Discuss Matthew 28 Page 17

A disciple: you say that a person in a sect and what you really mean is cult believes they are the only ones that are chosen or who gets it although the only thing shared here by Brian or myself is available to anyone through the word but besides that are you not contradicting yourself when you lash out at Brian or myself for not seeing it the way you do. Do unto others as you would have done to u

A disciple: where is the error when every baptism that was ever done in the Bible was done in the name of Jesus? Its all through the book of Acts. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in the body of Jesus which is what we are baptized into and it is a fulfillment of Matthew 28:19 to the name. This was the doctrine of baptisms followed through by all the disciples and recorded in the Bible. Acts4:12

Redeemed, you are correct. MOST of us grew up with the same blinders received from religion which only Jesus Christ can remove. It is frustrating to say the least trying to explain things to those with closed ears. Same thing Paul went through in Acts 7:57 "Then they cried out with a loud voice, and STOPPED THEIR EARS, and ran upon him with one accord," We all provided countless scriptures...

Brian: there is no since in debating the scriptures the Son has to reveal the Father to him as he did to Paul as well as us. The sad thing is that the Lord is trying to draw people to him and by going back and forth fighting with scriptures we are placing a stumbling block before others that Christ died and we should be walking in unity not division if we love one another.

"...Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." "A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject..."

disciple, Jeremiah 23:24 "...Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord" God is a SPIRIT that is EVERYWHERE at once. GOD MANIFESTED HIMSELF IN A BODY of flesh and blood as JESUS CHRIST to be able to die. STILL the SAME GOD, not ANOTHER ONE. Why does anyone think it is so hard for God robed in flesh being baptized to also speak from Heaven at the same time and show a SIGN of the Holy Ghost?

Mark and Luke 9th chapter, "This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him".

It's just that. He was talking to his disciples cause the knew the name of the father the son and holy ghost Jesus.He taught his diciples they were the ones who walked and talked with him before he went to the cross.
They knew His name. Jesus

Brian; You yourself quote how there are three mentioned; and then persist in wrenching another strange meaning out of it! Jesus came down to the Jordan to be baptized; the Spirit descended in the form of a dove; the Father spoke from heaven, "This is my Son the beloved, in whom I have found delight." You have believed a false teaching, and another gospel sent to rob you of salvation. Repent!

disciple, what scripture verses does one NOT take out of context? John 4:24"GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." 1 Timothy 3:16"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"

Brian (cont.); The problem is that which the Jews stumble at also; that God was manifest in the flesh. We receive in faith that God made man in His image and likeness; but the suggestion that God Himself who has power to give life and create by simply commanding it to be, should "be able" to replicate Himself in a Son, born of a woman! Things too high for us just now, God is able to let us know.

Brian; but you're taking scriptures out of context, and seem to be deliberately denying the plain facts! A man and his wife become one, but they are still two people. God is one, and therefore He has said that we Believers should be one; but there is still the individual persons of the Father and the Son, just as we are still individuals. The Oneness of God is spiritual, in will, and in nature.

response to "a disciple' I'll continue to let the Word of God do the speaking and those that have ears will hear it as we are earnestly to contend for the faith. JESUS CHRIST IS GOD ALMIGHTY. Colossians 2:9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." He is the great I AM of Exodus 3:14

Irene, Redeemed, Brian, and everyone else to whom it may apply; "..in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." "A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition (warning) reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself."

The "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are merely TITLES for JESUS CHRIST. The COMMAND is to baptize in the NAME of the Father Son and Holy Ghost and that NAME is JESUS CHRIST. There is ONE GOD who manifests Himself as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and His NAME is JESUS CHRIST. Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, and his name shall be called...The mighty God, The everlasting Father."

Gal 3:16, I love how the word of God is very specific he saith not to thy seeds as many but to thy seed which is one which is Christ. Just like Matthew 28:19 baptizing them in the name, he saith not names as many but name which is one which is Jesus Christ. Isaiah 9:6 the Sons name shall be called Counsellor which is the Holy Ghost, everlasting Father the fulfillment of Matt28:19. Praise the Holy1

9:6 is the best verse to describe the singular name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Matthew 28:19 which leads us to Acts 2:38, Acts 8:12, Acts 10:47-48, Acts 19:1-5. Jesus is the Father of creation the Son of Redemption and the Holy Ghost of regeneration the one Lord of Deut 6:4 that Saul thought he was doing service to but said who art thou Lord, I am Jesus, Saul knew as a Jew there was only1

Question? When the Lord commands the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost why do the disciples command people to be baptized in the name of Jesus? Could the answer be found in Isaiah 9:6? The subject of the verse the Son his name shall be called everlasting Father

Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Verse 18 of this Chapter it is a comprehensive assurance for all true believers that there is total victory at the end of any challenge they may encounter on this journey of a lifetime, because all the power has been given unto JESUS. Glory be to God.

Your right Bruce and Gaileeanna. Genesis1: 26 does state, Let US make man in OUR image. Good comment!

Always remember nothing is ever impossible for GOD! The trinity is Father God, son Jesus Christ and the Holy spirit. This is why the number 3 is extremely significant in the bible also numbers 1,7, and 144,000 as well.

Irene: Did God said,let Us make "Man" in Our Image? First: Did God say let Us Make or let me Make? Us: is more then One. Now: Are you saying, God said let Us Make Jesus in Our Image? Or,its Impossible for God to Make Man in His Image?

In order to understand any verse of scripture (including Gen. 1:26), we must "rightly divide the word of truth." First of all, God is a spirit, and since there is no image that can be made of a spirit, the words "our image" may refer to a future body that would belong to God. That is exactly who Jesus Christ was, the image of the invisible God ( Col. 1:15). cont.

Irene: God said let "Us"make man in "Our Image" after" Our Likeness" The Trinity is God. Without any 1 of The Three there would be no God: Genesis1:26-27/ Ever learning and never able to come to The Knowledge of The Truth.---But Evil man and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2Timothy 3:7, 13.

Thank-you and GOD BLESS YOU for your support in the truth of God's word - Steven B.!

Has anyone researched the trinity? the origin of it? It BEGAN in 325 A.D. with Roman Emp. Constantine and the Roman Pope. Jesus name baptism began in ca. 30-33 A.D. Acts2:38 - nearly300 yrs. before the trinity.

When Jesus spoke the words in Matthew 28, it was with clear intention of the word "name" that he did so. The name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is singular. Notice he did not use the word "names". He gave Peter the keys to the kingdom, and on the Day of Pentecost, Peter and those in the Upper Room were filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 spells out the formula for believers to follow.

Matthew 28: 18- Jesus said: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Our Lord Jesus has risen from the dead and He will come back again. Since He has ALL powers, what is there too hard for Him to do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He has power to save our sin-soaked souls. He has power to heal. He has power to provide for ALL our needs. All hail Jesus!

V.19- If you don't listen to Christ Himself, you can make up any story you want. He'll allow it. With 30000 religions in the world, and variations of each, what's one more. 'Til He comes again.
