Here is John Calvin's Comments
CHAPTER 17

John 17:1-5

1. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given to him. 3. And this is eternal life, that they may know thee, the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. 4. I have glorified thee on the...

Compelling Arguments vs. Absolute Proof

Suppose a carpenter is accused of robbing a store, and youve been selected for the jury in his trial.

The prosecutor lays out his case first, and it is a compelling array of evidence. He shows that the mans fingerprints were found at the crime scene. Then he documents that the accused went on a spending spree after the crime that totaled far more money than his modest income would allow. He even brings out a few letters and tape recordings of some of the carpenters own words that...

Confusion in Trinity doctrine

1st Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints.

Athanasian Creed, The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God.

About The Trinity

Everything that the trinitarians claims makes Jesus God. Are the same things we can do also. And it doesnt make us God.
Matt 20:22-23
22 But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to Him, "We are able."
23 So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to...

Christ is the "Messiah the Prince" of Daniel 9:25

feeds@yuku.com (Exodus Six Verse Three) — Mon, 25 Nov 2002 10:56:55 GMT

I think that it is importent to realize that Jesus,
who is called Christ in the Greek New Testament,
is the prophecised "Messiah the Prince" of Daniel 9:25

This is sometimes lost sight of,
because the Greek New Testament refers to the "Messiah" as "Christ"

In John 1:41 it is acknowledged that the Hebrew term "Messiah"
is being translated into Greek as "Christ"

I will just start this post of, the things I will state are facts, but there is always room for opinions, and maybe someone will get educated by this post.

Let's start out with saying that Trinitarians will often use multiplication for the Trinity doctrine, yet they do not realize they use it in vain. In order to use 1 x 1 (which means you repeat the same thing) we need to say that Trinity is three Fathers for 1 x 1 x 1, or Trinity is three Sons for 1 x 1 x 1, or Trinity is...

Reply to Phil Maxwell ["Yeh" vs "Yah" ]

Under the subject heading ["Yeh" vs "Yah" ] on another thread,
Phil Maxwell says:

>>>
My hold-up on the "Yeh" of "Yeshua" and "Yehoshua"
is that we can be pretty certain that the first syllable of His name
came from His Father's name,
the poetical contraction of which is "Yah"
(Ps 68:4, Strongs OT #3050).

Is the son of Nun's name Yehoshua or Yahshua?

feeds@yuku.com (Exodus Six Verse Three) — Thu, 21 Nov 2002 03:46:00 GMT

Both the Ben Chayyim Hebrew text
and the BHS Hebrew text preserve the 2nd Hebrew form shown below,
as the name of the Son of Nun.

The Ben Chayyim Hebrew text also preserves the form marked [Full].
[in one or two verses]

Most Christian Bibles call the son of Nun, Joshua.

The name "Yehoshua" appears to be a letter-by-letter...

More on the Trinity

feeds@yuku.com (MikeJDavis) — Mon, 11 Nov 2002 11:18:59 GMT

Phil,

Continuing here with the discussion about the Trinity, as you suggested on the "Sound Off" board:

I think your description of the church's use of the doctrine of the Trinity as a "tenet of salvation" or a "litmus test for true brotherhood" is somewhat inaccurate. It is not as if the church is arbitrarily setting an irrelevant or unBiblical standard. It seems that an accurate, Biblical understanding of one's own salvation demands at least a belief in Christ's deity and Christ's...

The Trinity History

feeds@yuku.com (VICTOR) — Mon, 11 Nov 2002 11:16:37 GMT

Most Christians in the world today believe in the Trinity which is the union of the three divine persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- into one Godhead. The Dictionary states that doctrine is something taught as the principles of a religion and that dogma is a doctrine formally and authoritatively affirmed but not necessarily proven. The Trinity, therefore, is a principle that can be considered dogmatic.

Sincere Christians, however, are more interested in obtaining accurate...

Relativism and the Trinity

feeds@yuku.com (Phil Maxwell) — Tue, 05 Nov 2002 15:31:57 GMT

I found the following definition of truth posted on an internet message board the other day. Unfortunately, the example given illuminates the reality of the so-called Christian orthodoxy, demonstrating the direct link between Relativism and Trinitarianism.

Truth = the agreements formed in a community.

This concept of truth seems much more "Christian" than the modern concept. None of us can actually know the way things really are, we are just too limited/finite. We are...

feeds@yuku.com (TDlefty) — Fri, 01 Nov 2002 13:19:03 GMT

It really seems strange to me that people still believe in the trinity doctrine!
Was/is Jesus a man like the bible says in 1Tim 2:5? If he is a man, came in the flesh, then he is not God! Numbers 23:19 specifically states that God is not a man, nor the son of man! Does not scripture say that God is Spirit and that we must worship him is spirit and truth? Did not Jesus call the Father "the only true God" in John 17? Doesn't John 1:18 say that "no man has seen God at any...
