I haven't read it yet, but this was when I started to think that the doctrine of the Trinity was yet another manmade corrine and has flaws. Going to bedd. Ta ta.
You've made a believer out of me. I was leaning this way, but I agree and feel relieved! It makes me feel closer to God now that I have clarity on what the spirit is. We don't need two spirit Gods. I've never understood that, and I remember in my little Baptist church when the pastor was preaching against people glorifying the holy spirit during the Jesus revolution, he said nowhere in scripture are we told to glorify the holy spirit. Now I understand why. But if I say this new belief to others, they automatically start defending all the holy spirit has done for them. They think I'm denying the holy spirit. In fact, it make God more personal, not less.
Now, I'm a little afraid of what else is different in our perspectives. Is there a way that you can just chart some dogma or practices that you as a Hebrew believer and I as a gentile would see things differently so that I can get ready for the scriptures and issues?
Are you a Zionist? I believe from what I've seen so far that there is a good, Biblical zionist, and a bad secular zionist. I'd like to understand this deeper. My own understanding is that God has chosen Mount Zion for his throne, his home on earth and that this is in Jerusalem. Also, do many believers begin to immigrate to Jerusalem because of this? End Times?
I try to unpack those differences every week. There's a lot to unpack, lol. Not trying to sell you on anything, but if you go to my main website (sergiodesoto.com) and subscribe to the newsletter, I'm going to do a lot more smaller topic-specific posts there. A
s far as being a Zionist, that's a loaded question, and I'll tell you why. Do I believe Israel deserves a nation? Yes, absolutely. Am I a fundamentalist on how the government runs? Absolutely not. But that goes back to conflating and word flattening, which is so relevant and rampant in the public.
They don't know how to separate the two. Lots to process, right?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. 🙏
Was Jesus confused when he instructed believers to " Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" in Matthew 28:19 ?
If the hagios pneuma of God is not a person, why would Jesus' final earthly words before ascending into heaven be mentioning God the Father twice?
I think I may finally understand why your comprehension of believers being free from the law is different from mine.
A person who is not filled with the Holy Spirit is not yet saved.
Matthew 28:19 uses a single ὄνομα, one name, not three. Whatever else that verse establishes, it resists the idea that Father, Son, and Spirit are three separate, independent entities.
So, the disciples were disobeying Christ? Now I'm confused by you. Jesus commanded them to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Why did they refuse to obey Jesus?
They weren’t disobeying. They were answering the question Matthew 28:19 raises: what is that one name? Acts gives the answer every single time… Yeshua. The apostles were there. They got it right.

Matthew 28:19 uses a single ὄνομα, one name, not three. Whatever else that verse establishes, it resists the idea that Father, Son, and Spirit are three separate, independent entities.
Was Jesus confused?
He said one name singular.
His own apostles, who were present for those words, baptized exclusively in the name of Yeshua (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5).
Either they were confused, or they understood the singular ὄνομα better than modern Christians do.
So, the disciples were disobeying Christ? Now I'm confused by you. Jesus commanded them to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Why did they refuse to obey Jesus?
They weren’t disobeying. They were answering the question Matthew 28:19 raises: what is that one name? Acts gives the answer every single time… Yeshua. The apostles were there. They got it right.
But you said they only baptized in the Fathers name. That's disobedience
Yes, the Trinity.
