2 | Modes or Persons? | John 6:56 | Morant61 | 5031 | ||
Hi Jim: I checked 1 Tim. 3:16. The KJV translates the word 'phaneroo' as manifested. The NIV translates the word as appeared. It basically just means revealed in the flesh. The words 'mode' and 'persons' are theologicals terms used to describe Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Modalists explain the unity of the Godhead by saying that there is only one God, who manifests Himself in three modes. Trinitarians explain the unity of the Godhead by saying that there is only one God, who eternally exists in three distinct 'Persons' within the Godhead. 'Persons' is not a great term, but no one has been able to come up with anything better. Have a great day! Tim Moran |
