then those people are idiots. The man isn’t a Christian.
By their fruit you will know them.
OK then...
Out of curiosity, Matthew 28:19 - is that true?
**Out of curiosity, Matthew 28:19 - is that true?**
Yes. Note that it says ‘name’, not ‘names’. But those aren’t names in Matt. 28:19, but titles. The saving name of the Father is Jesus, because Jesus Christ said he came in his Father’s name (John 5:43). The name of the Son is not ‘Son’, but Jesus (Luke 1:31). Jesus Christ said, “the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name..”. (John 14:26)
Acts 2:38 was the beginning of the actual fulfillment of Matt. 28:19. Whenever the apostles baptized, it was in the name of Jesus.
Yep.
OK then...
Out of curiosity who is speaking in Matthew 28:19?
Saw this one coming from a mile away. God forbid TD Jakes disagree with MSM on any issue of substance.
From Wikipedia:
In 2009, Jakes partnered with Dr. Phil McGraw, Jay McGraw, and CBS Television Distribution to launch a syndicated, secular talk show; however, due to economic issues within the syndicated television market, the program never premiered.
In July 2015, Tegna, Inc. and Debmar-Mercury announced that a new secular talk show hosted by Jakes would air as a test run on Tegna stations in Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, and Minneapolis from August 17 to September 11, 2015.
“Oh, OK. If I want a talk show, I have to support gay marriage. Gotcha.”
I can answer EVERY SINGLE argument you have, in your defense of the ‘trinity’, with this simple fact: The omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God the Father is IN Christ. But, if you are so sure of your understanding, then answering the questions in this post should be easy for you.
The Son said that the words that he spoke were not his, but the Father’s. Read on and you will see his testimony:
In John 14:10, when Jesus Christ said, “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the WORDS that I speak unto you I speak NOT of myself: but the Father that DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH the WORKS.”, was he telling the truth?
Jesus Christ inherited his name. From who? When? How does someone inherit something if he has ALWAYS been possessor of it?
Are you and your word two separate and distinct persons? (we are made in the image of God aren’t we?)
Who’s greater: The Son says, “My Father, which is GAVE them me, is GREATER than ALL..”. 10:29; and “..for my Father is GREATER than I..”. 14:28.
In Matt. 28:19 (“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:..”), the greatest teacher of all gave the disciples that commandment, and they promptly went about baptizing in the name of JESUS. Now, first of all, note that he says ‘name’ in the singular, not ‘names’. ‘Son’ is a title. “thou shalt call his NAME Jesus”. Luke 1:21. Jesus Christ said that his name is not his own (John 5:43), And Heb. 1:4 says that he inherited it. The apostles knew what they were doing when they baptized in the name of ‘Jesus’. Do you use his name in water baptism?
In John 14:26, Jesus said, “The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the FATHER will SEND in MY NAME...”. So, what name are YOU going to use to request the coming of the Holy Ghost?
AND........don’t forget Matthew 28:18; Jesus..spake...”All power is GIVEN unto me in heaven and in Earth” (that’s pretty much everywhere, and let’s see, who GAVE it unto him?......could it be the Father that dwelleth in him, and he in the Father?).
Jesus praying to the Father (17:1), “And this is life eternal, that they might know THEE the ONLY TRUE GOD, ........AND........JESUS CHRIST, whom THOU hast SENT.” John 17:3. So, do you disagree with the Son, who declares the Father to be the “ONLY TRUE GOD”?
Or this: How does a ‘trinitarian’ explain this: “But of that day and hour knoweth....my Father only” (the 2nd and 3rd ‘persons of God’ don’t know??)?
You want the Christ to be the ‘Word’, separate and distinct from the Father, but what saith John the baptist (in the first reference), and Jesus Christ?
John 3:34,35 “For he whom God hath SENT speaketh the WORDS of God: for God GIVETH not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath GIVEN ALL THINGS into his hand.” The Spirit, which “proceedeth from the Father” (Jesus’ words, not mine), was GIVEN to the Christ without measure; unlimited, and in every fiber of his being.
8:26 “I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that hath SENT me is true; and I SPEAK to the world those things which I have HEARD of him.” 27 “They understood not that he spake to them of the FATHER.”
47-50 “And if any man hear my words........He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have NOT SPOKEN of MYSELF; but the FATHER which SENT me, he GAVE me a COMMANDMENT, what I should SAY, and what I should SPEAK. And I know his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I SPEAK therefore, even as the FATHER SAID unto ME, so I SPEAK.”
17:14 “I have given them THY WORD...”
17:17 “..THY WORD is truth”. (remember WHO the Son was talking to in John 17?)
Since sitting at a keyboard and using the computer is not a very natural element for me, here’s something you could do, and probably MUCH faster than I:
Take every passage that has the phrase ‘the Son of God’ (there are about 50 of them), and replace it with ‘God the Son’. Then post them here to show that you believe that the phrases are interchangable.
Again, I am sorry that you have had a lack of solid, truthful teaching.
Your long paragraph did not explain the Isaiah passage.

Bishop T.D. Jakes Speaks Out About Son’s Gay Sex Arrest
**Your long paragraph did not explain the Isaiah passage.**
God cannot be punished. But his creation CAN be punished.
The Son was BEGOTTEN. He had a beginning. By being anointed by the Spirit Of God (note I didn’t say ‘God the Holy Spirit’), he had received power from God the Father to endure all things. God the Father has set him as our example, and captain, seeing the Father has given the Christ all authority. That power is the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent Father that is in Christ and Christ is in him,.......literally.
Christ is the image of the invisible God; displaying the attributes of God the Father, to mankind, on their earthly level. Christ is NOT ‘God the image’, because God is invisible.
Are you ‘Texas the fishtank’, or ‘fishtank of Texas’?
**..solid, truthful teaching.**.......
