"I suggest quoting the whole phrase in context:"

Ah, for a great many Protestants context is verboten. It's not only the death kneel of the whole Bestselling Surrender and Evacuate Rupture Doctrine, it's the death kneel of all Protestantism.

That's why Protestantism begins by throwing out a portion of the Old Testament which means they start by asserting that the Holy Spirit is imperfect because the Holy Spirit cannot and did not protect Scripture from the inclusion of error from prior to Christ until the 1500s.

That leaves them with a Trinity that consists of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Self.

I don't think you have a good grasp of Protestantism if you think that they just throw out the Old Testament.

which means they start by asserting that the Holy Spirit is imperfect because the Holy Spirit cannot and did not protect Scripture from the inclusion of error from prior to Christ until the 1500s.

What? That's absurd.
In fact there's trinitarin themes in the Old Testement, kinda buried / not-as-obvious as the crucifixion-passover foreshadowing.
Here's Dr. Michael Heiser's presentation/lecture of The Jewish Trinity: How the Old Testament Reveals the Christian Godhead which is looking at the Old Testament alone specifically with the idea of [answering] "can we look at only the Old Testament and get the idea of the Christian Godhead?"

  2. Part 2
  3. Part 3
  4. Part 4

I'm no sure what you are getting at. Perhaps you can explain why you discuss a concept like "the Holy Spirit cannot and did not protect Scripture from the inclusion of error from prior to Christ until the 1500s" as a basis for debate.

And, did you mean "death knell"? a mistype?

And what do you make of the harpadzo--thecatching away--of the saints (and only the saints) into the clouds?

It’s the Vulgate which brings us to the term “rapture” which is “caught up.” That term is clearly even in the DRA and NABRE.

So what’s your point?

Or was this a therapeutic post?

Here’s one to research...Which portions of the TaNaKh did Jesus Christ point the disciples to?
