If so would it stand for reason that this name is Jesus? Stay with me...<br /><br />In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.John 1:1 <br /><br />Then it goes on and says:<br /><br />"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth."–John 1:14<br /><br />So the Word=God and when the Word was made flesh we get the birth of Jesus therefore God=Jesus or in other words God became flesh to reconcile the world to Himself.<br /><br />But why is this shed in so much mystery?<br /><br />And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.—1 TIMOTHY 3:16.<br /><br />So, it's a mystery on purpose that is the first thing to understand. <br /><br />Why was it important for God to keep the secret of Godliness a mystery?<br /><br />Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1Cor 2:8<br /><br />If Satan would have known this he would not have crucified Jesus because Satan would have understood the consequences.<br /><br />In other words God in His Almighty wisdom kept it a secret so that the moment that Satan would crucify the Spotless Lamb (without Sin) the Law of Sin and Death would not have been broken. But because Satan in his rage decided to crucify our Lord he, unknowingly, defeated Himself as under the law of Sin and Death it's not lawful to punish someone with Death who hath never commited Sin.<br /><br />That's How the Lord our God Almighty defeated Satan at his own game of death by playing a divine game of Chess. <br /><br />So Jesus is the name of our God Almighty, He is our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. <br />Read this knowledge back into the scriptures and see if you find a discrepancy...<br /><br />Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Col 1:15<br /><br />So God Almighty understanding that we are not able to perceive Him in all His Majestic Glory created an image (a body) so that we could relate to Him. God is forthcoming with our shortfalls "Praise the Lord" and has made provisions for this, from the beginning.<br /><br />So the Father and the Son truly are one? <br /><br />Different "Offices" but yes essentially the same. <br /><br />If any of you are married you will be known as "Spouse" and "Daugther" (by you parents). <br /><br />Well in God's case He's Almighty which we call "The Father" then we have His form made flesh and call it "The Son: Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" and when he annoints us and comes to live in us (on repentance and confession of Sins recognising what our Lord and Saviour had done for us: Jesus) we receive His Spirit and partake of His Character/Mind and the process of regeneration changes us. <br /><br />Thought this makes sense it feels strange to think this way especially when praying. I suppose because of force of habit. <br /><br />My question then: Should we in this case pray to Jesus in Jesus name? or continue to pray to the Father in Jesus name?<br /><br />So may I ask you to comment and would you please email me at maxsynergy2002#hotmail.com so I know you have responded as won't remember where I am :-)<br /><br />May God Bless you mightily and Praise The Lord for revealing this golden nugget to Irvin Baxter at Endtime.com who in turn has revealed it to me. In reality we all know that truly the Lord is revealing it to us through His Spirit for without Him we are nothing. Praise our Lord and Saviour for to Him all we Owe.

My brother looked up "elohim" in Strong's Concordance. Here is what it says: <BR/>"Strong's Ref. # 430<BR/>Romanized 'elohiym<BR/>Pronounced el-o-heem'<BR/>plural of HSN0433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: <BR/>KJV--angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty."<BR/><BR/>I don’t see anything there that even implies three.<BR/> <BR/>Also note:<BR/>• There are only two divine beings mentioned in the Bible: Jn 17:3; 1Cor 8:6; 1Tim 2:5 <BR/>• The Holy Spirit is the mind of God & Jesus. 1 Cor. 2:10, 11; Rm8:9 <BR/>• The Spirit being grieved doesn’t need to be a separate being. We can all be grieved in spirit. Look again at 1 Cor. 2:10, 11 <BR/>• My Bible DOES call the Holy Spirit “it” sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Numbers 11.17<BR/>And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.<BR/><BR/>Numbers 11.25<BR/>And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.<BR/><BR/>John 1.32<BR/>And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.<BR/><BR/>Romans 8.16<BR/>The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:<BR/><BR/>1Peter1.11<BR/>Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.<BR/><BR/>Please look at the blog closer. I have never seen anywhere near this much evidence used to prove the Trinity. <BR/>I did take a few minutes to look at your site. I do plan to go back and study it in depth later.<BR/>Your friend in Christ,<BR/>GaryGary Sheidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540804700108290668noreply@blogger.com
