Bible Note: Can't quite agree with the "unity in nature" being in view here, but thanks for your comments. Doesn't 1 Cor 15:28 address the relationship between the Father and Son throughout eternity? I just responded to Country Girl re: John 8:17, and this is another example of 2 rather than 3 persons being referred to. For me, such lack of Scriptural content begs consideration. I think of my Catholic background, and how that church worships Mary when the NT writers barely even mention her. With nothing close to worship ever being mentioned in connection with the holy spirit, it seems strange that it was elevated to God status. Can these concerns be addressed? |
