Does the word "spirit" refer to what Christians call the "third member of the trinity"?

Does the word "spirit" in "The Lord God has sent me, and His spirit" (Isaiah 48:16) refer to what Christians call the "third member of the trinity"? Let's find out. Answer: Christian commentators who are looking for trinitarian allusions in the Jewish Scriptures translate part of Isaiah 48:16 as, "The Lord God and His Spirit have sent me."  However, a proper rendering of the verse reads:  "And now the Lord God has sent me, and His spirit."  The last two Hebrew words in this verse are shelachan

Did a portion of the tri-unity god become man to suffer in order to save?

Did a portion of the tri-unity god become man to suffer in order to save?

Is it true that a portion of the Christian tri-unity god (i.e., Jesus) became man for the express purpose of undergoing temptation and suffering in order to save humankind from its sins? Let's find out. Answer: Of Jesus it is said: "For because he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18). In contrast, the God of Israel does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man's sins, because

Is Trinity supported by the account of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Is Trinity supported by the account of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Isn't the doctrine of the Trinity supported by Genesis 19:24: "Then the Lord caused to rain upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven?" Answer: It has been alleged by some Christian theologians that there are two divine personalities mentioned in this verse, one on earth, conversing with Abraham, and the other in heaven. The one on earth, it is claimed, rained down fire upon the two cities from the one in heaven. There is, however, no grammatical basis for such an

Do Deuteronomy 6:4 and Psalms 110:1 teach the trinitarian plurality of God?

Do Deuteronomy 6:4 and Psalms 110:1 teach the trinitarian plurality of God? Let's find out. Answer: By rendering Psalms 110:1 as, ". . . the Lord said to my Lord . . ." Christians argue that Jesus is greater than David and is not only the Messiah but is part of a trinitarian godhead as well (see Matthew 22:42-45, Mark 12:35-37, Luke 20:41-44, Acts 2:34-36, Hebrews 1:13). Yet, a careful examination finds their hypothesis to be totally without merit. Since le-David, in verse 1, does not always

Is one of the best New Testament proofs for the doctrine of a triune god is found in 1 John 5:7-8?

Is it not true that one of the best New Testament proofs for the doctrine of a triune god is found in 1 John 5:7-8? Find out the answer to this question in this article by Gerald Sigal.

New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

Is it true that there are New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity? Let's find out. Answer: Yes, there are many. An examination of the purported words of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels, clearly shows that he never said he was God or a part of God. Jesus spoke of his Father in heaven as his God (John 20:17), to whom he attributed superior authority, knowledge, and greatness (Matthew 20:23, Mark 13:32, John 14:28). Jesus certainly was not equal to God, for he

Incorrect Claims That Jesus And God Are Equal You Need To Know

Incorrect Claims That Jesus And God Are Equal You Need To Know

Continued from Part 4 Paul states “that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11).  Some Trinitarian Christians allege this shows that Paul taught that Jesus and God are equal.  However, their claim is not correct.  The complete passage shows Jesus’ in a subservient position to that of God:   The attitude you should have is the one Christ had:  Although he existed in the form of God he did not think that by force he should try to become equal with God.  Instead, he

New Testaments Confusions Around Claims That Jesus Is The Creator

Continued from Part 10 Jesus as an instrument of the Creator Even the authors of John, Colossians, and Hebrews, who elevate Jesus to a point where he is viewed as the medium through whom things are done, do not claim that he is the Creator or part of a triune deity.  They consider him the supernatural instrument through which the Creator works: All things came into being through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into being.  (John 1:3) For in him all things were created in the
