That's great you got your doctrine to work up to a certain point. Do you see that all these passages work with my doctrine as well, and even your definitions! But, this is the thing, your doctrine may fit some scripture, but it does not fit all! Like Jn 17:3, or Gen 1:26-27; 2:22.
well let's see. John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
see that conjunction "
and", do it indicate two separate and distinct Persons? well let the bible tell us if so. James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before
God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
God and the Father? is this two separate and distinct persons? 101G will let you answer that. think long and Hard... ok.
now, Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
again let the Bible answer and see if this is two or more persons or not. the verse said, "And
God said". so, is God more than one person? let the bible answer, again. this is God speaking, the Lord Jesus, Matthew 19:4 "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that
he which made them at the beginning made them male and female," so. do you believe the Lord Jesus? again 101G let you answer that. for God said he is ONE PERSON. so how do that answer the US and the OUR in verse 26? again let the bible answer. the US and the OUR is to come, Romans 5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,
who is the figure of him that was to come." again, this is the ECHAD of God, the Ordinal Last to come in Flesh. supportive scripture, Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD:" the term ONE here is the Hebrew word,
H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258
notice definition #2. 101G is using the Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Dictionaries of the Greek and Hebrew Testaments. it states the ORDINAL FIRST, the Spirit of Genesis 2:22 is the same example that God was to come LATER, as the woman was manifested Later, so was the Christ/God in flesh Manifested Later in TIME. so in the beginning
God the Equal share of himself was
of, of, of, himself, Just as the term God in Genesis 1:1 clearly states.
God:
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural]
1. (literally) supreme ones.
2. (hence, in the ordinary sense) gods.
3. (specifically, in the plural, especially with the article) the Supreme God (i.e. the all supreme).
4. (sometimes) supreme, used as a superlative.
5. (occasionally, by way of deference) supreme magistrates, the highest magistrates of the land.
6. (also) the supreme angels (entities of unspecified type).
[plural of H433]
KJV: angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
Root(s): H433
Compare: H5945, H7706, H8199, H4397
see it now ........
[plural of H433] as the woman is the
plural of, of, of, of, the man, which was brought forth later, as Christ was brought forth later, in these LAST DAYS.
Oh this is Just too easy. again, if you need any help in understanding God ECHAD of himself, just ask.
