And what is "the name (singular) of the Father, and [b]of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit?"
PS you mised out the second and third "of".[/b]
You will never know anything about God unless it is REVEALED to you by God Himself, through His Word by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Essentially there are two arguments. Both are wrong because they are generated by two kinds of men. Both on the same path. Both are Pharisees. The one denies the existence of God, and the other thinks he can live a life pleasing to God based on his own efforts.
The argument concerning the nature and attributes of God has been debated for thousands of years.
Originally posted by RJHindsno, that just means there was more than one god involved in the creation myth.
Like I said to galveston75, God doesn't say exactlly what you want, but it can be deduced from what He has said.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. ...[text shortened]... man that He created them, male and female, in His Own image.
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord!
Originally posted by RJHindsif that's the case, you must reject the trinity doctrine. there is nowhere in the bible that says biblegod is a trinity. you have completely failed to understand it.
There is nowhere in the Holy Bible that says what you want it to say, because your understanding is untrue. The Holy Bible is a book of truth and you are the same as "flat man" trying to understand a being with more than two dimensions.

Originally posted by RJHindsof course it settles it. the christian chruch is a pagan church. no surprise that they would worship 3 or more gods (depending on the christian church). and all of them worship at least 1 man. one in particular has a complete pantheon of man-gods.
The Trinity Doctrine is the truth because it is declared to be the truth by the Christian church and so that settles it.

In response to RJHinds comment ... what would you say is "the name (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit?"
