Keep going you left out the best part (although IAM is hard to beat) get back in Exodus 3 and find out what the ETERNAL Name of Elohim is - you already know - but post it here anyway from Exodus 3

14 Elohim said to Moses, "Ehyeh asher ehyeh (I will be what I will be)," and He said, "So shall you say to the children of Israel, 'Ehyeh (I will be) has sent me to you.'"
15 And Elohim said further to Moses, "So shall you say to the children of Israel, 'The Lord Elohim of your forefathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is how I should be mentioned in every generation.

In 2 Corinthians 1:3, I clearly see the blessed Trinity—The Father, the Son Jesus and the Comforter the Holy Spirit of God. View attachment 231467

II Corinthians 1:3 "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;"
OOPS, i missed that you already posted the answer ahead of my question. The Comforter is the Holy Spirit

I don't understand why there is any argument about the Trinity. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit all agree with one another as one, yet are three.

The Trinity in Psalm 2
Posted on August 9, 2019

This is not going to be an in depth Bible study by any means since many Bible scholars have done this far more justice than I ever could. I just wanted to finally write it up because it’s awesome and tickles me every time I read it. I love this. 🙂
I wanted to do a very simple presentation of this with the warm encouragement to be a Berean like Acts 17:11 refers to because I certainly am no scholar or theologian. I sincerely hope it inspires any reader to further study because you will be blessed and enjoy it. It’s an amazing study!

The Bible is giving us a glimpse here of a discussion occurring between God the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
When I learned about this several years ago, I was awestruck and humbled. It certainly inspired me to further study that was truly eye opening and I hope that I can “pass that forward” to even one other person.
There is so much happening in this Psalm. I highly recommend that if this interests you that you prayerfully seek out a sound Bible teacher that has done this study since there is some remarkable context and subtext in the original language. I most certainly needed to have my hand held because I have no Hebrew or Greek background.
I will now present the entire Psalm with a few brief comments by me in bold strictly as indicators. Enjoy! 🙂

Psalm 2
[Voice and perspective of God the Father:]

2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

[Switch to voice and perspective of The Son Jesus:]
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto Me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
(^^ Jesus is being spoken to here by God the Father)

[Switch to voice and perspective of the Holy Spirit:]
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Amen. This can’t happen fast enough and there isn’t much time left before it does.

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal savior please don’t put it off. Jesus warned us Himself of what things in the world would look like in Matthew 24, Luke 21, Romans 1:18-32, 2 Timothy 3, and so forth. We are there. How can anyone deny that we aren’t in the thick of that when taking into account converging events and phenomena? We are far removed from business as usual Please don’t wait any longer.

Continued from above . . .

Here is Psalm 2 in the NKJV: (Pronouns capitalized)

Psalm 2

New King James Version

Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”


7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”


10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

Yeshua had the Father dwelling in Him doing the talking and Miracles [John 14] and we know He was Full of the Holy Spirit [Matthew 12] and was called the Complete Godhead!

Modern Christians aren't aware the Idealism behind 3 is rooted in Evil in the Peoples from Adam to the FLOOD and their Paganistic Fallen Angel Nephilim taught beliefs that brought upon their DEMISE!

Even the same Trinity mentioned in the 345 A.D. Constantine led Council [IS NOT HOW IT IS BELIEVED TODAY BECAUSE BACK THEN THEY DID NOT VIEW THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A PERSON "YET"]!

I do not oppose, other than knowing some ancient history, bothers me why I would want to connect My God to that!

But I know God is Triune however that may be!

Some of you need to read Psalms ONE and lead it into Psalms TWO, because originally those 2 are connected.

See if your meaning is the same then?

Satan masquerades as Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Father - No better way to deceive then to counterfeit the REAL TRUE GOD.

And thus why we have the Beast, the Antichrist and the False Prophet in Revelation.

Which is why the catholic/vatican pushes the trinity - they will and do call upon the unholy trinity

Agreed!


What I have always struggled with, was the idea behind, the Apostles not Baptizing in the Trinity Themselves!

4 [FOUR] solid examples of Water Baptism, and not one Triune Account like Matthew 28:19, ALL ACTS 2:38 from then on.

Did the Apostles have something against having a Triune God?
Did the Apostles not think the Holy Spirit was a Person, but Spirit of God?

Something caused them to not honor 3 but 1!

What did they discover and know?

Or, did they Rebel?

You said: "What I have always struggled with, was the idea behind, the Apostles not Baptizing in the Trinity Themselves!"

Your question has been answered my Friend.

#1.) The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ. John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Luke 3: 15-16

#2.) And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 1

#3.) When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Acts 2

In my opinion, we get everything we need from Micah 6:8 Love Justice and mercy and walk humbly beside our God. I try not to mention ***** because I feel even speaking that name breeds pain. This argument about one or three is just a distraction caused by *****.

When Yeshua said to WAIT for the GIFT the Father Promised.
Are you thinking the Disciples/Apostles did not see the GIFT as a Person who is God, or as the actual Spirit of God?

But how the Apostles Obeyed Christ by Not following Matthew 28:19 in the Book of Acts, does alarm the Bell, just a bit?

God loves you and so do i - sorry.
While I agree with you, that we as true believers, should not get easily angered or excited beyond reason - I cannot agree, with telling an individual that: "God loves them". You don't know that.

It is a common misconception taught in many churches today, that God loves everyone. They take the concept of God, being a loving God, to point of hysterical extremism. In doing so, they leave God's other Attributes in the dust. God is a loving God, a compassionate God, a merciful God and a forgiving God BUT He is also an angry God, a wrathful God, a jealous God and a God that hates. These are just a few of His Holy Attributes.

Each of His Divine attributes are "perfect" in everyway. We as a human creation, share in these attributes - albeit in ways far less perfect. It is in this way, that the human being - Adam - was the image of God. That image was darkened in the fall. The image and likeness tainted almost to the point of non-recognition.

Before telling someone, God loves you or Jesus loves you - One should ask:

1) Why did the Apostles, in the Book of Acts, NEVER tell anyone that God loved them?
2) Why did Christ, in His earthly ministry, NEVER tell any group that God loved them?
3) When Christ talked about the love of the Father towards an individual, it was always conditional. (John 14:21,23&31; 15:9,10), Why?

A search of the Gospels and the Acts - Never finds the word "love" and "you" in the same sentence, as it relates to God. You certainly will not find "God loves everyone" anywhere in Scripture.

Therefore, one who is being true to Scripture, has no authority to tell anyone that God loves them. Just some food for thought.
