Jason, Matthew 28:19 "... baptizing them in the name (not names) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" is just one reference to the trinity that come to mind.
Yeah, the word "name" being singular is not saying specifically that God is three in one here like 1 John 5:7. It doesn't actually say what 1 John 5:7 says.
I have a whole list of verses that relate to the trinity, but I'm pressed for tim this evening.
Relate but not specifically describe the Trinity like 1 John 5:7. No other verse really does that.
My point is that studying is that it is to understand the subject that you are studying. I made my living as an engineer. Many times I've reached a point in a project where there seemed to be no answer. When I pulled together all the information, the answer became clear. If you restrict yourself to the KJV translation you may miss the point of the scripture all together. It is not heresy to use another translation. It is just common sense analysis.
Never said it was heresy to use another translation. In fact, I have used Modern Translations many times in helping to update the language. However, Modern Translations are also corrupted, so I don't make them my final Word of authority like the KJV.
Here's a great simple and interesting study. Try studying the book of Ecclesiastes with the NLB and the KJV. See how much more you get from your KJV. An old professor once told me don't reinvent the wheel make it better.
Speaking of Ecclesiastes:
Well, the Bible says the number 6 is the number of a man in Revelation 13 and that threescore of that is the mark of the Beast (666). It also tells us within this chapter to count this number as a part of wisdom. Why? So that we may understand what this number means. In fact, did you know that the 666th chapter in the Bible (Ecclesiastes 7) talks about the same thing in Revelation 13?
Ecclesiastes 7:23-29
"All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."
Revelation 13:16-18
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
In other words, what are the odds of the above parallel happening by random chance?
Do you think Stephen Langton, and Robert Stephanus worked together?
