Jesus is the name of all three! Colosians 3 tells us that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in him bodily! Isaiah tells us that His name shall be called wonderful....the mighty God. The apostles after the 28:19 disertation from Christ.....get the baptism of the Holy Ghost and then Peter preaches in acts 2:38 repent every one of you and be baptized in the NAME of Jesus Christ....What!?!?!?! I thought Jesus said Father Son and Holy Ghost! Is Peter crazy? No. Jesus said to baptize IN THE NAME. This is why the word of God says His name is above all names!! Thomas said my Lord ....My God. Yes the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost is Jesus. He was the root and the offspring of Abraham. The beginning and the end, the word that was with God and the word that was God, and the word that was made flesh!! I hope this helps it is obvious to me by the colossions verse and others who the name was that Christ referred to. His name shall be called wonderful! Have a great day |

Dear Jim,
Can you clarify and repose your question please? I see that it was answered, but I'm not clear whether that was what you were asking. If it is, I would want to offer a different answer. However, I'd like to see the question clarified and asked again, so that a broader group of participants can respond.
It seems that you are asking, "What does it mean to baptize [people from all nations] in [or "into"] the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost?" in Matthew 28:19 as part of "mak[ing] disciples of all nations." Is this your question?
Jesus is definitely NOT the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is the Son; the Son is fully God, but God is not fully the Son. The concept of the Trinity is not fully comprehensible, but it is fairly simply stated in Scripture. There are a number of clear statements about God in Scripture that must be reconciled, and this reconciliation leaves us with the doctrine of the Trinity. It is difficult (impossible, given our current bodily and fleshly limitations?) to visualize and-or to understand fully HOW God can be what He describes Himself to be, but the specific descriptions are not complicated in and of themselves.
There is a lot that people on this list can contribute (and have contributed previously) to answer similar questions. Please don't give up with the one reply you received. Try to rephrase or clarify your question more deeply for us. Thanks! |

The relationship of the Church and God through Christ Jesus is the mystery. Keeping in mind that the Jews believed that to follow Christ was a violation of the First commandment (Exod. 20:3,4 ).
The relationship could only be revealed by revelation knowledge. God will not waste time giving information to a person who in there mind refuse to accept it. It will remain a mystery or unknown to them |

TESTING THE FAITH
Sunday, holy Sunday?
Pastor resurrects Sabbath debatewith 1 million reward
By Joe Kovacs
© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com
One of the longest running disputes in the history of Christianity -
Saturday vs. Sunday - is having new life breathed into it with a cash reward
of up to 1 million toward a resolution.
A. Jan Marcussen, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Illinois, is starting
with 50,000 of his own money if someone can produce "a verse from the Holy
Bible showing that God commands us to keep holy the first day of the week" -
Sunday - "instead of the seventh day" - Saturday - "as is commanded in the
Bible."
He says the reward will increase in 25,000 increments each week for 40
consecutive weeks if no one sends him such a verse, with a final cap at 1
million.
"The 50,000 offer is to wake people up out of a stupor," Marcussen tells
WorldNetDaily. "People wake up when there's money involved."
A. Jan Marcussen and wife Vennita
Marcussen, who says he has the money ready to pay if someone is successful,
is making the offer to encourage people to read the Bible for themselves,
instead of accepting without question what religious leaders have been
instructing.
"Millions of people believe and have confidence in their clergy that what
they're being taught is true," says Marcussen. "They'll find out that the
clergy is not teaching from the Bible."
Marcussen, 52, is not only a preacher in his local church, he's also a
physical therapist, nutritionist, marriage counselor and author of six
books. One of those works, "National Sunday Law," focuses on the
Saturday-vs.-Sunday debate. Marcussen is asking people to read that book
before applying for the reward. (It can be downloaded for free from his
website.)
As a college student in the 1970s, Marcussen made a similar, albeit smaller,
challenge. He posted an ad in a local newspaper starting with a 500 reward
and ending up at 1,000. "Certain preachers really got excited," he says.
"But the only thing they couldn't do was produce a Bible verse [as proof]."
Experts on biblical scripture tell WorldNetDaily that Marcussen has little
need to worry about paying out the money.
"I am afraid that you are not going to find an exact Bible verse to counter
the good pastor's challenge and collect," says James Efird, professor of
biblical interpretation at Duke University Divinity School in North
Carolina. "As far as I know, there is no verse which specifies that Sunday
is the day for Christians to observe the Sabbath."
Indeed, neither the words Saturday nor Sunday appear anywhere in most
translations of the Bible. Days of the week are referred to by number,
starting in the first chapter of Genesis in the account of creation. It was after the work of creating that God made special note of one day of the
week: "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in
it he had rested from all his work which God created and made" (Genesis
2:3).
In the Ten Commandments, the seventh day was made the focus of the fourth
mandate: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy ... thou shalt not do
any work ... For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exodus 20:8-11).
The word sabbath comes from the Hebrew root word "shabbat," meaning to rest,
cease or desist. Scholars say the word in Bible scripture not only refers to
the weekly day of rest, but also the annual festivals of God such as
Passover and Day of Atonement. It additionally refers to a sabbatical year,
and it's the term denoting one week. The phrase "first day of the week"
occurs eight times in the King James translation of the New Testament,
mostly dealing with the circumstances of Jesus' resurrection.
In the lexicon of modern society, the debate over which day is holy - that
is, set apart to God - goes unresolved by the editors of Webster's New World
College Dictionary. While the first definition of sabbath calls it "the
seventh day of the week (Saturday), set aside for rest and worship and
observed as such by Jews (from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) and some
Christian denominations," its second meaning defines it as "Sunday as the
usual Christian day of rest and worship."

