Bible Note: Greetings Punkideo! She is pretty use to it by now! :-) She has also been a pastor's wife for about 12 years, just my wife for 20 now! :-) May I ask where you found a reference to 'alpha' in Strong's? I looked in my hard copy, my software, and online, and I could find no reference to 'alpha' in the definiton of 'allos'. I would not expect to find it either since the words are not related at all. Now, back to my original question though, how can Jesus be 'other or another' than who He is? What the doctrine of the Trinity attempts to do is make sense of all the data in Scripture. For instance, we agree that there is only one God. Those who believe in the Trinity do not believe in three Gods. But, at the same time, Scripture makes distinctions between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus prays to the Father. Jesus ascends back to the Father, and sends the Holy Spirit. The Trinity doctrine is the only one (in my view) that makes sense of all the data. Only one God, but three distinct and different Persons within that Godhead. John 14:16 is an important one for the Oneness doctrine to come to grips with as it simply can't be explained away, unless one is willing to say that Jesus used the wrong word! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
