Your Views on The Trinity

[praise_yeshua]

Correct since we know YHWH on many occasions declared He alone was the only Savior.

Yet Jesus is called the Savior in the N.T. many times and not once is the " Father " ever called Savior in the N.T.

Yep....

The "rider of the white horse"....

Rev 19:12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.

If you research the context of "YHWH" you end up here in Revelation 19:12. It is the lost name of Messiah that comes out of the origins of the great "I AM" from Exodus. The origins of the tongue of Moses. The language of all the earth that once filled this world.

The One and Only Son "Rev 19:13 clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God."

A name lost to this world "among men" until Jesus Christ Himself epitomized fulness of Deity in becoming flesh and dwelling among us.

Some reference this as the "Tetragrammaton". The "vanity" of mankind in forgetting God.

The "third commandment"

Exo 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

At least that is my penny.

I love this and we can add that the great " I AM " of the O.T. promised He would one day dwell and walk among His people.

And we know Jesus said no man has seen the Father for He dwells in unapproachable light and is invisible.

So even if they deny it has already taken place with Jesus they are still up a creek without a paddle and make those promised out to be a lie.

Presbyterians generally believe in congregationalism and the individual priesthood of the believe in having direct access to God. Which makes them very "independent" at times. I'm generally the same way apart from the ego driven concepts of individual election taught in various flavors found among Protestants.

I haven't "fit in" most anywhere in a very very long time. People can't usually tolerate me very long because I don't mind saying I disagree.

Yep... Those Presbyterians are a strange lot.

I resemble that remark....

The KJV uses the word peculiar... In 1st Peter 2:9

Waylen Jennings said "I've always been crazy but it keep me from going insane".

Well, if anyone should have known... it was Jimmy.

This quote should be my signature......

Still you did not support your phrase "the First and the Last died" as Biblical.
If you go on with your interpretation, you also make the Alpha and Omega died.

Rev 22:13 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Your support is not in one phrase, it refers to Jesus human flesh that died.

1Pe 3:18 For Christ also suffered for sins once for all time, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Revelation 1:17,18 is still there, even though you don't seem to see it. The First and the Last is talking, he said he was dead, but is now alive. Means he died. You do realize that Jesus died don't you? The First and the Last is a human who died, not an immortal God who died.

Revelation 1
17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

It was an eye opening for me when I learned who were the first guys to give us the original sin. It was not the Apostles. Yep... Catholics again.

Yeah, Martin Luther sure did have a lot to say with his 95 theses really have so little change. Not many major differences between Catholic and Protestant philosophy.