rest of the story:
"There's a fear factor among preachers," says Marcussen, on why churches
don't have their members look into this issue. "They're afraid their sheep
will start reading the Bible, and they know they'll lose their sheep."
One expert who has spent his career researching and explaining the Sabbath
debate is Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi, a retired theology professor at Andrews
University in Michigan. He tells WorldNetDaily two factors are responsible
for the shift from one day to another: "Anti-Judaism caused the abandonment
of the Sabbath, and pagan sun worship influenced the adoption of Sunday."
Bacchiocchi says the Church of Rome, which grew into the Roman Catholic
Church, had great influence in promoting Sunday observance. "The Church of
the capital of the empire, whose authority was already felt far and wide in
the second century, appears to be the most likely birth-place of Sunday
observance," he writes in his book, "From Sabbath to Sunday: A historical
investigation of the rise of Sunday observance in early Christianity."
In May 1998, Pope John Paul II issued an apostolic letter on the subject,
entitled Dies Domini (The Lord's Day). In it, the pontiff refers to the
origins of Sunday-keeping.
"In the weekly reckoning of time, Sunday recalls the day of Christ's
Resurrection," writes the pope. "It is Easter which returns week by week,
celebrating Christ's victory over sin and death, the fulfillment in him of
the first creation and the dawn of 'the new creation.'"
The pontiff goes on to state that though Sunday has become a time for
cultural, political and sporting events, it has a significance that
shouldn't be ignored. "Unfortunately, when Sunday loses its fundamental
meaning and becomes merely part of a 'weekend,' it can happen that people
stay locked within a horizon so limited that they can no longer see 'the
heavens.'"
Though Protestant churches have some significant differences with
Catholicism, one thing often agreed on today is Sunday observance.
"The church always met on Sunday throughout the New Testament," says Dr.
Jerry Falwell, chancellor of Liberty University in Virginia. "Saturday is
clearly the Sabbath as is recorded many times in the Old Testament. In
Christian Church tradition, Sunday became 'the Lord's Day' when Jesus rose
from the grave."
The actual times of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection are not universally
agreed on either. "I personally believe he was crucified on Wednesday
evening ... and rose after 6 p.m. Saturday evening," Falwell tells
WorldNetDaily. "Others believe he died on Friday ... But the point is, he
did rise on Sunday, which, in Jewish tradition, started the evening before
at 6 p.m."
Falwell is among those who believe which day is chosen is not of great
significance. "I don't think Saturday or Sunday are more sacred than other
days," he says. He also points out there have been so many calendar changes
over the years, chronologists are not even certain that a day of the week in
the 21st century matches the same day from centuries ago.
Most scholars agree that biblical references to "the sabbath day" denote the
seventh day of the week. But in the years to come after Jesus rose, the
first day of the week came into competition with Saturday, and at times both
days were being observed side by side. The ostensible church was divided on
the issue, choosing different days to regard as holy.
"It may be that Sunday was originally one of the [pagan] Roman festival
days," explains Professor Efird at Duke, "but so were several others that
the church adopted in its evolution, [for example:] Christmas."
Marcussen condemns the change in day of observance. "It's the greatest hoax
of all time, foisted upon the world for hundreds and hundreds of years," he
says. His zeal on the matter reflects his belief that citizens of the United
States and other countries will be forced to choose sides on the issue in
the so-called "end time" mentioned in Scripture.
"Sunday worship is the mark of the Papacy's authority," Marcussen writes in
his book. "Sunday worship is the 'mark of the beast!'" Yet he insists he is
not attacking anyone's faith, but rather trying to lead people to the Bible,
Jesus, and eventually Heaven.
"I love all these ministers who teach falsehoods," Marcussen says. "Many are
honest - they're not all crooks - they believe Sunday is God's day ... this
offer will help them find the truth."
Marcussen expects his challenge to be eye-opening for many who never thought
about the issue, and he thinks it will spark serious global attention. "The
impact of this is going to be like an atomic bomb, it will mushroom all over
the world."

