DHK: I took this scripture to different English teachers I had when I was in school and all of them said that according to what they had been taught it was plain and obvious that the writer was talking about that there was a singular name that was to be used.
I have studied many book and many writers and theologians on the subject of the Trinity. Many of them have also been dumbfounded by the fact that the name of Jesus is not used when the book of ACts makes it clear this is the formula for baptism. THey said using the name of Jesus in no way hurts the doctrine of the Trinity. They know the Bible makes it very clear that salvation comes through this name.
DHK: I have heard exactly what you said from others but it is not correct. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not names they are titles. So no one would come in the authority of a title of a person. They would come in the authority of a name. You cannot write a check signing Father, or Son on it. A name has to be used.
Paul made it clear a singular name was used. When the Corinthians was arguing about who their spiritual Father was Paul asked them if they had been baptized in his name or Cephas' name or Aquila's name. So this lets us know they baptized in a name. That name according to the book of ACts was Jesus.
When a woman marries a man she takes his last name. The church is refered to as a bride of Christ so why would not the church take his name.
If a woman went and said I am Mrs Husband, or Mrs. Father or Mrs. Son she would be laughed at or would be told she has no legal stand without a legal married name. In baptism the church is to take on his name. The name of their bridegroom.
I am amazed how you can read Genesis and see the words Our a couple of times and jump to the conclusion that proves the Trinity when the same scripture talks about a singular image and uses the pronoun HIS image. Again it does not say their image.
Who created heaven and Earth? John said Jesus did. So Jesus is a singular person. What yout teach DHK is not scriptural. The Trinity did not create the Heavens and EArth but Jesus did.
Again as I have written before. John said that Jesus said that he was not going to leave them comfortless but he was sending another comforter. He did not say he was sending another person. Another part of the Godhead. He said he was coming to them but in a different form.
He told the apostles that the world did not recognize him but they did because he lived with them. Who lived with them? Jesus did. Who was coming back. Jesus was. How? In spirit form to reside in their hearts. They were going to be comforted by his spirits presence instead of his human presence. THis was the OTHER OR ANOTHER comforter. Jesus assured them that he was not going to forsake them but he was coming to them in another form.
Matthew 28:19 and John 14 in no way proves the Trinity.
