Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

[DavidTree]

Actually, He was given that name in the NT (Matthew 1:22-23).

Quick question to see if there is somebody home - what came first, the chicken or the egg?

Quick question to see if there is somebody home - what came first, the chicken or the egg?

The chicken, of course.

 

[DavidTree]

The chicken, of course.

So the name Immanuel was proscribed to Jesus when? - CLUE - same as chicken or the egg question.

So the name Immanuel was proscribed to Jesus when? - CLUE - same as chicken or the egg question.

At the time that the prophecy was made.

Of course, the name Immanuel was also ascribed to Jesus when the prophecy was fulfilled, in Matthew chapter 1.

You're much braver than me. But I think you gave it a college effort. As for others who feel yours is false teaching, all I can say is

Here's my take on it:

Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God Almighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!

And with that, I'm outa here.

If you want to know whether the teaching is true or false, simply ask whether it is biblical;

And study out the references that I have given to back up my statements to see whether they truly back up my statements or not.

Be a Berean (Acts 17:10-11).

Matthew 1:23
“The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel.” (Immanuel means “God with us.”)

The text was applied to Jesus via use of the meaning God with US.

That is one verse - keep going and here is a clue - start from the Beginning.

I will attempt to explain the Trinity with the following things in mind.

Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Tit 2:1, But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

There is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4); the Father (John 4:23-24), the Son (John 4:24, Ephesians 3:17, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12), and the Holy Ghost (John 7:39, 2 Timothy 1:14).

There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5); the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21), the Son (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 12:3), and the Holy Ghost (2 Corinthians 3:17).

There is one God (Ephesians 4:6); the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6, James 3:9 (kjv), Romans 15:6, Ephesians 4:6), the Son (Hebrews 1:8-9; John 8:58, Exodus 3:14; John 8:59, John 10:31-33), and the Holy Ghost (Acts 5:3-4, Romans 8:26-27).

With this in mind, I encourage the reader to interpret 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 and Ephesians 4:4-6.

That being said, there are distinctions between the members of the Trinity.

The Father is a Spirit (John 4:23-24) inhabiting eternity (Isaiah 57:15) without flesh.

The Son is the same Spirit (Ephesians 4:4, John 4:24) dwelling in human flesh (1 John 4:1-3, 2 john 1:7).

The Holy Ghost is the same Spirit (Ephesians 4:4, John 7:39); after having lived a human life in the Person of the Son (see Luke 23:46); released to the Father in eternity from the human body of the Son; and who also descends into time in order to produce holy scripture (1 Peter 1:11) and to work within the church in order to win souls to Jesus Christ.

The Father, in the descending into time to take on an added nature of human flesh, did not VACATE ETERNITY.

So, when Jesus releases His Spirit (see John 14:7-11) back into eternity, there is now one God existing beside Himself in eternity; as there are two distinct Persons in the Father and the Holy Ghost who are infinite in nature.

The Son also being infinite in nature in His Deity; however in His humanity, which has received a glorified human body likened unto the angels (Matthew 22:30), He is of a finite nature and as He said, "The Father is greater than I" (John 14:28); while as concerning His Deity He is equal to the Father (John 5:18).

For I contend that the Son is the Son in the reality that there is a hypostatic union of the two natures of humanity and Deity.

I also contend that the Son was begotten in the incarnation (Luke 1:35); but that He ascended to fill all things (Ephesians 4:10) in the Person of the Holy Ghost.

Where did the Son come from?

 

[Anthony55]

Gen: 1:1 In the beginning God [elohim plural].. Gen. 1:26 And God [elohim plural] said let Us make man. Strong's Concordance.

 

[justbyfaith]

Where did the Son come from?

He is the incarnation of the one true God.

 

[Anthony55]

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

 

[Anthony55]

Where did the Son come from?

same place we came from Lol

 

[DavidTree]

same place we came from Lol

That would be incorrect - we were created by the "Let Us make man in Our Image" - this is Who created us.

The Son was never created.

You answered the question perfectly the first time = Elohim.

It was a joke. And if you new the ANSWER why are you baiting instead of discussing?

I see. Iron sharpens iron.
Thank you.

Thank you.

AMEN - Thank You as well - we all benefit from the Holy Spirit in each of us.

13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He [c]will take of Mine and declare it to you.
