned there...I comment and point out via Scripture that He and you return with: yes, buts. Don't think for a moment that I don't see your shifts...here's an example...
I posted Isaiah 9:6-7 and you responded to these passages saying: Yes, but you see this says nothing abut the Holy Spirit.
I followed up with Isaiah 9:6-7 and an explanation to show the Holy Spirit is the Wonderful Counselor. You respond: Yes, I am well aware of that. I am simply pointing out that the Holy Spirit is often left out of the picture. John doesn't get to the Spirit until about chapter 13.
So, if you want to be taken so very serious then speak serious.
NO, that isn't at all correct, Stan. It simply means multiple gods. Also, I don't think it means feminine at all.
It was an answer to the heresies that were rampant at that time. The One God in Three Persons has existed eternally.
Actually it does but you just don't seem to know the bible!Do you need a hug today?
The old Testiment scriptures themselves aside from the Jews humanity doesn't teach about God the Son.
Let me introduce you to what's always been in the bible about the triune God despite you unfounded claims.That's not what the Scriptures teach and it's not what the first Christians believed.
You keep failing to mention the Holy Spirit. What gives?Let me introduce you to what's always been in the bible about the triune God despite you unfounded claims.

5 Let the same mind be in you that was even in Christ Jesus,
6 Who being in the form of God, thought it no robbery to be equal with God:
7 But he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the form of a servant, and was made like unto men, and was found in shape as a man.
1 Corinthians 8:4

It would be more accurate to say "if it goes against one's interpretation of God's word."A heresy is only an heresy if it goes against God's word. It is a fact that most main line churches beliefs are wrong!
Nope, the Jews didn't think of God as having a divine Son through whom the world was created much less a Trinity of heavenly beings then or now. The quote you are forcing Jesus into is not understood in Judaism they way it sounds. http://www.whatjewsbelieve.org/prooftext6is96.htmlActually it does but you just don't seem to know the bible!
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, and unto us a Son is given: and the government is upon his shoulder, and he shall call his name, Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of peace.
Whoops huh?
No, the Jews rejected Jesus because he did not fulfill OT prophecies, which were that the Messiah would restore the nation of Israel to its former glory.The Jews largely rejected God and His word throughout the OT and the Jews rejected Jesus even when He was among them which makes you point moot.
You claimed "It reveals that God has a divine Son, but because the Old Testiment doesn't teach that, the Jews largely rejected Jesus based on their scripture." And now you know you're wrong and just can't bring yourself to be honest. Because this is TEACHING is indeed found in the OT....Nope, the Jews didn't think of God as having a divine Son through whom the world was created much less a Trinity of heavenly beings then or now.

I hat to say it, but the "oops" is on your part. "The everlasting father" can also be translated as the Father of Eternity, which denotes an eart5hly king presiding over his people. The "mighty God" can also be translated as "God-like Hero." It means that God works through the king, not that the king is God per se.You claimed "It reveals that God has a divine Son, but because the Old Testiment doesn't teach that, the Jews largely rejected Jesus based on their scripture."

Throughout the OT. Look at what Isaiah has to day. How can you miss it?There's over 300 references in the Old Testament to the coming of the Messiah and I have not seen one that says; "he came to restore the nation of Israel to its former glory". Where exactly did you find that?
One verse "hints" at it. So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” Acts 1:6 It's hinted at because the idea of "restore the kingdom to Israel" is not being disputed by Jesus.There's over 300 references in the Old Testament to the coming of the Messiah and I have not seen one that says; "he came to restore the nation of Israel to its former glory". Where exactly did you find that?
