Answering The Toughest Questions Trinitarians Ask l Isaiah

[@glennomac7499]

Hi Steve! Glenn from Australia here What I found interesting is the quick reference you made to Jesus sharing the glory of God. This is actually expressed in Ezekiel 1. What I find most interesting is that most Jewish orthodox scholars and rabbis won't even comment on verses 26-27, saying it is forbidden and dangerous to talk about it, and only for private reflection. Why is that? Well, in verse 1, Ezekiel describes having seen "visions of God". 1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. So, these visions are of the God they worship. Yet, in verses 26-27 it says, 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. Notice it talks about the appearance of a throne above the firmament and upon that throne was the appearance of a man (Jesus). Yet this was a vision of God!! This is confirmed in chapter 3:22-23, when he says he saw the glory of the LORD (Jehovah) as he did at the river Chebar: 22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. The glory of the LORD "stood there". He had legs and feet.. This is referred to similarly at times by Ezekiel, like in chapter 10:15, 20-22, and chapter 43:3. The orthodox Jewish scholars won't touch this though and claim that it is due to verse 27 of chapter 1, including a description of His loins (which points to the purity and absolute holiness of Jesus), but also because it would align with the visions of Jesus that John saw in Revelation, thus confirming that Jesus is in fact Jehovah in the flesh!

[@gimel77]

So, Trinitarians take this passage as referring to the Trinity: one Spirit, one Lord (Jesus Christ), and one Father. I'm not endorsing that though. But we do need to understand that there are distinctions to be made. But not between divine persons, it's kind of like how my spirit is distinct from my body, but I'm one person. God is a divine being/person with his own Spirit, the eternal Spirit, while we have created spirits. And the one Lord Jesus Christ refers to God's Son, the child born of Mary, whom God raised up and exalted. God exalted a person, not a nature, and the person he exalted was Jesus of Nazareth.

Pastor Steve, I'm not understanding what you are saying so perhaps you could approach it from a different angel. My specific question is who do you say is the "Me" in Isa 48:16 ( "... the Lord God and His Spirit have sent Me." )? Sounds like you're saying "Me" is either: a. an ancient literary construct or method that we don't understand; or b. God is speaking of Himself in the third person as royalty does. Is this correct or what am I missing?

The “pluralis majestatis” is a late 12th century expression. To assume that (Isa. 48:16) was written with the “plural of majesty” in view is merely an inference on the text and bad hermeneutical interpretation. The grammar is strong in this text, and the distinction between subjects (Lord God, and His Spirit, has sent Me) is clear. The context and grammar used substantially shows a tri-unity of (Lord God, The Holy Spirit, and the one sent).

[@Bran-ig4ww]

Ruach (Spirit) in Isaiah 48:16 is the Hebrew word used in scripture for the "breath of God". Not physical, but an essence-God's essence that sustains life. It's sometimes also translated as Spirit of God, such as in Genesis chapter 1. Jesus is the "word" of God...., do you see a connection? Breath and word... when the "word of God" was "made flesh" God became manifest (clearly seen) in Jesus. The Spirit or breath of God is clearly distinct like the word of God is. The Word of God, and The Breath of God both have “personhood”. The Bible also says 1 Corinthians 2:10 for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Meaning The Holy Spirit searches the deep mysteries/secrets of God. The Holy Spirit has MANY distinct attributes of personhood just like The Word of God does. I believe God is all three distinct yet in perfect agreement. There’s places where Jesus specifically says The Father…., and at times says God. Look at 1 Corinthians 15:24 it says Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. How is this verse to be interpreted? If The Father is God all by himself wouldn’t this be worded differently…. (I know… in different versions it is, but the KJV is “The Bible” in my personal opinion). Note: I’m still learning… please be nice 🙏🏻

I think the trinity was created without using scripture. Maybe they didn't understand Greek and Hebrew. Studying scripture precept upon precept, line upon line wasn't used. Isaiah 28:10, "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" God has one personality. I am a person because God has a personality and was created in His image to know Him personally.

