Thanks, that's how I understand scripture. The OT certainly shows God as a plural One.

Sometimes God wants you to persist in prayer and sometimes you need only ask once or twice. How will you come to know the difference?

Never marry a best friend or person God puts in your life or anyone else unless you are ATTRACTED to them. Do not confuse AFFECTION for ATTRACTION. My pastor is my friend, I don't want to touch him intimately. Attraction and knowledge and love: https://books.apple.com/us/book/laws-attraction-christian-myths-facts-about-pickups/id495115609

There's a reason people have joked for years that it's the New International PER-Version or RE-Version. It's a phrase-by-phrase translation that takes liberties and provides some doctrinal stances that are the REVERSE of Bible truth. Stick to something else, like the more literal and accurate NKJV or NASB.

So your claim is the OT doesn't describe a trinity (triunity) but only the NT does?

"Plural majesty" was a poor choice of words on my part. The questioner asked why God in the singular says "Whom will you compare me against?"

I didn't ask for an outline or for verses outside Isaiah. The point of Isaiah is "whom will you compare the singular God with?" not "I AM" or whatever you're attempting to share with verses without exegesis.

Yes, the Son is one with the Father, Isaiah 9. I've asked for comments on Isaiah 46, the plural God referring to Himself in the singular. But yes, Isaiah 9 is a great trinity apologetic and great witness to my Jewish people, who claim the EVERLASTING/ETERNAL Father is Hezekiah (who had extended life but was not the EVERLASTING Father).

I've asked for Isaiah exegesis/eisegesis. Please refrain yourself, and stick to Isaiah.

All my points are rooted in Bible passages.

Are you claiming El Elohim is a plural name for God, like YHVH Echad is?

Which strengthens the point--all English translations use the singular. No need to keep you in suspense, one apologetic I shared was that just as Song of Songs has different voices (the women, the bride/daughter, the brothers, the king), the scriptures hold the speech and prophecies of different persons of the Trinity in different passages.

You still have not addressed my question regarding ISAIAH, however: 1) Jesus said His person and His works were two witnesses from one person. 2) Mary and Joseph "raised the Word who became flesh". 3) Jesus sat down with His Father on His throne, in the right hand and power of the Father. 4) The Spirit is on Earth, usually helping believers.

No, I gave my friend my apologetics for the issue, as above in this thread. I would tell if I had a concern--I worked out these issues long ago, as a Jewish convert. There is no translation that says "us" instead of me, so I would disagree with your Hebrew interpretation.

LISTEN! It's not "stop having a blasphemous thought" any more than we "stop being angry". The opposite of anger is patience from God. The opposite of a blasphemous thought is to praise Jesus or read the Bible. SATAN HATES THIS and will stop pushing blasphemous thoughts on you when you REPLACE thoughts with God's thoughts, praise and power!

There *seems* to be, since God is speaking in the singular about Himself.

I'm a Jew and aware of this--group up with--not two Yahwehs--but the Father in Heaven and the Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit-the-Holy) in the scriptures and liturgy. You can find the son also. However, I'm asking for evidence about Isaiah without resorting to other books, like Genesis.

That's not how Bible study works--we should be able to discern what is happening from the context... I would say the context is sometimes the Spirit, sometimes the Son, and sometimes the Father have words for us in either testament.

I'm okay with your alternative presentation of the trinity/triunity/three persons, but you haven't answered why a singular "Me" in Isaiah 46:9 avoids a contradiction.

To be frank, If he wants you to become born again prior to marriage, he should keep the relationship with you, but on a chaste basis only. If you are having sex, he is showing a double-mindedness and making it harder for you to take his rededication/conversion seriously. Biblically speaking, he should end the relationship or continue in a chaste relationship only. You love him, so don't pursue him sexually for fornication, clouding his head and judgment at this challenging time. Your common-law marriage is not recognized without a ceremony and the legal commitment, biblically speaking.

How is it a strawman argument for a Berean to wonder why some OT verses refer to God as singular and some as a plural majesty? That seems a fair question to me. Do you have an answer from Isaiah, as requested?

If God cannot be expressed in one Person, why does he use the singular person to say, "To whom do you compare the singular Me?" in Isaiah 46. That is the question I've asked people to answer.

Besides giving an unorthodox position on the trinity/triunity of God, you have not answered my question--the Isaiah quote says "To whom will you compare [the singular] me?" Your apparent answer--" . . . The other two like you, over there". This does not answer my question regarding Isaiah 46:9, and actually increases the contradiction posed by that verse.

Your response is close to one of the answers I gave my friend. Thanks.

For your young child, it will be more how you live--consistently, gently, lovingly, than what you teach her--but it will help much if you always let her deal with these questions, by asking you whenever she wishes, and by you praying together and separately for answers.
