I LOVE this! The working of the Trinity debated on FR! Is this a great country and a great website or what!
I wont bother defending my position because, um, wait, it’s coming to me, ..., yeah, because I’m right.
I’ve been mulling over Colossians 1:12-20 and what it means that Jesus is the image of the invisible God.
And of course, we can’t say that one person is PART of God, because God is simple.
I guess in keeping with that line of thought, I have considered the Tetragrammaton to be a name for God THROUGH being a Name for the 2nd Person.
And, as long as I’mbeing vgue and impressionistic, we have the archaic credal formulation Kyrios Iesous — which would seem to make an ID between the two names, to judge by the use of Kyrios in the LXX.
Just a thought. The whole thing needs more thought.
YHWH, by the meaning of the letters individually, according to the ancient form of Hebrew, literally means: 'Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail'.
Is there any reason why that Name should not be shouted from the rooftops? The very first testimony of Yeshua is in the very first utterance of the NAME, in the very beginning.
