I reject a translation of a translation knowing the Church Fathers based their comments on the originals plus they had first hand account from John the Beloved.

Are you telling me the KJV is more truthful than the very words of the Beloved Disciple and Apostle John to his own Disciples?

Augustine of Hippo a.d. 354–430
Those holy angels come to the knowledge of God not by audible words, but by the presence to their souls of immutable truth, i.e., of the only-begotten Word of God; and they know this Word Himself, and the Father, and their Holy Spirit, and that this Trinity is indivisible, and that the three persons of it are one substance, and that there are not three Gods but one God;​

REREAD that, that is saying the HOLY SPIRIT is their, notice their SPIRIT.

Better find a better example.

That says the Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT of both the WORD and the Father.

Can you read?
Do you see the Holy Spirit in there? As the third person of the trinity?

That is saying this what I have been posting:

God, then, having His own Word internal within His own bowels,
........... begat Him, emitting Him
........... along with His own wisdom before all things.

but the wisdom [Spirit in this instance is Sophia] of God which was in Him, and
........... His holy Word which was always present with Him.

Where is that?
In the bible?
I thought you did not go by the bible
Or do you use the parts you like?


John 4:24
God is a Spirit
: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


Notice after Jesus said, God is a Spirit there is [ : ] plus the S is Capped?

There is your answer and Truth. If God was a Person, Jesus would have said so.

Reread it
It SUPPORTS THE TRINITY BIG TIME.
You NEED IT to say what YOUR FALSE narrative is.
You need it to Not say what it does.

Actually, that says the Holy Spirit is SOPHIA, meaning personal Spirit to God.

I thought you understood this?

Honest question. Do you believe that people who read translation of the translation do not get saved, or do not get affected by the Holy Spirit when they read?
