Very nice!
(Quote)There are only so many words available to faithfully describe things within doctrinal categories. However, it is more than labels that make the difference between one person acting in three roles as opposed to three persons each havin…
(Quote)For more in-depth information on Oneness beliefs perhaps a Oneness church website with their statement of faith, beliefs, and FAQ would be of help.
(Quote)In these "other religions" you mention is there one where you find an identical one-to-one trinity doctrine equivalent to the christian doctrine of the Trinity – or is it just the common denominator of the number three that ma…
(Quote)I disagree that I’m making your point. On the contrary, it has been demonstrated in my example how the same term Sun may be used outside of it’s common-use meaning (a solar object) to that of being considered semantically as …
(Quote)I'm in agreement with you that John is using λόγος in this sense at Jn. 1:1, 14.
(Quote)You make an excellent and valid point in this example regarding context; however, were I to re-write your one passage example to something along the lines of ...the Sun, as she is known by a close intimate group of friends and asso…

Lastly, and in closing, John in his gospel writes οὗτος (in the masc. singular nominative case) as the subject of a clause a total of twenty-two times, where twenty-one times οὗτος…
(Quote)Are you thinking of Rev. 19:13, and in the OT the Word of the Lord, or the Word of God – Memra in the Targums?
(Quote)I’ll restate my position again in regard to the issue of gender within the realm of translation from the Greek text of the NT – and that is, when one has these type of questions one ought to defer to the original language source text t…
(Quote)It is most certainly relevant to this discussion, or are you taking the position of one who believes there is, semantically or otherwise, only one meaning for each and every Greek word? For instance is πᾶς (all) in every case to mean …
(Quote)Why do you insist upon using secondary target languages that, as one with translation background well knows, there is not one to one word equivalency but also differences in word gender found in these target languages from the original…
(Quote)Not applicable – see above.
(Quote)In your pronoun gender quest it seems as though the original language text has been discarded in favor of a German-English translation comparison. Is your argument that the Greek text should follow German language conventions?
(Quote)In the Greek text of John 1:1-3 both the noun λόγος along with the antecedent pronouns οὗτος and αὐτοῦ are masculine in gender. So to translate οὗτος a demonstrative pronoun as “this one” or “he“ is common certainly …
(Quote)(Quote)Standard orthodox trinitarian. Where God is one Being, tri-personal having three actual distinct co-eternal co-equal Persons, Father, Son, and Spirit. That the Persons are in unity and share the essence of the one Being of God.
…(Quote)First, let thank you. I will say that what I wrote prior to the statement you selected sets up the background – ie., the OT passages listed – if why Jesus has a God is in anyway related to what you wish to have more information about.…

Initial observation of Jn. 20:17b:
“πορεύου δὲ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου καὶ εἰπὲ αὐτοῖς· ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ πατέρα ὑμῶν καὶ θεόν μου καὶ θεὸν ὑμῶν.”

(Quote)When the Holy Spirit is the referent, then yes, the sole reference is to the third person of the Trinity, and etc.
