I wasn't attempting to prove the Nicene Trinitarian formula, I was merely refuting your false assertion Paul does not quote God except for the three introductory verses in Acts 9.
Here's another example among many of Paul quoting God:
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."To whom was Paul praying, and who was talking back to him?
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
No. I can quote Isaiah myself, but that does not make my pronouncements any more true than they are unto themselves.
Now, you do not have to answer my questions, but you did not answer my fill-in-the-blank question as to who is speaking in Isaiah 28:17.
Cordially,
I wasn't attempting to prove the Nicene Trinitarian formula, I was merely refuting your false assertion Paul does not quote God except for the three introductory verses in Acts 9.
Good, for you cannot prove the Nicene formula from Paul. Now, what I was attempting to show is that Paul does not quote God as John and the Gospel writers do. Paul says that God said this or that to him, but not in the context of Jesus delivering a speech or John experiencing the Revelation. Why do you think that is?
To whom was Paul praying, and who was talking back to him?
Paul says here "the Lord".
No. I can quote Isaiah myself, but that does not make my pronouncements any more true than they are unto themselves.
Now, you do not have to answer my questions, but you did not answer my fill-in-the-blank question as to who is speaking in Isaiah 28:17.
Isaiah 28:16 says that the Lord God is speaking.
