The first example is from Gen 5 - which contains the same exact thrice 'bara', 'bara', 'bara' creation formula of mankind as first found in Gen 1, when the Triune God created man.

Thus, 'HaElohim' must refer to the same Triune God who created mankind, as it also resides within the same chapter.

Further, the lexicons refer to 'walking in His name', of Yahweh, as the prevailing ones.

Jesus always taught that Salvation comes from the Triune God.

Why do you think that He referenced The Shema as the most important thing?
what does "bara" mean that your referring to?

It speaks of the trinity but where does it say that believing in the trinity is the key to salvation? Mine clearly said who leads us to salvation.
You referenced John 14.6, which never even mentions the word, salvation.





I mean think of this, if I was not saved but I believed God was real and because of how I was raised I believed in the trinity but I never accepted Jesus into my heart am I saved?

Saved from what?

That mankind is both from the animal kingdom and the spiritual kingdom is confirmed in Gen 1.26 – 27…in which the previous existing earthly elements are combined with a brand new ‘spirit’ via the creation verb ‘bara’, used not once, not twice, but THREE times in Gen 1.27 – exemplifying the Triune Creator.

It is my understanding that if we come to the father we have salvation we are his child and heirs to his kingdom, I can see that this discussion isn't going anywhere so I will shake the dust off my feet and walk away whether you believe salvation comes from Jesus or from the belief in the trinity is your choice

It is the divine creative act of God, something brand new, never before created.

This term is used three successive times when mankind is created on 'Day 6', indicating that each Person of The Trinity was involved.

Salvation is, and always has been, delivered from The Triune God.

so it does or doesnt mean He created?

all i see is the Lord created. i dont see where it talks about person 1, 2 and 3.
we dont agree on this and its ok. trinity debates are not allowed any way which is right where this is headed.
you still never showed me anywhere where triune belief is the only path to salvation.

Bara - to create, bring about, to bring into existence out of nothing. Indicates a new creative act not a refashioning of an existing object.

You seem to be dragging your feet.

Let's see if this helps...

Gen 1.26 - 27


And God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. And God created (bara)the man in His own image; in the image of God He created (bara)him. He created (bara)them male and female.




This Gen 1 passage informs the reader that our Creator God is plural, via the usage of ‘us’ and ‘our’…repeated three times.


Immediately after this declaration, the creative verb ‘bara’ is utilized three successive times when once should have sufficed. Another clear indicator of The Triune Creator.

if this is what you see then i respect that but i dont see it. and i will never ever ever ever jump into believing something just because someone tells me to when the bible does not say it nor support it.
u still never connected salvation to trinity. you just give scriptures that you see as triune. i think your trying to spin this into a trinity debate which you know is not allowed.

If you disagree, then scripturally show why you disagree.

Otherwise, you are just providing your unreferenced opinion....and no one is interested in that...

Since you are new to scripture, we must take baby steps with you...

God The Son.

Also known as Malek Yahweh in the OT....the one to whom Abraham offered his son Isaac as a burnt offering.

Any serious student of scripture knows the term 'bara'....just as a simple example...

You are a novice, and, because you are a novice, you reject The Trinity out of ignorance...

i base my belief on the bible and not man made opinions.
never said i didnt know what it meant, i only wanted to know what you thought it meant.

and this right here, we were never discussing the trinity (does scripture support it), but like i thought all along, you were only tying to spin this whole thing into a trinity debate which was not what i was asking in the first place.

i have tried to act like a gentleman with you, ask serious questions, yet all you do is throw insults at me and act rude. not everyone interprets scripture the exact same way you do.

Just to be clear. Abraham didn't do the deed, Isaac lived and God offered Himself up as true humanity in the God man as the offering.

Let's see....

You are dialoguing in a Trinity thread.....I am showing you where Trinity worship is mandated.....what's the issue again...?

Abraham did what he was told by God The Son, as thus...

And they came to the place which God had said to him. And Abraham built there the altar, and arranged the wood. And he bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on the wood. And Abraham put out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.And Malek Yahwehcalled to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Behold me.And He said, Do not lay your hand on the boy, nor do anything to him. For now I know that you are a God-fearer, and you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold! A ram behind him was entangled in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said until this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen.(Gen 22.9 -14)



Here we have the classic story of Abraham as he is about to sacrifice his son, Isaac, to God.


But, as we can easily see, the sacrifice is to Malek Yahweh.

again, not necessary. act like an adult

you didnt show where it was mandated for salvation, you ignored that and tried to take it straight to a trinity debate which was not what i was asking.



If you don't like the answers, then don't ask the questions....
i dont care for your childish attitude. as for your answers, they didnt answer one thing i asked.