The very fact that The Messiah ( God's anointed Son) is saying here "GOD and His Spirit has SENT me" is confirmation, not of a 'trinity' of three equel entities, but of a SUBORDINATE Son who was ANOINTED BY the Father ( at his baptism Matt 3:16,17) At which time GOD poured HIS Spirit on Jesus, without which he was powerless!

This sounds like you are making the physical body of Jesus into a divine person. Which the flesh of Jesus was only a flesh suit with a human soul that hosted the fullness of God. Which is why he prayed many times to "the father" because it was God that dwelled in him that conceived him.

[@brandonsheffield9873]

The flesh part of Jesus is not who I worship, I worship Jesus "the God that dwelled in him". God himself experienced everything the flesh of Jesus went through, and he rewarded the flesh/human soul of Jesus for submitting to God's will. God is called Jesus.

"The first Adam was out of dust the SECOND adam became a life giving Spirit" ( 1 Cor 15:45) Thus Jesus said "The Son of man, not to be ministered to but to minister and to give his SOUL as a RANSOM in exchage for many" ( Matt 20:28). Look, Adam didnt only lose a 'bodily suit' he lost is 'Soul' his life'. Thus Jesus laid down his perfect life in exchange for Adam who "became a living SOUL when God created him!

[@jayseth]

The claim that "trinity, 3 or triune" is not mentioned in the passage is purely strawman. Trinitarian doctrine never makes claims that scripture specifically pin points the plurality, but the plurality of persons is clear as day in scripture. You don't even spend much time exegeting the passage itself, you go into church history consensus and a ontological discourse. Also your argument on John 1 was another strawman, Trinitarian doctrine is very specific on the biblical evidence of plurality in persons sharing one divinity. The triune God is the true and living God. Scripture consistently teaches that there are three persons in the Godhead (Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14). The Father is God (Isa. 63:16; Luke 11:2; John 4:23). The Son is God (John 1:1; Rom. 9:5; Col. 1:15-16; Heb. 1:3). The Holy Spirit is also God (Acts 5:3-4). The three persons of the Godhead are not three gods but three persons subsisting in the one God.

One God The Greek word Kai is translated as and, it is also Even or that is. The word And does not mean another person. Matt 28:19 says NAME singular which is Jesus. All you have to do is read through acts and notice when they mentioned baptism. Jesus is considered the Lamb of God, the King of Kings, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the High Priest. And you believe that, but you don’t believe that One God can be all of that and more. Isaiah 44:6-8 KJVS [6] Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. [7] And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. [8] Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Revelation 1:7-8 KJVS [7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. [8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. There can’t be two first and last. Isaiah 9:6 KJVS [6] For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Why is Jesus called / Identified as the Mighty God, and the everlasting Father? 1 Timothy 3:16 KJVS [16] And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. God put on flesh, and became as a man. Colossians 2:8-9 KJVS [8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. [9] For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Jude 1:25 KJVS [25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. All that God is resides in the Body of Jesus. Acts 20:28 (NKJV) 28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. God is Spirit. How does a Spirit have blood? There is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. So God produced a human body to be sacrificed for the payment of sin for all. Well over 300 times the singular pronoun is used when speaking of God. The Greek Τριάδα is translated trinity. Not once is it used by the Apostles, nor of the OT writers. The OT is clear that ONE God was taught, then after the Apostles died He changed His mind? Mark 12:29 KJVS And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Zechariah 14:9 (NKJV) 9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be- “The LORD is one,” And His name one. John 20:26-28 (KJV) 26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

I always want to come and give the utmost respect to you in these comments, I hope nothing I say ever comes out mean or in anything other than love. A few thoughts: I don't think it is good to use an early Jewish interpretation of scripture to interpret your stance on this passage. Jesus was not crucified for being a blasphemer because he claimed to be the Messiah or the Servant that Isaiah mentions, that was all fine (or at least not worthy of death on the cross), He was crucified for claiming to be God incarnate. Of course the Jews didn't see the trinity here, they didn't understand who the Messiah is. I would also like to bring in the early church father Origen (who didn't have perfect theology but could trace the roots of his beliefs back very early) He comments on this passage the following: "Did the Father and the Holy Spirit send Jesus, or did the Father send both Christ and the Spirit? The latter is correct. For, because the Savior was sent, afterwards the Holy Spirit was sent also, that the prediction of the prophet might be fulfilled" Elliott, M. W., ed. (2007). Isaiah 40-66 (p. 104). InterVarsity Press. The "Person" speaking here is the Servant, the Servant is Jesus and God sent the Spirit and Jesus. The context of Isaiah supports this greatly and there is a mountain of academic commentaries that would back this up.

