Bible Question:
Do you distinguish between a name and a title? Cite examples and you will see the distinction. I'm guessing that the compound names you cite will be either names of places incorporating God's "name" or compound titles related to his attributes or roles/positions (i. e. Grand Instructor, Rock, Almighty God, Sovereign Lord, Creator). Better yet, do a search in a concordance on "name" and you' be amazed how often it appears with YHVH and how infrequently with any titles. If you're willing to try it, let me know what you conclude. |
Bible Answer: Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His NAME Immanuel, which is translated, "God with us." (Matt 1:23) Don't get legalistic and try to reason in your mind how the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are separate yet One. Just believe. The Father is God, Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. |
