I am talking about within the Godhead, not the temporary "submission" of Jesus Christ, the God-Man to the Father.

yes, One, but Three

then there cannot be any "subordination"

I have looked at your blogs on this important Doctrine, and can see that you have spent much time on your research and presentation. However, I have yet to see any person who rejects "eternal conscious punishment", demonstrate from the the Greek text, using the lexical aids and examples...

Another thing is, that we know that the Father is "Yahweh", and Jesus Christ is "Yahweh", and the Holy Spirit is also "Yahweh". This Name of God means "The existing, ever-living, as self-consistent and unchangeable, self-existing", which means that neither can be the "originator" of the others...

Revelation 22:1, "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb". The Greek "θρόνου", is in the singular, as they are on "one throne", as in "joint Rulers". And in Revelation 11:15 we read, "And the seventh angel sounded...

"μονογενής", has nothing to do with "begetting", as it literally means "of a single kind" or "unique". “only-begotten,” which would be "μονογέννητος", in the Greek. the Old Latin had "unicus" (unique), which the Vulgate of Jerome changed to "unigenitus", which was to combat the Arian heresy that...

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (2 Cor. 13:14) 1. Jesus, 2. The Father, 3. The Holy Spirit

any Scripture examples though?

Not in the Bible, this is early Church theology. How can they be "coequal", if the Father "generates" the Son and Holy Spirit? Its like the Sun, and its rays. One is the "source", the others are "derived". Please give one Bible text.

reading his posts, I don't think so. sadly there are many "evangelicals" who also deny the full equality of the Persons in the Godhead, with many accepting the heretical teaching of "eternal generation", which comes from Origen in the 2nd/3rd centuries, who taught that Jesus Christ and the Holy...

I have already given Matthew 28:19 as a clear text for the Holy Trinity, which shows that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are "distinct Persons" (the best word in English to describe Them), yet share the One Name, Yahweh. I would like to add here what one of the leading Greek grammarians has...

This is exactly why the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ must be preached to all with urgency, as there is no telling when our lives might end. There is hope in no other, than the Saviour of mankind, the Lord Jesus. He feels all of the pain. This is indeed a very depressing and sad incident, and...

Dr Loraine Boettner's description on the use of "Person" for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is most helpful. "How shall we define the term “person”? As it is used in modern Psychology it means an intelligent, free, moral agent. But in setting forth the doctrine of the Trinity the Church has...

My "ignorance" is based on the Teachings of the Holy Bible. Can you tell me how you understand John 1:1?

Yes, to him Jesus is "like" God, hence he cannot use coequal.

So, so are saying that as "God", Jesus Christ is not "God", in exactly the same way that the Father is? In which case you must believe in 2 distinct Gods, one greater than the other! In your thinking John 1:1, does not read "and the Word was God", equivalent to when "God" is used for the Father...

I have! It does NOT answer the question if you fully believe with all your heart, that Jesus Christ is YAHWEH, fully equal to God the Father. Yes or no? John 1:1, "the Word (Jesus Christ) was with God (the Father), and the Word was God". COEQUAL with the Father! Two distinct "Persons", yet one God.

simple question here. Do you believe that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are Almighty God?

You have a problem in name calling! Grow up!!!