You went way out in left field to bend the passage to your dogma. “Rapture” is not in the Bible, and “gambling” is not in the Bible.

[@hargisP2]

Rapture is in the Bible. 1 Thessalonians 4:17, translated "caught up.". The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, which means to snatch or take away. Titus 1:11 (KJV) 11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. The meaning of FILTHY LUCRE is shameful gain, ill gotten money.

[@artemusbowdler7508]

@@hargisP2 I never said that I did not believe in the rapture of the saints, nor did I say that gambling was not a sin.

New life of Albany, you aren't a Christian, never mind a New Testament Christian. The Bible says those who deny the Father AND the Son as (Two distinct persons in the ONE God), are unsaved antichrist's, and that's a Biblical fact. You have to twist Isaiah 48: 16. To get your erroneous beliefs, And you have done. You Oneness people make things up, things that oppose the Bible. The Hebrew clearly shows the trinity, Moses and Isaiah knew and mentioned the trinity, as God revealed it to them to write down as an eternal witness to the plurality of persons in the ONE God. The Apostles knew and taught the trinity, but because you are blinded by the spirit of antichrist that's in you, you can't see it.

[@ralphowen3367]

You just misquoted that verse while inferring that two persons in the Godhead were involved.

[@alanhales6369]

@@ralphowen3367 it's you unsaved antichrist's that misquote Isaiah 48: 16, because it mentions Two of the Three persons in the ONE God. The spirit of antichrist that's in you has blinded you from seeing the Biblical truths.

O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one. But how Christians think about it.👇 O Israel:, The Lord is United (Father, Son and Holy Spirit 3 but 1) In short concept of God in Christianity Father is Jesus Holy Spirit is Jesus Jesus is Jesus Faith in Christianity: The belief that GOD sacrificed GOD to GOD to save GOD'S creations from GOD. It means Jesus sacrificed Jesus to Jesus to save Jesus's creations from Jesus. Seriously???

[@YAHOOISNOTG]

So who else was God going to sacrifice? you? lol. the overall theme of Christianity is self sacrifice as the highest good but i think that was certainly lost on you.

One God The Greek word Kai is translated as and, it is also Even or that is. The word And does not mean another person. Matt 28:19 says NAME singular which is Jesus. All you have to do is read through acts and notice when they mentioned baptism. Jesus is considered the Lamb of God, the King of Kings, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the High Priest. And you believe that, but you don’t believe that One God can be all of that and more. Isaiah 44:6-8 KJVS [6] Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. [7] And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. [8] Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Revelation 1:7-8 KJVS [7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. [8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. There can’t be two first and last. Isaiah 9:6 KJVS [6] For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Why is Jesus called / Identified as the Mighty God, and the everlasting Father? 1 Timothy 3:16 KJVS [16] And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. God put on flesh, and became as a man. Colossians 2:8-9 KJVS [8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. [9] For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Jude 1:25 KJVS [25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. All that God is resides in the Body of Jesus. Acts 20:28 (NKJV) 28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. God is Spirit. How does a Spirit have blood? There is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. So God produced a human body to be sacrificed for the payment of sin for all. Well over 300 times the singular pronoun is used when speaking of God. The Greek Τριάδα is translated trinity. Not once is it used by the Apostles, nor of the OT writers. The OT is clear that ONE God was taught, then after the Apostles died He changed His mind? Mark 12:29 KJVS And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Zechariah 14:9 (NKJV) 9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be- “The LORD is one,” And His name one. John 20:26-28 (KJV) 26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Pastor you get a lot right, but this you get wrong. God is triune, Three Persons and One Essence. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are distinct Persons. Disappointing. 😢

[@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa]

Not in the least. I’ve made dozens of videos on the subject showing it’s just not so. I grew up trinitarian….