I had to break this into 2 parts, I hope it doesn't confuse anybody. Anyway, I know the Bible doesn't say 'Thou shalt now worship on Sunday", but it doesn't say Saturday only either. The first Christians were Jews so Sat was normal for them but when the Gentiles came in, Sat was normal for them and Sat was the sign for Israel and God, Jesus did bring a new covenant so... |

As long as he is the judge and jury in the competition he is safe and his money is in no danger. I could make the same statement (opposite his beliefs) and as long as I was the judge and jury, I would make sure my money was safe and sound.
You might ask how?
1.) Throw me a scripture in the O.T. concerning the Sabbath I would take a dispensational approach and nullify it.
2.) There are no passages in the N.T. that enforce Sabbath worship for N.T. believers. If you show me one, I will just say it does not apply.
Money safe, period.
Claims like those carry no weight with me. |

I thought I could help you a little... As far as pre-existance, such and our souls being in heaven and coming down to earth, there are no biblical supporting or denying pre-existance. However, in Psalm 139:13 suggest that we aren't created until we are conceived. As for God destroying satan, He will Revelations 20 is all about the destruction of the devil. You just have to have faith that God knows all and his decisions are for the best. God created an angel but the pride of the angel created satan (Isaiah 14:12-19.) Heaven really is a place free from sin. Other angels did defy God, they followed Satan to the underworld. They were cast down with the devil. |

Greetings Elizabeth!
It is highly revealing that there is not a single instance in Scripture of a Christian being said to be demon-possessed. For sure, there are examples of Christians being 'afflicted' by the devil- but not 'possessed' by the devil.
Christians have been delivered from Satan's domain. As Colossians 1:13 puts it, Christ "has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves." Furthermore, we must remember that "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). This statement would not make much sense if Christians could be possessed by the devil.
Having said this, however, we must acknowledge that even though a Christian cannot be possessed, he/she can nevertheless be oppressed or influenced by demonic powers (see Job 1-2). But the oppression or influence is 'external' to the Christian, not internal. The demons seek to work 'from outside' the Christian to hinder us; they do not work 'from within' us.
In Mark 3:28-30, the teachers of the law attributed Jesus' healing to Satan's power rather than to the Holy Spirit. And this was blasphemy against God! That would not be forgiven by Jesus.
Blessings to you,

This goes against many who teach we can be free from Satan's influence. But, I heard and believe that if Satan is not bothering you, you are where he wants you (not able to back it up with Scripture).

I wonder was it because they attributed Jesus power to Satan? ...or they implied that evil could indwell with the Holy Spirit of God?
My question would be then is it blaspheme against the Holy Spirit to listen to teachings that belive that Christians could have un-clean spirits?
NIV Mark 3:28 - 30 I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven he is guilty of eternal sin He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit
KJ21 Mark 28:through 30
"Verily I say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men and blasphemies, however they shall blaspheme; but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation";
because they said, "He hath a unclean spirit"

Hello Elizabeth!
According to the scribes, blasphemy involved direct and explicit abuse of the divine name. Jesus here teaches that it also may be the reviling of God by attributing the Spirit's work to Satan.
A person can be forgiven for speaking against Jesus or persecuting His followers if it is unbelief that is out of ignorance (1 Tim. 1:13). But those who know His claims are true and reject Him anyway sin "against the Holy Spirit"- because it is the Holy Spirit who testifies of Christ and makes His truth known to us (John 15:26; 16:14,15). No forgiveness was possible for these Pharisees who witnessed His miracles firsthand, knew the truth of His claims, and still blasphemed the Holy Spirit- because they had already rejected the fullest revelation possible in Jesus Christ.
Blessings to you,
Nolan |
