Subject: Does Jesus' name satisfy Matt 28:19? |
Bible Note: Dear kalos, Greetings in Jesus' name! With all due respect to you, which is a matter of record, I must say that Mr. Boyd's article is rather obviously written as a specific argument against 'Oneness' people (which I am NOT affiliated). In his middle paragraph he say that Colossians 3:17 'obviously' does not mean what it says goes against the rules of Biblical interpretation that we have discussed many a time. As I recall, we are to believe the Bible means what it says in the simplest, most straightforward manner possible. There IS a great difference between *saying* 'in the name of Jesus,' (a phrase) and *doing* in the name of Jesus (an attitude of faith). I can't speak for all, but I an very careful to NEVER *say* 'in the name of Jesus' unless I *mean* in the name of Jesus. Blessings, my good friend, in Christ Jesus, charis |
