SATAN'S GREATEST HOAX or 226 questions PROVING the doctrine of the TRINITY to be UNSCRIPTURAL! Questions 133 through 134- Trinity- a newly formed doctrine. QUESTION #133) So, when did this Trinity doctrine first get formulated? "The doctrine of the Trinity itself, however, is not a Biblical doctrine... It is the product of theological reflection upon the problem... The ecclesiastical doctrine of the Trinity is not only the product of genuine Biblical thought, it is ALSO THE PRODUCT OF PHILOSOPHICAL SPECULATION, WHICH IS REMOTE FROM THE BIBLE". -The Christian Doctrine of God, by Emil Brunner. "When one does speak of an unqualified Trinitarianism, one has moved from the period of Christian origins to, say, the last quadrant of the 4th century... From what has been seen thus far, the impression could arise that THE TRINITARIAN DOGMA IS IN THE LAST ANALYSIS A LATE 4TH CENTURY INVENTION. IN A SENSE THIS IS TRUE... The formulation 'one God in three persons' was not established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title "the Trinitarian dogma" "The New Catholic Encyclopedia" pgs. 295-305. QUESTION #134) Does the Bible state, or imply that a fuller revelation of the Godhead would be forthcoming, or does the Bible rather warn against coming false prophets who would bring in heretical doctrines? "...Teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables..." -1 Timothy 1:3-4. "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee" -1 Timothy 4:16. "Be not carried away with diverse and strange doctrines..." -Hebrews 13:9. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils..." -1 Timothy 4:1. "...There shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them... And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of" -2 Peter 2:1-2. "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, HE HATH BOTH the Father and the Son" -2 John 9. 2Ti 4:2 "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." Questions 135 through 143- Christ's Baptism. ((Yes, Paul was right in listing the time of Christ's baptism as an instant in which the Trinity is manifested. But according to you, Jesus was acting as a divine ventriloquist, for He was talking with Himself again. Please reread Matt. 3:16-17.)) QUESTION #135) Where then, does Matt 3:16-17 SPECIFICALLY SAY these are three separate persons? Mat 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending LIKE A DOVE, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." This is an interpretation based on what is implied, rather than what is specifically stated. I can't possibly MAKE YOU believe the answers I give, but at least I give you scriptures that DO SPECIFICALLY say what I'm merely pointing out to you. ((Just because it doesn't say exactly, "God is three separate persons" (which in itself can sound ambiguous unless it is stated, "the one God expresses Himself in three distinct ways - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.") But of course, those specific words aren't in the Bible either. But not ONE of the Scriptures you quoted SPECIFICALLY STATED "God is One-Christ is all"...)) EXCUSE ME? Mark 12:29 very specifically says- "The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our GOD IS ONE Lord" Col 3:11 very specifically says- "CHRIST IS ALL, and in all." Col 2:9 very specifically says- "For in him (Christ) DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily. 10 AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, which is THE HEAD OF ALL principality and power: 11 In whom ALSO YE ARE CIRCUMCISED... BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST: 12 BURIED WITH HIM IN BAPTISM... RISEN WITH HIM... 13 ...quickened together WITH HIM..." So, let's ask YOU some questions about YOUR interpretation of Matt. 3:16- QUESTION #136) Do we really see the "Trinity" in Matt. 3:16-17, or, again, isn't it really just your imagination or your interpolation, and extra-biblical suppositions that there are three persons present? Joh 5:37 "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. YE HAVE NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME, NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE." QUESTION #137) Was Matt. 3:16-17 in any way merely "symbolic" in nature? If not, are you NOT thereby saying you believe the Spirit of God is a dove? Or, is the Spirit of God NO BIGGER THAN A DOVE? By what Scripture then do you justify your evidence that we are SEEING, in Matt. 3:16, the "Person" of the Spirit? Joh 1:18 "NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." QUESTION #138) If Matt 3:16-17 is ACTUALLY MANIFESTING the "person" of the Holy Ghost, can your Holy Ghost "Person" be God? For NO man hath seen God AT ANY TIME? (I'm not saying they didn't see the Spirit descending "as a" dove, I'm just suggesting that, if this IS the so-called person of the Spirit, he isn't much of a "God" is he? Luk 24:39 "...for A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES..." Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost." QUESTION #139) Where is there any verse of scripture that specifically teaches this event was anything more than God "bearing witness" of who Jesus was? Where is any verse of scripture that says that this verse is describing and showing "three persons"? QUESTION #140) So, PLEASE, SHOW ME WHERE THE TRINITY DOCTRINE IS ANYWHERE SPECIFICALLY STATED IN SCRIPTURE WITH ANY COMBINATION OF VERSES (TAKEN IN ANY REASONABLE CONTEXT)??? QUESTION #141) Why would the Bible, which is complete (2 Ti 3:17), leave out such CRITICAL WORDING and be so void of definitions of this doctrine, if indeed it is to be esteemed a scriptural doctrine at all (let alone such an important doctrine, as to move you to accuse me of being an heretic for not believing in something you can't even produce scripture to specifically define)? QUESTION #142) Do you NOT yet see what nerve, and audacity it is for you to accuse me of giving you "cop-out answers"? (Since the only source you can provide that AT ALL defines your doctrine are the traditions of men of which Jesus SPECIFICALLY SAID make the commandments of God of none effect!!!) QUESTION #143) How is it possible that you believe you have done any different in making the commandments of God of none effect in this man-made, definition-in-tradition-only doctrine of the Trinity of Separate Persons? Col 1:23 "If ye continue in the faith... Whereof I am made a minister... 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 ...WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU... 28 WHOM WE PREACH, WARNING EVERY MAN... that we may present every man perfect IN CHRIST JESUS: 29 WHEREUNTO I ALSO LABOUR, STRIVING according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you... and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of THE FULL ASSURANCE OF UNDERSTANDING... 6 As ye have therefore received CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK YE IN HIM: 7 Rooted and built up IN HIM (not them)... 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU through philosophy and vain deceit, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, after the rudiments of the world, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. 9 FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. 10 AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL principality and power." Questions 144 through 150- Another Helper- Jesus Christ in us. ((Three years later, just prior to His crucifixion, Jesus spoke of the three persons of the Trinity in His Upper Room Discourse. Jesus said to the disciples: "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." (John 14:16-17).)) Check this out, please- Joh 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, and SHALL BE IN YOU. 18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS: (comfortless: orphanos, FATHERLESS!) I WILL COME TO YOU. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I IN YOU." QUESTION #144) Who is in us? Joh 14:9-20 "Jesus saith unto him... I WILL COME TO YOU... I IN YOU"!!! QUESTION #145) What could possibly be plainer than that? QUESTION #146) If Jesus didn't want us to think the Holy Ghost was He Himself, in us, WHY DID HE SPECIFICALLY SAY- "I WILL COME TO YOU... I IN YOU"? 2Co 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?" QUESTION #147) If Jesus was with them, and WAS GOING TO BE IN THEM, how is this not then ANOTHER Comforter, and yet it is still Jesus? If you say it is a Separate Person, please quote the scripture that specifically says that. Let's look at how the Bible itself interprets a completely different subject for a moment, just to compare the method of interpretations- Joh 6:53 "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." QUESTION #148) Do you believe Christians are cannibals? And if not, why not? QUESTION #149) Does not Christ explain this very verse in the very same reading? Joh 6:57 "*AS* the living Father hath sent me, AND I LIVE BY THE FATHER: *SO* he that eateth me, even he shall *LIVE BY ME*. 58 THIS IS THAT BREAD which came down from heaven: NOT AS YOUR FATHERS DID EAT manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever." You see, He specifically told them here even how to interpret His saying! "AS... I live... SO... LIVE BY ME. THIS IS THAT BREAD" You see- "live by me" THAT IS the partaking of His life and His blood, NOT eating the way the O.T. fathers ate with their mouths (not as your fathers did eat), but partaking in His life! And still some did not understand, but those who REALLY WANTED TO KNOW didn't run off making up their own impressions of what He said, so He told them the interpretation- Joh 6:60 "Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, THIS IS AN HARD SAYING; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?... Joh 6:63 "IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE." QUESTION #150) Do you see what happened here? Jesus gave a teaching, speaking of heavenly things, in a natural manner- a parable. The parable was confused by those who REFUSED TO HEAR JESUS SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS of His teachings, but to those who would humble themselves enough to JUST ASK HIM what He meant, He clearly said- "IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE." Questions 151 through 152- Interpreting Jesus' parables. It is the same with the doctrine of the Trinity. Jesus spoke and taught of spiritual things, in a natural manner, and those who wouldn't receive a love for the truth, went off satisfied with their personal interpretations of what He said, rather than accept HIS SPECIFIC EXPLANATIONS TO THE CONTRARY! QUESTION #151) So where does Jesus SPECIFICALLY INTERPRET ANY OF HIS WORDS TO MEAN SEPARATE PERSONS??? Now look again and see how clearly Jesus Himself interprets for us John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for HE DWELLETH WITH YOU (Jesus was right there with them), and SHALL BE IN YOU. 18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS: (comfortless: orphanos, FATHERLESS!) I WILL COME TO YOU. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I IN YOU." Again, John 14:9-20 "Jesus saith unto him... I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS... I WILL COME TO YOU... I IN YOU"!!! ((If Jesus does not intend to distinguish the Spirit as a distinct way in which God personally exists as God - a distinct "person" of the triune Godhead - by using all this language, then what on earth is He trying to do? TomR, do you see the problem that "Oneness" theology poses, yet?)) QUESTION #152) Much the more rather, if Jesus wants us to think He and the Spirit are Separate Persons why does He SPECIFICALLY SAY " I WILL COME TO YOU... I IN YOU" BUT NEVER ONCE SPECIFICALLY SAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A SEPARATE PERSON FROM HIMSELF??? Mat 13:10 "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because IT IS GIVEN UNTO YOU TO KNOW the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, BUT TO THEM IT IS NOT given... 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 4 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and THEIR EARS ARE DULL of hearing, and THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 1Pe 2:6 "Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but UNTO THEM WHICH BE DISOBEDIENT, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and A ROCK OF OFFENCE, even to them WHICH STUMBLE AT THE WORD, BEING DISOBEDIENT." Mar 12:29 "And Jesus answered him, The FIRST of all the COMMANDMENTS is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our GOD IS ONE Lord." 1Jo 2:4 "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." Question 153- Matt. 28:19 and THE (singular) Name. ((... Jesus instructed the disciples, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19)... The Trinity is definitely taught by the Lord in this passage. It is highly revealing that the word "NAME" is singular in the Greek, indicating that there is one God, but three distinct persons within the Godhead - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus doesn't say, "into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," as if they were merely three designations of a single person. But He says, "into the name [singular] of THE Father, and of THE Son and of THE Holy Spirit...")) QUESTION #153) So, what is THE SINGULAR name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit? (Mat 12:37 "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.") Col 3:17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." Act 4:10 "Be it known unto you all... THE NAME OF JESUS Christ...12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN given among men, whereby we must be saved." Questions 154 through 157- The purpose of Baptism. QUESTION #154) According to the scriptures, why are we baptized? 1. Remission of Sins- a. "It behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead... And that repentance and REMISSION OF SINS should be preached in His name among all nations" -Luke 24:47. ("Repent, and BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS... -Acts 2:38). b. "And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and WASH AWAY THY SINS, CALLING ON THE NAME of the Lord." -Acts 22:16. 2. To Put on Christ- "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized INTO Christ have put on Christ" -Galatians 3:26-27 3. Salvation- "He that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved. But he that believeth not shall be damned" -Mark 16:16. ("Be it known unto you all...the name of Jesus Christ... This is the stone...which is become the head... Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -Acts 4:10-12. "God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein... souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto EVEN BAPTISM DOTH ALSO NOW SAVE US (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God.) - 1 Peter 3:20-21. ("By FAITH Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house..." -Hebrews 11:7). QUESTION #155) Where is there EVEN ONE VERSE of scripture that even intimates at a PURPOSE of being baptized, applying only the titles, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? QUESTION #156) What does being baptized, applying only the titles Father, Son, and Holy Spirit actually DO for the believer, biblically stated? QUESTION #157) If there is no Biblically stated PURPOSE of being baptized, and applying only the titles Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, how is it NOT JUST A WASTE OF TIME, since it accomplishes NOTHING? Questions 158 through 162- How are we Baptized? QUESTION #158) How are we to be baptized? 1. By Immersion- "They went down both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuch; and he baptized him..." -Acts 8:38. "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water..." -Matthew 3:16. Strong's Concordance- "#907 baptizo...from a derivative of 911 (bapto); to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet). #911, bapto, a primary verb; to whelm, i.e. cover wholly with a fluid...". 2. In Jesus' Name- "Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized INTO Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM INTO DEATH: that like as Christ was raised up...even so we also should walk in newness of life" -Romans 6:3-4. "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him... Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him..." -Colossians 2:6,12. "It behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead... And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations" Luke 24:47. ("Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins..." -Acts 2:38). "They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" Acts 8:16 & 19:5. "Peter commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord" Acts 10:48. QUESTION #159) By whose authority are we baptized INTO JESUS' name? 1. Jesus- a. "It behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead... And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations" Luke 24:47. ("Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins... -Acts 2:38). "...Believe; in my name..." -Mark 16:17. b. "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost..." -Matthew 28:19. (Keep in mind that Matthew's statement here is Just one version of the Great Commission, Mark and Luke's versions (above) MUST be considered TOGETHER with Matthew's). QUESTION #160) What then did JESUS say IS THE name of the Father, AND of the Holy Spirit? "I am come in my Father's name" -John 5:43 ("For unto us a Son... is given...and His name shall be called...The Everlasting Father" -Isaiah 9:6) "...The Comforter...is the Holy Ghost...in my name..." -John 14:26. 2. The Apostles- a. Peter: "Jesus...said unto...Peter...I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven..." -Matthew 16:17-19. "Peter said...be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ..." -Acts 2:38. b. Philip the evangelist: "...Philip...preached Christ unto them. And... they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" -Acts 8:5,12,16. c. Paul: "...Said Paul, John verily baptized...saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" -Acts 19:4-5. d. All the apostles together: "...Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James...and Simon...and Judas... These ALL continued WITH ONE ACCORD... Peter, standing up WITH THE ELEVEN, lifted up his voice, and said... BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST..." -Acts l:13-14, 2:14,38. QUESTION #161) Why, if your Trinitarian interpretation is correct, did ALL THE APOSTLES WITHOUT EXCEPTION, EVERY TIME, BAPTIZE EXCLUSIVELY IN JESUS' NAME if Jesus is NOT the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit? QUESTION #162) Why weren't John the Baptists disciples baptized into the Trinity, if indeed such exists? Why were John the Baptist's disciples RE-baptized into Jesus' name, if the name of Jesus isn't of the utmost importance? "Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" -Acts 19:2-5. "And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ" -1 John 3:23. "Now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized...calling on the name of the Lord." -Acts 22:16. "When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" -Acts 19:5. Questions 163 through 166- Who to believe- the Apostles, or the Trinitarians? QUESTION #163) Do Trinitarians really think they have a better idea of what Jesus meant in Matthew 28:19 than the Apostles themselves (since the apostles baptized SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY in and INTO the name of Jesus, but Trinitarians do not)? "...Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them... then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer... And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name..."!!! Luke 24:36,45-46. "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following" -Mark 16:20. "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word" -John 17:20. QUESTION #164) How can Trinitarians be said to be believers in Christ if they don't believe the testimony of the Apostles whom Jesus Christ Himself commissioned, ordained, and approved, and said we should believe in the words of? "...Fellowcitizens... of the household of God... are built upon the foundation of the apostles..." Ephesians 2:19-20. QUESTION #165) Is there more than one name on which we are commanded to believe in for salvation? QUESTION #166) Do Acts 2:38, 4:12, & Col. 3:17 contradict Matthew 28:19? Or does the Bible teach that JESUS IS THE NAME of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Ghost? Questions 167 through 168- The Name of the Father. QUESTION #167) What is the New Testament name of the Father? "Jesus...lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Father... I HAVE MANIFESTED THY NAME unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world... And I HAVE DECLARED UNTO THEM THY NAME..." -John 17:1,6,26. "I am come in my Father's name..." -John 5:43. "...The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me..." -John 10:25. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called...the Everlasting Father..." -Isaiah 9:6. See also Zech.14:9. "...He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name..." -Hebrews 1:4. "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named..." -Ephesians 3:14-15. "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" -Philippians 2:10-11. With Isaiah 42:8- "I am the Lord...and my glory will I not give to another...". QUESTION #168) What name of the Father did Jesus manifest other than Jesus? What other name did Jesus declare than Jesus? Question 169- The Name of the Holy Spirit. QUESTION #169) What is the name of the Holy Ghost? Jesus said "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name..." -John 14:26. "The mystery which hath been hid... but now is made manifest... is Christ in you..." -Colossians 1:26-27. "Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you..." -1 Corinthians 6:19. "Now the Lord is that Spirit..." -2 Corinthians 3:17. "...The Spirit of Jesus Christ" -Philippians 1:19. "For as the body is one... so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body... and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" -1 Cor.12:12-13. Please continue with the 226 questions disproving the doctrine of the Trinity.
