1 | Is God ONE or is God THREE? | James 2:19 | 10ECPreacher | 37489 | ||
Greetings, John Reformed. You are indeed correct--Father, son and husband are titles that define relationships. And they would never be mistaken for a proper name. This is essentially the way I understand the terms Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These are "titles" that show Divine relationships, purpose and function; but the name of God is Jesus Christ. I absolutely concur with your statement "It is a mistake in logic to use a name and title interchangeably." Hence, the correct interpretation of the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19 (baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost) is given by Peter in Acts 2:38: "be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ". In fact, you have stated the only Biblical doctrine of the Godhead that I have found: God is one in essence, and relates to man in the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Thank you for your refreshing remarks. Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
